DAZZLING BATHING SUITS.

Never again will the beaches of Britain bo called drab, ; for this year's bathers avo preparing to descend on the resorts in swimming suits as brilliant and varied as tropical flowers. The black bathing-suit no longer dares to show its sober self fn the great stores; instead, there is a multi-coloured display of intoxicating patterns—bine stripes and scarlet stars, golden suns rising on green horizons, glowing flowers and exotic birds —such exuberances as Bi'itish shores would have blushed to own last year, stales' a London writer. One house shows suits of celestial blue, with white ridges of foam yellow sand, bathers and tents depicted oil them, so that it will bo diflicult to tell where landscape loaves off and bather begins. _ Rubber "jewellery" for sea wear is also being featured in the West End supple stems liko rainbow seaweed plaited, into necklaces, bracelets and earrings of painted cork beads. The great featuro of the bcacn tins yeai, however, will be stripes. Straight, wavy, wide, narrow, circulai, diagonal, and in every direction at once, tlioy shine like tho kaleidoscope. 'J ho larger tho swimming suit tho bolder tho stnpc, so tho fat will come into their glory
