 leaves, flowers and ribbon — all of rulilicr or rubberized to stand

 green, with the rubber rose at the side in contrasting color. 

 The second model, with rosette trimtning, is of the "Castle"

 rubberized silk turban and is made in black, navy blue and pur- 

 ple, with the wired donkey ears of the same material as the cap. 

 The last of the four is an all-rubber cap. decorated with velvety 

 rubber flowers and obtainable in blue, cerise, coral and purple. 



But the manufactur- 

 ers of rubber goods 

 have not been content 

 this season to supply 

 a variety of new and 

 pleasing models in 

 bathing caps. They 

 have extended their 

 line of accessories for 

 the bathing costume to 

 include numerous other 

 a r I i c 1 es, several of 

 which are also shown. 

 The first of these cuts 

 shows an all-rubber 

 sailor collar, the edge 

 of which is decorated 

 with tiny rubber roses 

 — s o m e t h i n g that is 

 Ixnuid to add an air of 

 up-to-dateness to any 

 bathing suit. This cut 

 also shows a pair of 

 rubber buckles, a deco- 

 ration that can be ap- 

 propriately applied not 

 (mly to the belt or 

 girdle, but with perhaps 

 even greater effective- 

 ness to the bathing slip- .^,^,,, ^^.^ ^_ ^^_ ^.,_„^, ^^, ,^^. ^,^^.^,_

tofore presented rather 



a bare appearance because of the lack of a buckle that would 

 withstand the effects of frequent immersion in salt water. The 

 next figure shows a bather to whose costume has been added a 

 rubber sash or girdle, which closes under a bunch of rubber 

 flowers, the ends of the sash being in I^oman stripes in colors. 

 to niatch the plaid cap. As will be noted, this bather is alsoi 

 cquipi^cd with a cape of rubber, an accessory which has become- 

 very popular this season for wear over the bathing suit. 

 NXroaths of rubber roses are also obtainable for use in trim- 

 niins the extremely popular beach hat — and they are very 

 genuine appearing and highly decorative. In fact, the line of 

 rubber accessories for the present season has reached a degree 

 of elaborateness never before attained, and would seem to be 



cnniidcte.
