TINS undying epigram: There's no
age in the kingdom of sport, my lad"
At that time the gentler sex was as lit
tie concerned with sports as it is today
with prize fighting; but modern
woman has taken the cpigram of the
fine old sportsman Of that long gone
generation as her particular slogan.
Maid, matron and dowa ger, they all
look alike in the kingdom of sport
this enchanting kingdom of sport in
which all ages may meet on plane of
fetchingly youthful raiment.
Daughter, mother and grandmother
may all wear the same sort of sport
hat, the same short sport skirt and
rubbcr-soled sport shoes, the same
bright colored silk sport coat, the self
same golhng rig or boating rig. The
only distinction is made in the sport
blouse. Here, at least, years must
be conceded to; the young girls MILDLY
with open meek and loose lines would
be too cruel TO n middlc-aged face and
figure. So the older woman, with her
natty sport costume in grass green,
orange or any other gay hue she
fancies. wears sheer, becoming

also, very senslbly drapes her smart,
severe sport sailor with a floating veil

have turned gray.
The daintier type of sport shoe, of

kid, is DELIGHTFULLY."- easy on the foot,
while some OF the sturdier styles, of
canvas or buckskin, with much stitch

trying on the feet until the newness
has worn off. There are, however,
very pliable, comfortable sport shoes
or glove-soft kid with rubber sole and
heel. If one is willing to pay a good
price for such luxurious sport foot
wear. There are laced shoes and OK
lords of snowy white washable kid
which can be kept clean with a damp
oned sponge, and delectablo styles with
colored glazed kid strappings and
trim mings on white kid. very fash

may also have white and green, white
and blue and white and black sport
shoes. 70 match various costumes.
Velvet in the Sport Kingdom.
Tho arrival OF velvet In sportland,
about June first, was rather a surprise
TO everybody-except OF course the
manufacturers, to whose prophetic
vision are revealed sartorial secrets
so long ahead that they must always
feel somehow that they are living In
the future. First arrived the velvet
banded hats, then hats with velvet
tam crowns; followed velvet sport
coats-taunty little Jackets cut open
at the front and lined with colored
silk, and handsome hip-length coats
OF bcocaded panre velvet IN lovely
shades OF pale pink, mauve and Nat
tier blue. A coat Of this type, with
hellotrope and rose flowers scattered
over a pale blue ground was noted at
a fashionable country club In West
chester last Saturday. The coat had
soft, loose lines. confined under a
broad belt OF the material. Big patch
pockets were faced at the top with
whito silk and the cuffs and wide sailor
collar were OF white silk also, The
coat accompanied a sport frock OF
white washable satin, made very SIM
