II IS established that our most de-
Iiohtful fashions come from ParlS' anu
II is becoming equally well estahIlshe''
that our sport apparel is English IN cut

English walking hat. meaning the rain

materials are of her wardrobe. we
differentiate between the onlookerS anu
the real adherents, and recognize me
richts~f the latter to be as plainly ana
unbecOmingly dressed as the most rig
orous exercise demands.
During the last. year of the war the
knitted sport suits made by hand ap-
neared first in Switzerland at st. Nor
Itz and such places where winter sports
abound. They were instantly accept
ed and were a boon TO trencn anu
Swiss makers also, who could thus ELL
ploy remuneratively their long winter
evenings heretofore given over to lace
making or the fine embroideries' the
demand for which was interrupted ny
war. Now the knitted suit is mas
pensabe. The great vogue over mere
for tricolette and jersey cloth has fur-
ther stimulated this demand.
The wool jerseys are ideal. for they
do not rumple or crush and come IN
such splendid colors that every taste
may be gratified. Hunters green IS
favored color for some reason-1t al

than the fashion of topping whte

Less serviceable than the wool jer-
seys are coats of fine faille and silk
poplin. They are as delicate and re-
fined as the most conservative woman
could ask, and come in such pretty, soft
colors as French blue and pale rose
The coat usually has rather wide

TWO FANCIES IN MILLINERY
Leghorn Hat, Ever Popular, and That
of Large-Fi igured Georgette
Crepe or Silk Wolfe.

The Leghorn hat is favorite for
summer. A quaint, old-fashioned
suggestion is given to many of these
hats by the use Of flower wreaths or
garands and long streamers hang Mt
the back or can be attached at the
side and drawn about the throat. This
touch, especially if black ribbon Is
used. is usually very becoming.
One of the millinery fancies of the
season Is the hat made of large-fgured
georgette crepe or silk voile. These
materials are very popular for after
noon frocks and large hats are made
to match the costume. Usually the
brim is of straw, in plain contrast
ing or blending color, and the crown
of the figured material. The upper
part of the brim may have an overlay
of the fabric or be of plain straw.
