The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-05-12

Most stunning toys of every sort
For every sport has May;
For polo. tennis, motoring,
Golf, fishing and croquet;
For basket ball and swimming, too,
But at the end of day,
She's changed those togs so many
times
She's had no time to play.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Some in
rags-glad rags; some in tags-large
and juicy price tags-and come in
velvet coats, the sport girls are COM
ing to town. Most everyone knows
that the smartest sport togs are
worn in town, anyway, strolling down
Fifth Avenue rather than through
open fields and swagger sgeater
and tricolette skirt are just as much
in evidence teaing at the Ritz as tee
ing on the golf course.
Be that as it may, the newest vel
vet sport coats that are crowding the
ubiquitous eweater for sport suprem-
acy this season are certainly win
ners. Some are cut on Tuxedo lines,
while others affect the belted Nor
folk style and both are equally effec-
tive.
One stunning belted model in
black velvet has a panel collar bound
with black braid that ends in two
novel pockets, button trimmed at
each side of the front. Two buttons
embellish the plain tight sleeves and
two also fasten the braid trimmed
belt. The coat is lined with white
silk.
Black satin coats are also smart
and wool Jersey Norfolk jackets, in
all vivid shades, turn the sweaters
pale with envy. Still sweaters are by
no means to be cold-shouldered out
of the picture. Coat sweaters of silk
and wool still cling to sporty shout
ders and the slipon ones Of wool or
silk, either with or without sleeves,
have taken on new angle or two,
with a filet weave that opens up new
possibilities within its crocheted
squares and filet motifs. Vivid and
hectic shades Of sfeaters are still in
he running, though guaranteed not
to run, yet the pure white sweater or
the one black as the Kaiser's con-
science are the two chic favorites.
1t is the sport skirt that is per-
feet riot of color this season-so
much so that it is indeed almost nee
essary for subdued black velvet or
chaste white sweater to top off such
frivolities with a dignifed finish.
In tricolette, Georgette satin and
Fantasia. silks they are tucked and
pocketed, pleated and buttoned trim
med. In ball room shades of pink,
turquoise, orchid, apricot and Nile
green they combine satin stripes up
on a Georgette base in manner to
reveal much shapely symmetry.
Harder, more durable but no less
smart are the swirts of flannel and of
serge. All white serge skirts show
a penchant for many pin tucks BIZ
secting them around and round, with
rows of bone buttons, down one side
or both and always tucked and but
toned pockets. The tricolette skirts
weave their silken charms around
fair neither limbs in all colors of the
rainbow, but depend rather on their
color and material beauty than on
trimmings and ornate garnishment
for the effects.
Flannel and serge skirts run to
large and colorful plaids and wide
stripes in black and white or color
and these are either box or knife
pleated. One-toned flannel skirts of
pink, Copenhagen or light blue are
all tucked up considerably and there
is new crinkly weave silk in all
these delicate pastel tones that seem
to be quite the newest wrinkle of
them all.
In days of old in ancient Greece
and Rome, the winning sports were
crowned with laurel wreaths, but
nowadays in up-to-date New York
the sirens of the sports feel that they
are winners only when they are
crowned with foppy wide brimmed
hat of hectic hued and coarse meshed
straw, garland, ribbon or fruit
wreathed or else a smart, close fit
ting, shiny black straw sailor, band
ed in brilliant polka dotted, Roman
striped of Futurstly figured silk.
To be good little sport these days
certainly does require some clothes
