For the bowler, a sports en semble is just the thing. Thanks to modern tailoring, shirts and slacks alike are loose fitting. They are designed with that gen erous spacing of line which gives arms and legs the full freedom that bowling demands... - i i- jl. A Glimpse Into the Future: Men's wear stores in the winter resorts these days offer an idea of what the rest of us will wear at the beaches next summer. Expecta tions are that swim suit colors will be brighter than ever. The1 new swim trunks, made of Crown Tested rayon and elastic yarn, are particularly attractive. On the beaches of Florida and California, winter vacationists are wearing swim suits in colors that would have been considered hopelessly extreme a few seasons ago. Bold shades are favored but only in harmonious combinations . .' . most important, these nw colors resist the rigors of s :n t salt water. fc More Comfortable Pajamas: Man BETHEL CLUB MEETS The Bethel Home Demonstration Club met with Mrs. S.

These firms now are mak ing pajama sets out of a single width of fabric, thus eliminating the very objectionable cordlike center seam which binds and cuts the wearer. This new style has not yet been generally adopted by the trade ... here's hoping it will be. It means added sitting and sleeping comfort.
