combination, worn by girl with short,
tawny locks turning up in her neck In
loose half curls. Her skull cap OF oiled
silk had a kerchief Of brown and yellow
plaid twisted about it, and with brown
blouse and yellow neck scarf she wore a
short full brown and yellow skirt and
brown stockings. There were girls in
red and white stripes and girls In white
and yellow; there were girls with bare
necks and no sleeves; there were girls in
broad bathing hats and girls in little
skull caps, but there were no girls

Amelie Rives Chanler was induced TO
play half an hour the other afternoon,
and her tennis toilet was as picturesque
as might have been expected; she is
even more beautiful than before she
went abroad, for her face wore sensl-
tiveness and expression. She wore
white flannel skirt with pink silk
blouse and the most bewitching OF rus
tic hats garlanded with pink roses. She

with a founce forming epaulets ana

There was black and white striped

There was one suit IN striped black
