BEACH WEAR

With the summop proper still to come, we are out on the warpath looking for that sartorial something — not only in street and formal frocks, but also in holiday and beach dresses — that is different from the girl's next door. CHOULD you be spending part of your time by the sad sea waves you will, of course, want to wear something that will retain its freshness after repeated encounters with the laundry. All the washing silks and cottons should appeal to you and be worth inclusion in the seaside trousseau, but have you thought just how nice a jaunty jumper suit of cretonne could look? Cretonne Is not first favorite these days, nor even second, but it has its morits, for it wears splendidly, washes well, and invariably looks most attractive. The beach suit made of cretonne should not require much material, for sleeves are considered de trop by the majority- of girls, who these days crave that brown, sunburned look in 1 io.il of the lily-white appearance that was the thing in their mothers' youth. Made well, a cretonne suit should be most suitable for holiday wear, and, should you decide to go in fqr one, pick a cretonne that has a small pattorn and with it a large hat of straw, and a bag and sunshade made of the same material.
