soft colors as French blue and
pale rose. The coat usually has
rather wide sleeves which open over
the blouse sleeve underneath and arc
not too tight. Deep revers cut away

The Velvet Question.
Just why we have accepted velvet
as a summer fabric l cannot pretend
to say-but not only is black velvet
extremely smart but the corduroys In
all OF the gayest shades are just as
good. They are often trimmed with
Angora in a harmonizing tone >sIld
while for the most part they are made
up into sport coats for beach and
mountain wear one also finds sport
skirts of this heavy fabric.
The finer k'rcn, n fiannels AMI scrges
are much used for the white skirts
and one does not see so many OF
the white corduroys as were brought
out last year. There is after all a
certain economy permitted In sport
things--the initial outlay may not
make this seem possible, but when one
realizes the fashion OF wearing one
gay coat or sweater with any sort OF
skirt and over the simplest or finest

sort Of apparel Is indeed economical.
Thus one Of the black velvet coats can
be, worn with white skirts of any wash
material or with one OF tho sport
satins or silks or again with q gay
woollen plaid so fashionable Just now.
A most attractive costume recently
appeared when a very handsomely tai
lored coat Of blue and white checked
velvet piped with trimmings Of white
taffeta was worn with a narrow skirt
Of white sport satin. The wide hat
which topped this good looking cos
tune was of white georgette faced
under the brim with the white and
blue velvet and a band of the velvet
encircled the crown. A parasol Of the
checked velvet, made in the new way
Of parasols without cores, accom-
panied the outfit. Now this is an ex-
cellent example Of beautiful sport
apparel Of which no further service is
asked. as the dainty. rather high heeled
canvas shoes prevent any greater
exercise than rocking on the country
club porch allowed.
Now as to skirts-almost any
material one chooses Is as much in
good taste as any other. There is no
one thing so distinctly new that IL
stamps all others as being Of last sea-
sons type-though. OF course, the
rough surfaced satins and velvet en-
bossed silks and satins are newer
than the fabrics of palmer surface for
the dressier type Of skirt
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-07-20

and, OF course, the cape as a wrap for
golf field or tennis court Is out of the
question. as only close fitting things
are possible on the field. The mannlsh
shirt waist with outstanding soft collar
and tie and long. close fitting sleeves
is accepted by most women who give
thought to skin, as the high collar
and the long sleeves prevent sunburn
Some Of these mannish shirts are very
gay indeed; they have plated bosoms
Of white and brilliantly colored sleeves
which show from under a sleeveless
coat or sweater.
One Of these is well worth mention
ing. as II serves describing all. 1t has
the back and front Of fine handker-
chief linen. the front being tucked
with an infinity of small narrow
pleats. The sleeves are long with
turned back cuff and are made of
brilliant yellow linen. Over this shirt
there Is worn a black velvet coat slso
cut On very mannish lines and smortly
bound with black silk braid. Big
white pearl buttons close the front OF
the waist.
Popular Sport skirts.
The popular summer sport suit has
been the tricolette and flet. Indeed
we have had nothing in years which
has been SO quickly and so widely ac-
cepted as the filet sweater with its
patterns so reminiscent OF the fine
filet laces and which look SO intricate

leather used as trimming and indeed
for whole garments such as motor
coats but now in parasols which have
been seen made entirely of leather.
Until this season the accepted type
OF sport dress in this country has been
a simple skirt and a sweater slipped on
over q blouse loose and comforta BILE
enough for every mild exercise. Now,
however, the correctly dressed woman
who goes in for sports has everything
to match and made for the event in
hand
As 1t Is a white summer, OF course
white serges and fannels have pre-.
dominated. Even motor coats OF heavy
white polo cloth are more in demand
than almost any other. This material
Is not entirely newt is always de-
iightful. warm and soft. and the coats
made up OF It are so loose and big that
they slip over everything and give the
greatest amount OF satisfaction as we'll
as comfort.
Ponsee Motor Coats.
Long loose motor coats OF heavy
pongee are new and smart. A COM
panion coat TO the pongee Is made Of
so-called Palm Beach cloth in white
and tan also. These coats OF course
are dustproof and are therefore ideal
for summer motor trips.

colored frocks. Bags OF white MORE
are really lovely with mountings OF
white shell and a button catch Of
smoked pearl. Now and then they
rave Innings OF pale pastel colors, but
more often they are left entirely white.
We are so accustomed to find ostrich
feather trimming on everything that
& fringe of the soft feathers on white
taffeta bag affords no establishment.
Nothing is daintier or more appropri-
ate for young girls than vanity bags
of soft pale colored satins encIrcled
with row after row OF flower petals
such as roses and orchids, until the
whole fascinating tritie looks like q
small bouquet.
OF course we are not particularly IA
miliar with little shopping bags OF
dimity, organdy and fine batiste,
though we have for so long had the
fine lingerie things and even those OF
rich lace such as Irish crochet and the
finer Brussels. There Is a passing
fancy for the little bag fashioned OF
Powered dimity, batiste or other per-
ishaole summer fabric, a fancy as
ephemeral almost as n summer breeze
OF course these delicate things are
meant primarily as small vanity bags
| destined for handkerchief and mirror
and powder puff--they could scarcely
/ give practical service.

