Household Hints
Sports Togs For All-Around Wear
By MARIAN YOUNG
NEA Service Stan Corresponds

rS@@~-trAaN
 New York = The chic woman builds her vacation and weekend wardrobe on a firm foundation of classic sports clothes-the kind of outfits that do not become dated after one season, or even three, and of which she doesn't tire all too 1 quickly.
 A simple, perfectly tailored sports suit in a good quality lightweight wool and some equally well-tailored flannel slacks which may be worn with the suit coat form an ideal backlog for any sports wardrobe Given these as a nucleus, any wise shopper soon can build an adequate wardrobe for any kind of holiday, from a casual weekend in the coun- try to long vacation at swank resort.
 It takes careful planning, of course. And a preference for few things of excellent quality rather than wide variety of novelties"
 Before you buy single item, make two complete lists. One of the sports clothes you know you can buy, and the other of the clothes you would like to have eventually. The color scheme selected for the first list should be followed, or at least kept in mind, as you make the second.
 ITEMS SHOULD BE
 INTERCHANGEABLE
 For example, if you can have a suit, slacks, one sweater and one blouse right now, be sure that the pieces are interchangeable. You ought to plan to wear the sweater and the blouse with the skirt as well as with the slacks. And, of course, the suit coat ought to be perfect when worn with the slacks.
 Later on, you'll buy separate sports coat, perhaps in a plaid, check, or striped woolen. You'll be able to wear it with slacks or suit skirt. If the time comes when you feel that you can afford another skirt, let it be in a color that har- monizes with the plain jacket and the more recently acquired plaid. Never let bargains tempt you to buy a sweater or blouse in shade which cannot be worn with every thing you have. That is, unless your budget is unlimited.
 FILL IN WITH
 ACCESSORIES
 Once you have the basic sports clothes, you can begin to acquire small, less expensive novelties with which to make the classics look quite different from time to time. A smart little halter, gay bandanna, smart and unusual belt, cotton knit sweater, printed cotton bolero these, and similar types of access sories, are what you'll be looking out for.
 As your one vacation and week. end evening gown, you may choose foundation type of dress in a sheer, soft, chiffon wool. It won't wrinkle when packed and, without looking bulky, will provide the warmth usually needed after sum- down in the country, at the sea- shore or in the mountains. To this you'll add two or three pert little jackets-perhaps a striped taffeta one in red, white and blue, the new est color, combination for summer.
