Winifred Black Writes of Tickle, Fair-Weather Friends
Tucks Adorn the Latest Sports Frocks S
Clever Workmanship and
Many Tucks Make Sports
Frocks More Elaborate.
BY MARIE MAROT

ONE are the days of the
r dowdy sports frock! Now
adays more thought and
careful workmanship Is put into
the development Of this p~articu-
lar field Of fashion than in any
other, and the result is more
than satisfying, to say nothing
Of the charm.
Pastel shades in very light
fabrics seem to be the mode for
the season, and the result is that
sports frocks have taken unto
themselves a chic that is unde-
niable.
Pictured here are two very
clever, charming frocks show
ing how tucks are utilized to the
best advantage.
AT the left the graduated
pleats on the skirt give a mod
ernistic touch indicative of
~cleverness and thought. This
particular model is developed in
a very light gray silk, with in
crustations Of black and medium
gray. With a hat matching the
colors and modernistic in its
trend, the costume is complete.
AT right tucks are used hori-
zontally to make a most effec-
tive blouse, dependent solely on
their symmetry for its chic. The
skirt is pleated in conformation
with the tucks, that is, Of an
equal width. This is in yellow
crepe de Chine with white scarf
and belt, showing the fob treat
ment.
OF course, if you are short
and inclined to plumpness, such
a frock as the latter should be
Stunned, for it would but ac-
centuate your figure. However,
a tall slender woman can carry
such a frock admirably. The
frock at the left is equally be-
coming to all types.
Tucks forming square all over
the material are quite popular
combined with plain material.

never listened to advice. He always

occasion he deliberately nibbled q

1t is really remarkable that our poor abused
stomachs do not rebel more frequently than
they do. We put into them almost everything
except the kitchen stove. But, in spite Of all
mistreatment, digestion goes on, and relatively
few persons suffer from serious stomach dis
ease.
This organ is shaped like a pear, with the
small end to the right. The large part is entered
through the gullet and, after the food is pre-
pared in the interior of the stomach, it is ex-
PEELED through the "pyloric valve into the small
intestine.
The part of the intestine which immediately
joins the stomach is called the "duodenum." 1t
liberation is likely to occur.
