Paris Designs
New Sports
FrOCkS
They Are of Mesh Net and
Cotton and Are
Washable
By WILMA LA VILE

Paris has at last designed the
perfect sports frock, and Amer
lea is buying and wearing it.
It's of mesh net, cotton, cool
and washable, and as it was
almost a sports uniform at
Palm Beach and other smart
resorts, we expect 1t to repeat
at least a large part Of that
popularity here this summer.
Mesh net frocks are smart
for many reasons; chief among
them because they are essenti-
ally youthful and becoming to
gay young things, and because
they give your that snappy look
that is always associated with
good sports clothes.
The fabric is a newcomer to
fashion circles. 1t resembles
the porus underwear men used
to wear; is knitted with little
round holes all through it; is
cool, absorbent in the extreme,
and washes like rag, needing
only a slight pressing with a
warm iron to give it its original
tailored shape.
The frocks of mesh net that
are shown in Washington shops,
which, by the way. are the
same types that made such
success at Palm Beach, are
made on typically sportSlike
lines, skirts with yokes or fitted
tops worn with blouses that
tuck in. There's an important
feature in the way the blouse
fits about the waist. 1t is
either scanned or cut so that it
is close at the waistline; there
fore. it doesn't pull out of the
skirt, and there's no extra bulk
to make ridge under the
skirt. Another advantage for
active sports is that the whole
costume does not pull up when
you raise your aims.
The shirt n these frockS is
made with short sleeves, and
with buttons, scanning or band
ing as the only trimming. They
are cut to fit superbly, to give
plenty of comfort without any
extra fabric. They give but do
not stretch and they will prob
ably take the place of the bet
ter type jersey frocks that have
been worn for so long. They
come in W ite or pastels and in
addition to their other good
points they are not expensive.
We are stretching one frock
of white linen with a yoke top
of cotton mesh, showing how
smartly it can be combined
with other fabrics. The other
frocks are made entirely of
cotton mesh net,

"spotty" effect they've had in
some other seasons. They're in
one or two tone color effects,
softly blended-with a flow
ing" quality that harmonizes
with the flowing lines of sum-
mer evening dresses.
The fashionable bolero dress
is a good one to choose for a
general daytime print. We've
had one sketched in a pin dot
print.
One of the smart types of
conventional flower designs is
shown in the afternoon dress.
And this also has the touch of
lace at the neck that is such
a feminine part of the after.
noon mode.
The long, classic lines of the
evening dress Sketched are per-
feet to display the large formal
flower to best advantage.

 Beaudin and Taylor fought a pretty fight, with only a few hard blows being landed before the knockout. Mickey used a peculiar crouching stance in the ring. He went at Art several times in the first frame but Art was bit too quick and was landing the blows. Mickey struck first but after that got in only a few punches during the first round. Both boys were hitting lightly
 Boys About Even
 Art was landing to the head while Taylor was shooting them in to the body. Beaudin was landing more blows and was quicker than Taylor but Arts blows were lighter than his opponents. Art appeared con- fident of his blows and hit Mickey to the head as he rushed in. As the bell rang Mickey sent Art into the ropes with body blows.
 Beaudin was sending in lightning quick blows to the head in the third, He was hitting Mickey with light rights and lefts to the head. Mickey was landing some hard blows to the body and few to the head.
 As the fatal fourth opened Mickey backed Art against the ropes and landed. Art apparently lost his temper and rushed Mickey into a far corner. Beaudin was bleeding from the nose. Mickey fought his wa out of the corner. forced his opponent past the center of the ring and Sent several blows to the head, the last of which, a hard right hook to the chin, took Beaudin completely off his feet and landed him with thud flat on his back. He was up at the count of but was out on his feet and collapsed into the ropes. The fight was called. Taylor weighed 137 and Beaudin 135.
 Moore Beats Brady
 In the second preliminary bout Jimmy Moore completely outfought Joe Brady from Douglas. These boys weighed 174 and 173 respec- lively. While Moore is said to have had little experience, he handled himself like vet last night. Each time he took few socks to the head or body he came back strong CT. He was never faxed by Brady's blows.
 Brady used little but wild right swing which seldom reached it's goal, and Moore had Brady almost at his mercy throughout the last two rounds. Moore's only weakness was lack of stamina, for he was unable to give Brady the sleep po- tion although he had him ready for knockout in both the third 1 and fourth rounds.
 The curtain raiser between Bud Carlin, 156 pounds, and Dan White, 160 pounds, went to Carlin Carlin l looked wide open but White was unable to get around Carlin's stiff | left which he kept well up as | guard.
