I—— • — — Interest In Beach Fashions Grows E NEW YORK, May 17 — (U.R)— Fashions alone testify to the growing cult II of iF.ich lisp lin(1 h,ive ha *’ m ” ch 10 <l ° wlth Ponging the hours spent on || the sands nt nil the smart resorts. The lure of the outdoors, the heulth-gfv-I I jng qe iilty of the sun’s rays, the athletic mood, all contribute to the growing | P nthti e 'asm for attuning one’s daytime hours, summer or winter, to the music II o f ihe srd sen waves Bocauae of the interesting exploitation of bathing hour fashions at Palm I n«irh this season, it is naturally con- —

■ Beam iii.o — --■ - I chided that summer resorts which | play up ’o ,he ocean wi ” be sayer5 ayer I ami more fashionable for the ’sum- | mer of 1929. and that women who | have never before taken the beach I costume very seriously as a fashionlable asset of their wardrobe must now lecognixe what the world expects of them. Those who have hesitate,l to adopt the pajamas as perhaps too spectacular for a public appearance must bow to the fact that it has been accepted by the most conservative. That this style of costume was much fore generally worn In the south this season than last, that it sauntered through the streets of Palm Beach occasionally as well as on the beach proper, that the “pajama party” proved a new diversion. and that it qualified for luncheon and tea at the beach chib,, are all points in favor of its greater fashionable exploitation. Not all that is new and charming in the new beach life can be attribut- ■ cd to the pajama, however. Suits I with dressmaker details, that dash of I daring, the sunback cut, untrammelI ed color expression and perhaps | above all. the infinite variation of the | ensemble mode, all contribute to the I new zest of beach styles. In the variation of the costume -| idea, one may enumerate the little I cape which is added to the jersey or I silk suit or the long cape which may | take its place.
