Beach Clothes

THERE has been a riot of colour on all the smart beaches this season, for the newest holiday garment isra 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 sen-front). And if you like being 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- precinte it even more when she learns that it can be used to make a beach frock as well as a cont.

The coat is shown on the second figure 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 ture; it futes out at the hemline from

moulding the fitting hip-line. The bodice part ts slickly at the waist, figure in the best 1937 style. The sleeves are in one with the bodice, sa there is no bother about setting them in at the shoulders. The fronts of the bodite fold back to form narrow revers, topped by a short collar. Six butions complete the tailored, double-breasted effect.

Make it of patterned ripple or waffle pique or any of the slightly heavier In such are being shown novelly collons or crease-resisting linens that delightful abundance this year. Or buy your material in the furnishing department of your shop-a smooth, shiny chatz with n welter of flowers In soft colours on a pinky-beige ground.

THE 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 at the throat, the right front fastens well over the left and straight down the skirt almost to knee length. And two the badlee 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 coal. Perhaps one of those line cottens with a wavy cord weave, patterned in eleur detnite colours such as red, blue, black and green on a dead white background,

Well, here's a suggestion for you -a crowntess cap or eyeshade in ruffle.

'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 easily 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.
