Beach Editor on the Beach
Doesn't Swim--She Notes.. .

| The most youthful beach robes are
knee-length and full-skirted with
fitted waistlines and hoods.
Bright, clear red and yellowish.
red lipsticks look smartest with dark
ly suntanned skins. Rust-red is the
most f~lattering' shade of lipstick on
the sun worshippers who are vaca.
tioning here. Blue-reds, orchid-reds
and fuchsia shades are not a bit
becoming to golden tan compilations.
COLORS TO SUIT
SUN-TANNED SKINS
Black clothes, including evening
gowns, are not as becoming to the
suntanned as white, yellows anc
pastel shades. The one exception tc
this observation has to do with bath
ing suits. Shiny black swim suits
particularly those of elastic satin
are becoming to everyone, regardless
of the shade of her skin.
Most stunning woman at Hialeah
race track recently was a brunette
with honey-beige skin. She wore a
white sharkskin suit, royal blue silk
blouse, matching turban and vivid
royal blue suede shoes. Her lipstick
and nail polish were crimson.

would include bills for a 40-hour
week. collective bargaining, two
weeks vacation with pay for
workers. BY the time the parlia-

1895, these bills had become law.

him To name a new board OF direc-

these measures would improve
workers morale and consequently

1917, and Premier Daladier took
