The sportswoman, in brief, Is now in
full possession.
In addition to tweeds and homespuns,
Irish friezes are popular for sporting
wear. The leading tones seem to be
brown, green and violet, an many OF
the friezes are Of deep purple tnting
The colors are never pronounced, as
dull gray and black strands are so in
terwoven that only suggestion Is

a handsome hunting gown made for
a trip to the Rocky mountains is OF
warm brown homespun, with red feck-

strip of scarlet morocco, cut In VAN
dyke points, and the capacious pockets
on each side of the skirt have a but
toned flap Of the red. The Norfolk
jacket Is belted with the same. and Is
cut V shape to show scarlet chemi-

q brown and red chou with brown
and red quill.
