for Sports and the Outdoors

Ayer principle. A successful French
model sueyested an IDEA upon which
numerous variations have been played.

merged into pink across the back.
When the skirt 10 not entirely Of
tube there are countless methods 81
introducing II. In the iounced skirts
there may be hounces Of tulle bordered
deeply by scalloped or pointed or
straight bands Of silk. or fiounces Of
silk alternating with founces Of tulle,
or nounces Of silk bordered by rufles
Of tulle bound in silk. The silk over
sA1rt may be draped or lifted or opened
to show . petticoat Of tulle. oh. there's
no end to the possibilities.
And then, even where the bodice 10
Of silk. there are the draperies and the
sleeves OF tulle.
Other sheer materials are used more
or less in the same ways. but none

modish fullness without any hint OF
clumsiness and bulk.

Above, a layer OF tulle covers the
shoulders and forms the tiny sleeves.
Lines Of wee roses run over the shoul-
ders. The skirt is formed Of W far

the lower one Of tulle. and each seal
Hoped deeply on tho edge and bordercd

With taffeta-
Across the hips, starting from under
the sharp bodice points of front and
back. run two narrow full rufies Of
the tulie, laring out over the hip
curve.
Only . slender figure could wisely
dAre these little hip frills, but by
emitting them the frock could b
adopted to even . reasonably plump
figure.
There's no denying that the YUM
yner modes as q whole arc very try
ing to the woman who Is not slender.
Many q fat woman abused the vogue
Of the narrow skirts and straight
frocks. and consequently looked like
. fright in them: but handed wisely

models whose shdrts. while full
enough for modishness, hnve slop-

whose bodices stTll retain the long
straight or surplice lines. Some Of
tho full oversktrt and narrower under
skirt models will be becoming to her.

straight backs unbroken in nne at
