THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA,, JULY 7, 1914, FOR BATHING FROCKS STYLE ENOUGH TO SUIT ALL. AND MATERIALS VARY Elaboration Permitted, Though It Wil Be Frowned On by the Women of Taste—Black and Dark Blue the Popular Colors. (By MARY DEAN.) Smart bathing frocks are as varied In style as are the finest dresses of the season, and they may be made plain or elaborate as the taste of dictates. However, the refinement who is fond of the sake of the sport, will prefer to err on the side of con-| s ervativeness, rather than to dress conspicuous- ly and attract un- due attention to! herself. Black, and dark blue are the most popular colors for these water suits, al- though plaids, stripes and solid colors in bright hues are seen in some of this sea- son’'s models. Nowadays the skirt and blouse are joined at the walst line, which prevents any unpleasant separation after the wearer has entered the wa- ter, The blouse portion of the modish sults all show pretty much the same lines; the waist and sleeves are gen- erally cut in one with a lacing, or fancy vest finish at the front and a turn<down collar of contrasting goods. It 48 10 the skirt portion that the strik- ing features aro introduced. The tunic, the plaited skirt, the flare skirt and the pantaloon skirt all have their place and vie with each other for popularity. Quite the newest and most unusual to be seen is the pantaloon skirt. This has two plain top flounces with a third under flounce that is divided. By means of rubbers each side of the skirt 18 drawn in closely to the knees and thus forms pantaloons. It is claimed for this skirt that not only is it a pretty, graceful model, but that it is comfortable to wear and easy to swim in. This model is hardly suitable for stout figures, but then there is the lJong tunic that is sure to prove becoming to the majority. The choice of material is impor- tant and should be governed by its wearing qualities and by its appear- enoe when wet. Satin has long been a favorite because it looks well even after it has been in the water and, if a good quality is employed, one will get a whole sea~ son of hard wear put of it. Salt water satin comes about thirty-six inches wide and costs about two dollars a yard. Taffeta and moire are also used for bathing suits, but to got satisfaction a very good quality must be bought, for the cheaper grades do not stand the salt water. Nothing can compete with cravenetted mohair for good hard wear, and this material is quite as light and com. fortable to wear as any of the silk weaves mentioned. When making these suits the rule of pearl, or bone buttons should be observed whenever they can be made do eervice, for hooks and eyes are apt to rust and be very unsatisfactory. DICTATES OF FASHION In neckwear the turndown collar is here to stay. Black and white china frocks are seen in the shops. Beads in flaming yellow pink color are called tango beads. Rice cloth is a sheer cotton, with an inwoven knotted yarn. Stiff straight branches of flowers stand at the front of some hats. Fabric bags are a new note for spring. Rich brocades and metal cloths will be used. The plaque shaped hat is attraeting | most attention at present. It is al most flat on top and elevated by a ban- deau at the side back. The skirt with the winding flounce draperies will be very much worn. These skirts have a rufle winding | around the figure in serpentine fash- h‘ [ Afternoon wraps are frequently of | taffota, quilled and rufiled with elabo- rate meck ruffs or hood collars that | show to advantage & bit of bright lin- | ing. The old bell sleeve of our grand- mothers is endeavoring to make its ap- pearance. It is a pretty fashion, and most of us will accord it a hearty wel come. ! “r.n and Flowered Eponge. - Plain and Checked Silk. Striped Silk Linings. Qoat linings are receiving much at- tentlon. Vivid stripes are used inside | the plainest of tailored cloths. A dark | serge is most inconspicuous until the coat flares open to display brilliant orange, green, or blue stripes on a whites ground. | WICKER'S MANY USES ARTICLES OF FURNITURE GIVE DISTINCTION TO ROOM. By No Means Costly, and Any One With Taste WIHl Be Able to Select Juet What Is Required for the Apartment. While rooms are delightfully at- tractive furnished throughout in wicker, it still remains true that one or two pleces of wicker furniture add distinction to almost any room. Sometimes this plece or two has been added for effect; sometimes for com- fort. Perhaps some of the older wooden furniture has given out, and some wicker has been added at a lower cost than it would have been possible to duplicate the older pleces for; or, agaln, perhaps it has been impossible to match in color or kind the worn-out furniture. So it can be seen that wicker will solve many problems, writes Fthel Seal Davis in the Philadelphia North American. Among the different colors offered for choice, we find the natural willow —unstained. And, instead of this seeming raw and crude, in some rooms it glves a very unusual note, espe- clally an hour-glass armchair at six or eight dollars. Another good color {s mocha brown, and there are two particularly attractive greens—forest and sea green. A wicker sofa costs about thirty- five dollars, the covering of the up- holstered seat oushion being extra. But a five-foot box davenport in wil- In Dainty Wicker. low has been seen for $28. The wicker flower stand {8 about four dol- lars and a half, and the footrest, three dollars. Imagine a living room in a little summer cottage furnished in this wise: Cream walls and white wood- work, a sage-green summer woolen rug, sea-green wicker furniture, in- cluding table, desk and desk chalr, davenport, window bench, book- shelves, two straight wall chairs and two armchairs—one a wing and the other with a side pocket for maga- zines. For the notes of color in this room we will depend on the window hangings, which are dull-rose uphol- sterer's silk; the plctures, which should all be framed in black, and the flowers, which should be used in pro- fushion. One of the prettiest sets is a win- dow bench—a most attractive plece of furniture, and a nifty little book trough. What will we not adapt! Time was when troughs were used only for holding water or feed for animals; and here we have them In our best Sunday-go-to-meeting rooms, with books in 'em! In almost any shop the seat might be priced at $15 and the book trough at elght dollars in a 1x3-foot efze. NOVEL FANCIES IN FOOTWEAR 8hoes, With Thelr Trimmings, Have Become a Most Important Part of the Costume. The fan-shaped plait and the rosette are the prominent trimmings of the house and evening shoe now, and the place to wear them is at one side of the shoe instead of in the center. There must also be a handsome orna- ment or buckle made of chased metal with a huge colored cabochon stone in the middle. Brocade, gold and silver tissue, and ribbon are used for the plaits, and ! furnish a change from the tulle or velvet background employed lately for the purpose. The value of the buckles makes the remark ‘“without ornaments” neces- eary when the price of the footwear §e stated. They are copies in many cases of old designs and some are so cleverly contrived that they look real- | ly antique. Furniture brocade has been found 80 comfortable for house footwear that it is in high favor and the short, rounded toe is popular, the rosettes and ornaments making up for the pau- city of covering on the instep. Tight Basque and Full 8kirt. Does the description of a taffeta dress, buttoning straight down the front, six inches below the belt, with darts over the bust and seams at the silde and back, remind you of the dresses of long ago? Quaint and charming are these dresses, especial- ly as they are not snug fitting and worn as they are over the new cor- setless figure with the wired organdy collars The tuzics are invariably long; occasionally are “hey of the apron variety and usually worn over the tight, narrow skirt, which closely resembles pantalettes.
