BRAIDED ELASTIC
MAKES DANDY BELT

Golf is a game where enthusi-
asts are offered more accessories
season than can be squeezed into
a dozen clubroom lockers. All are
intended to improve buffers
game, but most of them turn out
to be gadgets that fail their pur-
pose.
One really successful accessory,
however, that will be very much in
evidence on the golf course this
summer, is a belt made of braid
ed, silk-covered, elastic cord. The
belt looks like one of the corded
belts so popular this season for
sports wear. The rubber cord sup
plies the extra give" that every
sportsman seeks, and makes for
maximum playing comfort.
The belts come in the lead
ing summer colors, including black
and white combination, polar bear,
marine blue and plain white.

shorts. The most practical have
matching jackets reaching just to
the bottom of the suits as you see
pictured to the right in the group.
This model is of disappointed, de-
pendably washable silk crepe. The
shorts are pleated and the loose,
matching swagger jacket has
youthful Peter Pan collar.
For the girl with a perfect figure
there are also the silk lastex suits
which fit the body like glove and
have touches of dressmaker detail
at the bosom. The newest trick is
to wear them with ones jewels.
There is such a variety in silk
bathing and beach suits this sum-
mer that you can have two or three
entirely different types in your out
ing wardrobe.
Pajamas are a Unjust have" for
a vacation outfit, whether they are
elaborate models that must stay on
the beach or in the cabana, or the
womanlike strictly tailored types
that can safely receive guests in

formally at an intimate friends.
They are made in tailored silk lin
ems, silk standings, novelty sports
silks, silk crepes.
Bathing suits with halter bodices
and wrap-around skirts made of
print silks in gay peasant design
are also very goodlooking, and add
infinitely to the picturesque beach
panorama.
The craze for prints increases
rather than languishes. 1t seems
to be prints for everything and in
stead of growing weary of them
there is that in them that intrigues
more and more as the season pro-
crosses. If the entire costume be
not of print then fashion offers
compromise in the way of access
series of vivid silk print. Such ac-
cents as belt, triangle scarf and
bag of colorful silk print enliven
many costumes.

MIDSUMMER means sports,
~ and this year sportswear in
the fashion picture means silks,
for every outdoor activity from
golf to swimming or just lazing
about.
The smart golfer, this season,
wears simple shirtwaist frock of
washable end-to-end or striped silk
shifting or of classic silk crepe of
marvellous quality or some one or
other of the new linenlike silks, if
not silk shantung. These smart
and practical silk shirtmaker
dresses often have fly fronts,
tucked bosoms and pockets for
your golf tees as the model CEN
tered in the picture displays. Blue
silk crepe fashions this stylish
and practical frock.
Very feminine and graceful for
tennis are short dresses of soft
silk weaves such as silk jacquards
or Chinese silk damasks which are
light, cool and comfortable. They
are usually cut short, with sun
back decolletage, offering a re-
freshing contrast on the courts to
the shorts and Stacks that are so
commonly worn. New for the ten
mis- enthusiast is a white jacquard
silk crepe frock cut on princess
lines with gored handling, the
jacquard patterning showing lively
little tennis-playing figures. See a
model of this description to the
left in the Illustration. Note it has
a squared decolletage and wide
shoulder straps. Culottes are also
practical choice for tennis
dresses.
For beach and bathing very
smart women are wearing silk.
The newest mode going is the little
dressmaker suits fashioned whim-
sically of plain or printed silk
crepes, silk standings and other
novelty silks. Kind to the figure
are they, being made in one piece

Blue Jeans Sportswear Is
Popular With Young Folks

Of particular interest to young
people is the blue jeans sportswear
worn by many of the debutantes.
With these navy blue jeans are
worn shirts of every shade popu-
lar this year, with contrasting as
cots and scarves. A popular head
dress is the halo in various col
ors and materials, which keeps the
hair from blowing in the eyes, and
is very attractive. For the very
active amusements, sneakers are
popular, with navy and white the
predominant colors.
The tailored suit for weekend
trips is much in evidence, as are
culottes, tennis dresses and the
highly practical three-piece dresses
with shirts, shorts and skirts.

