FOR THE TENNIS COURT.
! In planning ter tennis suit the summer
| grl also needs 10 be Sparng in fuTbeiowS.
With all outdoor sports the rage there
| has been Tremendous revival Of interest
| in tennis. and the new costumes for this
! sport show admirable reforms.
Skirts are made no longer than ankle
| length. and The despised hloome RS, in
! white, black or ccru pOngee-or perhaps
/ wash-sIlk OF summer flannei-have entirely
taken the place of peLticoats.
TIE bodice portion of the suit is either
| i'll tie shape Of a loose coat held into the
! waist at tie back with a narrow leather
| belt, or else an easy blouse that admits
! of even more freedom. Then if the tennis
| girl wants TO be fixy 4 all. she can take
il out on a simply trimmed sailor hat
| instead OF the plain Sor; eXacted for yacht
| ing.
AS to tennis materials, the bourette-
striped ana figured llannclS are perhaps
he most suitable and effective. A white
flannel patterned all over with red and
blue tennis symbols may also be had by
the yard, and with this a big collar and
bands in plain color are pleasing re!ief.
Some of the tennis skirts are provided
/ with a sort of ovcrsklrt drapery which
loops up into a long pocket for holding
the balls. Others have tie bail pocket at
the ends Of long broad sash which may
be made OF a bright soft silk. aud finished
with fluffy bunch at tic gathered ends.
Tennis gloves are of was leather as
are also these most III favor for yacht
ing.
The rubber-sOled canvas shoes, how
ever, are no longer seen only in white.
There are some smart red and blue ones
that are very dashing, and certain shades
OF ecru and brown, with yellow leather
bands will he found most useful.
Colored stockings will be in high favor.
but those for a figured dress should be
only in a solid tint.
But if an inexpensive receipt for Il ten
mis- get-up is wanted here is the best one
| i'll the world:
To a short skirt of dark blue serge add
dainty shirt waist in pale pink or apple
green cotton, with stiff collar and cuffs
| OF the same. Mix with this Panama sailor
hat with Il band of white satin ribbon and
bunch Of green and white clover blooms al
the left. Finally season with white
wash leather gloves dark blue canvas
shoes and blue stockings, and count up
the result. Fifteen dollars would cover
the whole thing.
| have the ADDED JOY OF knowing that she
was ready al any moment for her beloved
wheel. Mn A FITCH.
