There's Right
and Wrong in
Sports Garb

There is a ritual Of dress for spe-
cific sports that no whole-hearted
player cares to overlook.
Embroidered null on the golf
course would be as much Of a boner
as high heels, from the sophisticated
point Of view, and Stacks and a
sweat shirt would stand out like
hoop skirts on the correct tennis
court.
One thing all sports clothes have
in common. They permit the wearer
to move easily, even violently, with
out rending seams and falling over
length of dangling f1nery.
Except for Stacks and shorts, belt
ed at the waist over shirts that poke
down generously around the hips,
sport clothes are loose and slippery
at the waistline so that they will
fall back into place after lusty driv-
ing or smashing serves.
The light weight, but sturdy shoes
that have come to the sports woman
in this years models are latter
day boon.
If a sole is flexible and thick,
what good does a breathless upper
Of lined, heavy leather do her labor
ing feet?
The much perforated, unlined, cut
out, glove-fitting feathers that fash
ion ghillies, oXfords, and even
brogue models nowadays ought to
add miles of tramping strength to
any womans performance.

If child is taught never to put
his hands to his face-let me accent
this, by the way, very strongly
think that mothers need not be
afraid of a little dirt
There stays in my mind the
picture of family I saw in the
south. The father had mule,
blowing. The mother was carrying
bundle of sticks across the field
toward the little cabin-for firewood,
I suppose.
And four little children, all under
5 or 6, were sitting right out in the
soft loan playing.
They had nothing on, I am sure,
but the merest shells Of clothes,
certainly no shoes or stockings. The
sun was out hot and strong, their
faces were dirty, and they were all
laughing.
Dirty and Healthy
1t did my heart good to see them,
because someway it seemed to me
that was where they belonged. Fat,
dirty, healthy young nimals getting
vitamins straight from nature and
not having it doled out in ounces
by trained nurse who said
naughty" whenever a spot ap-
peared on a clean pinafore.

dren having ground to play on
yes, mud, if it's warm-and little
puddles to wade in and only few
buds to bother them.
One good bath a day and an
occasional washing of hands and
faces ought to keep them in fairly
good order.
We weary the life out of them
with our own completes about
smudges and spots. Like a good
many other things in life, we go in
for the superfiuous, the extraneouS,
and the artificial, and we have
drained away the vital things.
Mother Earth First
I believe in sanitation and anti
septics because under our present
condition of herding into cities
with their lack of air and sun
shine, they seem to be necessary,
but they will never take the place
of Mother Earth.
When I see an Immaculate child
walking prinnly along the concrete
beside its mother or nurse, I want
to grab it and whisk it out to a
muddy field or a grassy plot some
where and say. Enjoy yourself

WHAT'S IN FASHION,
Tailored EUening FrOckS

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Never can
4 tell what the youngsters will do
next. Just as you get it fixed in
your mind, for instance, that you're
going to see them fiutter through
all the summer evenings in ruffly
feminine cotton, who do they do?
Turn right around-as they have
this summer-and get themselves
some trinity tailored evening dresses.
Simple, sophisticated, different,
suiting them to T. And every
body likes it.
Of course the skirts of these
tailored evening frocks are long
and fairly full. But without ruffles
or flares. Cut in unusual sections
fitted together so fatty that you'd
think they were starting to knit"
that way.
Necklines Are Higher
When you see the dresses from
the front, you think. What con-
sentative necklines!" Rather high,
often just showing the hollows of
sun-tanned Threats. And some
times with new square necks.
If there's any trimming, it's usual
ly in broad bands across the Shout
ders.
But when they whirl about and
dance away, you see that these
young fashions contradict them
selves, true to form. For the backs
are cut very low.
After the dance is over. you'll
notice little jackets pulled over these
tailored evening dresses. Short, as a
rule, and of the same material as
the dress.
Venture Below Waist
Some of the newest of these
jackets, however, venture below the
waist, as you'll see in the sketch.
This is a frock Of soft pink semi
sheer crepe, making Ann Harding,
stage and screen star, look more
blond than ever. The longer Jacket
is of a deep wine-colored velvet
the new, dull surfaced velvet.
Helen Barclay, movie actress and
wife of McClelland Barclay whose
paintings you have often admired,
wears a tailored evening frock of
white pique.
Even the belt is a straight, flat
buckled type such as you might see
on a street dress. Bands of ragged
pique flowers over the shoulders
are the only trimming on this fiat
tering frock.
Thin WOoIens to Be Used
Piques, eyelet batiste, corded cot
tons, the semi-sheer and chalk crepes
are oftenest used for these evening
frocks, though Chanel makes them
in heavy silk Sheers. And as fall
comes on, many women will wear
them in thin woolens, too.
White, which has such a corner
on fashions for summer, is used
most often, although many smart
women like to make evening affairs
more colorful by wearing those cool
looking ice-pastels and some of the
deeper pastels.
Watch for these tailored evening
fashions at dances and summer
Weddings. See if you don't agree
that once again the young folks
have picked a winner!

By NEA SerCtce
ERESH flowers can be waxed
Il and preserved indefinitely
by the following method:
First melt number of good
quality candles, removing the
wicks after the wax has melted.
Collect the flowers and remove
from them any trace of mois-
ture.
Let the wax cool down so
that it is just liquid. and
quite bit cooler than its boil
ing point. If flowers are placed
in wax too hot, the leaves will
Shrivel.
Flowers are dipped in the
wax, both bloom and stem.
After dipping, wave them
around in the air for a few
minutes and, when the wax
sets, a thin, invisible film will
cover the flowers.
