When sports clothes made their APP
pearance up-to-date women came and
saw and were conquered by them.
They are not classed among the fads
of season now but acknowledged as
new departure that promises to be-
come a permanent institution. They
have added lot of color and vivacity
to the apparel Of women, and have in
fiuenced styles in other lines. AL
ready specialists in designing them
have demonstrated that their charac-
ter and style lie In lines and in ma
terials as much as In color.
A separate skirt in handsome
plaid, shown in the picture, Is not
classed among sports skirts, although
1t might be. But 1t reflects the style
of the sports skirt. 1t is made ankle
length with bias edges of the goods
joined In a seam down the back and
the front. Pipings and parallel rows
of most workmanlike machine stitch
ing places 1t In the class that Is dis
tinguished by fine tailoring--and there
is nothing better.
The saddle-bag pockets, introduced
early In the season, proved an inspira-
ton for several pocket effects which

Skirts of this kind are worn with
plain waists of crepe de chine or of
cotton materials. The combination of
plaid skirt and plain colored coat, to
match the dominant color of the skirt,
is among the best of the new show
