COttOns Favored
For Beach Wear

Cottons have practically taken
over the beach scene in play clothes,
because of the little girl mode, but
the most striking demonstration of
this fabric will be found in the
beach robes and coats. One robe
which has shared considerable at
tention in the news is the white
terry cloth beach coat which won
second prize for Ida A. Brown of
El Dorado, Kans., in recent
school contest. The coat was trim
med with Rico red adapted from a
Lapp woman's winter costume, said
to be replica of costume made for
Crown Princess Martha of Norway.
Beach robes promise to furnish a
startling conglomeration of bold
prints, gypsy stripes and plain colors
in cottons and linens of the rougher
type. with ginghams and smooth
cottons in checks lined for warmth.

Long Sleeves Make News In Latest Sportswear

Along with vacations, leghorn

another good thing you can say

them slacks, but they have achieved

due to the exquisite tailoring and
general significance of all sports
clothes this season.
Play togs are really an essential
part of the wardrobe Stacks. shorts,
dresses and swim suits all reflect the
newest fashion trends seen in
"dressy" clothes, and, in addition,
create few snappy ones of their
own.

At luncheon recently, the question
was raised as to whether they
would wrinkle when thus rolled up,
but the consensus seemed to be
that new materials are designed to
resist such unsightly results. At any
rate, they're news that you won't
want to overlook.
Swim suits are either cut daringly
and boast new color combinations
or they are the fussy, little -girlish
dressmaker types In the former,
we've seen some charming shark
skin models that mold the figure
beautifully. 1t is in the latter, how
ever, that fashion has exerted itself
to present suits trimmed with ric-
rae, some even boasting tiny, short
sleeves. Play suits are often of red
and white checked gingham, and the
new pleated shorts are flatteringly
we'll cut.
Over these you will be tempted
to wear one of two things. Either

just reach to the edge Of your suits,
or the new terry cloth robes that
have all the charm of evening
wraps. The former are particularly
smart. Many of the bathing suits
have matching coats or those of
contrasting colors lined with the
material. Some are hooded and all
are really the 'last word" in beach
clothes. New terry cloth robes fea-
ture smart buttons down the front

done in soft greens, blues, white
and other pastel shades, to name
but few. Even overalls come in
for their share of attention and
shades of Farmer Brown! some
are trimmed with ruffles!
1t pains us to say that there will
be many of us, especially in sizes
over 40, who will not find the new
play clothes becoming. For them,
and for many others, classic shirt
waist dresses are advocated. Here,

seems almost to indicate that a
prediction by Designer Elizabeth
Hawes may come true. She declared
recently, you know, that slack en-
sembles would, in few years, be
generally worn, even for business.
OF course, this is a dim prospect
at the moment, but with the in
creasing enthusiasm for new slacks,
and especially when they are worn
with smart and dressy long -sleeved
blouses, it doesn't seem so improb-
able. Soft silk blouses of this type
worn with shorts give you all the
appeal of a demure second-grade
student with the sophistication of a
fashion-consciouS woman.
AS far as practicability is con-
cerned, they have two definite ad-
vantages. One, for girls who must

their adoption. If this welcome atti-
tude continues to spread all over
the country, we may, eventually, be
spared the horrors encountered in
recent years-horrors that include
bright red sleeveless riding Jackets
and velvet huntsman's caps on ladies
hacking blithely through the park on
hired horses, high-heeled. toeless
sandals with slacks or shorts, spike

Suggestions for
Correct Garb.
In the following pages you will
ind the answer to all this "what-to-
wear-for-sports' problem. WASH
ington shops are doing their best to
fill your needs in this respect. Women
who are outstanding in various ath-
letlc fields here in the city have been
asked for their opinion of the proper
clothing for each sport, and have
been kind enough to discuss it fully
for your benefit.
Of course, as a rule, women who
have seriously gone in for a sport
realize its requirements. But a be-
ginner may often be very much at
a losS-and that is why we have
sought the answer from experts, so
that you may start off, this summer,
with your best foot foremost, both
literally and figuratively. There is
nothing like the self-conf1dence that
is born of knowing you are dressed
exactly according to Hoyle
And a word to the spectator
sportswoman.' She, too, should bear
few fundamentals in mind when
choosing her costume for looking on.
Fancy afternoon dresses have no
place at country race meets, al
though they may be appropriate at
a special polo or tennis match at
some very swanky country club. 1t
is always safer to under rather than
over dress-and as rule simplicity
is the keynote at any sports event.
And there is no doubt about it
"by their shoes We shall know them"
Nothing is surer giveaway than
high heels and fussy slippers out of
their element Follow the general
trend of footgear worn by partici-
pants, and be shod accordingly. And
remember--if you don't want your
host to commit mental murder,
you'll never, never wear high heels
and leather soles on decks or tennis
courts.

Hints to Members of
Country Clubs

Locker room etiquette is Some-
thing worth knowing if you want to
be popular with your fellow sports
women. Remember that you are
not the only one desiring to shower
after a hard game, so have some
consideration for the other person
and don't spend the day in the
shower When you have finished

busy do it yourself. She is not your
personal maid and therefore is not
expected to do lot of sewing or
pressing on any of your clothes. If
it is only a question of doing a
stitch or two of repair work, she
will be glad to help, as that is one
of the reasons why she is there.
When you have finished redress
ing, put your clothes into your bag
and place it out of the way. Give
your sport shoes to the maid and
she will clean them, afterward plac-
ing them in your locker. If you
haven't a locker and expect to take
them with you, tell the maid how
long you expect to remain at the
club, asking her if it is possible to

Ing dS d Sports IOWIl. lOQdV II is
ready to take its place with any
city in the country as an athletic
center, with special emphasis on
the amateur side.
Washington has its professional
sports. It's had the Senators ever
since the American League was
started in 1901. 1t has the Red
skins in the National Football
League and the Brewers in the
American Basket Ball League 1t
has its fighters. who still are seek
ing the elusive titles, and its golfers.
But Washington, as a whole, is an
amateur town.
Golf Ranks High
In Importance.
1t may be that Washington's golf
ing clientele is one of the most
spirited in the world 1t is a town
of golfing mothers and daughters,
fathers and sons. Ever since golf
grew up from the inside society
pages to the f1Sst sports pages in the
last 26 years the Capital reared an
attentive head and went right along

Fifteen years ago a field of 40 was
considered to have made success

estate item is the combined value
of Washingtons golfing layouts. 1t
amounts to a conservative $4,000 900.
Washington is a horseback riding
mecca, located centrally in the heart
of the timber-topping country. Few
cities, If any, have superior bride
paths, a larger and finer choice of
mounts and more expert horsemen
and horsewomen. Polo point

fox hunts indoor horse shows
outdoor equine carnivals. Wash
ington embraces them all.
Shooting among the front rank in
spectator and competitive interest is
boating, which virtually was forced
to blaze it's own way. In the be-
ginning Washington struggled with
poor water front, antiquated har-
bor regulations and pollution. The
boat owners, increasing in number,
commanded attention, and now a
water front in keeping with the
beauty of the Capital is being con-
structed.
Bowling Growing
Very Popular.
No minor sport in Washington is
duckpin bowling. With more than
$4,000 men and women rolling at
least once a week in league COM
petition, the Capital ranks as Amer
ica's No. duckpin center. 1t has
embraced most of the champions
and ranking boWlers over long
period of years and, instead of losing
its grip as the sport continues to
spread, it is tightening that hold.
While bowling is growing elsewhere
it is growing at a double-quick pace
here.
