comfort and the minimum of effect re-
quired in upkeep are the factors which
appeal to the modern girl. Yet it is
very doubtful whether her grand
mother, heavily boned and dragging in
credible lengths Of berufled skirts
about with her, created half as pic
turesque an appeal to the eye.
The universal reclamation Of sports
clothes as the smartest things for sum-
mer wear has been an incentive for
the foremost designers to create this
season an infinite variety of intriguing
models. They are divided roughly into
two Observation-Disclosures the active and
the inactive sportswoman. Under the
first we find the severely simple, Eng
lish type of thing, cut correctly for the
sport at which one wears 1t. Conven-
tional riding habits, polo costumes, in
tricate ensembles for climbing and fish
ing, all are necessities for the active
woman. But they admit Of little imagi-

correct thing is sure to be had. Cos
tunes for golf or tennis may, Of
course be varied, possess individuality
and still be very smart. Fer the So
called inactive sportswoman (and this
includes practically everyone on some
occasion) there is everything from the

cinating costumes of embroidered or
printed silk and knitted frocks with
long wraps to match, trimmed with
fur. With such a lavish assortment
awaiting her selection, every woman
may have proper and charming clothes
for every occasion this summer. And
to be properly and charmingly gowned
is to be at peace with the world.
Demand for Plating.
The foundation of a great many of
this seasons sports frocks is a plated
skirt. This may be crepe, %georgette,
satin, or alpaca, twill or light wooden.
Knife or accordion or box plating
any possible arrangement of plaits-is
chic. Just to achieve that graceful,
straight, yet flowing silhouette that
only a plated skirt can achieve is the
thing to strive for. And they are worn
quite short, these youthful skirts, so
that nose and smart footwear must re-
ceive due attention.
The blouses, %jacquettes, sweaters and
short coats worn atop the skirts are to
be found in the shops in a profusion of
charming designs, yet the smartest ones
are so simple that the clever needle
woman will find it easy to make them
The possibilities for numerous
changes with one or two skirts as a
basis are limitless. For example, n ]
woman's sports wardrobe was built
around a heavy, gray crepe, knife
skirt. A hip-length jacquette
blouse or printed crepe in a beauti-
full design of crimson, blue and gray,
worn with a gray felt cloche, was n
stunning costume. Over this very often s
was worn a short box coat of a loosely
woven summer wooden material. This {
completed what might almost be called :
