Modest
i
Bathing
Suits
By Edith M. Burtis
TaOSE of yon who can remember the
dsjs of the blue flannel snd alpaca
bathing suits?yon may have worn those
unbeautitui but practical models?have
seen many startling changes in both the
modes and manners at Wach and pool.
It would seenr as though we could no'
longer be surprised at the modes in
bathing costumes. It is not unlikely
thst we have ceased being shocked by
the scantness of beach attire for this
season, even at Coney Island, where
rules snd regulations governing bathing
costumes are anything but lax.
One piece bathing suits are tabooed
qnite generally at public beaches and
beach lounging is more or less curtailed.
Modes in bathing attire presented
this season lead one to believe that we
are slowly but surely descending from
the peak of extreme fashions and are
coming to a more decent and practical
attire for bathing and swimming.
There is a decided trend toward
greater modesty this summer even if,
to a considerable degree, impracticability
still exists, but this consists of ,
fabrics rather than of lines, and this is
not unpardonable.
For instance, take two of the suits
illustrated today, one entirely of velvet,
the other of relvet combined with
taffeta.
You may marvel, you may question,
you may comment on the inappropriate-,
ess of velvet, but you can hardly with
consistency, from a standpoint of good
taste or propriety, object to the lines of
these models.
Both suits are designed on simple
lines and are devoid of exte:\?ire trimming
or glaring color combinations;
and here it seems opportune to note that
the most exclusive modes in bathing
attire are mostly untrimmed save fdr
raffles and similar applications of selfmaterial.
Loud plaids and overgay
stripes have given place to materials of
one color, such as navy blue, brown,
green, purple, scarlet and black.
Suits of jersey and knitted wool vie
with those already described for popular
acceptance, and in these suits there continue
rather striking color combinations,
though these more colorful models
have nothing offensive about them. This,
too, is the result of the simplicity of
design adopted and the harmonious and
pleasing combinations of colors employed.
The suit illustrated is in black, purpls
and white, aad there are other equally
pleasing combinations aplenty from
which to choose.
Right here let me advance a thought
that apparently does not come to all
women who purchase bathing attire; a
color or color combination that Is becoming
to your natural complexion and
coloring may not be so pleasing during
the stages of sunburn or to the complexion
you acquire after the sun and
wind have ceased to shock your skin and
hair. Does your skin get . red, bronze
r dark as the season advances, or do
freckles make you look like a speckled
kn?
Ask yourself these questions, review

Decidedly a beach hat Is this
generous-brimmed sport mpdel
of rough straw, the unusual
trimming effect being obtained
by wide satin ribbon that binds
the brim edge and is turned up
in a sort of frill, finishing with
a generous bow at the back.
Straw color and old blue is the
color combination
the effects of other seasons when you
have exposed your tender pampered
skin to the elements of sun, wind, air
and water and see if you are not more
successful this season than ever.before
in your selection of bathing attire.
Hats and caps of rubber continue* to
be in fact as well as fancy worthy to
be the millinery of mermaids, and the
joy of such hair protection is that it is
smart and becoming as wel^ as practical.
And talking of hats, did you ever see
more delightfully youthful, dainty and
desirable midsummer hats than those
pictured here?
A real sunshade is the midsummer
hat of pink organdie, the briA and part
of crown section being accordion
plaited. A wide ribbon uniquely embroidered
with varicolored wools and
tied in a huge bow at the back is the
striking trimming.

TT IS predicted that with August will
* come a color vogue for purple.
Novelties in handbags will be prevalent
in early autumn, and among
those are envelope ifccketbooks of silk
brocade.
8atin wrought moire is advanced as a
fall fabric along with velvet satin and
inetal brocades. Patterns in figured
materials are large rattier than amall.
Rust, a comparatively new color of
a sort of burnt cream tone, has crept
in to the r?alm of neckwear and gulmpes,
and collar a^d cuff sets in batiste art
in line for popular favor this fall.
What was once called one-piece
kimono dresses for little girls are being
prepared for aatumn under tye title *1
chemise frocks and are developed in
knitted sweater cloth with contrasting
color knitted bands to finish neck and
short sleeves.
Pattern veils, the large veils to drop
over the hat and let hang low about the shoulders,
have borders of black patent
leather. ,

An unusual fabric combination for a bathing
cult Is shown In this 'smart model, none fther
than taffeta and velvet. Of additional interest
is the fact that the garment Is one-piece. The
cap Is a clever copy of a flower turban done
entirely of rubber
