spring. The scarcity and high price Of
leather during the war did not prevent
1t from becoming exceedingly fashion,
able. We were not permitted to have
much Of 1t for our shoes, but women
reHelled in army coats, separate skirts,
tailored suits. immense girdles. rain
coats and hats OF the best kind of
leather.
So II Is that human nature very
often defeats the ends OF government,
and without malice or forethought.
Leather suits were to be had: there
fore they were bought and worn. They
were as common a sight on Fifth ave-
nue. as homespun and peltry.
1t was at this moment that those
who create new garments for actual
sports saw In leather q chance to pro-

and the Scotch links would think Of a
pale tan suede coat suit embroidered
in an Indian design in red and black
would give the wearer an object lesson
in the art Of derision; but the fact re-
mains that American women will wear
these suits on the wind swept and sun
baked links of our summer resorts.
| The skirt OF such a suit Is as short
AZ the most formal afternoon gown
worn by q smart Frenchwoman, and
that means much. Beneath its abbre-
Waited hem are worn the ribbed
woollen sport stockings of the hour,
and the suede and leather trimmed
Oxfords which are considered smart
when they match the color Of tho suit.
The Jacket, in order to give as little
| warmth and discomfort as possible. is
| merely a trifie in the form Of q bolero.
| It ties at the neckline in front with
velvet ribbon and its wide cuffs roll
back from tho arm and fasten with
suede buttons in order to keep from
falling. %,.,....
Cream colored blouses of heavy Chi
| nese silk are worn with these suits.
They fall negligently over a low waist
band loosely placed on the skirt, and
their embroidery takes Its tone from
Indian pottery.
BY the way, an individual woman
has invented new type Of golf hat,
which deserves to be initiated by mil
liners or copied at home. 1t Is nothing
but a visor made OF straw and lined
with green to protect the eyes, and 1t
Is tied about the head with a broad
ribbon of colored taffeta- The wear
ing Of a ribbon band to keep the hair
in place when playing tennis or golf
IL an old trick but the use o. the kind
Of visor that is worn in offices to pro-
tect the eyes from electric lights Is a
clever idea Ones hair gets the bene-
At of the air and yet the eyes are
| shielded from the glare OF the hot sun.
Those who design seasonal clothes
know that a large majority Of women
will not take up with enthusiasm. the
idea Of wearing soft, frilled fanciful
| clothes throughout summer days. Yet
| these women realize that the sweater
and separate skirt, though worn, are
not the smart choice, so they compro-
mise.
The designers have caught this de-
| sire for compromise and have made
clothes that are quite unusual, even
though they stand at the meeting place
OF two standards Of dress. They are
not serviceable enough for sports; they
are not ornate enough for social &C.
casions; therefore they are interesting,
FOR they represent something new.
For instance a white satin skirt with
a deep fiounce OF white Georgette heav-
lily embroidered with brilliant flowers
in black silk. worn with a tight fitting
cuirass OF black silk jersey fastened
down the back with white buttons. is
surely out OF the commonplace. Yet It
| Is one OF the smart costumes for coun-
try life. It is worn with a black poke
hat Of the Directoire period, which is
trimmed with aggressive and imperti-
nent white wings standing out at &C.
centric angles.
This cuirass even INDUCES in the au-
dacity OF high wrinkled collar with a
white organdy turnover that envel-
ops the chin and the lobes of the ears.
We are not used to this type OF neck
covering for our alleged sport clothes,

HE dress events OF recent days
have been the race meetings
at Maisons- LATTE and Long
champs. The weather was fine and
warm, so that the women were
encouraged to put on lighter dresses
and more fragile millinery than hith-
erto has been possible. The result
was that mixed with scasonable tailor
mades were many new models in
silken dresses and capes. The models
shown. although skinny to indiscre-
tion, are remarkably picturesque
when well worn.
There is something so light and
graceful in the draperles and such a
suggestion OF spring in the futter Of
their ribbons and laces that the stern
est Of moralists and the, least coquet-
fish Of women are inclined To, show
leniency to the lack of width and
length OF skirt as well as the empha-
sized economy OF material in some OF
the bodices when expressed in very
low decolletes and sleeves no longer
than a mans shirt cum.
Quite simple dresses were given a
barbaric air by being trimmed with
strange. struggling fur fringes or
shredded cloth or rough wool, and
even ragged leather. The same trim
mings were seen on olOaks and even
on hats, and the use OF strange
feathers, tortured out OF all likeness to
rny birds plumage, added greatly TO
Abe barbaric note. The wearing OF
clothes this spring is quite different
from the way clothes were worn a year
ago, and the peculiar roll and wriggle
OF mo fashionable walk may be 0nasoa

As sure as the coming of summer

year there are to be lovely pongee
parasols. Some are mounted on brown
frames and sticks, with no other trim

and brown tassels on the ends An
