The Youthful Sports Skirts
The new sports clothes show youth
full note, and yet embody that simplicity
which is requisite TO make gay colors
practical for everyday wear. The skirts
gathered or shirred at the waistline,
sometimes straight hanging, and some
times brought in at the ankles to give
the new barrel effect, are made of a
wide variety of materials. Tussar, ra-
jah, pongee and similar weaves are the
mainstay for the more expensive skirts
while cotton fabrics, in white with gay
squares, disc, balloon dots, and in strip
ped effects, may be had at varying
prices. Cretonne which has had such
vogue for smocks and trimmings in sea
son past is pressed into use again this
season for these same sport skirts. They
are often made cros5vise OF the goods
so that the seIvage of the cretonne is
used instead of a hem, and the other
selvage edge makes a heading around
