SOUTHERN RESORTS SHOW STYLES TO BE

in keeping blouse and skirt in per-

conditions.
If the very long waist becomes well

even in bathing suits undoubtedly do
have n smartneSS born of the fact
that they have not been worn for
season or SO past Moreover. 1t Is
never the woman who looks first Tor
easy comfort and serViceability in her
clothes who selects the long, tight
sleeve. 1t requires u higher degree
of technique in dressing to wear the
sleeve that Ats Snugly about the wrist
than the one that terminteS some
where above. And so We associate
the neat trimness of the one who
most affects the long. tight sleeve
with the sleeve itself. and this gives
it distinction.
But whether swomen wear long
sleeves or short sleeves. there seems
TO be little more tendency to wear
gloves at the resorts this season than
there was last. That bubble chat had

novtiiEts says that women OF rest

avoid gloves when they can. pulling
them off almost unCunSCiously when
ever an opportunity arises. And our
American women are, or nave the
reputation of being. the most rest
less and nervous in the world. That
may be their excuse for going glove
less.
For sports wear many women are
wearing a thin sort of wool hosiery

claSsed as a wrap. The Slip-on sweater
is certainly not 4 convenient garment to
don and doff at moments notice. Even
the simply arranged hair does not stand
such harsh treatment. Sweaters that
open at the front have not this difficulty
but they soon lose their shape if they
are taken off and on carelessly as would
be the case when the sweater is looked
upon as a mere wrap. SO now we put on
our sweaters when We intend 10 leave
them on as part of our outdoor cos
tune. Most often they are worn with
out any blouse beneath. Many women
have little muslin or silk sips to wear
with them sometimes with the lingerie
collars ana CT IS attached to them.
But from indications at southern re-
sorts such accessories are not so popu-
lar a trimming for sweaters as they
were last season Many of them are
showing bright collars and cuffs of some
contrasting sort of wool material a
heavy border of cut yarn is used to fin-
ish one silk sweater at the wrists OF the
long tight sleeves and at the edge of
the sweater, midway between knees and
waist
To certain extent the little loose
coats of silk have taken the place Of
sweaters. They may be put on and off
somewhat more easily and are frequent
ly wor'' with Il blouse beneath. tsu-
ally they are selected to go with a
straight skirt Of some contrasting ma
,eriai, usually lighter in h'" Often tie
skirt is of flannel or homespun while
the coat Is of black or blue crepe.
Though some of the designers tell US
that plated skirts ar" quite out. th,y
still find friends among III" weI-d"essed
women who have not wearied of thls
type of skirt. However :hs plated
skirt is not to be found IN thr elaborate
frock in the evening rrocf or afternoon
frock but merely in frock of the sports
type.
The plated skirt takes on especially
good proportions when it Is worn be-
meath a long-bioused model SO that the
fullness OF the plaits does not begin
to flare until the line of the hips.
Plaits that spring right from the belt

not look upon the region that lies
without four walls as did a woman of
fashion of the last century-just
disagreeable region that had to be
passed through in getting from one
place to another.
The enormous vardingale of Queen
Elizabeth's time or the trailing robes
Of the middle ages could not have
come into favor in time when wom-
en- spent their waking hours in warm
weather more largely outdoors than
in. Such fashions would be as in
compatible with the motor car as
with walking.
Bear in mind. too. that the summer
clothes of the woman of fashion now
a-dayS must be so simple in arrange
nent that they may be put on and off
in short time, in the sometimes
crampcd quarters of country-club
dressing room or in bathhouse of d
watering place.
Imagine Queen Elizabeth or any of
her ladies slipping out of her long
stonacher vardineale and ruff ard
slipping into her riding habit in the
time that il took her groom to have
her horse snddled: and then imagine
her getting back again into conven
tional day dress in the time that it
takes TO have tea prepared,
These are two essentials of the sum-
mer clothes of the woman of today.
They must be suited for outdoors.

her deliberate scheme Of things to
simplify the clothes prof. sition as
much as possible Though she may
have servants enough to relieve her
of household anxities and though she
may entertain rather extensively, she
dresses but twice a day.
A gingham or other simple wash
frock or a separate skirt. with sport
blouse, Is probably her first choice. In
any event it is something that may
be worn outdoors. And when she
dresses in a more elaborate outdoor
custom for afternoon she has no in
tention OF dressing again for dinner
or the evening.

