Cotton Mesh Takes a Firm Sane
Says
WSz07a05
This Loosely Knitted
Fabric Develops Sports
Frocks and Tuck-in
Blouses.

TOTTON mesh has come
out into the open to take
its stand among the high
ly favored fabric contestants
in the current sports mode.
Although loosely knit, there is
no doubt that cotton mesh has
learned the most recent sar-
torial rules Of the outdoor
game. For it complies with
the dictates of the mode in de-
veloping frocks belted at the
waistline and slightly bloused,
and which fit the hips in the re-
CURED manner and permit full
ness to escape from the level of
the hip bone. This is the cut,
by the way, that clever sports
frocks of both wool, silk and
cotton are taking to meet the
requisites of practically and
chic demanded by the active
and spectator sportswOman.
Tuck-in blouses Of cotton mesh are
playing an active part in style events.
Generally they are made with neat
surned-down collars and short sleeves,
and are worn with skirts Of a con-
trasting color. Berets are the pre-
fered cap for such costumes. The
seafarer finds such an outfit admir-
able for deck wear and the golfer
discovers il as a link between style
and comfort One such costume IS
sketched here today and j. Of the
popular pastel blue and white COM
bination. The blouse il neatly de-
corated with shiny silver buttons
and i worn with a skirt Of light blue
tweed.
The influence Of cotton in the more
formal group of daytime costumes is
dominant. Linen and pique jacket
suits Of both light and dark shades
are literally and fguratively going 10
town, while the OF the late
afternoon hours IL easily described
in dainty organizes, nets and figured
voiles. A costume Of novel dignity
and charm that upholds the claim that
cotton may develop one Of those adj
mirable nlany-occasion frocks, Is that
shown at left. a simple dress OF pale
pink pique is the foundation for the
costume, and when the occasion de-
mands a degree Of formality a charm
ing jacket blouse of black figured in
pink IS slipped ove Il.

"Don'i Cire Up the Ship!!''

1T was June tho First, lslS-oft

six miles east OF Boston light
The American vessel OF war. the
Chesapeake. was fighting a losing
battle with the British vessel. the
Shannon. With most OF her crew
green and unframed. the American
craft was no match for the British
vessel. manned by veterans or long
service and finished in training.
Early In the fight the Chesapeake's
stays had been shot away and she
drifted helulessly in close range az

as the waves and wind swept the two
vessels together and a boarding
party from the Shannon was prepar.

crippled American craft. her COM

The American commander knew
that his course was ended. Around
him he could see the deepening
shadow OF death. but out OF that
shadow his herotsm shone with all
the greater lusrre.
The situation OF Lawrence's YES
sci was hopeless. She wallowed IN
the sea at the mercy o. the British
foe. To continue resistance was to
