A
NY time is ten- nis time, now. The annual question of shorts vorsus dresses for the courts is cropping up again.
*If you have any doubts as to which suits you best, let me tell you that if your figure is slim or just stock measures and you are of averago height you can wear shorts with great success. but if you are inclined to be plump, and are on the short side, stick to frocks.
Here are both to choose from, and I have specially selected the designs. There are many different cuts in shorts, but for beauty and usefulness a pleated style is hard to beat,

pleated as well, so you get a skirt effect when standing still, a much prettler line altogether than a severely tailored model without fullness.
A well cut open neck blouse goes well with this, but also included is a skirt buttoning from waist shown in the left hand sketch, SD that you can slip it on over your tennis costume and it saves you the bother of changing,
Those who are taking an early holiday should keep this set in mind as it is an excellent deck outfit if you go on a cruise, and maken up well in both dark and bright colours.

USEFUL TO KNOW
SHABBY leather suit-case can be made to lock quite smart if well- the it is rubbed over with beaten white of an egg. Then polish with beeswax and turpentine. Fer the final polish, use a soft cloth and plenty of "elbow-grense."
Always iron face and embroidery on the wrong side and use a thick flannel pad to raise the pattern.
Cheese will not go mouldy if the cut part is rubbed with butter and the cheese wrapped in white paper. It should be kept in a dry place.
A polishing glove sewn over with odd scraps of chamois leather is most useful when rubbing up furniture.
Cold boiled potatoes used instead of soap will keep the hands white and smooth.
Lettuces can be kept fresh if they are put into a brown paper bag und kept in a tin till required.
The cords of window sasher will Last much longer if they are rubbed
up and down with Soap frequently.
Fresh flowero should be cut with a sharp knife, for scissors compress the stems of the flowers and prevent the water from reaching the blooms. Paint brushes will last a long ume If they are cleaned in linseed oil. Then wash them well in warm soapy water. Rinse all the soap out, and then leave them in clean cold water for a few minutes. Straighten out the hairs, and dry by pressing with a clean cloth.
Add washing blue to the water for cleaning windows and it will make them bright and cleor.
