Molla Mallory, the former United
States champion, knows what it takes
to conquer your opponent, and the
grandstand. She thinks the comfort
of shorts with the grace of a skirt
does it, with plenty Of pleats and
darts for perfect freedom. They are
making outfits now with an invisible
upper fastening all the way down the
front. There is a choice of short
sleeves or no sleeves, and as to fabric
you may have pique, broadcloth and a
number Of others, including gabardine,
which is very popular this season.
N THE photograph above the shorts
and shirts are made of sharkskin
and. no doubt, before the game gets
under way the pretty neckerchief will
come of. When the game is over there
will be bright sweater or Jacket to
throw around the shoulders.
Knee-length dresses are we'll liked
this season, and both these and the
fuller shorts are replacing the straight.
tight fitting variety for which all girls
without beautiful legs will be duly
thankful.
Bright green visors, belts and socks
were used as contrasting accessories
for the all-white suit in a recent New
York sports showing, and suits as low
as s298 were given prominence, as
we'll as the more expensive models,
emphasizing again the rightness of
| the costume for the occasion, rather
| than the necessity for a large outlay
Of money
The side lines will afford the riot
Of gay color that is always associated
with outdoor sports. Spectator sports
clothes make the audience look like a
flower garden at its height. OF course,
there will be lots of white, too, but It
will be spiced with wine red, with navy
blue and with black. Printed cottons
and linens in bold or small patterns
often Use white linen jackets. In New
York the bright -colored alligator
handbag and shoes accent many
white suits and are considered very
smart.
For the woman frankly over 40 who
continues her interest in sporting side
lines We saw lovely color scheme
the other day. A stunning looking
woman with well-coiffed gray hail
was wearing one of those indispensable
shirt-Waist frocks of powder blue with
a bright green hat and green scar.
tucked inside the collar. It was cool
smart and spirited enough to please
the most critical Of the young people
in her party.

And speaking Of country clubs
Vassar College campus has PRACTICAL,
