Now this Fairweather Trend sult is the soundest investment you can have in your summer wardrobe. If you want to be formal, start with the suit. ·

Take the jacket off if you want to feel cooler, and you have the smartest sun-dress you could wish for the skirt and the little sun-top which you have been wearing under your suit. Then

for real sun-bathing you just whip the skirt off, revealing smartly pleated shorts which turn the whole thing into a play-suit, simply splendid for romping about on the beach.

The complete suit, consisting of the four pieces -jacket, skirt, sun-top, and shorts-would look enchanting in printed or uncrushable linen.

For the hat that is to accompany the outfit, choose something light yet shady.

A Breton sailor, in finest straw, with a ribbon picking up the colour of the frock, would be light- hearted enough for use with the suit in any of its versions.

In making jam, if lemon and almond flavouring are added to the rhubarb juice the product is an imitation apple jelly: If you flavour' the juice with a piece of lemon and a stick of cinnamon It is just like quince jelly.

you go swimming -

AILY exercises, even early in the morn-. ing, are not easy to do when the hot weather is here. You either do them lazily -which is no good at all-or else you leave them out altogether.

Have you ever thought of adapting your exercises and doing them in the swimming bath? This is a good way of slimming and keeping cool at the same time. Swimming alone doen not necessarily reduce, though it is good for keeping fit. You can have your swim either before or after you do the exercisen.

There are many slimming exercises which can be done while holding on to the bar round the edge of the swimming bath.

Or you can get a device which has a long narrow bar in the middle, with two inflated rubber floats, one at each end. This makes an ideal thing to hold on to while you are doing your underwater alimming, you cannot swim you can still trust yourself in the deep end with it, and incidentally you can use it for learning to swim.

Lying flat on your Back

F

RST there are the exercises which you start lying flat on your back. You have to get yourself Into floating position, with your arm alraight above your head, holding on to the bar. That ensures your head being above water, and means you need not trouble about your arms. Almost

Don't swallow the Water

You

OU can end up with a simple exercise on your back. Lie on your back and keep the bar under the back of your neck, no that there is no danger of swallowing any water. Stretch your arms and legs out spread-eagle fashion, and bring them together again. Itepeat several times.

All these exercises should be repeated about six times each before going on to the next one.
