fancy for perfectly plain, nicely tail

autumn and these shirts are consid-
cred smarter than silk ones for sport
wear. Linen Is so much desired. now
that 1t is back after its absence during
war time, that every woman wants all
she can have of it, and immaculate
white linen sport shirts are having a

out there. But the woman who lives

You sit basking in warm sunlight

You sit basking in warm sunlight,
watching a tennis tournament. All
about you are happy young people
clad in summary tennis toys. White
linen skirts and rubber-soled shoes are
the order of the day. Heads are hat
less. Yet just around the corner turks
winter and you only remember 1t when
the sun goes down and it is good to
snuggle into a good warm sweater
drawn up to your chin. The open sea-
son in autumn sports lasts into and
frequently overlaps the winter season
OF skating and coasting; at any rate
the riding, hunting and golfing season
does. November first usually marks
the end of the tennis season and rack
cts are regretfully laid away after
election day-unless one has the priv
ilege of playing all winter on an in
door court. Tennis is a hot-weather
sport. One has to feel warm through
and through to feel warmed up to
the game" Good players often de-
clare they would rather play with the
thermometer at so than on a cool day
and though some people find this hard
to believe. it is quite true. One must
be all in a glow and must perspire very
freely to play good tennis. Something
in shivery air seems to take the
spring and suppleness out of ones
joints and the tennis-pep out of ones
spirit.
Golf however, is a different matter

carried by the sporting goods stores.
One of these suits is pictured and you
will note it's smart and graceful lines
and trim fit. 1t is rather dark brown

through season or two.
If you can knit tam to match
your scarf you will have a very smart
outfit for the country club. Everybody
is knitting a tam now; either for her
self or somebody else and for the
woman who mastered the intricacies
OF socks, knitting a tam is child's play.
Many possessors of angora scarfs are
matching the colors in ordinary wool
In order to knit tams. and every girl
who knits a sweater now makes a tam
to match 1t. The pictured scarf and
tam are in golden brown shade with
very dark brown trimming. The scarf
has dark brown stripes and the tam
dark brown head-band
1t Is not probable that the scarf
wrap will find great favor for out
door wear once winter has fairly set
in. 1t leaves the forearms and the
chest too unprotected, and it will not
be as comfortable as an ordinary
sweater with sleeves under a heavy
sport coat; but there is not much
doubt that it will remain in vogue
through another summer, since its
entry has been made so late this year.
Therefore it seems quite safe to invest
in one of these big scarfs if you want
one now. The golf girl does not care
greatly about the scarf-wrap. The
ends interfere with her play and the
sides of the wrap restrict the freedom
of her arms. So she wears a trig
sweater on the links and selects for
autumn one of those good looking
sport sweaters of mannish type such
as sporting goods shops provide: or

French women always did have Pc

generally. When the French woman

selling in Paris the most gorgeous
sweaters of brilliant red wool and
many of these bright red sweaters ap-
peared later at Deauville and other
French summer resorts-but not more
than two scarlet sweaters have been
seen at American summer resorts this
year! The American girl refuses to
wear the sweaters Paris picks out for
her. particularly If they are bright red
and she does not fancy quite so much
coquetry in a sweater as the Parisienne
thinks alluring. Just now the French
sweater is gay with fringe. and it has

POTATO PERU's TREASURE
National Geographic Magazine)

National Geographic Magazine)
 The gold of the Indies was the at traction that led Columbus to sail westward. that carried Cortez to Mex leo and Pizarro to Peru. The IncaS had large stores of the precious metal representing. no doubt. the accumula tions of many centuries. The capture of such a booty resounded through Eu- rope. Spain became for a time the wealthiest, as well as the most power ful nation of Europe, and this was as cribed to the gold of Peru.
 But Peru held another treasure much more valuable for the nations of Europe than the golden booty of Pizarro. Carrying the potato to Eu- rope was an event of much more pro found significance in relation to the subsequent history of the world than sending the Iica gold to the coffers of Spain. But nobody understood the value of the potato, and it's Peruvian origin was generally forgotten before the plant became well known. Instead of Peruvian potatoes we call them Irish potatoes.
 The potato was the basis of the an cient Peruvian nation and has attained almost the same importance in other parts of the world within the last 100 years.
