The leg movement is begun by, having the legs wide apart and bringing them "together as the arma are shot forward. The next movement is the same as the physical culturists' "knees out- ward bend," and is completed by n. vigorous kick bringing the legs into the first position.

Strangely enough, I found" navy blue to be the popular colour this year for bathing attire. Also I found frills, pleats and embroidery and all the popular embellishments for Trocks, on bathing attire as well.

Beaches this year hear the click. click of the Japanese sandals. The little wooden sandals which the Japanese girls wear on the streets will be quite the popular thing on the board walks and bouches. They are fashioned out of light-weight wood with a band neross the instep to hold them to the foot.. Some are painted in bright colours with Japanese figures painted on the straps. A pair in an orange shade has bronze coloured instep straps. No stockings are worn with the wooden sandals except oc casionally an ankle-length sock, similar to the short Japanese stocking.

White jade and white coral are equally as fashion- abla although most of the depari ment shops do not carry them in quantities: Chokere, necklaces. bracelets and pendant earings of! crystals are especially appropriate for summer evening wear..
