Portable and appropriate the abbreviated
costume might seem; nor would a loose
and informal tennis blouse and skirt be
In good taste upon a horses back, where

Summer Riding Dress Less Formal
Than the Winter Sort.
Much latitude b allowed the horse
woman in summertime, however,; and the
tightly fitted cloth habit, stir collar and
silk hat worn at tho riding academies In
town and at the ultra conventional horse
shows are discarded in the country and
skirts Of linen crash or khaki worn, with
cool sink or linen shirtwaists finished ut
the neck with a soft stock crossed In
Ascot style. These khaki and crash nd
ing skirts come In the divided form Tor
cross saddle riding. a buttoned over-panel
in front giving the skirt the appearance
Of An ordinary walking model when the
equestrian is afoot. The riding girl wears
a sailor or a continental hat Of rough
straw, trimmed simply with conven-
tional band and fat bow. Her gloves
match her smart little boots Of soft tan
leather, and altogether her costume,
while summary and comfortable, 10 cor
rectly in keeping with q certain pre-
scr1bed conventionality.
For Tennis ana Golf. : Z
On the cool green Of the golf links and
the tennie court white costumes are al.
ways most charming, and even the very
clever tennis players, the runners-up In
cup tournaments. most often appear on:
the courts in snowy white raiment,
erisply fresh from the laundress' hands.
Such costumes usually include short,
plain-gored skirt Of linen or duck, cut
with good swing at the bottom but Mt
ting the hips neatly, and loose blouse
Of some thin material Ike nauf, china
silk or handkerchief linen, very simply
built, with turnbaek cuffs ut the elbow
and a turnover collar, leaving the neck
bare. The deliberately designed "tennis
frock" which one sees in fashion pictures
n usually tor the maiden who trips blithe-
" about the court, holding up her skirt
with one hand and batting hopefully at
the bali With her arm crooked at the
elbow.
A sweater should always form part Of
the tennis costume. for after a warmly
contested game it 10 very easy to catch
cold, and some wrap should BE- slipped
over the shoulders the minute one stops
playing. The tennis girl Also ties broad
black velvet ribbon over her bonnie
brown-or golden-hair to keep straying
locks in order, and this summers tennis
girl hes the bow Of her ribbon hllst Just
over her left ear. $'.Sf
The golnns girls costume need not b
as severely athletic AZ the tennis girls;
but it should be quite as business-nke A
touch Of bright color on the white golf
costume is charming against the green
summer background and there are cheer
full red coats trimmed with gay brass
buttons which the solnng girl wears in
stead Of a sweater. The golf skirt should
be short and tho arms and throat should
be free and comfortable, for strenuous
action 1s required Tor good game OF
golf. though most Of the game seems to
consist in strollins about. s f<8H..

and blue embroidery decorating the
