wear, with white conspicuous by its
absence. Stripes. checks and plaids
vie with prints, large and small Red
is used-but please don't overdo it.
Limit yourself to one touch of it
10 a costume-in the form of trim
ming, bolero or the like. Daytime
fabrics are many, including piques,
f1annels, challis. sheer woods. jer-
seys and all the rayon materials.
In silhouette, the daytime models
cling to the casual styles. Many
sheer wool jackets are worn over
basic silk frocks effectively. Sheer
pastel wool dresses are popular and
so are pure linens.
Play togs provide the field in
which you can satisfy your fair for
the highly-styled and unusual. The
ballerina skirt, typical high style,
is found in play suits and bathing
suits and is most attractive. It is
a short. full skirt which reaches
2 or 3 inches above the knee, usual
ly shirred and treated to stand out
very full-hence the name. Worn
over shorts or bathing suits, they're
being talked about with enthusiasm.
One of the most striking play suits
seen recently had a skirt and shorts
OF crepe with a long-sleeved, two
toned jersey blouse. They're talk
ing quite a bit about long-sleeved
play clothes again, as they did last
year, but apparently therell have
to be even more talk, for the idea
did not take very well before. We
do believe, however, that long
sleeved dinner gowns will be ex-
tremely in favor.
Other play clothes include Gu
lottes, some with an elasticized front
panel to insure a better fit; flax
twist linen ,slacks worn with shirts
outside, and the now famous four
piece outfit which includes plaid
suspender shorts and bolero and
plain shirt and skirt. One Of the
most attractive displayed recently
was designed in this manner IN
linen.
A Word About
Bathing Suits.
Detailing on these clothes is ex-
cellent, colors good and silhouettes
designed to give the utmost in COM
fort and freedom of action. And
here's a word about bathing suits:
We've seen a number of two-piece
styles which leave the midrin ex-
posed, but as to how well these will
go over we do not know. A famous
designer of swim suits has brought
out new hour glass" one-piece
type which combines rayon, lastex
and cotton and looks exactly like
cut velvet. Many of the suits have
the ballerina skirts which we men
toned before.
Mixing and matching of sport
togs is just as popular in Southern
wear as it is in Northern and women
find that the varied combinations
Of blouses with shorts and slacks
are most effective.
Among the many good looking
evening clothes, nets, chiffons ana
jerseys are top-ranking favorites,
the latter because it packs so beau
tifully. One shop is excited over
slacks for dinner and had an outfit
with peg-topped black crepe trous-
ers and jeweled sweater top. An
other, on the same order, was Of
Jersey.
When you're completing your
shopping for summer resort clothes
1on't overlook the Importance of 4
Iairly warm coat or suit.
There are so many other articles
needed that it's a wise idea to make
, list of everything from evening
wraps to sun glasses with flower
trimmed rims when you go to pack.
Sturdy hanger cases, hat boxes for
your sailors and turbans, overnight
bags for freshening up on
he trip-all are necessary. 1!
