FOR SEA AND SHORE.
Fashion's Place In The Sun.
There are certain modes that can be as amusing and fantastic as you please, and yet preserve individuafi-j ty and a certain amount bị restraint, writes the Hon Mrs. C. W. Feres- ter. The best bathing suits are really very attractive this season- in fact, sometimes they almost resemble two-piece suits." Al- though generallyin_gay_colouring. all beach clothes should be chosen with a due regard to type and environment.
Cotton, linen, jersey, and heavy tustore in plain and printed designa all have their place in the sun. Colours as a general rule should he somewhat' stronger than thove which look Best under trees, On the other hand, nothing surpasses the "chie" or becomingness of black, American, women appreciably affect black and reverse it with colour. Many of the new jersey fabrics show these reversed effects.

Red and white linen and thick gay tussore are pleasing for British re- sorts. Jersey is always a good choice for hard swimmers. Green is a great favourite this season, buł is Dest, perhaps, for the ultra- sunny, fereign beaches..
For either home or foreign waters the costumes illustrated are) effective and easy of attainment. Spalted black and yellow tussore s let into the suit of thick yellow tussore, worn with a large yellow hat. Butcher-blue linen trousers look well with a white jersey top embroidered in blue, white, and red. The swimming suit of emerald- green jersey is bound with black.
Some fabrics are rubberised qut- side these form skirts over the bathing suit, which will be found delightful for the beach. A green and white suit of jersey has a loose jacket of green outside reversed; with white, worn with Д green jersey jumper and skirt. Over this is a green rubberised spongy fabric,
lined white, that can be discarded as desired.

For the more fashionable resorts appearance is all-important. Black and pink linen pyjamas with a pink linen hat make a most becoming choice. The yoke shaping, which the wide trousers are set, re- quires skilful fitting, for these newer suits for gun and sea are very lovely affairs. Trousers seem to get wider and wider. Some in thin fabrics are set in pleats from the knee, and suggest an attractive sort of divided skirt.

No matter what the colour of the dress may be, nearly every woman has chosen for the first day of the meeting a hat of red, brown, or black straw. There is a tremendous run on these three tones.
But the smartest women have too, a second hat.
It will tone with the frock just as the wide-brimmed one would do, but It will be small, close-fitting, and extremely chic, and it will boast a fold of tullé or an edging of lace straw protruding for about inch.

With it will be worn an eye veil, which will just clear the bridge of the nose. If the day is hot and the sun is ruthless the wide brim will be worn. If there is a grey look about the weather and a high wind the close-diting hat will be milady's choice.
For Hunt Cup day (Wednesday) clothes will be rather more sub- stantial. Coats and skirts of printed silk and crepe de chine, flowered silk dresses with long coats lined to match, gowns of "tle" silks spotted with black or white; and hats prin- cipally amall, will be the rage.
