What Modish Girls and Men Wear
mt Archery and Tennis
The fact that blessings brighten as
they take their flight seems to be spec
tally borne in upon the devoteos OF
archery and tennis as the season wanes.
and the courts and grounds at the sub
urban resorts are now being patron
lied more extensively than they were
during the warmer summer weather.
THESE healthy outdoor sports have
taken strong hold upon the affections
Of the youths and maidens of America,
but fashion hath stronger hold yet,
and while there are Philistines who
will persist in shooting arrows and
tossing balls i'm any sort OF loose gar.
ments that happen to como most con-
venient, to be thoroughly en re0Le the
Inan or woman who shoots an arrow
In the air to have it fall he knows not
where must be arrayed in garments as
Rrtist'cally gorgeous and correctly
gotten up as are those for ball oil
promenade.
This is costume that was worn by
n well-knOwn belle at Devon who hits
the bull's-eye oftener than she misses
1t. A skirt of white woollcn mater al
was bordered by four-lnch braid of
n russell tint. A narrower braid out
lined the draperies and the bodice. the
latter being cut ava to reveal a full
vest of white India silk. A large white
hat was trimmed with loopings Of
copper or russet-tnted ribbon, while
gloves and shoes matched the trim
ming. Another still more aristocratio
costume consisted of cream white
canvas cloth, striped with alternate
lines of rich brown and gold color
The draperieS were caught bv floating
ends of gold. cOlored ribbons, while tho
gold-colored Tx blouse shocked to
the shoulders fell over belt of brown
leather, in which was carelessly thrust
loose bunch of back-eyed Susans,
the rich brown centres and deep yell
low petals of which matched exactly
the colOrs of the costume. A large
hat of fine brown braid was faced with
velvet of the same shade and was
caught up on one side by a cluster of
flowers like those ut the belt Brown
morocco shoes, showing a CLINT of
gold through them, matched the cos
tune.
The men are not one whit behind
the girls i'm gorgeousness Of costumes
at their sports. and if an East Indies
rajah should suddenly find him
self on the archery grounds at Lenox.
he might fancy he was attending a
family reunion. so natural would APP
pear to him the broad sashes of Grim
son silk wound around tho waists of
the men. and fall ng with tasselled
ends upon their white flannel trousers.
Striped skirts of silk. and loose coats
of white flannel. complete this jauntv
outfit. The broad sash is not unbe-
coming to 1.-the. well shaped men. but
occasionally an individual with @s-
thetic leanings and tendency to en-
borpoinL gets a sash on. and the result
iS-well. to put in mildy-funnv.
The rage for light. colored shoes still
continues. ANY color from deep russell
to q light yellow is worn. All the
large dealers sell them, and so long. as
fashion says wear them, they will
probably b. worn. in spite of the fact
that they make the foot appear very
much larger than the old-fashioned
black snoe. Perhaps it is owing to
this that thew are left almost exclu
sively TO the young girls, and still
youthful matrons while elderly NAM
mas, in whom the increase of adipose
matter calls for oontractions and con-
cealments of all sorts, still cling to
their French kid boots and black
satin mules.