Danish Tibet Scapegoat
When Crops Are Failure

When the crops fail, or other
trouble comes on the people of
Tibet, the tribe assemblies and a
goat led by black rope is brought
before them by it's owner.
The man pleads for it's lite, and
very likely in the distant past he
may have brought his goat as a
substitute for the sacrifice of his
own. But now the only punish
ment is the Punishment of the goat
from the flock.
A white rope is substituted for
the black one. The goat is then
gayly adorned and, having been
well fed, is driven off to the hills,
an exile. No one may touch it or
lay q load on it. 1t is q wanderer

doing penance for the sins of the
people.
In other parts of Tibet there used
to be, and may be still, scape-
man. He was one who was either
destitute or had done some wrong.
Like the goat, he was first well fed
and then compelled to roam for
three years in Central Tibet, a
banished man, who would have
found it hard to live in the bitter
winter, but whom none would help.

Fashions for girls are playing up
nautical themes. 1t is said that
"back to school" clothes will adopt
such details as lacings and ma
rine insignia. The sailor suit in
navy and white of linen or light

will remain important throughout
fall. The "gob" beret in white

ends over the hair at back is ever
so smart to wear with the new

beautiful cousin. the European smoke
tree.
Early in the Spring the trees are
especially charming. They are covered
with masses of dark blue flowers. The
tree is another one that believes in
protecting itself with bayonets. and
no one is willing to advance toward
the tree that has developed sharp
thorns. So the flowers are admired
and let alone. Perhaps the only rea-
son why the tree has been spared
to us is the very fact that her flowers
come at too high a price.
Only one flower in hundred sets
seeds. Now you can see the reasons
for the bayonets. There are male and
female flowers-on separate trees.
When the fruits are matured you
do not find seeds in a coated con-
tainer. Instead, there is feathery
development of the bracts. They look
like beautiful feathery plumes. and
they are tinted an exquisite pinkish
green. Seen from a distance, the
effect is delicate mist, or rosy haze.

Manicuring
Sinplified
By Routine
Well-Groomed Nails
Enhances Beauty
of Hands.
RY ELSIE PIERCE.

YOU'D think that southerners would
be the most deeply tanned of all
the year round. But "'taint So"
Way down in Dixie you'll find some
Of the fairest hands and faces in the
world. That's because they give their
appearance very intelligent and regu-
lar care, make beauty as much mat
ter Of course as stretching and dress
ing in the morning. The persistent
regularity of the routine is what
makes matters work. Which is in
line with the theory we have been
preaching, 10, these many years.
AS we've often said, hands respond
quickly to regular care. Soft, smooth
skin, perfect nails-that's all you need
for hand beauty. Size and shape
doesn't matter. Grace of movement
is something else again, however. And
grace is something that Southern
aristocratS are taught-gestureS, move
ment in classic dancing, in speech
courses.
Gentility is byword. In manners,
in complexion and hand care. Just as
they protect their skin and hair from
the sun, cleanse with the gentlest of
fathers, pat the face with tissue cream,
ever so gently, so they give their nails
gentle manicure" File and scissors
are avoided, because steel instruments
may injure the nail imperceptibly,
often at the nail bed under the cuticle.
That may increase the tendency to
splitting and peeling. Cutting the
cuticle also serves to harden it and
often causes hangnailS. Cuticle should
outline the nail delicately--a thin
frame. Don't push it back when it
Is dry. Massage with an oily cuticle
remover which looSens the excess
cuticle and at the same time supplies
it with helpful residue OF softening
oil. Massage with thumb of opposite
hand, using gentle, rotary motion.
Then dip a cotton-tipped orange stick
in the remover and work away the
deadened excess. Rinse the hands
and wipe away the loosened particles
with a soft towel. A minute or two
every day. and you'll soon get so used
to this cuticle treatment it will be
habit with you. and you'll keep the
cuticle smooth and even. ThereW be
no need for cutting.
Briefly, here's the gentle manicure
routine which should be followed once
a week: File nails with rough side of
emery board, not a steel file. Use
other side to smooth edges. Emery
board should not touch cuticle or skin
Buff nails with powder polish. I'm
merse in warm, soapy water. Scrub
and dry nails. Use oily cuticle re-
mover to work back cuticle and clean
nail tips. Apply with cotton-tipped
orange stick. Apply nail white under
nail. Scrub hands again and 60 over
nails with oily polish remover to pre-
pare for liquid polish. Apply the
polish with light. even strokes. When
polish is dry apply cuticle oil, mas
