Beach Clothes
THERE has been a riot of colour on all the smart beaches this season, for the newest holiday garment is a beach coat made of brightly-flowered or oddly-patterned cotton.
It's a most considerate fashion, too (for it sults almost any type of figure.
These coats are worn for lounging around while gossiping or "reading in your striped canvas hut. Or you can wear one to cover your swim-suit if you like undressing at your hotel and walking down to the sea all ready for a dip (that used to be rather a prob lem unless your hotel was on the sea-front). And if you like being over your ultra-smart you can wear one as a breakfast gown shorts, slacks or culotte.
Pattern which Angrave has illustrated here, is for one of these very new beach coats. And the thrifty-minded woman will ap preciate it even more when she learns that it can be used to make a beach frock as well as a cont.
The cont is shown on the second gure in the drawing. It is an easy design to make. The skirt part has a centre panel at the back and is cut a smoothly- with a fine swinging flare: it futes out at the hemline from fitting hip-line. The bodice part fits slickly at the waist, moulding the figure in the best 1937 style. The sleeves are in one with the bodice, so there is no bother about setting them in at the shoulders. The fronts of the collar. Sik bodice fold back to form narrow revers, topped by a short buttons complete the tailored, double-breasted effect.

THE
HIE frock shown on the first figure is made from the same pieces of the pattern, but treated slightly differently. The skirt, for instance, is cut to calf length-say 13 inches from the ground.
The neckline buttons high ut the throat, the right front fastens well over the left and straight down the skirt almost to knee length. And two DA the bodice and one on the pockets are added at the right side, one skirt..
Again, make it of flowered cotton, but not of such a heavy quality as that used for the coat. Perhaps one of those fine cotions with a wavy cord weave, patterned in clear definite colours such as red, blue, black and green on a dead white background.

Crownless Cap
Well, here's a suggestion for you -a crownless cap or eyeshade in raffla. And if you have any in- genuity at all, you ought to be able to cafule that same family to make it for you; work up their enthusiasm and they'll do it in a couple of hours. After that, all have to do is to see that they don't "borrow" it.

'Ovaltine' Rusks
Delicious - crisp crunchy no wonder 'OVALTINE' RUSKS are such a favourite with children. At teething time, they give just the right kind of biting exercise needed to help little teeth casily and comfortably through the gums.
And when the teeth have come, 'OVALTINE' RUSKS keep them sound and firm and ensure correct formation of the mouth. Made from purest unbleached wheaten flour, they contain the neces sary vitamins and other vital nutritive elements. A proportion of 'OVALTINE'—the renowned tonic food beverage--is added to make them still more nourishing, delicious and easy to digest,
