Keeping In Tnm---In The Morning
BY JEAN PATOU

Paris, June 25.-Those practical ensembles set aside for morning or informal wear, more often known as sports clothes" have really little ir common with the latter. In the first place. sports clothes have to be and look simple, therefore all fantasy is barred from them. With morning ensen bles, the same general ruling applies, with a difference. They are allowed greater latitude in the choice Of materials and in the tern of discreet but very feminine trimming.
 The fabric Chat IS enjoying un- stinted popularity this season for making up morning ensembles be- longs to that category of tweed veaves. Next comes few varia- ties of jerseys and ot course, the new lace jerseys that are being used more generally for blouse, Lace jersey is essentially sum- mer fabric and infinitely more agreeable to wear in hot weather | than the ordinary wool jersey. which IS rather too tightly woven for perfect comfort,
 Varied Color Combinations
 Color combinations play an inn pertaat role in these morning cos tunes. but they have to be care 1 fully studied. A neutral shade is usually used as basic color touched with some livelier color. There are a number Of good color combinations to be seen this year, but my preference goes to brown l and yellow or brown and cream. l beige and -ed or green and white, | the latter sometimes outlined with black.
 Most of the new materials show 1 q fancy weave in two or more col | ors. This $ sufficient decoration in itself, and I favor these in pref e.ence to other fabrics set aside | for informal wear as these are apt at times to look little too hard and mannish.
 As both dress and coat are us ually made in the same material, attractive decorative effects and q pleasing variety can be brought to the costume by using the fabric on the blas or diagonally foe either one of them. or again. by clever lncrustatIon work.
 Achieving Jauntiness
 Lingerie touches and buttons are made use of too. in these morning ensembles, 70 enhance or outline certain details and impact jaunt:er effect. Speaking of lip- gesie touches, the unheard of suc- cess Of white cotton pique as a trimming may appear strange to some people, but it has its "raison d'etre.' However illogical we style creators may still be considered bz the initiated, the use Of pique IS not the result Of a 0hinl but t happened to be the fabric best suited 10 accompany sports clothes l. is more tailoredlook- irg than sheer linen and organd:e and other such sheer materials
 Accessories play an important part in these ensembles Made ot the same material and by acces'
 series I mean hat and bag prin' cipal!y-they are smart, but I cor.
