any amount Of trouble in procuring
smart clothes for their games. The

wears on the tennis court are, judged
by our standards, somewhat fussy.

more severe and mannish cut to

in this country are beginning to real

our OWL sports clothes than ever
before.
Some very smart new costumes
of this type were designed by Paris
dressmakers for their clients to wear
. at Cannes, and am showing to-
day several distinctly new tennis
blouses and skirts that appeared.
A Blouse in Serge
With Leather Lacinzs
A BLOUSE developed in blue serge,
with brown leather lacings, is cut
so as to fall In loose, baggy folds,
thus giving freedom of movement.
While this model made its initial ap-
pearance On the Riviera, it appeared
later I. tae February showing of
Madeleine 81 Madeleine. 1t has been
copied with many variations, in one
instance being developed from serge,
with stripes embroidered in silk

material both with and without the
lacings. When the lacing is used,
black patent leather belt, inlaid
with brown motifs, finishes the
waistline.
You will find this model sketched
at the center of the page, and just
at the left of it is shown one similar
in style which has been made in very
bright colors. green being the one
most often chosen. These bright
colored blouses were worn with serge

the others, Is distinctly new in cut
