that sports clothes fit in almost any

In making them suited to all person

~ UTDOOR life has come into it's

brief summers. Everyone appreciates
the benefits and the charm of life out
In the open air and modern homes are
built to allow much time to be spent
outside of walls. Even city dwellers,
with no bit of garden or scrap of
ground with single tree, have learned
to make the most of such porches as
they may be blessed with and are mi
grating to the roofs and converting
them into a semblance of gardens.
The family that has a porch at It's
disposal can almost live in the open

toward an open fire in the winter
time. 1t is good idea to furnish it
for comfort and as attractively as
possible, including table for serving
breakfast, lunch, or refreshments
when one has guests. Tie porch fur

Watch Your Steps.

The Importance of graceful walk
ing never has been more evident than
now. All the styles in fashion are in
tenseIy feminine, and it is no exag-
geration to say their success depends
almost entirely on the way they are
worn and carried. Draperies floating
frcm the waist demand spring In the
step and light feet that do not lag.
Short sleeves are lamentable, unless
the arms and hands are well formed
and well kept, and there is no charm
In the display of silk stockings unless
the ankles be slim. In the choice of
clothes women must frs. be honest
With themselves and then choose &C
eording to natures endowment.

tiness, but color plays a less impor
tant part this season than in the early
history of sports attire; designers ar.
rive at their results by more subtle
means.
There is plenty of color, however
for those who find 1t becoming and it
is used wit delightful artistry in
some of this seasons sports sets-a
set being skirt and overgarment of
some sort: In the picture above there
is skirt and smock of coarse natural
linen. The skirt is short and full and
plain. The long blouse has convenient
threequarter length sleeves and COM
Portable round neck. What puts this
smOck on the map of the fashion world
is the vivid embroidery about the bot
tom of the smoGk which might Of
course be an applique Of linen in
bright colOrs outlined with yarn In
black. Figures of birds and geometri-
cal forms take the place of floral
motifs occasionally. Unbleached domes-
tic will make q successful set of this
kind. The small, soft hat is made of
narrow ribbon and has little clus-
ter Of yarn flowers applied to the up
per edge Of the brim. Flat-heeled cam
vas shoes and Isle stockings finish
this sports dress correctly.
