Clothes for Sports

CHRIMP color Is much in evidence
in both hats and dresses for
sports wear. A crepe de chine dress
in this shade is in two pieces; the
shirt having a pleated bosom and
turned back pleated cuffs as we'll
as pleated collar, tho remainder of
the blouse being plain. The skirt is
accordion pleated and straight belt
OF the material goes about the waist
buttoning in the back. With this
frock is worn a hat Of alternating
bands Of shrimp colored organdie
and straw.
The fresh interest in the girdle
brought about through the long
wasted dress and the prominence
Of Egyptian designs in clothes has
forced belts into the foreground.
Even sports belts have frightened
up to be in keeping with the new
girdles. There are belts formed by
links Of various metals Joined to-
gether with bright colored contrast
ing silk floss, and Of brown leather
stitched in contrasting shades. Then
there are leather belts that have
nickel slides at two-inch intervals.
These slides are slightly narrower
than the belt, pinching the leather
together.
Tan is shade fast pushing it.
self to the fore in sports clothes.
It is practical color. All the
bright hats and sweaters harmo-
nize especially we'll with cafe au lait
skirts, which may be of tweeds,
cheviots or homespuns.
Tan Silk Popular
For Sport Blouses
THERE are great many sport
blouses, too, in various shades
Of tan silk. This vogue, of course,
brings pongee into prominence. In
linen and silk blouses white, striped
with tan, is smart.
Among the clothes Of striped fab
rics are silk dresses In peppermint
candy stripe. Some of the most
exclusive blouse shops are making
to order shirts in these silks and
furnishing a sufficient quantity of
the material to make plain skirts to
be worn with them. These skirts have
10 trimming-not even tucks--but
are gathered to a belt at the waist
and finished at the bottom with a
very deep hem. 4
Although sports suits of un-
bleached or natural wool cashmere
were launched by the French dress
makers several months ago, thew
are only now being adopted by
American women. The cashmere is
of the creamy beige tone Of wool
underwear. This strange looking
material often is combined with
black satin more or less elaborateIy
quilted in beige thread to form the
fashionable country dress. Quilting
will continue to be used as a garni-
ture. Quilted silks are used as lin
ings for coats. A beige gabardine
coat as simple as q Greek column
is lined with quilted navy blue China
silk.
Satin Wraps With
Big Fur Collars
HANDSOME satin wraps with big
fur collars-furs are being worn
even on summer wraps--nften have
a quilted lining OF brilliant hue.
This quilting is not always confined
to the old-fashioned square and dia
mond designs, but exquisite floral
patterns are outlined in the same
way. Sometimes the stitching is
done in metal threads if the lining
is for a very handsome garment.
Along with the quilting, motifs Of
thickly padded embroidery are fre-
quently used.
AS remarkable as the glazed hat
Of Captain Cutie Of Dombey and
Son fame are the wooden sports
hats of this summer. Wood fiber.
not unlike shavings in appearance
and as light in weight as any straw,
is made into sports hats of all shapes
and sizes. To make the trimming
the wood is shaved and applied like
little quilts that curl slightly at the
ends. These hats are in rose color
a shade very popular in Paris foi
