New Beach Wear Bares the Knee United Press International The newest in beach wear bares the knees. Not for dunk ing but just for relaxing and sunning are the new length skirt or culottes which end just above the kneecap. The latest fashions in minia ture charms do the most amaz ing things. A report from London tells of solid gold min iatures of television sets, ra dios and cigarette boxes - all of them designed to play mu sic. The radio and cigarette box tune up when the lid is opened; the TV set switches on with the turn of a knob. Another gimmick is the gold "toaster" charm. Gold toast pops up from a tiny box after it has been set by a knoD. Listen for the "ruffle" of spring in dresses and play clothes for the toddler set. Ruffles are used to trim col lars, sleeves and bloomer legs; to decorate the backside of play suits; and to edge the pantaloons worn under coor dinated trapeze tops. .
