 Gingham Sport Shirts for Outing Maids

is the most difficult sort of raiment to manufacture at home where it is all most impossible to achieve the clever cut, dash and sturdiness which in com bination produce good looking sport garb. Aa
 Semi-Made Sport Skirts A
 Convenience.
 Most of the shops now carry semi made sport skirts which are of untold value toewomen who would dress well and correctly on moderate expendi- ture. The semi-made skirt comes all ready to be worn except for sewing up one seam and adjusting the belt and hem. One may have a pleated skirt or a gored skirt with smart, big pockets. The belt is stitched and fin- ished, the pockets are in place. Some times the back seam < is left open: som etimes it is a seam at one side, and the hem is usually pasted. If the skirt is right in length, all one has to do is to stitch it through the bast- ings; and it is a very simple matter to deepen the hem little if the skirt is too long. Very seldom is such a skirt too short, for generous propor- tions are allowed. These skirts conn in good materials and have a much smarter appearance as a rule than a

ner gowns during the informal sum- mer season in town, they should prove just the thing. A smart model of gray-blue bolivia cloth with lining of red and white striped taffeta, falls in nipples at the back from neck to knee. There are exaggerated slashes from shoulder to. hip for the arms to pass through and the front of the cape is held in to the figure by knotted sash that goes around the waist, over the fronts, but understhe ripple back. The slashes are outlined by small tailor buttons set close together and through the slash one glimpses the gay, striped silk lining. This cape has. wide. convertible collar and turned back revers that reach to the waistline.

The tennis girl wears a cool, light skirt of striped linen and small hat with shady brim. Nobody who plays tennis seriously ever wears a broad brimmed hat which has to be thought of when running against the wind; but the small hat must have a brim that shades the eyes from a. strong sun. With this tennis costume is worn one of the new gingham sport shirts E-fashion's latest whim. The red and white gingham model pictured has collar and cuffs faced with white linen and the pocket slashes are piped with white linen. The striped linen skirt is blue and white, Sd. you see this tennis maid is very patriotic. has blue ribbons and dangling red cherries.
 Patriotism In Swimming Suits. Red, white and blue bathing Ewits are in high favor and the scolors are arranged in various effective. ways. The practicA swimming costume pic tured is of blue knitted wool jersey. with border trimming in white and red. The cap is made of red silk, the safest sort of headcovering for swimmer, TOT the req cap can be seen a long distance from shore-or from l a yacht, if the swimmer has dived overheard for a deep-water bath. A real Miss Liberty bathing suit was dis played in a.. window on Thirty Fourth street last week, The skirt was vof red and white striped silk and a draped tunic of dark blue silk was embroidered with white stars. The hat had a brim of blue rubber and a crown of red and white rubber: with trimming band of blue rubber with appl1qued stars of white.

the Nimrod suggestion. Khaki will answer for a July vacation up in the
 Maine or Adirondack wilderness, but
 costume of wool will be required for August or September, and by all
 means provide a wool suit if the va cation is to be spent in the Canadian
 woods. A khaki skirt may be carried
 along and donned on bright days; but
 the wool skirt and coat will be found
 very comfortable in the long run. Pic
 tured is an admirable gunning costume
 of checked worsted in brown mixture,
 with trimming of 1eather-treated
 fabric in the brown tone. Note the
 introduction of leatherized fabric over the shoulders and on the collar

THE FIRST STAR-SPANGLED HAMMER

T is agreeable to every good Amer
 ican to remember that George
 Washington himself originated v the design for the Stars and Stripes. If history speaks truly, the first United States flag was gotten up in hurry-as so many achievements of genius are, and the very first model was concocted from the materials in hand at the moment, an old blue army overcoat, a red flannel petticoat and a white linen shirt. One day, so the story goes, a committee appointed by Congress and headed by General Washington, commander in chief of the Continental army called upon a little woman living in Philadelphia one Betsy Ross by name, and by oc- cupation an upholsterer. For women did tho upholstering in those days.

~HERE are some sport clothes
 so called-that pose; but none S of the sport togs pictured today R~ are of that sort. They belong to the realm of real sport. the kind of sport that means exercise and good, honest work, even though the work is play of a kind. Sport clothes that 9pose are the picturesque and con- fspicuous garments one sees at the Fcountry club or at the beach on wom- ,en who would be exhausted after, a two mile walk, and would faint or have apoplexy after a really sporting game of tennis. She who goes in for real sport-which means usually strenuous exercise of one sort or an other-can wear almost any costume she chooses. Nobody criticises the scut of a skirt worn by a champion tennis player. or the style of shoes af- fected by a champion golfer; and the expert swimmer may appear in swim ming togs that non-swimmers would not venture to don. Fashion is not so important in real sport clothes as fit ness; and fortunately for the woman who loves sport but who loves also to 2 look her best whatever she be doing. every sort of sport is provided for in suitable and attractive raiment This

