 Of course, outdoor events grow in importance from now on. Add dor shews and benefit fairs to the races and throw in crooust as . new and coming summer sport In addition to tsania golf. swimming. yachting and % on and the time flies with moro to do than one wants.
 News from Newport sounds warning ts all competitors for world famous sun-tan com mpl.xion that Nurial Vanderbilt Church has . running start because she has. to date. spent practically every day outside, dividing her time between speeding in . new boat. and riding along new bridal paths in her capa- city as member of the chamber of commerce's bridal path committes.
 Health Is h the Mode
 Practically every one here. how ever, has some kind of tan. There is nothing nicer. really, than a glowing, healthy look. Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock Jr. made such an Attrac- tive picture strolling around tho pad dock with her famous polo playing husband wearing one of the soft tweed coats in beige topped by . smart hat of the coats fabric that showed fher tan to advantage An- other day she wore rose color in her cardigan suit with friliy white blouse.
 One-piece frocks bloom all over Park avenue about luncheon time these warm days. It is amazing how coats are shed and colorful little dresses show themselves. like flow CTS springing up after the snows leave. Deauville sticks to its black. with touches of ecru or color. but New York this spring is distinctly colorful. Chico Kelvert. however. proves the chic of black when she wears a sweet little black flat crepe with that indescribably soft "dress- maker" look to its tailoring. It has a squarish neck, pleated inserts in its skirt and . suede belt, matching suede pumps. A luscious big orchid decorated one shoulder, caught by a je eweled pin. She wears . simple lit- tic cross, instead of beads. a pleasant change.
 Skirts are changing their styles, quite subtly. I noticed that Marian Wickes at Pierre's the other day wore . beige satin back crepe that had an original overskirt that waa . jaunty flaring peplum length on one hip and swung down to become | low flare on the other.
 Tannish Toaes Popular Tannish tones. with | dash Of orange, are quite the popular shades. And by all means include ono leaf design in the printed wardrobe. Mrs. Elliot Holt wears . hand-blocked print in the chic tones of brown and tan. with n novel collar that ties it. self all up smartly. Her hat. for this frock. by the way. is lovely. intricately cut fine straw, with its brim made of bound sections that make pleats up the side of the crown. Just another ample of the intricate dressmaker influence that is at work everywhere.
 Shirtwaists frocks are reminis- cent of the one e-time stunning shirt waist suits that used to tuck-the tail of the blouse inside long gored skirt. Mrs. Robert McAdoo is tho chic sponsor of one of the newest and smartest of such frocks. An in- definite tan and white print it is, with tabs of white groagrain, edged in brown. for the tie and similar tabs of the frocks' material simulat- ing fringe on the skirt. A most elab- | crate amount of work subordinated to total effect of simplicity. really. The collar of white is quite plain.
 Bows and more bows adorn things When one achieves something new in bows. 1t Is news really. Mrs having her little ballibuntl hat band ed one side in white, the other blue and the blue and white tying separ. ate little bows up the front of the crown that suggested birds on the wing. Her two-eyelet ties had jaunty ribbon bows, too.
 Mrs. George Rose, Jr.. sticks ( feather in her hat of brown Milar and gets an original look to it. 1 Rose quarts comes on apace q,
 quite . smart tone for costume jew.
 elry. Personally, think it take,
 certain types 10 wear it, either . de
 cidedly brunei one or a fair blonde
 It does nothing for the average in
 between. Mrs. Anderson Danner fl
 one who is enhanced by the delicat,
 coloring. I noticed she wore q love
 ly carved brooch and a choker collal
 of rose quartz.
 Hats Mock the Sun
 Hats are growing brims daily. a.
 the sun gets his summer strength
 Cornelia Prime is one good lokin,
 girl who defies the strongest rays
 She wore one of the cutest littl,
 skull caps I've sen nie laogn Mbhlf
 skull caps I've seen in a long tim,
 at Belmont Park. Her cap was quit,
 lovely in the way the faceline wa
 scalloped up to . point in the cente of the forehead and then rounded
 gracefully down over the ears. Diagonal decorations are nor than passing stylish. Pryma Hilton walking up Park avenue with cut little Cornelia Kip, wore a French looking little coat of beige tone tha was entirely covered with diaeons "enervures' as the Partisan call hand-tucks that weave some kind a a design. She wore q very lars brimmed hat with 1t. one of the fe,
