NEGLIGEE SHIRTS POPURAR WITH WOMEN

- MARTEST of the seasons man
nisn shirts for women are those
of silk and flannel in vogue for
tennis Made in a most comfort
able style with loose. open neck and half
sleeves. they form one Of the most
practical of the seasons models and
are universally becoming. Made up in
any one OF several seasonable mater
iGls. they are in demand among the
younger set Of women particularly.
These shirts are only one exhibition Of
the tendency 10 get away from the more
fussy shirt waists and get back to the
simpler and more masculine style form
erly in vogue when the shirt waist first
came into fashion. Lingerie waists are
nanifestIy unsuitable for the strenuous
action required in playing either tennis
or golf and the new shirts have come
in in response TO the need for a COM
Portable and at the same time becoming
garment
One of the nattiest waists of this type
is maCe from black and white checked
silk. with a soft Byronic collar Of black
and cuffs of the same material. Polka
dots have also come 20 the fore again
this season. and are particularly stylish
for these waists.
Another pretty design recently seen IN
the shops is made OF white flannel
striped with black, with a pocket al the
left side and a yoke at the back. There
are cuffs for links and the collar is
made detachable. A pretty soft silk tie
is worn with this garment In white
linen there are ever so many pretty
styles. all made up after the same
model. some with detachable linen coli
lars and with cuffs for links or the half
sleeve which is most deserv IDLY popu-
lar this summer for waists OF this sort
