The modern woman may not know just where she is going but she is most earnestly on her way. She chooses to add to her natural vocation of home making, the pursuit of art or business, politics or charity. One might think she would have no time left to devote to clothing herself beautifully. But whatever the direction in which she is going-ft is not away from lovely apparel. Specialists design styles for her, she chooses with discrimination, and fashions are made.
 Above is one Of the new lingerie dresses and q hat and parasol for those who will soon be journeying South. But the dress is interesting to everyone because it is good style for dinner or evening wear anywhere and it anti cipates what is coming next summer. The skirt is made with pointed tunic that is shortened at each side, display ing five founces on the underskirt. Each lounce is edged with val lace.
 The tunic is beautifully decorated with needlework in a delicate embr0id- cry that outlines a border edged with val lace. The same decoration ap- pears on the bodice which is gathered over a plain net foundation. It has a round neck and long sleeves that ta- per to the wrist. Deep. cuffs fasten with small crochet buttons on the un-

Seroe Frocks Are Popular.

The separate frock of navy serge will not lose any of it's popularity. It is to be found mostly in princess styles or made on lines that give the shoul- der-to-hem effect. Jumper frocks of serge to be worn with separate blouses of Georgette crepe are very handsome. One buttons down the back with black bone buttons. It has a guimpe of terra cotta georgette crepe and stiff flaps extend outward over the hips, heavily embroidered with terra cotta silk. The eorselet effect is gained by pointed yokes on these serge frocks which point upward on the blouse and downward on the full circular skirt.

EAST AGAIN SUPREME
California Tennis Players Bow to
 Eastern Stars.
Fitting That Richard Norris Wil- Hams II and William M. Johnston Should Meet in Final Cham
 ponship Contest.

It looks as if the East had once more regained her supremacy in the tennis world The comets and meteors from fame on the courts have passed or are about to pass. A review of the season but recently closed, with Richard Nor ris Williams II of Philadelphia re- gaining the national title he had lost the year before to William NJ. Johnston of California, and the men from the far West being repulsed all along the line would seem to augur such thing.
 California sent it's best to do battle with the East, and when it came down to final round Johnston, the cham pion from San Francisco was pitted against Williams of Philadelphia, for mer champion, and it was fitting that these two should contest for the high est honors on the courts, for both had previously shown their right to settle the question of supremacy.
 It took five desperately fought sets before Williams was hailed as cham pion of 1916; five sets during which the Philadelphian coming from behind and

Someone who knows says that the restless American never stays in one spot longer than two hours. Now how is the lady who is liable to be snatched away at any moment, in one direction or another, going to provide herself with hats suited to al, climes? Day after tomorrow she may find herself in the Isle of Pines, or possibly she may oe watching winter sports in Canada.
 Those clever milliners who do so much thinking for the lady of fashion have seized upon the sports hat to help solve the problem. Three superb answers to the question of where withal shall we clothe our heads are shown in the picture above. They are made of materials that are worn every where and are therefore noncommittal as to climate, but they leave no room for doubt as to their indorsement of sports. They were made with an eye to the southward, but you may go where you will in any of them.

growing ever stronger, ever more con- fident, actually hammered his daunt- less opponent into submission.
 The victory was not regarded so much a triumph for Eastern play ing methods and court tactics over the Californian in this particular instance, as it might have been had Williams opponent been Maurice, Mclaughlin. Lindley Murray or another of the rip ping, tearing, net-storming men from the coast.
 The reason for this is plain, for
 Johnston himself is one of the sound est of players, both as to production of stroke and court generalship. He does not place his reliance on rushing the net at every opportunity, on tre- mendous service and vicious smashing but, rather, on combination of all that is best in lawn tennis.
 The striking fact, as brought out in the seasons big tournament play, is that the men whose game is typically Californian did not meet with any con spicuous success in their campaign on eastern courts. Mclaughlin suceumbed

 As Jim tells the story, he was to get a handicap of 10 strokes, and he took full advantage of it. He pulled through the first stroke and let the boat drift as far as it would go. Then he took the second and drifted to a standstill. By the time he had used up his handi- cap he was half a mile from the start ing line and just paddled home. He doesn't know what his opponent said, because he couldn't hear him.
