surprising to find her neutral on
the subject.
AS in all other phases of sport,
fashion plays an important part in
tennis. When it comes to just the
right things to wear, Miss Ellis
knows the answers, for she has been
an active participant in the game
since she was big enough to hold a
racket. Personally, she wears shorts,
and, in fact, has never worn skirts
to play. But 1 do think skirts look
better on the majority of people"
she explained. The reason l have
never worn them is because I can't
find one l like" Miss Ellis believes
that it really depends upon the type
of person, but thinks that while
skirts are prettier. shorts are def
nitely more comfortable. They
should be full and little longer
than the shorts worn on the beach"
she said. When skirts are worn,
they should be just a little above
the knee to afford the utmost in
comfort. There has also been some
talk of playing in slacks, but Miss
Ellis feels that our torrid Washing
ton temperatures would prohibit
these as far as comfort is concerned,
Il think they would be too warm
for Washington, she remarked, but
don't believe that they would ham

careful tailoring is shown. These

or leisurely ones in the country.
Polka dots. incidentally, are very
adaptable to this type of costume.
For spectator sports these can't be
beat and they are always important
in a fashion sense.
Just a few more things should be
considered when you buy and wear
your active or spectator sports togs.
Chief "don'ts" to remember are
these:
Inspect the new models, but don't
buy something that is unbecoming.
Sport clothes are more revealing
and difficult to wear than any others.
Learn to minimize your bad points
and emphasize the good ones.
LOOK at the back. Don't think Just
because the front looks we'll the back
will correspond. This is important
IN all your clothes, but especially in
slacks.
Don't forget to take your pro-
tective lotion, beach hat and dark
glasses when you plan sun-seeking
expedition.
Don't wear high-heeled slippers
with shorts. Especially when there
are so many smart sport shoes.
Don't ignore the fashion interest

Tennis Stars Prefer Light
Equipment and Dress

Lightness, in both equipment and
dress, is the predominating note of
what the well-prepared tennis player
will use and wear this season.
Despite the preference of some
older and experienced netmen for
IA and Is ounce rackets, the trend
definitely is toward the lighter
weight type, with 13 ounces repre-
senting the standard weight for the
average player. Davis Cup stars
often use bats" about 1874 ounces,
with the better women players de-
string frames fractions of ounces
lighter than their male colleagues.
The circumference of the grip varies
from Az to 4a4 inches, with a 5-inch
neck being called for ever so often.
There are three grades of gut for
three classes of players. Tournament
players, who give racket all the
wear and tear it can stand, use
chrome-tWist gut, a super-special
type of filling which sells for So.
An average player uses the split
lamb gut, which costs about So less.
Either one of these types of players.
however, will have their rackets re-
strung from half a dozen to two
dozen times a year, unless-like the
best-they possess half a dozen rack

A beginner, however, will do we'll
to have his racket strung with silk.
1t not only is cheaper. for it can be
strung for about $3.50 but it is
tougher than the more expensive
kinds. 1t does not have, however, the
resiliency of gut.
