I PICK A

WIMBLEDON

WINNER..

TERE is my tip for the Wimbledon fashion winner I this year....the sleeveless bush shirt, worn belted over brief shorts or pleated skirt. It is boyish, casual and smart, a pleasant contrast to the frilly pants, flared Empire-line dresses and coloured petticoats of recent years.

Other interesting fashions ut Wimbledon this year will be tailored undershorts and snow-white, proofed gaberdine

windcheaters,

Anne Shllcock. Shirley Bloomer

and Pat Ward,

playing fo Englund, will wear these sleek undershorts beneath their

dreasca.
