While II would be pity 10 dress
always in a mannish style. there Is GER
tainly no reason why you should not
have sports suits and sports hats for
spring And also no reason why people
should call you "bg-tlmers," as you
express IT, because you wear them.
Sports clothes are far more appro-
pirate for walking and spending of time
outdoors than moro feminine looking
clothes At the same time to always
wear sports costumes. as some girls do
is a mistake. II a girl finds. however,
that sporty plain clothes are moro be-
coming than 1uffier ones she should
wear what is lest suited 10 her style.
