OLYMPIC ATHLETES WILL
HAVE TO BE AMBIDEXTR0US

Competitors In Shot, Jsvelin and Dis
Gus Events at Stockholm Must Use
Both Hands.
It's about time that every weight
thrower who expects 20 compete in the
Olympic games at Stockholm IN 1912 got
busy with his lett hand, for the Swed-
ish authorities who are arranging the
program OF events have decided that
competitors in the shot, jsvelin and
discus will have TO perform with both
hands
First they will throw with the hight.
That's the side on which most athletes
naturally work. and then they VIII have
to try their best with the port wings"
and an average will be struck OF.
Why doesn't the committee demand
that men run the hurdles backward,
high Jump facing away from the bar
and walk sidewise? These methods
would surely prove as sensible as
throwing the discus with the left hand.
II is well known in the athletic world
that the Swedes and the Germans are
greatly given to gymnastics and aero
bate work. They train one side OF the
body TO do just the same amount or
work as the other is required TO co.
They do not specialize, and that's the
reason we are so far ahead OF them In
all athletic branches.

and daring, but some Of the more audacious
colorings when successfully handled turn
out extraordinarily well and have a refine
ment despite their unusualness or their
striking tones. There are, for instance,
models in the vivid Toscape shades, the
glowing orange hues which border on what
were once called tangerine colorings. These
colorings are not for every one, and the
same is true OF the ripe yellow pinks or
pink yellows which are ranked under the
head OF eglantine; but both these colors
are In themselves very beautiful and there
are exquisite models of these shadings
which while brilliant are not loud nor
violent.
one Callot model sketched for the large
cut was OF chiffon in a wonderful ripe tone
which probably came on the eglantine list.
The chiffon was embroidered in self-color
and softened by being made up over creamy
white chiffon being held In loosely toward
the bottom by a wide band OF fine cream
lace. The eglantine tunic was draped quite
high at the sides, leaving much Of the white
underskirt In evidence.
A collarless guimpe was Of the cream lace
and through the plain chiffon drapery OF
the bodice showed a wide band OF en-
broideTy worked In eglantine upon the
cream foundation. This same model was
brought over by another importer In a
delicate natter blue and we have seen Il
too IN a light tone OF cyclamen.
These cyclamen shades with their blush

very much liked and the artists combine
them successfully with certain blues. bu,
an unerring color sense is needed in order
TO insure perfect harmony in such a union.
The second model Of the large group was
one OF the genuine successes In this line a

der blue, the whole suggesting certain

Going back once more to the matter of
the beautiful vivid colorings mention
should be made of the chiffon model in
color and made over black satin. which
figures in one OF the small cuts. A refer
ence was made to this model last week,
but no sketch was given then and one

colorings a one-tone scheme is main

chiffon being made up over self-color or

Women nave not put aside black with
the coming of spring days and springtime
colorings and a rather surprising number
Of black street costumes are to be noted
wherever fashionable folk congregate.
Many Of these costumes are in soft satiny
black silk and chiffon, silk and etamine,
silk and cashmere or serge, or all silk,
and they usually take the form of trot-
ting frock and coat, the coat being entirely
Of the silk, while the frock is largely Of
the other material trimmed with the silk.
Often. the frock skirt is Of silk up to the
point where 1t meets the coat.
Some exceedingly good-looklng tailored
models are in "a black raw silk, which
probably bears the name of some kind Of
pongse, and oddly enough several of the
smartest models OF this type seen recently
have been trimmed in a black silk Of high
luster or satin. One model from Francis
which was particularly trig and knowing
looking was Of the black raw silk, with
pipings Of black satin and had a curious

explain this state OF affairs. He shrugged

These linens come in several effects. copy

houses have exclusive weaves IN these lin

Apropos Of things homespun Il may be

sells as high as S. and 81 a yard.
Black and white woollens, particularly
Of the always popular check designs, bid
fair to rival dark blue serge as a summer

the samples was quite out Of tho question.
These pieces Of material, arrauged neatly
in large books had been made up from the
exclusive materials of the greatest Partisan
dressmaking houses. A New York inn

Such lovely things of all weights, all

There was a narrow band of dull gold

One sees less soutache embroidery than
last season, yet it appears effectively on
many of the most successful models.
Tavernier has a frock which has been
copied frequently and with various modi-
fications. In one version It is Of white
crepe, a simple bodice and skirt, the latter
trimmed in a deep flounce of Vslenciennes
lace inset with Venetian motifs, This
flounce is weighted down by a wide border
Of antique" printed cotton-one might de-
scribe it as a cretonne of quaint design
and gay coloring-which almost loses its
identity by having its design outlined by
fine white soutache.
The soutache not only outlines the de-
sign, but is massed in scroll design here
and there over the surface. Al first glance
It is almost impossible to tell just how
the effect is produced. One incllnes to-
