 TAILORED SKIRTS
fcontinued from Page one)

blOuSes, slaSh6d III IrOnI anu AoS0u' have sailor collars and cuff-like hens; they are made of white linen, crepe de Chine, wash silk and khaki cloth, the fabric of the soldiers uniforms, an attractive tan in color and with good wearing qualities.
 While the whims of fashion are not as a rule rigidly followed in the clothes for sports wear, the added width in skirts is readily accepted. To be sure, skitrs for walking, golf and tennis are not extreme, but now meas ure from two and a half to three yards around the lower edge. Such fabrics as pique, plain and in novel stripes and bars, linen crash, khaki tweed and herringbone mixtures are shown in these skirts, which are short and plain save for lap closing or patch pockets
 Hats, too, have a swagger style. Panamas appear in every conceivable shape, from slouch to stiff sailor, with knitted silk bands made like the knit ted ties the men wear. There are col lapsible hemp Straws and black felts faced in color, convenient to tuck in the corner of bag when leaving town for a weekend Broad-brimmed sail ors of a printed linen in two-toned ef- fleets and in natural linen faced with blue are also smart, while rolling brimmed sailors of grass straw in pur- pie and white, and black and white lend variety to the styles; or you may have a bonny tam-o- o-shanter loosely knitted in coarse silk jauntily tilted to one side, like the Scotchman wears on the heath
 As in other seasons, the gloves are the heavy mannish type of tan leather or white buckskin to protect the hand ? of the fair wearer, but belts are a real innovation as they appear in brilliant stripes and checks, knitted to match the bands on the hats, or in black or OOAOACQ ACdlACl WILL d ld1 buckle at the front.
 Fancy shoes have grown so com mon, it is small wonder we find a few novelties among the models for sports wear. Perhaps the most striking is a white buckskin tie with rubber sole and stripings of green or red leather which serve as trimming, as well as a stay for the flexible buckskin One house Is featuring a white buckskin shoe, the sole of white leather, treated in such a manner that it retains it's whiteness in spite of wear. These heelless ties and shoes are shown for tennis, while walking ties and shoes have heels about an inch high.
 Along with the other garments, rid ing habits are receiving considerable attention. The new trauser and leg. ging in one, laced in front or buttoned at the side, is style adopted by young girls, while older women favor the skirt for country wear, finished with a lap seam front and back with straps underneath fer cross-saddle riding Riding coats show the conventional notch collar, close body and flarine skirt, and the habits are made in whip cord, covert cloth, tweed and khaki cloth, while tan leather boots or leg glngs and ties are the approved mode Of dressing the feet The tendency in hats seems to point to the mannish sailor with a fancy band; gloves are the gauntlet and neckwear the stock usually pique or duck, in some cases embroidered with large green polka dots or gay purple fleur-de-lis, if you chance to be ally.
 It Is interesting to note the studied carelessness of the clothes of the woman who loves sports for sports sake. Two notables of New York SO clety appeared at a golf club early ir the season and I heard an idIer on the broad veranda remark as they took the bunkers that they certainly knew how to wear their clothes. The very suitability of the garments made them stylish. With her fair skin tanned 2 delicate brown, the first was a perfect picture of what a robust American gir, should be in her Norfolk coat of tar chinchilla, with blue linen skirt show ing below, sailor hat of the same ma terial, tan gloves and low-heeled ties of tan leather. The other woman 2 trtfle older, wore a white linen blouse with collar turned low, a striped piqus skirt with large patch pockets and g panama hat with a checkered band ot knitted silk that carried out the con trast of her white buckskin shoes stayed with black leather, and hel black leather belt There was nothine to hamper their freedom, not a surplus frill or button, but every detail of the costumes showed the thought that haC
