SUNSHINE WEAR

EEPING conl looking cool is a diffi- cult matter when the thermometer is high.

The climax to rising tempera- tures may be thunderstorms, but in the home it mostly results in rising tempers, due to un- suitable clothing.

My advice to you is let your body breathe. In a prowl round the shops, I have found a nice collec- tion of cool, summer clothes for the entire family.

My first find was a short-sleeved, easy-atting frock. This was made from an entirely new material called Texray.

A thin, slightly rough-surfaced fabric which tallors excellently, and, because it does not crease casily or wilt in the heat, it is ideal for practical everyday wear,

Not the least of its attractions is its good temper in the washtub.

Our artist has sketched a typical style at the top left of this page. A narrow, self-stripe gives slim- ining look to this design, and it has an attractive draped rever in the bodice, completed with a you-please belt.

Cool-making Suits

le-as-

Many of the dresses are in a plain weave, nnd all are ment- fitting styles which are distinctly cool-making.

The jumper sults have short sleeves with round or revor necks. and special attention has been paid to belts, buttons and fancy stlich- ing.

One sult I noticed had rings of embroidery resembling buttons.

Among the colours, there is a delightful soft blue called Daima- tian blue, and the excellent colour range includes a wild rose pink. ambergold, pale lilae and a deit cate green. Texray" is also cool looking in white.

The fabric from which it is fashioned will ensure that plenty of ultra-violet rays penetrate to your body in summer time.

This material is obtainable In many different patternings and weaves cotton, wool and artificial silk mix- tures. As the fabric is composed of millions of tiny cells, this allows the sunlight to penetrate freely to the body.

It is just as suitable for chil- dren's wear as for adults, and polo shirts and blouses are made for father and mother as well as the amall fry of the family,
