IN-THE matter of her Summer ward
robe, the wise woman loo Its ahead.
The bathing suit ie a part of her
wardrobe, end there have been moments
during the warm days of the past week
suggestive of the time when It will he
Co dellg-htful to lave In the limpid salt
waters o the beach at Seaside, or to
plunge, from the river hoathouses. Into
the cool caresses of the 'Willamette; thus
it Is that the Summer girl to already
busy with plans for the assistance of
Cupid in his busiest season, and Is "turn
ing over and over, in. her mind the im
portant question:
"Shall it be of durable brllliantlne in
dainty polka-dot pattern, or from the
knitting loom in a fetching combination
of red and white, or yet again. and she
catches her breath at the thought, of
some smart tint In taffeta ellk, so modish
and rustly before the dip, but so start
llngly affectionate in Its clinging folds
after the dip.
Many a Portland maid, clever in design
ing, and handy with her needle, will con
trive her own bathing suit at home, and
even now Is cluttering up the family
sewing room with bright bits of silk, and
ribbon tor the adorning of the brlllian
tiDe or alpaca creation that Is to cause
the masculine head to turn upon Its ver
tebrae! pivot in admiration as she passes,
on the Summer sands. And many an
other Ingenious Portland maid, working
upon a somewhat plain and unadorned
foundation, from the shelves of a local
shop, will eventually produce a natty
costume fancifully decorated with bands
of brightly colored ellk and embellished
with a fluttering silken tie and sash to
match. .
But for those who are content to forego
the Individuality to be had only by per
sonal part In the production of the bath
ing costume, the Portland shops are
abundantly providing. Even while the
Portland maid was still shivering in the
clutches of the "silver thaw" and cosy
lng up close to the family fireside, the
Portland merchant was looking forward
to her Summer needs, and sending out
the orders which were to fill his show
windows, at the first cordial burst of sun
shine, with natty Summer bathing suits
of every color, style and kind of ma
terial, for her special regalement. The
orders are even now coming in, and even
now on the long tables of the stockroom,
all ready for display upon the opening
of the bathing season, are reposing the
suits that the-Summer girls of Portland
are to wear at the seaside or on the
banks of (and perhaps even in the waters
of) the Willamette.
According to the department-store
authorities, the bathing suits this season,
for the most part, will be of alpaca or
brllliantlne. Of course there will - be the
silk suit for the maid daring enough to
risk It, and a few of the old reliable
knitted costumes are sandwiched In
among the stock, but many seasons of ex
perience have shown to both the girl
who wears the suit, and the merchant
who sells it, that there Is nothing like
the alpaca and torilliantine materials to
withstand the rigors of hathing wear, to
hold the color of its dyes, to resist the
clinging tendency of goods when wet, and
for all around, solid comfort; these ma
terials, too, come In many fetching colors,
and if embroidered, or, trimmed with
bands of colored silk, have a smart ap
pearance not obtainable In the knitted
garment.
In the accompanying pictures are shown
several styles of bathing suit that will
be popular this Eummer, all of alpaca or
brllliantlne, and Hn brown, blue, black
and red, with trimmings of contrasting
colors. These patterns came direct from
the shelves of a local department store,
and areready for Immediate wear as they
are. but the more Ingenious of Portland's
Summer girls will enhance the decora
tive appearance of these costumes, by ad
ding fanciful trimmings of parallel or
"slgzag" bands of silk or ribbon, to the
bottom of the untrimmed skirts and
sleeves. This Individual touch will give
originality to any style of suit, and the
tlarlng, abbreviated alpaca skirt may be
individualized according to the taste of
the wearer, by decorations running trom
a single, narrow silk band around the
hem, to the row-upon-row effect, with
either broad or narrow silk bands, reach
ing all the way from hem to waistband.
Several new and Ingenious Ideas In
rubber caps have also put In an appear
ance with the season's bathing suit stock.
Tne oia puckering-string" cap of rub
ber, which but very imperfectly protected
the hair and was rarely becoming, has
been Improved upon until the caps of the
present season will not only guarantee
the most reckless swimmer dry locks
when her dip is over, but will, by means
of nifty little puffs and bows, add smart
ness to her costume. The cap which can
withstand the dive -will probably never
De invented, hut the Summer girl Is no
porpoise anyway, and the present cap
for the ordinary Portland Summer (rirl.
Is sufficiently waterproof to prevent a
saltwater shampoo.
