In the Field of Sports
Sport Costumes Show Many
New and Fascinating
Innovations.
By Marie MarOt

TENNIS frocks and accessories
are receiving rcawakened at
tention.
There are many cute models of
sleeveless tennis dresses, piped in
self material and perfectly plain
except perhaps for a neat pearl
buckle appearing on the belt.
Others are more fussy, elabora-
ton being achieved by tucked de-
signs and insets Many have box
pleats on just the front of the
skirt while others feature accor-
dion pleating all the way round.
There are numerous jackets be-
ing made to combine with these
dresses. Some are in sheer wool
and angora, banded in silk, and
others employing brilliantly striped
flannels, made blazer fashion. Still
others combine flannel and ere
tonne. With very few exceptions,
the ones seen 30 far are decidedly
attractive and chic.
Combined with the costume
sketched to the right, is seen one
of the new "ring-scarfs." It is of
blue and white silk-the ends Of
which slip through a blue ring.
These rings can be slipped up and
down the scarf to hold it in place
as desired, or will serve to tighten
the scarf about ones wrist if it
is to be carried.
Tennis socks are a few items.
They come in beige, gray and white
sheer wool, and are to be worn
rolled over the stocking at the
ankle.
An innovation occurs in tennis
hats in the new "Lenglen- Wills"
headgear. 1t il made Of white
silk, the crown being draped with
an eye to the dizzy headbands Of

visor adding the Helen Wills note.

thirst, the urge for emotional expression, the i'm
pulse to avoid injury and death, the desire to
stand we'll with our neighbors, to mount to sue
cessive levels OF achievement and success-these
are the energizing factors Of life.
Yet the cravings are constantly being
thwarted by the codes and conventions OF the
world we live in.
For example, a man must satisfy his nutrition
urge, or he will starve to death. He must first
earn money enough to buy the food.
But suppose he cannot earn enough to buy
the quality Of food and service he prefers?. Sup

individual to do-if he cannot pay for all these
