Brightest star in the resort wear Armament this season is parachute white, shown in a series of swim suits and play outfits done in crisp white cotton twill, to dramatize Sun-tanned skin.
 The company which shows this new collection of sportswear is en- gagged principally in the nanufac- ture of parachutes for the Army Air Forces. Only three numbers are included in their apparel line this year--a swim suit, skirt and sum- back dress, all of the same white cotton, all designed to be worn to- gether or separately.
 Lacking lastex, zippers and many of the other hitherto necessary in gradients of swim suits, this ingen- ious designer uses fabric manipula- tion and lacings to achieve the im- portant stretchability and fit.
 The clothes are functional prac- tical and as new as the parachutes after which they are named. They are designed for easy laundering and long wear and are destined to see service many seasons.
