At the Seashore
There is variety enough in beach attire to furnish, besides the standard end conservative beach and swimming suits, many novelties. Certain smart shops assure their patrons that they have models that are exclusive and unique—which goes to show that women garb themselves for beach and bathing with ever-increasing care. This season’s beach clothes are attractive, and the outstanding features in them are modesty and graceful designing. The beach cape In addition to the suits, has made Itself worthy of special mention. Nothing is better than the worsteds, in which many designs have been carried out. In addition there are fiber and mercerized suits and finally taffetas and satins to be considered along with accessories, the caps, shoes, sandals and hose that make up the bathing outfit. For the girl who swims considerably and needs a strong, practical suit, the hair line stripes in pure worsted offer attractive models. They are made in two-color combinations, the long overbody bordered with plain worsted In the color of the stripe, and the trunks of the striped material. In nearly all worsted suits two colors are used or a color and white to give character. Two of the new satin suits are shown in the picturq, with an tion in bloomers inviting attention in the model at the left. This suit Is made of black satin embroidered in green wool. The bloomers are fashioned much like riding breeches and the overgarment is merely the ever-pres-tat stuoCk with a girdle of green yam
braided and ending in tassels. Satin sandals and a smart satin cap suggest that this is more of a beach- outfit than swimming suit. The cape is reversible. The sulf at the right Is not meant to meet any very strenuous demands, but to look pretty while it lasts. It Is made of purple satin, trimmed with folds of .orchid satin and a turban of the orchid satin caps it off. These colors are apt to be unstable between sun and water, but the same model in black or navy blue with white bands will last out a season.
