Know your figure type. -.
hand knitted wool, ribbed or cabled,
in black, white and colors, is
favorite if you're in the market
for a really neat appearing suit.
If the waistline is only slightly
flabby, and you're all set for the
one piece model, try few bending
exercises to whittle the waistline.
A week or two will do wonders for
the waist and make it within the
limits Of possibility to wear the
suit on which you've set your
heart.
One-Piece Suit
Ideal for Swimming
Those who plan to sit and bake
in the sun need a different type
of suit from the girls who really
like their swimming well enough
to do it. Divers and swimmers will
do well when they choose a slim
suit that is designed to fit the body
closely, and thus does not hamper
activities in the water.
A wool maillot, slim and elegant,
cut low in the back, skin tight to
the fit, will cut the water like

Raffia, superb in color and
in rs adaptability to unusual
weaves, is the newest mate
rial to make its bow in summer
footwear. This fiber is giving
expression to ever so many
novelty effects, suited for cas-
ual wear at the beach, in town
or resort. It's equally smart
with solid color cottons and lin
ems. You'll have a splendid
choice of colors as well as
styles, all easy to keep spark
ling with a damp cloth.

Smyrna times., 1949-07-14

wool and lastex suits that not only
help mold the figure to better lines,
with their control built right in the
suit, are an invaluable aid to the
girl who needs some support in her
suit.
Intense colors are favored in
these suits as well as in other
clothes, although you can still get
them in black, white and navy, if
that's your choice.
Princess Style Suit
Also Favored
The short girl who tends to be
somewhat plump will probably
want to choose one of the many
princess styles which are being
shown extensively this season. This
will give her the long, mbroken
lines which her short figure needs
to make it look dainty and feni-
nine.
The princess styles come with or
without straps, the latter in a very
cleverly styled boned bodice.
Colors chosen should be solid so
as not to break the figure and thus
make it look shorter. If there's
desire for some decoration, you
can get this in neatly by choosing
suit that is ruffled in contrast
ing color on the bodice and on the
skirt.
Mature Figures Need
Fitted Suits
Mature figures show off to best
advantage, not in full skirted
suit but in fitted suit, preferably
wool.
Suits are designed for all mature
figure problems, some giving more
support than others, depending
upon what each figure needs.
If you want to hide your thighs,
you'll be able to find suits that are
just a shade longer to do the job
for you.
Those who seek the sun and loll
on the beach may want a cotton
or rayon suit, while those who swim
will choose wool as this keeps them
warm even while drying.
Know your problems for the suit
you choose and check to see wheth-
er it answers them.
Choose Accessories
For Beach Comfort
One of the smartest things to
wear over the bathing suit, going to
and leaving the beach, is sleek,
silky, full-length coat. These are
slim and fit well to the figure with
or without belt.
The coats run just little bit
higher than the beach coat of
some time ago, but as you have
guessed. they are not limited to
beach wear alone. Wear them at
home when you answer the door,
or don them when you want to
look nice going shopping.
Incidentally the same coats go
nicely over formals, too, because
they're flowing and can be worn
without the belt.
For less expensive coat choose
terry robe which has taken on a
new look. These come in the short
lengths and many Of the new fash
ions are sporting low, graceful
collar with flounce, and a built
in belt.
Coats of this toweling are com
Portable to wear as you step out OF
the water because they're absorb
ent and will dry you without the
regular towel. They're excellent for
youngsters, too, in case you feel
they're getting lobster pink and
need protection from the sun.
Large, easily washed cotton tow.
els On which to lie on the beach
are also essential for comfort al

glorious solid colors, as well as
J prints with a nautical motif.

Senior Choir Spends Day At Hyn-

The Senior Choir of Asbury

Large-scale unemployment does
not appear likely because govern
ment and business plan to spend
and invest heavily at home and
abroad.
Webster says views on the out
look for several commodities were
given by Hobson in the latest
issue Of Keeping Up on the Farm
Outlook, a leaflet which will be
mailed regularly to Benton county
farmers on request to the agents
office.
The outlook in milk produced
for fluid use is still favorable.
More PEOPLE and fewer COWS
make the future look better for
fluid milk production in Wash
ington than in many areas. The
price of milk. for fluid use is
expected to drop a little. The
main reason why prices in some
areas are lower than a year ago
is that people are drinking less
milk. The outlook for milk used
for manufacturing is poorer. How
ever, people are eating more
butter because prices are lower
and apparently are using less
margarine.
The supply of wheat is still
important in figuring prices but
the government dominates the
demand side.
Supplies of nearly all fresh
fruits are scarcer now than they
were a year ago. This was
caused by small apple and pear
crops and the January freeze of
citrus crops. A small apple crop
in the eastern and central states,
such as they had in 1948, is
nearly always followed by a larg-
er-than-average crop. This may
indicate lower prices for the 1949
crop. A larger pear crop is likely
for 1s49 because pear production
has been increasing gradually
for rs years and the trend IS
still up, and small crop, like the
one in 1913, is also usually fol-
lowed by large crop although
it is not as noticeable as with
apples.

|ried by this time and doesn't need

can't understand why John can't

keeps getting in deeper and deeper.
The idea, in concocting a thing of
this sort. is to keep piling on COM
plication after complication until
complete disaster can be averted
only by the revelation of something
the author knew all along but you
didn't. Mr.. Krasna, the playwright
Of the original, and Director David
Butler and Writers Phoebe and
Henry Ephron, who fashioned the
screen adaptation, have managed
this chore capably enough. The orig
inal joke Is stretched thin by the
time John finds he is free to wed
Mary, but 1t is hung with a number
of solid comic situations along the
way.
An expert cast explores virtually
every possibility of the plight of
young man with a wife who sees
another wedding thrusting itself in
exorably upon him before he can
get to Reno to prepare himself for it.

Bergman, clad in 80 pounds Of
shining armor, but it is as a shadowy
presence mystically implying that
there Is an unhridgable distance be-
tween the most earnest Of actresses
and the most dramatic Of saints.
It Is clear that Producer. Walter
Wanger and his associates have
placed their faith, not in Joan, but
In Miss Bergman. Similarly it is far
from proved at this point that this
was not . smart investment Of their
millions. After all, time has given
the former a haziness IN public
esteem that contrasts strikingly with
Miss Bergman's solid enchantment,
q quality that Is in nowise mini
naized by her uncanonical ward
robe in the picture.
Moreover, in spotting the actress
heroine in so much Technicolored
scenic splendor. and such thunder
GUS music, the producer has taken
occasion to fortify her with the
largest and most expensive cast
ever recruited.
II all this leaves MISS bergman a
dubious girl for liberating the weak
Dauphin's France from the English,
the odds are that it will do much to
free Sierra from the financial haz-
ards of the production.
II X X
A vague basis for all this splendid
spectacle Is found in Maxwell An
derson's play, Joan Of Lorraine" :"
The connection is so remote, how
ever, that the principal resemblance
between the original and the screen
play Is that Miss Bergman Is the
star Of both, and Mr.. Anderson the
author. Y
His screen Joan, brought to being
under the direction of the late Vic
tor Fleming, calls for both more OF
the actress and more of the saint.
