Spring. the Great Outdoors calls to
us with a cry that must be needed
And wherever we are, whatever we are
doing, we grab our golf clubs or tennis
rackets-and off we go.
Outdoor exercise will do more to aid
materially the developing of the natural
grace of the body than anything else.
Golf is especially good For real
sport, for exercise which exhilarates
without tiring-give me game of golf

or furbelows, but dresses simply and

The latest decree In sport apparel is
the wool jersey costume, Sleeveless"
| jackets worn with shirtwaist and skirt
of Sleeveless" suits.
Wool jersey retains its popularity
probably because it chung better, fitted

Each model has some feature which
distinguishes it from every other.
Just a little change of pocket, box

AS to colors, the favorite shades

I tan, rose, green. purple and baige-and
very often two of them are combined
In a very attractive manner.

wide patent leather belt; the coat to

necessitating dainty shirtwaist whose