Late hours are not part of her sum

young married women she knows are

OF a normal waistline are not in good
favor The side plaits are most in de-
mand, while the box plait is apparently
almost out of the running.
There is no further question as to
the great importance of the separate
skirt in the spring and summer ward
robe of the American woman. She
will like 1t especially because she can
vary her costumes by wearing it with
different bIouses or Jackets. For the
woman who can afford it's upkeep,
white flannel and homespun in white
are perhaps the first choice There is
a greater tendency to wear skirts of
wooden fabric than silk this season
Here and there you see a separate
skirt that suggests a circular cut, but
this is something of a venture The
average woman is playing safer
when She selects the straight, fairly
scant skirt. not too short, but not
long enough to suggest dowdiness
What will ultimately become of the
separate skirt is a question that is
more interesting as it becomes ap-
parent that with very few excep-
tions the big dressmakers Of Paris
have favored a waistline placed even
lower than it has been.
IL Is All very well TO nave ones

ones normal waistline and ones
! knees. and it is possible, though not
| entirely easy. to place a sash at that
angle. But the separate skirt posed
at this line would be out of the ques-
| ton. With the separate skirt the
! long-waisted effect is produced now,
| of course. by wearing the skirt fast
| cned at low normal waistline. with
| the breadth of the hips to keep it in
| place. the blouse or jacket being
worn on top. producing a lower waist :

| Some twenty years ago women man

nection with separate skirts and
blouses. But then the line dropped
down merely in front. It was hu-
manly possible. though by no means
easy. to wear a skirt cut down in

aneSe garden, an orchard or an arbor.
One would be justified in spending
more proportionately in money and
thought for spring and summer out
door clothes than for those of winter
because so many more hours day
are spent outdoors in the warm
months. However. most women do. in
fact. just the opposite. The high cost
of furs makes winter wraps very
expensive proposition.
Moreover an appropriate frock or
suit for outdoor wear in winter can
seldom be a simple little affair that
the careful home dressmaker can put
together satisfactorily whereas there
Is nothing in many of the outdoor
frockS and wraps of this season that
cannot be reproduced at home by the
very clever needlewoman. The knitted
silk. wooIen or ribbon sweater is still
in good reputr. though not so eminent
as in other seasons. and this is some
thing that great many women can
make for themselves.
There are gay silk blouSes that may
be worn in combination with separate e
skirts that need no outside wrap for
wear in the country or at the seashore
on warm days and though these are
made of expensive materials, they do
not present insurmountable obstacles
for the woman who has a clever dress
maker by the day.

Wednesday afternoon when the Pops
took the final game Of the series from
the locals by the score of 10 to 13 in a
very ragged exhibition Of baseball at
Fair Park, featured by heavy hitting
and loose fielding on the part Of both
teams.
sherman staged ninth-inning rally
in the final round and made eight runs
on three hits when the Ardmore infield
blew up. One of these hits was a home
run by Hellman with two men on
bases. McCasland, who had held the To-
Gals fairly well in hand throughout the
game, was relieved by Chelette in the
ninth, but he was unable to stop the
rally until after Hellman had put the
ball over the fence.
Grissett. who pitched for the locals,
was hit hard and received poor sup
port. The Pops made thirteen hits Off
his delivery, and Sherman made eight
errors behind him.
Rainey, who relieved Gribble behind
the bat for sherman in the first round,
was the star of the game, getting a
single. double, triple and home run in
four times at bat. Wleman hit a
home run in the third with nobody on
base. and McCasland got a four-ply
blow in the seventh, scoring Helms