~ HE who regards a knitting bag as merely useful contrivance designed to keep wools from - becoming soiled or snarled dur ing the process of work, makes a grievous mistake. The knitting bag. these days. is to the summer morning costume what the parasol is to an aftern son costume: indeed, bag and parasol are frequently boon com- panions and both carefully match the frock they accompany.
 $ Styles in knitting bags change as rapidly as styles in -hats-or frocks. Last years bag is a hopeless "hasr been" and anyone looking at it-anyone sophisticated in fashions cult-will recognize that it is left over from another season. One must have a smart, new-style bag to carry one's neediswork or knitting about in at the summer resort and the bag plays no little part in the ensemble one pre- serts-no doubt about thati
 Last season, bags had e1lir rtical wooden handles, the bag portion sffrred to, the lower half of the ellipse. By September this style was entirely passe and straight, rod-handles swing ing on tasseled cords were the proper thing. With dawning spring new handle has arisen and it is shown in the bag hanging over chair-back ip one of the illustrations. This handle, as !you perceive, is elliptical in it's lower half-where the bag material is attached-but the upper half de- scribes several unexpected curves. In fact one may conclude this season that as the handles bent the bags inclined-to paraphrase the old say ing about the twig and the tree-and this is a special sort of handle, made of light metal instead of wood so that the curves keep their shape.
 The bag pictured is made of plaid taffeta, with blue and tan lines on a white ground. and the little stuffed silk apples. which trim it are blue, old rose and tan. The bag was planned and built to harmonize with the. costume it accompanies; white tub silk frock embroidered in blue and tan; the hat having tiny rose and blue silk flowers above band of blue ribbon The maid is knitting a sweat CT of hlus worsted--for mark you

just as they did the tailoring. Every season the woman tailor visited round" from family to family, staying a week or so and making new clothes Tor the men folks. They were sturdy clothes, cut from honest blue home spun and sewed painstakingly stitch by stitch by hand-for there were no sewing machines then.
 To Miss Betsy Ross General Wash ington submitted his rough sketch of flag and Miss Ross, from her prac- t1cal knowledge of stuffs and coIors, offered few suggestions. Another sketch was made, and the flag was pasted together, the army coat, fan net petticoat and white shirt being shipped into strips and stars for the pattern. The flag was approved by

sport skirt cut and made in the home sewing room, even of very expensive fabric, Be careful to match the silk used in the seams and outer stitching of the semi-made skirt for the finish ing at home. A cheap substitute for silk thread spells an otherwise good looking tailored garment and may be the means of it's utter ruination; for cheap thread fades in a strong light and shrinks when wet-as silk thread never does.

 Look Smart If You Ride Horseback.
 No carelessness permitted in the 1 riding habit! Smart and correct it
 must be from hat to boots. In this

 master craftsman. Note the .trimness

one does not knit a blue sweater in a pink frock; or an orange sweater in a lilac frock. These little matters are carefully looked after by the needle worker who wants to make a charm ing picture of herself on the beach or under the trees.
 Striped and plaid silk knitting bags are a bit smarter this season than bags or lowered cretonne, though a great many of the latter will be used. There is something about the gay-colored cretonne bag which makes it fit into the summer picture most attractively; and it is sturdier bag, also, than the one of silk which must be guarded carefully at all times. Any bag of this

lous little workbag, this, suitable for the coquettish cane arrangement
 Bags for country and seashore use are often accompanied by cushions made of matching material. One stuffs the cushion in the hollow of big porch chair, or into the square corner of couch-hammock; or it may be used to sit on. in rsailboat or on the sand or grass. NSuch a cushion must be built of sturdy material and the bag that matches it will be sturdy too. A desirable cushion and bag are pie tured, the material tan burlap which will resist almost anything in the way of wear and tear. Sketchy flower de signs have been washed in with thin oil colors in bright futurist effect and the. necessary sewing is done with worsted in running stitch or button- hole stitch. The -square-sided bag has a bottom of sateen and the pillow is made of two pieces of burlap with shirred sateen in a three-inch strip joining them. Inside is a fiat cushion and a stout handle is attached so that the cushion may be carried over one arm. Cushions of this sort are made also of striped awning cloth, of khaki and of denim. A good looking set combines a cushion of green and white striped awning cloth and workbag of green sateen buttonholed in white worsted. There are ready-made sets of workbag, cushion and parasol, the parasol having a pointed end so that it may be thrust into the sand. With the parasof thus placed for shade, and the cushion on the sand for comfort, one may spend pleasant morning with ones needleworkr by the summer sea.

Congress and not long afterward the first Star-Spangled Banner f1oated to the breeze.
 The flag designed by General Wash lngton and Miss Ross had thirteen stripes and thirteen stars, to repre- sent the thirteen original colonies. or states of the new Union. Later. a new star was added for each new state, until now there are forty eight stars; but the thirteen stripes still stand for the plucky thirteen colonies of -1776.
 There were flags in America before the birth of the Stars and Stripes; every colony had one of its own. But in 1776 necessity was felt for one rep resentative banner, and thus was evolved the first U. s flag.

KNIT FOR YOUR SOLDIER BOY

Wristlets to keep cold andf damp. ness from the arms and to prevent rheumatism. A All of these articles can be knitted with a simple, uncomplicated stitch, though one must acquire the knack of making ribs for the socks and wrist lets Do not select gay or dainty col- ors; the soldier boy will not fancy rose pink wristlets, pansy purple socks or sleeping cap in the new shade of canary. Brown, navy blue and gray are the shades to select, or a pepper. and salt mixture

EVERYBODY is knitting for the
 soldiers now. It is ever so much
 more satisfactory than knitting 0 a sweater for ones self alone. Recommended by thes Red Cross So- ciety are these articles which are easy to knit and which should be greatly appreciated by boys at the front:
 Sleeveless sweaters to be worn un- der the military uniform.
 Helmet caps and sleeping caps for protection from chill on cold nights when the soldier sleeps out of doors. Socks and muff1ers.

sort is better looking, and more dur able. when lined and the lining may be of thin silk or even of silkoline in some plain shade that harmonizes with the lowered cretonne or fancy silk of which the bag is fashioned. It is a good idea to stitch several pockets into the lining before slipping it in- side the bag. Embroidery needles. skeins of floss, small scissors and oth- CT belongings will be easier to find when one sets to work and there will be less danger of their becoming en- tangled with the fancy work in the bag.
