Gowns for the athletic girl have not
changed much In their lines this summer.
ard even the materials in which they are
developed vary but slightly from the cd or
der Of things 1t is in headgear, though, that
the differences are most noticeable, for the
sunbonnet is going to be very popular with
the girl who COLTS or plays tennis. Com
pleting a costume of flannel or a cotton
blouse aud skirt the result VIII be piquant,
but worn with a sweater a bizarre note Is at
once struck. Speaking of sweaters, 1t Is pos
sible nowadays to get wooden jacket that
is quite as natty looking as a tailored coat.

there Is a revival of the striped ribbon like
the weave seen on the conventional sailor
hat. To come back 10 the outdoor girl, the

New Name for Grenadine.
For dressy wear and especially for day
fractions of all kinds nothing is more fash
ionable this season than the silken fabrics
which are displayed in such profusion In all
the shops and importing establishments.
Particularly sought after are the soft,
clingng silks. the mousselines, the liber-
ties and the novelty foulards For COM
paratIvely new material marqulsette has
perhaps made as great name for itself as
any other. and this season 1t will be one of
the most popular materials for all kinds OF
dressy frocks. Our grandmothers would
probably have called 1t 'grenadine," but We
find many old and well-tried favorites dis
porting under new names and thus claim
ing attention as novelties. Marquisette
adapts itself Charmingly to all kinds or
trimming schemes. whether elaborate or
plain. and is perhaps at its best when dec

The Short Skirt.
In sp'.e of the fact that skirts were pre-

that boldly display the shoe tops. The Eng

made for fashionable walking during the
London season that short and so full
that they swing clear of the ankles, frank
ly displaying a very handsome pair of shoe
tops
Pulled Shoulders.
AL the short waists show the shoulder
puns. Inc sleeves, instead of being drawn
down closely and tightly at the shoulders,
are puffed out. and in many cases the puffs
are so large that one is reminded of the
pulled sleeves of several years ago.
Black Velvet and Lingerie.
Little velvet trimmings playing a
most important part in the dressing up of
the gowns A certain young woman
who is the owner of handsome white lin
gerie dress is making 1t very different in
appearance by adding some folds of burnt
orange velvet no more than half an inch in
width and even narrower.
Sensible Blouses.
IN any contest for shortsightedness,
shirt waist manufacturers certainly ought
