circus she saw in California made
more impression on her than movie

She saw Robert Montgomery and

she met a list of film notables that

Hard enough, yes, but throw in
three pretty girls and three dazz-
ling parkas, and that is another
thing.
In the lobby of the Gastineau Ho-

ter of form, in more ways than one,
Just what milady should wear on
the beach, and since the season is
about to start it seems fitting
that this matter should be given
some consideration.
There are several angles to be
considered. Especially if said angles
belong to a comely blonde. What
had in mind, though, before allow
ing the fancy TO drift on the sub
ject, was the problem confronting
those whose duty it is to rule just
what goes and how much shows.
Silk worms aren't going to have
to work overtime this year, judg-
ing by previews of beach styles.
Not that the designs of last season
taxed the imagination unduly; bu5
some of the more extreme new
models are SO streamlined they prac-
tically float way-or would If a
young lady wore them /, into the
water.
1t seems hardly fair that any one
committee should be burdened with
deciding what standards of deco
rum should govern beach wear,
What if they try to be liberal and
let slip by some daring design
which would give the life guards
stiff necks and perhaps result in
some unfortunate drowning? Or
they might, in reactionary mood,
go to such lengths of modesty in
their DEGREES that the beaches
would be deserted and more than
one resort owner go bankrupt as q
result!
No longer is it simply manner
of donning something designed to
adequately cover a person and yet
stand up under water treatment.
Today a beach outfit is almost a
wardrobe in itself. A bathing suit
is only MISUNDERSTANDING still
rather neeessary-to a smart sum-
mer. resort ensemble. The modern
maid must. have Stacks, robe, sun
bonnet, swim cap, beach sandals,
bag for accessories, sun blanket in
shade and design matching the rest
of the outfit and various other
items.
r. Bronze Suits Shown!
One of the smart new numbers
is, appropriately enough, m d e
from material called blister
crepe" Probably the idea behind the
name is that after the first couple
sunbaths of the season, it will be
impossible to tell whether it's Bills
ter crepe or blistered epidermis.
!, That isn't the only new material
on the market, however. Swim
suits are being shown which have
been fabricated from glass, rubber,
newsprint and even bronze! L
haven't seen any of these bronze
creations, but it strikes one that ii
might be bit awkward to arrive
at the. beach and find that a most
necessary rlvet was missing!
There seems to be only one thing
the stylists have overlooked in
creating their fashions for the
forthcoming beach season. There
are suits for lounging, sports wear,
tea ON the beach, sunbathing and
promenading. But apparently they
have neglected to design any for
swimming. Certainly there must
be one or two girls left who are
old-fashioned enough to want to
actually go in the water. For
these apparently there is no hope
unless they resort to the old swim
ming hole and go their sisters one
better by adopting a style little
more streamlined than ever!
