But In the middle of the social
season. with balls. operas, debu-
tante parties and bridges and
lunches galore. to concentrate on
sport clothes taxes our imagira-
ton as well as our chatty style.
In the first place. sport clothes
are % picky and choosy. Like
shyiock. they say. I'VE will buy
with you. sell with you. talk with
you. but We win not eat with you,
drink with you. nor pray with
you"
Certainly not. Picture q sport
outfit. Q brushed wool sweater,
scarf. tam and short skirt walking
down the aisle at church. And
what q terrible faux pas It would
be to absent mindedly appear at
dinner attired In q tweed frock and
smart. but gayest Of gay ties. knot
ted about In the popular necker-
chief style.
But on . frosty morning. when
sven the trees seem to have secrets
that they whisper to each other In
. swishins tone. the sport costume
strides up In q Jaunty manner and
boldly asks. what news on the
Rialtof"
Delightful bits Of news. The
Army-Navy game. For. although
many feminine spectators Of last
year wore the smartest and most
filmy Of costumes. feathery hats
and corsages Of orchids. the style
this year bids fair 10 b distinctly
tweedy. And al for the lesson
taught BY the psnetrsting rain Of
1921.

the taunty procession comes the
military tricorne Of hunters green.

THE newest arrival In the taunty
family is the two-piece knit

almost q shame to cover II up by
an enveloping topcoat. In silk and
mohair. these suits are youthfully
designed and offer practically

gay color schemes. The separate

true to Russia. A square collar
and a smart silk tie dismisses the
description OF the latest member
Of the sport family.
Russia comes IN for her share Of
inspiration of the styles In the
walk-with-you. talk-with-you. play
with-you fashions. She expresses
herself in a most delightful mood
when she Is the background for a
skating costume OF unusual charm
and cozy warmth. A soft. brushed
wool is used to develop this knick-
er suit The knickers dare to be
full. almost as full as those of the
type worn by the boys in Holland.
This fullness Is smartly confined
at the knee by a tightly buttoned
cuff. The blouse. that slips over
the head. has an odd but vastly be-
coming hood which ends in a scarf.
The scarf is worn tossed about
the neck and up over the chin, so
that nothing but the red lips and
wind kissed cheeks are left ex-

hose with Scotch plaid cuff rise
above skating shoes of brown,

A MOTHER sport suit Of my ac-
quaintance was made up of
boomers of navy blue knitted
wool. with double elastic at knee,
and a convenient and cunning
pocket for handkerchief and purse.
