is plated below q
smooth fitting yoke
and the yoke does
away with any full
ness around the hips.
The material is white
linen trimmed with
braid. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly smart littla
costume. perfectly
adapted to tennis
and to other summer
sports and exercises.
The plaits in the
blouse and the plaits
in the skirt give tho
panel effect and the
long lines that
are always be-
coming to girlish
figures. AS a matter
OF course, colored
linen can be used in
place of the white
or piqu6 or galatea
or any preferred ma
terial or color. The
essential features Of
the costume are
found in its lines and
the novel treatment
Of the MILDLY idea.
There is a little
opening at the front
that is laced together
and a second short
opening above the
belt under the first
plat at the left of the
front which makes it
easy to draw the
blouse on over the
head. There are
new linens this sea-
son that are war
ranted not to crush
and one of these in
a pretty shade Of
blue with white
trimming would be
charming and there
are brochk linens
that are most efec-
tive and would be
very attractive this
way or eponge would
make a handsome
costume or If some
thing a little lighter
is wanted, gingham
could be used. If
something a trife
sturdier is desired,
the skirt could be
made Of serge and
the blouse only Of a
washable material
and either white or
blue serge would be
good for the pur-
pose. Tan color is
much in vogue this
season and tan used
for the skirt and
tan color also for
the blouse would
make a very pretty
costume and girls
will be quick. to
realize that there
are many other vari-
atoms to be made.
