Chic in Chiffon.
Miss M, picturesque blonde,
above, left, knows what glamour
Is and how to have it. That’s why
she chose this softly feminine
frock with its swirling skirt and
delicately slim waist. You should
see her of an evening in the out
door terrace. She’s a picture in
black gossamer chiffon trimmed
with white satin. And to think,
■he made it all herself!
Cunning in Cotton.
Miss B, above, cei ier, and cen
ter of attraction at the Surf
club, has everything under per
fect control as she strolls along
the boardwalk. With not a care in
her pretty head, and lots of
streamlining in her natty little
sports dress, she walks with con
fidence and pride. She has a clev
er way of achieving variety by
switching scarfs and belts.
Cool for Sports.
Miss Y, the sports enthusiast
at the right, says that her three
piece ensemble is so very, very
and practical she wears it almost
to the exclusion of her other
frocks. Her idea is to soak up
as much sunshine as possible, and
that’s pretty easy to do when she
wears the halter and shorts sans
dress. Take a tip from Miss Y.
