Women Cricketers Have First "Dress Rehearsal"
For Australian Tour
London, June 26.
Most of the women cricketers who are touring Aus- tralia in October had their first "dress-rehearsal” on Trent Bridge ground, Nottingham, on June 21. They took part in the North and Midland v. South and East match, which the southerners won by nine wickets. The girls wore the official Test match uniform-white divided skirts, skirt blouses with short sleeves, and long white cotton stock- ings (compulsory). Not a trace of lipstick or powder could be detected on any of their suntanned, freckled faces. "There is no actual rule about make-up," a player explain- ed, "but we never wear any."
