PIRATE BEACHWEAR
Quite a sensation was caused at the opening of the Paris season by tho first showing to London, European, and American fashion experts and buyers
of brilliantly designed wool swim suits, shorts, beach trousers, and sun suits with a dashing " buccaneer " theme, designed by Jacques Heim. Hand-iknitted, wool, wool jersey, fine wool flannel, tweed, wool voile, and serge were among the light, practical materials used; two of the printed fabrics were specially designed by Heim. The Paris showing was followed by a display in London, whore the presentation was equally enthusiastically received. Each of "the 17 models is given a buccaneer name, such as Treasure Island, Yo Ho, Long John Silver, lligh Wind, and so on, and the ' Daily Mirror,' over a front page photograph of the show, placed the caption ' The Pirates Have Captured the Beaches ' — in the future sense, of course, for beaoh days were still many weeks away.
