A MOTHER outfit Is bold cross
striped sports coat in red. green
and yellow but mostly red that Is worn
with q green suede skirt that buttons
up the front. This made quite . hit
at special showing at one OF the local
shops yesterday.
Also shown at the review was q
novel hat and bag set made of India
print cotton and worn with q mink
coat! Such is the inconsistency OF
fashion. Although made of cotton
these hats and bags in rich East In
dian colors have q warmth that Is
generally associated with heavier tex
lures and do not, at a glance, suggest
cotton. The close fitting turban with
twisted roll of red around the face
which was most attractive and the
peasant type bag, were suggested as
suitable for wearing rs you start out
on your trip, and then to accompany
your light sports clothes upon your
arrival at your Southern destination
Among other things we noticed
that the details Of belts, collars and
pockets are receiving q lot of stten-
ton. Belts especially are very differ
ent looking with all sorts Of appliqued
crocheted and painted designs in gay
colors both on the fabric of the dress
and on patent leather. This Is even
seen on the formal frocks, where a
charming coral chiffon was belted In
gold kid with o repeated design In
turquoise and gold jeweled settings.
A lovely figured silk jersey formal,
white with dark blue and dark red
paisley pattern used Q belt, blue
patent leather, with design painted In
white.
SPEAKING of silk jersey. this ma
terial Is proving very popular for
Southern resort wear due to the fact
that it Is so crush-resistant and can
be depended upon to arrive In good
condition and not require much at
tention thereafter. We found it in a
good looking two-piece ensemble con-
sisting Of q dress Of checked blue and
black on white with q buttoned-ou
three-quarter length cape. The but
tons were In the shape Of white
hearts, two on each side. Another
white silk jersey sport frock is dag
onally striped at 3-inch intervals with
lines Of black and uses q narrow
black leather belt.
Peasant colors are used to good ad-
vantage to brighten up the all-white
silk or cotton sports dress. Three colors
Of narrow ribbon stitched to form the
front Of the belt is one way Of doing it.
The white crepe alphabet frock is
amusing with five green buttons down
the front Of the shirt closing. The
pockets on this frock are good, too,
being . couple Of overlapping squares
on either side.
Beach ensembles are favoring the
bra and shorts with long coat after
the designs Of our house coats. The
upper part is tight fitting with q long
full skirt gathered at the waistline.
These come In figured pique and the
usual beach cottons. A particularly
good looking play suit Is in white. dull
finished cotton on the pongee order
with many-gored shortish skirt, and
well-cut halter with heavy bright blue
:ord and an adorable little white bolero
jacket. also . blue cord to tie about the
waist.
In addition to the culotte We have
this season the plus-fours. They come
In navy blue jersey with short Jackets
Of the same material, or you may wear
any sort Of sport shirt. They are also
shown In heavy wooden twills for ski
ing. They come separately or with
their own Jackets in two-piece suits.
The jackets are apt to be quite abbre-
Waited and one Of them in French blue
over dark. blue trousers, Is double
breasted with wide revers, and marrow
twin belts. one Of gray. the other Of
blue.
