bit as smart as the frocks and wraps
The new sports shirts are notable
this season. They are generally OF
good quality Of crepe or radium silk
and are tailored much as the shirt
waists Of old were, but they are I'm
ished at the lower edge with a wide
band, which Ats down over the skirt,
well onto the hips. This Is a feature
which will appeal to every woman who
refuse to stay tucked into the top OF
the skirt. These skirts are primarily
designed for golf or tennis and are
worn over a plated or w~rap-around
skirt and q sleeveless sweater.
Sweaters on Coat Limos.
The new sweaters, often sleeveless
this season, are cut on coat lines. A
novel note just introduced is the COM
bination of a plain back with q checked
front. This idea Is carried out also,
using a Batik or tie-dyed effect for the
front with a plain, h~armonizing back.
Reports from the smart country clubs
indicate that the neutral or at least
the less vivid colors prevail. Beige,
gray, and blue are more popular thar
the loud blazer effects Of last year.
Pages could be written about the
charm of the one-piece frocks which
fall under the heading of sports
clothes. They are preferably knitted
in a variety of weaves, weights and
materials. Silk, wool, silk and wool
are all equally smart. Often they are
figured or patterned to adhere to the
tremendous vogue for printed stuffs.
They are straight chemise frocks after
the Chanel models, but they are very
apt to have plaits On one hip or both;
indeed, by their plaits you know this
years chemise frock from last. Next
in favor are the crapes. Crepe de
chine, canton and satin are used ex-
tensively for simple frocks, often
trimmed only with hemstitching and
embroidered monogram. There are
also some very good looking cottons on
the market, woven heavily In two har-
mOniOus colorS-gray and orange or
blue and green-so that the result Is a
charming changeable effect, and the
texture Stimulates the more expensive
knitted materials.
Those dresses with plaitings over
hip only accentuate the cleverness Of
the simple line. They give room
aplenty for walking and moving about
In any way that sports or everyday
wear demands, and they preserve that
lntrimmed effect which is so much
the secret of the dress. One Of them
Is made of that heavy silk knitted
fabric In black and white that incor-
a brocaded design in the weav-
ng, with a resulting fabric that is
heavy enough to maintain straightness
If line and fairness of appearance with
,ut the slightest interruption.
Short Coats Are Chic.
The short coats are certainly the
sensation of the summer, and the more
perfected they become the more sports
nanlike and beautiful they SEEM. They
ire made of every known material
rom velvet to cotton, and all the varia-
ions of weaves and patterns that come
n between. They have come a long
way from those j%acquettes that are
astened closely over the hips, and now
hey are loose and straight, with lines
hat are growing rather more flaring
nder the arms. Their sleeves are
ept wide at the wrists, and many Of
hem are made three-quarter length.
hey are incest, indeed, when they r
vorn with plated skirts, although with
ne-piece dresses they look extremely
Tell. At a smart country club the
day there was a costume that
onsisted of a plated white crepe silk
tirt and a white silk blouse made on
