Printed foulards are used efec-
lively for simple draped costumes,
or those with pleated skirts and
warehouses. Frequently they are
accompanied by capes Of wool, lined
with the material of the frock.

they permit so many individual treat
ments that they do not become mo-
not0nous.
The two outfits shown here repre-
sent two distinct variations Of this
mode. The all-white costume at the
left is made in the simple sllp-over
pattern. with round neck and perfectly
plain waist, that extends over the
plated skirt. 1t Is finished at the waist
with belt Of the material. A mono
gram Is embroidered below the pocket.
Chinese embroideries provide the in
spiratlon for the all-over design shown
on the blouse at the right. The pat
tern is worked out In jade green and
light blue against background Of
white crepe-de-chine. The straight
plated skirt is of green crepe-dc-chine

tween the waist and the shoulder,
three or four inches toward the hands
from the outer end Of the bat when
fully extended.
A ball hard to hit must be away
from the plane of the natural swing
of the bat; that Is above or below the
point midway between the waist and
shoulder. At first glance 1t would ap-
pear as II there was no choice as to
whether the ball is above or below the
natural swing of the bat, but accord
ing to the rules of the game the ver-
tical limits of strike are the knee
and shoulders. About ten inches Is
the limit above the natural swing Of
the bat, while about thirty inches is
the limit below.
Also, at first blush, 1t would seem to
make little difference whether the ball
was pitched at the outer end of the
bat or the handle, in the horizontal
extreme outer end Is usually beyond
the outside edge of the plate, depend
ing whether the batter is standing
away or "crowding" AS most batters
step into the plate, bringing the bat
beyond its outside edge, it is better
policy to pitch at the weak end
the handle. Not even Babe Ruth can
hit one very far with his knuckles.
Hence, the hardest ball to hit, theo-
retically and practically, is ball
pitched knee high over the inside cor
ner Of the plate. A low curve, hooked"
over the inside corner and a fast ball,
started at arms length over the pitch
er's head and angled down to the bat
ter's knees, If Judiciously mixed with
fast ball or curve, inside or out, and
competent "floater" will worry eight
out of ten batters.
Slim Sallee, as an example, lasted a
long while after his arm was virtually
through, because his superb control
enabled him to put the ball in the
hardest of places to hit.

edged with two bands of white. The
collar ant short sleeves are finished
in the same shade of green as that in
the skirt.
Hats and accessories are chosen
with the idea of being in complete
harmony with the costume. The young
lady in white has a parasol covered
with ribbon petals and wears close
fitting milan hat trimmed with two
large ribbon rosettes posed at the
front. The hat at the right Is OF white
crepe de chine trimmed with a band Of
the same material edged with French
knots of green silk.
Whoever doubts the progress of
women in artistic sense, and in good

SO that they give TIC the play Of

correctly.
Cotton and silk brocade, surgical
webbing and elastic are the mediums
used by corset makers mainly. Cor
sets for special purposes, as well az
regulation styles, are turned out by
the manufacturers. For sports and
athletic requirements there Is the
corselet and there are glrdles Of vari-
GUS sorts.
Both the front and back-.ace corsets
have their devotees, with back-lace
