MUST BE A LOT I BE MONEY IN MORE fl THIS JUNIOR AS WE GET I COMMANDO BETTER I ^BUSINESS- KNOWN-l New Splash Suits Help Supply D ress' And Street Outfits By MARGUERITE YOUNG NEA Service Staff Writer NEW YORK, June 23.—Outstand ing new trend in the 1942 swimming outfits are two-piece and three-piece convertibles—at least one part of which can mingle with part of a street or even a dancing ensemble for war-time savoir faire. Bathing robes, for instance, are going into total eclipse. Instead, the mode calls for a white or yellow tailored shortie jacket, or little cape, or even just a bolero — one that not only completes a dry-clad costume or two, but does it with decided color flair. BLACK AND WHITE ARE NEW RAGE Black and white have succeeded yellow as the season’s most favored beach color theme. An outstanding example is a sophisticated black bra and-shorts swim suit of rayon faille with a special quick-drying finish, worn under a simple white swagger coatee. The short-sleeved, mid-t high length wrap, rayon too, wrnuld not only go with Madame’s black dinner dress, or with her white shirts and black or other solid color skirts— it would make, with those complete, high-style costumes. Another advantage of this less casual beach costume: in it, the wearer feels rightly dressed for sun ning on her own roof or in her own back yard — something which, stores report, many smart women mention W’hen they shop this year. The demand for flexibility brings to the beach some surprising and very-different materials — such as rayon suitings, silk pongee, and chintz. A red sharkskin dressmaker suit, with buttons down front, has a matching bolero. That’s the beach costume, complete. The bolero, soft ly tailored, would be a real compli ment to a shirt-and-dirndl, or a lime shirtmaker dress which Madame has for morning in town. DOUBLE-DUTY BOLERO ARRIVES An interesting step further in the trend is a fine all-over printed cot ton suit with reversible bolero and separate skirt of the same -.material. The print bolero and skirt, with white, and again with solid color skirt, form a street suit, and if its owner happens to possess a dark cotton suit, she can substitute for that jacket, this beach bilero—mak ing still another interesting and in dividual ensemble. Silhoutte news of the season is: the briefer, the better. The reason is women have an insatiable war time appetite for the harder-to-get suntan. More health-conscious, they want to get sun on just as much of their surface as possible, while sunning. Most popular style among slim-enough smart ones is the matched very-least-possible bra and very short trunks. Which intro duces the sarong suit with just a wdsp of a wrapped skirt. This is done strikingly in cotton prints w-ith designs suggesting tropical islands. For figures which are most flat tered when minimized, there are smart new princess-line dressmaker suits with ingenious fresh details. One handsome example is white sharkskin — flip, flaring skirt moulded hips, w-aist and bosom, camisole straps. Where straps are joined to the bodice, in front, pad ded glazed-chintz roses are appliquec in relief. Brigance uses another sun-countr> color, purple, for a linen suit with not-so-tiny bra and flared skirt both banded with white eyelet pique Clarepotter’s draped-bosom bra suii has a two-ruffles skirt — red check ed gingham.

Rich Washing Action Instead of Harsh Bleaching Every ounce of New Oxydol is much richer in washing power than before. Its active, bustling “Hustle-Bubble” suds dissolve dirt —draw it out the gentle, safe way. With its rich, lively washing action, your clothes come so clean you will hardly believe you haven’t used a bleach. Except for stains or unusual pieces, of course, you get a wash that’s radiantly white—and without the risk of harsh bleaches. Lively Sudsing Saves Harmful Rubbing New "Hustle-Bubble” suds work much harder than before. Every ounce gets out more dirt. You never have more than a few quick rubs here and there. Not that hard rubbing that wears things thin and thread bare so quickly. With all this new richness in washing power; the New Oxydol is safety itself for washable colors. Even milder than before on hands. So safe you can use it for dainty washable ray ons. So imagine how kind New OXYDOL is to the rest of your wash! U.S. GOVERNMENT SAYS SO: Discuss ing use of chlorine bleaches, a bulletin from the Con sumer Division of OPA states in part: “Bleaching has never been a good substitute for washing . . . using too much... in an effort to get clothes snowy-white has done much damage to fabrics . . . learn to depend on good washing and sunshine as a whitener .. . clothes will no doubt last much longer.' jr ■ j JUST imagine! Now you can actually help remove corns while you walk! First, the soft felt pad lifts off pres sure. Then the Blue-Jay medication gently loosens the com so that in a few days it may easily be removed. Blue-Jay costs very little—only a few cents to treat each corn—at all drug and toilet goods counters.