vanity cases still are often seen. diff

of the first Of these little boxes. These
are narrower at the bottom and open
out quite fiat so that they are wide
enough to hold all the fittings c1nsid-
cred essential. but they are shalower,
! though, than the first models.
The late summer has brought out
some wonderful lace scarfs which are
being used not only as scarfs but are
being made up into blouses As yet
only the wide fiounces OF Spanish lace,
such as we call msntillas. have ap-
peared and these are fashioned into
short sleeved blouses to be worn over
colored slips, One has a pepium of
deep white silk fringe which will ex-
tend onto the skirt at least two feet
below the waist.
Another summer fancy Just arrived
Is the short sleeved sweater. We
have for long had the sleeveless

oy MAN IA oOOD6 ANDENSON.
r N considering the matter Of sport
clothes we have come to recos-
nize at least three distinct classi-
Relationships real utility article built
for service and comfort, the semi-sport
things which spell more or less Of COM
fort and the distinctly pretty things In
gay colors and Of such design which
mean only looks and suitability.
1t is conceded that we are in for
what has been called a revival of
sports" and this has called for a whole
new set Of things different from the
more familiar and simple sport ap-
parel. For instance. women who hunt
or ride or golf or motor are imperative
in their demand for we'll cut and we'll
made garments which shall not inter-
fere with the things the play demands.
First of all must be mentioned the new
athletic underwear which Is sweeping
the more feminine garments aside.
These are copied from the masculine
garments and in no way differ as to
frills or trimming and are severely
tailored. even to the bit of elastic le-
In at the waist band permitting great
est freedom of movement. The ma
terial is usually of cross barred muslin
or dimity. though there are some finer
pieces Of a silk fiecked batiste in pale
pinks or blues-the feminine craving
for pretty colors and lines dies hard,
even in the matter of athletic under
wear. and all sorts of tastes must BE-
considered.
Latest Golf Suits.
For real service the newest Of golf
suits have the skirts bound with
leather. This is distinctly. a good idea,
as 1t prevents all sorts of happenings
to the bottom Of the skirt and the
leather gives a very smart look indeed
to one OF the fine Scotch heathers or
English tweed suits.
We have noted before the great
craze In Paris for leather trimming
craze expressing itself not only in

share is simple as compared
with turning the knitting bag
into the shopping bag. That is what
has become Of that huge and vo,umi-
nous Conta!ner without which none Of
us ventured forth when we knitted
so strenuously for tho soldiers and for
which many OF US paid almost fabu-
lous sums.
A descendant Of that huge bag Of
another day is found only occasionally
now in a shopping bag OF black satin
or velvet mounted on wide tortoise
shell or amber rims with a handle OF
the same by means OF which 1t can
be swung from the arm. 1t Is square
and wide and except for the shell
frame has no other trimming unless
one can call the gay bright satin or
brocaded silk lining such. The pres
ent demand for beaded bags is still
far in excess OF the supply of these
lovely things.
Keeping pace with the vogue OF the
oeaded affair comes that OF the velvet
bag with its splendid mounting OF
heavy silver showing squat, fat little
Dutch figures, windmills and canals
and long silver chains to serve as han
dies. The Idea Of this day seems to be
expressed In bag which can be used
year after year and then left to pos
ter!ty like the family spoons and
forks. 1t Is for this reason the won
derfully handsome silver frames are
brought out in great numbers. The
lower part OF the bag may be changed
year after year 10 match any costumes
1T may be made OF finest velvet OF
satin or richest tapestry and on II Is
mounted the rich silver frames.
Some lovely purses for summer use
are made of white fawn skin with
fiecks of brown and white showing
through darker parts OF the skin. As
the hair has been left OF natural
length the little fiat envelope purses
and shallow shopping bags are as I'M
usual as one could wish. The bag:
made OF this skin are not very deer
but are pointed at the bottom and
tipped with a button Of white kiG
which also is used for the strap handle
and for the lining.

over the shoulders and tucked in the

LOOKING BACKWARD

Somebody has dug up letter writ
ten to II man in Hartford, Conn, in
1920, by a pioneering brother who had
settled In Ohio. 1t contains this in
terGsting reference to the liquor sit
uatiOn of that period:
whisky Is the principal drink used
In all this western country, and Is
drunk in great abundance. The prin
cipal reason of this, probably, Is the
want of market for their surplus
quantity of grain, which induces the
inhabitants to convert 1t into whisky.

There seems to have been little

was evidently not thought Of as n
moral problem or efficiency problem-
They wanted something to drink;
they had more grain than they could
eat or sell, so they made their sur
plus into whiskcy and drank the Wills,

the early days--and to some extent in
days not so early.
