For Play

For Play.

Dress-Shorts and accompanying long coat (as long-as the shorts). Coat has revers and wide front bands in contrast.

Four-piece play suit—brassiere, jacket, shorts and skirt.

Shorts and sun-top. Strip of your skin showing at the waist looks almost like a belt.

Play suit with matching skirt, front buttoning.

Brief and very young romper suit in terry towelling. One model is boned and strapless.

Fish-net scarf to hold those straying curls. (Fish-net also, with jewelled comb, for an evening occasion).

Tailored slacks and coat for that well-groomed look.

Dungarees, with gay blouse and head 'kerchief, for serious work or play.

White linen for tennis. Trim and workmanlike blouse and shorts, with overskirt, or short frock (much shorter this season).

Swim suits in a variety of materials, but fancy weaves in wool still most popular with the serious swimmer. Colour contrasts in girdles, straps, appliques. Satin lastex, taffeta with edge frilling, gingham, any unexpected material, for lounging near the sea's edge.

Play shoes in paint-box colours, with toes or heels, sometimes both, showing through. Notice high fronts, side fastenings, thong lacings, ankle straps, platforms and wedge heels in contrast colours, linen mesh and rope soles for coolness.

Hats are straw pan-cakes, ribbon tied, or 'kerchiefs.
