MIDDLE AGED WoMEN's DRESS.
It's Limitations if It Is To Be Kept Within
the Pale of Quiet Elegance

There is a limit. you know" said a middle aged
woman. whose milliner had been urging her to buy
a large, fiat hat shelving out in front. It's all
very well to say that there are old
nowadays and that we can all dress alike at any
age, but it's matter In which good taste and
common sense must set a check upon fashion"
But you look young" said her friend.
Thank you my dear! But If that statement has
any foundation in fact. apart from your favorable
view, it is simply because I don't pretend to be
young. If dressed ike young girl. should look

for young and old but there are subtle modi-

We'll, have little more freedom from
the tyranny of styles for example, We needn't

For instance big picture hats fat hats without

avoid bright, delicate colors in large masses, using
them only in small quantities to relieve all black

man who would not be eligible, physically
at least, for a position on any team Of
gridiron heavyweights.
Basket ball is peculiarly a game of suffer-
ance, of ignoring and of overlooking.
Rules provided to govern the play are
rigid indeed and If strictly lived up to
would come near making a tea party of
any game. 1t is different from other sports
in that there is no exact dividing line and
also in that violations Of rules are often
almost impossible of detection and are
still oftener difficult to decide upon. There
Is a certain chivalry and generosity brought
out in this game, both on the part OF
players and officials, that permits of many
little infractions of the exact spirit OF
the rules going unheeded. Oftentimes
amusing situations develop from this pecu-
liar relationship existing between the play
ers and the regulations. For example, a
rule says that one player shall not lay
hands on another. On one occasion, during
an intercollegiate game which took place
in the armory gymnasium of the University
Of Nebraska, clever capital was made OF
this fact by a humorist disguised as an
athlete. There was a very fierce scrim-
mage about one of the goals and when 1t
was finally dissolved one player, famed in
Nebraska athletic traditions as 'Spook"
Spooner, was found to be practically devoid
of his jersey shirt. 1t had parted in the
side seams and fallen down in front and
behind like an apron. Though he was
bare to the waist, "Spook" ran back to his
position as right forward and waited calmly
for the whistle. OF course the attention of
both spectators and players was entirely
drawn from the ball to him, but he APP
peared perfectly oblivious Of it all and of
his state Of undress as we'll. Finally the
referee gasped for breath and said:
Mr.. s%pOoner, your shirt was torn OF in
that last scrimmage."
why, that cannot be-" said Spooner.
for the rules say they cannot touch me
or take hold Of my Clothes"
That a game which can demand and make
good use OF so much virile strength and
athletic ability may still be adaptable to
women and girls and boys might seem
strange, yet the nature Of the sport makes
this possible. AS in other games, not
all teams nor all players need be cham
pions, and there are grades and classes Of
them. Basket ball is distinctly a ball
passing game. You are not allowed to
carry the ball; you are not allowed to
hold IL; you may only throw II. Now, any
one can learn to do that with agility and

- incipiency to a place among the
leading sports of the land. Only a
few years ago this game was making its
first timid advance into the range of vision
OF amateur athletes, Now thousands of
these the country over are devoted to the
sport, and during its own season II holds
a supremacy as unQuestioned as that Of
foot ball or base ball in their own times.
The one big secret of the immediate sue
cess and popularity of this game is that
IL solved the great problem. a competitive
sport for the odd season. For the fall
there is always foot ball, for the spring
base ball, and tennis and golf share up
both seasons. But for midwlnter there was
nothing till basket ball came. For those
chill months beginning with thanksgiving
day and ending In April there was no sport
that contained sufficient OF the siements
Of skill and speed and agility and of the
spirit OF competition to make II a general
success. Basket ball proved to be just this
game. II was not TO be expected that ath-
letes who spent all spring and summer and
fall In strenuous pastimes would be willing
to relax into a winter tOrpor and hibernate,
as 1t were. in their own languor till the
opening of the outdoor season again. They
demanded a vigorous. fast indoor game, and
basket ball furnished what they wished.

men, those proficient in other stirring
games. who created the demand for basket
ball. nor can IL be doubted hat they were
the ones who took II up first and paved
its way to a lasting success.
This game is just as strenuous in its
way as the ~gridiron contest, and 1t is in
hnitely faster from its nature and its loca-
ton. The biggest and strongest Of them
can use every pound they have in following
the hashlike sinuosities Of the basket sport.
II is no game for human wisps. To be
paradoxical, a frail man cannot play H..
nor can a man play Il and remain frail.
Neither tennis nor golf require any special
degree OF bodily development. though SUI
periority In either is hard to attain with
out such a physical backing. But basket
ball does demand some body for any high
degree Of proficiency, not SO much as foot
ball. perhaps. but more even than base
ball. Yet the game is essentially one OF
skill more than strength. The dement's Of
bodily contact or man-to-man strife are
not supposed to enter into IL. nor do they

So II is easy to understand how a man

'sThe foul strike is in the rules which

the measure, so what can the Ameri-

not be enough to repeal 1t.
'sIt has been declared that they will
drop it even if the consent of the Ma

attempt this it would be a direct and

III Denver. 1t is plain from Mr.. Te-
beau's talk that he regards the Western
league as "a dead one'' and although
he did not openly say SO, it is well
known that he stopped here for the sole
purpose OF sizing up the baseball situa-
ton and offering Omaha a chance to
get into the American association. He
admitted that he would like to have
Omaha come in and said that he would
do everything within his power to
bring about her admission if he were
given any encouragement to do so.
