thrown carelessly over them, and they
wore thin little slippers on their white
stockingcd feet. They hung their heads In
a way to suggest dislocated neck, and
"bridled up" when offended. II those
sweet Aramintas could be placed beside
our live, active, healthy and fearless girls
of today, what contrast they would
make and not at all to the advantage OF
the truly feminine crsaturel Those frail
and ethereal creatures would have thought
themselves forever lost II Obliged to put on
the costume of the splendid woman of to-

Yet our girls are neither lost nor In danger

fear that they would even have looked
askance at the pretty tennis suits. The
world moves If the sun does not, and IL
girl wants to win she must jump, run,
throw and tumble, but who shall say that
she is not a better woman morsly because
she is better physically than her grand
mothersS Anyhow 1t is comforting to
think so Perhaps these are not very sage
reflections, but they throng In ones mind

As the seasons roll around, the stores
produce the garments suited for the mo-
ment. Now the tennis suits are brought
! forward in great variety, and, II one may
| say It, beauty too There are no more hid

sailor tie finished 1t off at the bust. Their
were an inset and collar Of white tricot ant
a"Tam" of white tricot. Each young lady
however, may choose the headwear mos

A few ladies like to have something
about their outing suits to show beyon
the possibility Of doubt what they are for
and therefore some sailor suits and som
tennis outfits are embroidered with fou
anchors or rackets and balls. There ar
also few pieces of light woolens and lir
