Perhaps you are not predisposed to bathing as a pastime. Well, then, have a bathing suit just the same, OBly indulge in one that is even more lovely than it would be if it were des- timed for many drenchings. Have one hat is built for beauty alone, and e066 what wonders it does for your general summer disposition. All of our traditional thoughts about bathing suits are being readjusted with extraordinary rapidity. Now we find them made of any and every ma- terial. And you will find dyed-in-the Wool swimmers announcing that—this Year they intend to wear gingham en- tirely for bathing purposes Now there was a day when a ging- ham bathing suit was worn by a little girl whose mother elected to have her don her last year's frock for wading im the pond. And we were apt to pity her too for her makeshi(t attire. To-day we are diligently copying her nice to the bathing suit. It holds the bottom of the skirt out stiffly, giving it a certain swagger which is most amusing and pleasant for just this sort of a frock, Cretonne Enters Bathing Circles. You will want to know where there is a field of dress that has not wel- comed cretonne. And I shall have to answer that I really know of no such field. There is one of these cretonne suits shown in the picture on this page. Wisely one of those neat little patterns has been chosen so that the dress immediately takes on a quaint- ness that is most attractive in this particular. The. little squares are a dull gray that becomes, darker where the stripes cross each other to make blocks, In some of the remaining white squares, then, there are little open pink roses showing their tiny, shining faces, so that the effect be- comes all pink and white with the softening gray squares making the pattern in between.

A Band of Fe't Applique. Added. to black taffeta, that ancient and honorable of bathing sult 1m terials, there is a band of felt appli- que.

Well, ada it to black and you have some- thing that stands out decoratively on serve to keep the hair dry and free from the water's harm. But the rib- bons and scarfs that are tied over the foundation areas are the things that strike admiration to the souls of the lookers-on, They are tied at jaunty angles, with bows that droop over one ear, or both, or stick independently out at the sides in individual manners all their own. Taffeta Suits The taffeta bathing suit, too, insists upon its quota of decoration this year. It does the trick very quietly and unostentatiously, but it will be trimmed, The taffeta sult in the pic- ture illustrates this tendency most ad- mirably. They are simply bands of a contrasting color of taffeta that serve for the trimming. And then there are the sands and in the sunshine. other taffeta bathing suits which But take an Innocent looking bath- carry out the new French idea of ing suit luce the one in the picture handmade taffeta trimming mado and add a! band of cutout felt around the hem line and you have sofhe- thing that is most distinctive in its own peculiar way.

A tur ban in wistaria has side loops of rib- bon in a lighter shade and another in almond green tulle has roses in a soft shade of yellow. A novel conceit in these turbans is the low drapery which forms an eye veil of the maline. The navy blue hat, both in moire and taffeta, is appearing more and more as the season advances, Women like them. for travelling and morning wear, Young girls like the large shapes and when a lily or a cluster of lilles of the valley are fastened at one side it makes @ smart hat for the miss. One shop had a display of dotted swisses the past week that attracted unusual attention. The colorings were exquigite. There was a rich red, a soft wistarla, the new muffin shade, Va sae ca tee a RET emmiee. fg cr EE on in fact, all the prevailing colors were represented. Grays were prominent. Notwithstanding the fact that gray was placed quite a ways down on the list of fashionable colors when the season opened there has been such an unexpected demand for this color thut buyers just had to supply it. One prominent buyer asserts that gray is almost as popular as white. Those new sports veils with the large self-covered buckles are becoming very popular, ‘They look decidedly smart on the sailor which is the modish mid- summer hat, All you have to do is to lay the veil around the crown, and draw it through the buckle and let it fall in graceful folds at the side. Of coursé you can wear it over the face if you wish and it may do service as a scarf. The shops are showing these veils in chiffon, georgette, and shet- land in prevailing colors. Prices range from three to five dollars. Play togs for children are being featured in the shops. The models without buttons appeal to the busy mother and the children like them be- cause the bloomers and dress are all in one and they can dress themselves. A DELICATE BLUE CHIFFON PARASOL HAS SILK FRINGINGS OF DEEPER BLUE. _THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 14923: The gurden sets in gayly figured chintz would delight the little out- door toddler, ‘These sets consist of “the short, loose frock, the bloomers and a quaint bonnet. Oh, yes, there is a large pocket across the front of the frock. A real dressy looking motor bonnet in one exclusive shop {s-in the small, close helmet shape. The georgette is put over the frame and allowed to fall over the back and sides very much like a Sheik’s head drapery as we see it on the screen, Two twisted bands of georgette around the crown hold the folds in place and afford a pleasing trimming. Any woman could readily make a chapeau just like it. The checked gingham bathing sult i$ so easily made that it will prob- ably be very popular this summer. You can uy a pretty one in silk gi: ham.

In the cotton crepes there are attractive models, one in or- chid and white stripe has bandings and a narrow sash of pale yellow. Felt Hats For Summer MAN who loves to joke about the A contrary way that women dress has a habit of saying:. “Aha! Winter has come. I see a straw hat! ‘Well, do you know, that just now when a girl walks into a millinery shop to ask for a summer hat she finds herself confronted with all sorts of felt and duvetyne shapes, but never a straw one in sight. She may faintly plead that she likes straw, and then she will be able to have one. But, really, the smart shapes are in felt. Yes, they are wearing felt with thin summer dresses. Fashion seems to like the incongruity of the effect. Of course all of the felts are in the lightest possible weight and in colors that really are better looking than any straw colors could ever be, There is more depth und brightness to the color a felt, and then, somehow, there seems to be more meaning to the hat. e \7 cree AT TOP (CENTRE)—FIGURED CRETONNE HAS ENTERED THE FIELD OF BATHING SUITS AND 1S WORN OVER A SUIT OF FRENCH JERSEY TIGHTS.
