! are well liked. The news about
shorts is that they are longer this
year, extending almost to the knees
and very high-waisted. The smartest
ones have cuffs, looking exactly like
English school boy trousers. They
were shown in recent parade of
beach wear in gray flannel, with a
fame red shirt, and were very snappy!
Very wearable and exceptionally

cross bars of white.
Linen shorts in dark and vivid
colors have Upper plackets and are
worn with thin jersey crew-neck
shirts. horizontally striped II odd,

then closed with a green upper from
that point to the end of the placket
of the shorts, below the waistline.
There is a separate wrap-around

DIMITY with rickrack trim Is
what they are using for some OF
the new bathing suits. 1t sounds
rather thin, but, of course, 1t Is worn
over white jersey. and then Just think
how quickly it will dry out in the
sun! The one we saw was navy blue,
made like little dress. These dress
maker suits will continue the popu-
larity that they gained last Summer
and tend toward less exposure of the
body than was the rule with the
regulation swimming suit.
The glove.fitting suit is still with
us, however. You will find it in a
new lastex fabric having a smooth
mat finish with q wave-like pattern
of gray on white. 1t is cut in many
small cores to insure q perfect fit.
with special uplift features as well.
Another swim suit is worn by the girl
at left in the photograph above. 1t
is made of wool zephyr with mate
lasse weave in royal blue and its out
standing feature is q trimming of
lemon velvet bands drawn through
slashes across the front, and forming
shoulder straps that tie below the
waistline. Velvet Is quite new on a
bathing suit! With this Is worn a
white terry cloth cape with hood.
At right is a blue cotton printed
suit trimmed in yellow with match
ing coat lined in yellow terry cloth.
Full-length beach coats made like
house coats, with tremendously full
skirts and tightly fitted bodices but
toned from collar to waist, are SO in
triguing that in many instances they
do double duty and are used again
In the evening. Some beach dresses
are made in the same style of bold
patterned materials. Black and
white is extremely good for beach
dresses and looks well on the sand
with brilliant accessories Of red, green
or blue.
Culottes are still in the picture and
have taken up the Dalmatian craze
for jaunty little boleros to top them
of, worn with blouse Of q con-
trasting color. In fact, there is no end
to the delights and surprises Of the re-
sort shops, and whether or not you
are going places you will want to
take q good look at what they are
displaying these days.
