shoes are OF white canvas extending up
the back OF the leg halfway to the knee

this beach toilette than protection for
the coiffure, Is Of navy blue waterproof

material IN white.
When Driving Her Own Car.
The girl who drives her own auto car
should be as scnsibly and well and smart.
" dressed as her brother driver. Though
utility is the arst consideration In her
auto garments 1t need not, of necessity,
eliminate the element of fashion. The
most practical. and withal the most fash.

On tho Tennis Court.
One of the snartest jumper models IN
wash fabrics this season Is this tennis
dress of Alice blue linen. 1t is In very
truth n jumper, for the waist portion Is
slipped OH over the head and drawn In
about the waist with a tape run through
n narrow casing The cutout neck and

footwear for the tennis court, but like
