By the way, an individual woman
invented new type of golf hat, which
deserves to be initiated by milliners 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 broad ribbon Of
colored taffeta. The wearing of rib
bon band to keep the hair in place
when playing tennis or golf is an old
trick, but the use Of the kind of visor
that is worn in offices to protect the
eyes from electric lights is clever
idea. Ones hair gets the benefit of the
air. and yet the eyes are shielded from
the glare of the hot sun.

first fashion two years ago.
All the world unites in the opinion
that sport clothes should be worn for
sports, and that a woman should de-
velop the most comfortable costume
for the type of activity in which she
most INDUCES. She cannot play tennis
in fiounced frock, do eighteen holes
of golf in georgette gown, or ride
horseback in chemise frock of velvet.
AS long as the American woman re-
mains intensely athletic the shops
find plenty to sell. 1t is we'll that they
are suppressed in their desire to sell
nothing else during six months of the
year.
The world has shown an expressed
desire to see women dressed in a
feminine manner. 1t is the psychology
of the hour. The dressmakers have
caught it; the women are catching it.
1t will prevail.
Those of us who have stood on the
sidelines and watched the game of
fashion have foreseen this change of
heart for year and have preached
1t often.
OF course, there are still millions of
sweaters, plaid skirts and sport hats
to be bought by those who need them,
and there are thousands Of salespeople
to offer them. but the leaders, those
who have vision. created new type of
costume last December which carries
the name sport" through tradition.

7 may be that the public is not as
much concerned over the appear
ance or disappearance of sport
Il clothes as those who study. make
and sell women's apparel. A year
ago the news came from Paris that
the most distinguished makers of
sport clothes had stopped the machin-
cry for this type Of work.
There Is a fatuous belief in America
that this segment of the Anglo-Saxon
race created the type of informal Co.'S
tune that has ruled not only the sum-
mer, but much Of the winter, for the
last fifteen years. The truth is that
France launched the idea and created
the clothes. The women of France are
not athletic. There Is a certain smart
set that calls itself English, and there
fore goes in for tennis, riding and golf :;
but the great bulk of French women
know nothing of these sports and
would not care to indulge in them. No
wonder 1t strikes the average Ameri-
can woman as strange that in such a
country should be developed the germ
of an epidemic in sport clothes-a
germ that no one could think would
lodge in the French brain.
X X X X
But one must remember that the
French brain is peculiarly canny, very
shrewd and full of vision. In the world
of dress this brain has the power to
create something out of air, and by the
very prestige of the power behind
it this thing becomes a worldwide
fashion.
The canny part of the French brain

to call itself English.

sweaters. They are like the original
garment exploited by Mrs. Langtry
when she was called the Jersey Lily.
The exquisite proportions of Mrs
Langtry's figure would be Immediately
changed by a corsetiere Of today, for
the female form changes it's fashion,
like female clothes.
But the tightness of the jersey has
come back into fashion. II outlines the
fiat, curveless, low-busted figure Of the
wartime woman. When possible, the
jersey slips over the head and shrinks
quickly into the lines Of the figure:
when this is not possible IL is fastened
down the back or hooked at the side.
X X X X
This tight-fitting jersey is new. but
1t Is not the only type that the indi-
vidual designers offer. Informality is
at it's height in what is known as the
"bathing-suit" blouse. 1t Is offered for
tho country, and Furthermore, 1t 10
worn.
1t is loose. negligent and exceeding
ly informal with it's lack Of collar and
sleeves. 1t Is tied about the waist to
keep 1t on, and 1t is slashed at the
sides to the line of the bust in order
to give . brilliant lining a chance to
make itself known.

country lanes this season. -.

definitely the path which the world is
treading.
One does not link a sportswoman's
idea Of sport clothes with a flounceS
printed silk frock, white buckskin Slip
pers with silver buckles, and an out
side blouse of cream net over thin
colored Chinese silk run with rows Of
lace insertion and girdled with colored
ribbon. And one can easily see her de-
risive smile at the sight Of balloon
skirt Of pale blue georgette inlaid with
Van Dyck points Of blue taffeta, hob
bled at the hem, and gathered at the
hips under gypsy sash Of blue taf-
feta which is knotted at one side and
fringed at the ends.
OF course, these are not sport
clothes; the absurd part Of 1t is that
those who design them have not the
courage to omit the word sport"
They are afraid commercially. But in
creating clothes which are feminine,
alluring and suitable for the sunshine,
the. open air and country life, they
have shown that they are psychol-
ogists and that they have caught the
trend of the hour. They are merely
entangleQ IN q commercial net OF the
last decade, and that Is why they
launch these clothes under a misused,
much-abused name.

Whenever the pendulum swings in a
certain direction 1t has the force of a
magnet in bringing all particles and
units along with 1t. Everything moves
in its direction, even II some things
70 faster than others.
This IL particularly true Of women's
apparel. The moment our country
clothes became the kind Of thing we
associate with English garden parties,
our actual sport clothes were pulled
along in the same direction.
The commonplace garments which
served for golf and tennis were sup
planted by things that were unusual
and eccentric.
The fashion for leather was respon-
sible for the new type Of golf clothes
which individual women wore this
spring. The scarcity and high price Of

period, everything in fashion, manners,
customs and habits that could be bor-
rowed from the neighbor across the
channel was incorporated into smart
Parisienne life. France has gone
through convulsive periods of being
English" 1t is too early to see
whether or not the mass of the British
army living within her doors for four
years will make her more English"
But this is for the future. The fact
is that when the exclusive set began to
initiate their British neighbors in TAX
ing up the appearance. If not the actu-
atty, Of sport, Chanel. one Of the lead
ing French designers. saw her opportu-
nifty to create a new form Of apparel.
1t brought her millions. 1t permitted
her to play in whatever realms OF sar-
torial fancy she chose. Now she de-
clares that she has stopped the ma
chinery for this kind of work.
The British women, more than any
others. wore these clothes for actual
sport activities. 1t was no pose with
them, as it was in France and Amer
lea. The sport" clothes we wore were
a mockery of the real thing. and they
were worn to teas, to afternoon we'd
dings and to all those gay. occasions
that call for a better form of dress.
In this country we abused sport
clothes. They were clever in the be-
ginning. They were like the tailored
suit-comfortable, smart looking and
serviceable-and. like the tailored suit,
they were overdone.

these women realize that the sweater
and separate skirt, though worn, are
not the smart choice, so they COM
promise.
X X X X
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 founce Of white georgette
heavily embroidered with brilliant
flowers in black silk, worn with q
tight fitting cuirass Of black silk jer-
sey fastened down the back with white
buttons, Is surely out Of the common
place. Yet it Is one Of the smart cos
tunes for country life. 1t Is worn
with a black poke hat Of the directoire
period, which is trimmed with agrees
sive and impertinent white wings
standing out at eccentric angles.
This cuirass even INDUCES In the
audacity of high wrinkled collar with
white organdy turnover that en-
yelopes the chin and the lobes Of the
ears.
We are not used to this type Of neck
covering for our alleged, sport clothes.

Rural Carrier Examination

The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an exam
ination for the county of Madison to
be held at Richmond and Berea on
March %, 1919, to fill the position of
