FASHIONS AND FANCIES

The bathing season at the Win- ter resorts give a pretty accurate forecast of what will be worn at the Summer beaches. And those who do not hie themselves South ward for the Winter may study. the mode with comfort and at leisure for the coming Summer

season.

Despite the preference of many bathers for the two-piece knitted suits that rely upon the belt for contrasting colour, there are to be seen many suits in fancy fabrics. Taffeta, velvet, silk and satin are all on view at Florida resorts.

These caps are now apt to be smartly trimmed as well as dis- tinctive in shape.

The parasol comes into great importance on the beach. Para- sols that match the cape are par- ticularly fetching. They come in very diminutive handles, with beautifully designed fabrica shedding a rosy, glow from the circles of silk, cretonne linen or raffila."

Accessories loom particularly important. It seems as though no beach costume, were complete without the smart cape or coat that forms so picturesque a covering.
