NEW YORK, Feb. 3. - Behold the
Lilys of the field, the Roses of the
beach, the Daisies of the golf links,
the Violets of the tennis court, the
Irises of the motor course-they toll
not (only exercise little) neither do
they spin Except in a Rolls-Royce or
a Ford), yet Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed as one Of these.
Never have sport suits, frocks and
accessories been more bewilderingly
beautiful. The windows are full of
them already for Southern exposure at
Palm Beach and like havens, where
the fortunate fit We stand gazing
upon their glories rapt in admiration
and our heaviest furs.
Why Not Look Forward to Summer.
In slush ankle deep, while wintry
winds do blow, we can still visualize
how we will look in that glorious tur-
quoise pongee one-piece frock banded
in golden yellow this summer if we
are lucky enough to save enough pen
nies for it. There is a ducky hat with
turquoise parasol to match, whose in
ner side is mass of tiny puffings and
shirrings Of the yellow figured border.
All up-to-date 1917 model parasols are
wearing their ornate trimmings in
side, and a closed parasol is a closed
book. Only when opened does it dis
close its glories to an admiring null
titude
Unusual and Oriental are the color
combinations used to band and trim
the sport suits and one-piece frOcks,
but always are they hectic to the high
est degree.
A stunning new sport silk like
heavy pongee called Khaki Kool" is
the favored material. and it comes in
daring and unusual designs and all
the vivid colorings.
Sport Skirts Are Still Noisy.
Sport skirts Of this material are
striped in vivid colors as they were
last year, twice as colorful.
Hats, parasols, stockings. shoes.
handkerchiefs and bags are all got up
to match and carry out a complete
costume effect. Among the lovely
new silk sweaters lettuce green one,
banded, sashed, and sailor-collared in
white, is perhaps the loveliest, but
a two-toned sweater coat in checker
board pattern that comes in two
shades of blue, yellow, rose or green |
and black and white is also stunning !
novelty.
Contrasting COlors Attract
Cerise. green and gold seem to be
the most taking trio of tints for the !
one-piece straight-line sport silk dress
es. but they all have some other vivid
dash of contrasting color to startle |
and attract
Jersey cloth still continues to hold |
it's popularity over from last year into /
this for sport suits, and a new MAJ
terial called suedene is also very good.
For motor coats Of spring. suede cloth |
is the material de luxe with Innings
Of softest, brightest. silk or chiffon |
cloth. They are much shorter than |
the winter coats and so full and loose |
as almost to be mistaken for capes- at |
the first fleeting glance as'they dash |
by on up-to-date maids in up-to-date
motors.
But don't for a minute think it is |
necessary to go in for sports in order
to sport these sporty sport togs In
deed nay, and likewise never. This |
summer you will find that these de-
liciously delectable duds will be worn !
anywhere and everywhere from pink |
tea to the village green
