The Washington times., 1922-04-23

Golf this year finds ardent
devotees among the ladies and
added to the list of veterans in
the game Is the golf flapper.
Yes, the golf flapper is here with
the season and knickerbockered
femininity is visible here and
there on the links trying out the
clubs. The knicker costume is
the natural sequence and every
country club Is now familiar with
the skirt that can be checked in
the locker while the game goes
on. For they're wearing 'en. all
over the country and, further
more, they look mighty attrac-
tive, the jaunty cape or coat
and gay sweater and-well, the
same sort of suit that brother
used to wear and doesn't wear
any more, unless he keeps q
guard on his wardrobe.
1t was France that took up the
process Of turning one garment
into many, and America follows
suit. Now we have the three
piece knicker costume, and when
the game is on the skirt is snapped
under the collar Of the coat and
serves as a cape. When not in &C
tive service on the links the suit is
ideal for wear about town.
THE demand for gay colors is
apparent in open-air activities,
and sport clothes take on every
bright color imaginable. Green is a
popular color so often combined
with white for sport wear, and red
appears in the mode at quite all
unusual time Of the year.
The fabrics affecting these gay
colors are coarse. In Washington
the younger set Is making a run
on rough materials that suggest
the old-time hand-woven stuffs that
prevailed in the days Of hand
looms in New England. Rough

each more bewitching than the
last. When the fine days come
Washington will witness many
suits in two shades. a contrasting
coat with light skirt. Young girls
will wear such a bewitching en-
semble, a red jacket with a white
skirt. The favor of red will con-
tinue indefinitely, the beautiful

fuchsia; not the flashy. obtrusive
shades.

to be fashionable is to be sporty
