What's in Fashion?
Individuality in SpOrtsWear

NEW YORK, May 27.-One
things sure besides taxes.
Never, never, NEVER have you
seen sportsWear like this years
SportWear.
Look at some of the new
sports dresses. Built. for com,
fort, all right. And for speed.
Slim and sleek. No useless din
gle-dangles. But good, clear
cut lines. Lines that say zip
and freedom just as surely as
though they could speak.
Dresses with shape. Not the
loose-hanging tubes that they
wore last summer. And that
made everybody look like every
body else.
These 1880 sports costumes
surely have individuality, as the
three sketches testify
Have you ever seen any
sports dresses smarter looking?
And remember-these are only
three of the many individual
1880 sports fashions.
We had them Sketched be-
cause they are three Of the new.
est. And because until this
year you never saw anything
just like them.
The Windbreaker Dress
Take the windbreaker dress
first. Everybody knows what a
windbreaker jacket is. The boys
call it a lumberjack. Because
it's like that warm wool Jacket
worn by lumber men Of the
North.
We've had it in leather and
woods before-a jacket that
faStens down the front, blouS-
ing over a snug-fitting hip-band.
Now it's of cotton. Put it
with a dress of the same mate
rial. And there you have an
other smart sports fashion.
Notice, though, that the jacket
is shorter than the mans regu-
lation windbreaker. 1t has a
waistband rather than a hip
band. And the dress is two
piece-with an easy-flared skirt
and a sleeveless tuck-in blouse.
The windbreaker dress can
be smart in various fabrics.
Striped cotton Shirting is eSpe-
cially good. Pique is fine, too.
Linen could be used. Even
shantung-though the heavier
cottons are really more in the
spirit of the suit.
The ShirtwaiSt Dress
The shirtwaiSt dress has
some fashion history, too. The
Gibson girl of the early 1900'S
wore something like it. Only
hers was starched and stiff.
And her skirt had many little
cores to make it circular and
it reached clear to her ankles.
And believe it or not-a few
of her actually played golf
in it.
There are several kinds Of
shirtwaist dresses in 1880 fash.
ion. The one in the sketch is
particularly individual.

SpunSilksAre
Popular for
Summer
By Wilma La Vile

AS summer advances, the
shirtwaist frock of the Gibson
Girl and the sleeveless frock
with a jacket grow more popu-
lar by the day. Yesterday we
discussed ready-made shirt
waist frockS, but as there are
many women who prefer to
make their own, we will show
some patterns today, and talk
about suitable fabrics.
Spun silk, or the sports silks
are favorites, for these two
types, and for many good rea,
sons. First, they're fashion
able, and have the sponsorship
of such good Paris couturiers
as Patou and Chanel. There's
quite an interest now in the
texture. of fabrics, and every
silk that has a rough surface
or an amusing texture is just
that much smarter for it. Then
they're washable. and so easily
ironed. Of course they are easy
to make, too. as they are not
sleazy or spongy to work on.
Then their colors are good. last.
ing through many launderings,
and their designs are practically
limitless in their charm and va.
riety.
Stripes, part icul rly tiny
stripes, are verv good for shirt.
waist frocks, and they are
smarter for a reversal if you
use landings fc~ trimming. The
frock should be very simply
made, with only simple collar
and cuffs of md perhaps
button trimming. Stripes are
more lasting. and smarter too
in the woven shirting silks,
such as madras. Standings are
enormously popular, too, per.
haps the leader among sports
silks right now. Plain colors
and ,'ints are equally popular.

cially when your frock is &C

rolo. gabartwill, which is a sort
of silk serge and tussah, though
the list could be heightened
'~~""h f''-''>o"
Cottons are excellent for
these frocks as well, and linens
are smart, though some women
object to them because they
crush so easily. Among the
popular cottons are madras,
shirting, pique, batiste, dimity,
and other old favorites as well
as new weaves. Pique is
especially good for jackets. and
there's a new sheerer cotton
pipue that is excellent for shirt
waist frocks.

BY the Associated Press.
WEST ALEXANDRIA, Ohio, March

National Bank here yesterday chatting
about the money that used to be there.
Two other men, with criminal inten-
tions, walked in and roughly ordered
hands up!"
The bankers, Charles Draper, re-
ceiver for the bank, and neighbor
cashier, just sat and stared incredulous.
". They looked at each other ano
shook their heads.
cant you see you're being held up?'
explained one of the robbers.
"That's too bad" said Draper. This
bank has been broke since a year ago
The cashier who was here then killed
himself. There's not penny IN the
vaults"
Just the same, the robbers wanted to
see for themselves. They searched
and found what the receiver had prom
ised-precisely nothing but dust ana
muSty odor.
The robbers backed out the door star
ing somewhat incredulously themselves
They took their guns with them ano
drove away.

MARINES PLAY BRAHMS
PROGRAM,

A program of three compositions by
Johannes Brahms was given last nlgnt
at the Marine Barracks by the United
States Marine Band Orchestra, Capt.
Taylor Branson conducting. Once a
month the orchestra gives special
symphonic program. An all-Brahms
program was featured this month. a
large audience attended last night ana
included a number OF distinguished
members of local music circles. among
the most interested was Capt. Santel-
mann, former leader OF TINS pano, no"
retired.
The Marines have built the orches-
trail part of their programs steadily
| through the last few seasons and their
playing shows consistent Improvement
| These men, who are required to serve
double musical purpose, playing brass
| instruments in the band for the Sum-
mer concerts and orchestral string and
reed instruments in the Winter season,
are now developing the latter more dif-
| fcult part of their program to a very
high standard. They gave a fine pres
entation of the famous Symphony In
D Major" by Brahms, last night. The
| strings showed strength and smooth CO.
| ordination, and they are outstandingly
| important in Brahms. The beautiful
| melodies were clearly limned and the
changes in tempo and mood were nicely
achieved. 1t was very enjoyable per-
| Torrance.
The other lengthy number was
| Brahms Concerto for Violin and Or
| chestra in d Major" The soloist was
Herman r. Hoffman, who has a rich
| singing tone at his command. There
were many moments when he brought
out the poetic phrases charmingly. AT
| times, however, his tone did not rise
quite as strongly as one might have
wished over the supporting orchestra.
| This may have been because the orches-
| ira played a little too loudly. On the
other hand, it may have been because
Mr.. Hoffman spends most Of his time
| in ensemble work and does not develop
the individuality of his talent as much
| as he might. He undoubtedly has
marked gift and skill. The intricate
cadenzas Of the Brahms work are very
| difficult, and at best the work has its
stodgy moments. However, there are also
moments of rich beauty, especially in
| the first and third movements, and it
is always interesting to hear this con-
certo performed. Mr.. Hoffman received
| prolonged ovation.
The opening number was the "Aca-
demic Festival Overture" which was
well given. The Marines Hymn" and
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" closed the
| program. III. r.
