in the matter of sport; that she would ever boast several of the greatest world's champions and defeat visiting inter- national teams and individuals was never suspected until these things actually did happen. Now France is as great a sporting nation as any other, and that this sentiment is encouraged by her leaders is evidenced by the fact that shorts and physical drill are not only made compulsory in the boys' schol but in all Government girls' schools as well.
As in most other matters, the French Are developing their individuality in their sporting clothes "just as much us in their sporting methods, and proving by the practical sensibleness and grace of the former that England will have to look to her laurels if she wants to re- main the country superior to all others where sporting clothes are designed and made. Suzanne Lenglen alone, both in her methods and her dress, amounts almost to a revolution. Former women champions seemed to depend on a sense of accuracy in returning the ball plus an ability to keep up a rally a sufficient length of time to tire out their oppon ent Mile Lengles, on the contrary, seems to play almost entirely at the net and dazzles her opponent with the quick unexpectedness and lightening-like rapidity of the placing of her strokes. No woman player has ever before dared to adopt her style and equally, no woman player has ever before dared to appear in a costume so entirely in- dividual and original.
The little French champion has quite discarded the traditional tennis costume and adopted one that is so simple that one wonders why such a model was not. thought of long ago, especially as it can easily be made by any girl with clever fingers, plus a few yards of material and a serap of ribbun.

The Lenglen tennis "frock is a piece affair, the skirt, of which is fairly wide and reaching to about three inches! below the knees. The fulness of the skirt is drawn into small knite pleats, So that ample width is aceded the player for any unusual bounds, whilst at the same time, the skirt is prevented by this method from blowing about or catching in the wearer's legs. blouse, which is joined on to a very low and wide waist-band, is a straight-cut Magyar affair, made with a rounded-out neck, and very short, fairly wide sleeves. Round her waist Mile.. Lengles wears a band of white ribbon, which she ties in a loose bow.at the side. She chooses a fairly heavy quality of drill or linen so that she need not wear any encumbering petticoat underneath to guard against its transparency. The colour chosen is, of course, always white. When she first starts to play, Mlle. Lenglen wears over this a loose jumper in Shetland wool, but she discards this later when she be gins to warin up to her exercise. Round her bend she" rear-the same colour IS her sweater-a band of ribbon, that covery all ir forehead and holds her hair so well in place that no mesh can ever stray loose, embarrass her or make her baulk over a slike. Thus equipped, the young tennis enthusiast need never fear that either her clothes or that other! troublesome consideration. ber bair, will get in her way when she is playing her favourite game..
England still decides what men shall pr shall not wear on sporting fields. For tennis, the very Intest idea is a jersey that is in heavy wool and that has been entirely hand-knitted, a favourite pattern being the cable stitch. Round the cuffs and the deep-eut neck à band of colour or colours is introduced.. I saw the Duke of Westminster playing recently at Nice, and the jersey he was wearing was in eriam wool inlet in this way with the Oxford colours."
For that matter, the latest idea for all wear is the hand-knitted sweater, and the women who learnt or developed the art of Knitting during the war, are 'now clicking their knitting needles in a busy effort to turn out charming sweaters in wool and silk. There is very little shape to these models, and for that reason they are within the scope of the most ele mentary knitter. A long straight pice is knitted, only a slackening off in a V at the neck being necessary; this is then juined together as the sides, leav ing a space to form the arm-hole; on to this is added a deep band of crochet worked in an insertion pattern; which is joined so that it forms the sleeve, and a similar band is added as décoration to the bottom of the body part of the sweater. The
sweaters "home-made which are the rage of London are begin- ning to find, favour in the critical eyes of Parisiennex The only fault with them is that, on account of their being so easy and economical to make, there will be a danger of their becoming more or les common property...
