ersatility in Sports Apparel
Plainness No Longer Distinguishes Attire For the Big Outdoors
HE "dreisnaker" sports apparel is the
Tatest witors to the indicate, feminine
styles for summer days that Dane Fal ion orders for Milady-of Chic.
Each garment today tucks, gathers, incrusts or hand-decorates itself until it is an individ ual piece of fine workmatechip and a credit to any lady. Versatility is the watchword of ' modern sport wear.
Lingerie touches on sweater costumes are excellent. The sweater with crepe de chine or organdie collar and cuffs is the new one. Pockets with bow-knot decoration are an it novation. Sccking on skists and nervures an bodices are a novel union in a single dos Furne
Striped shirtings make some of the newest sports hocks. One never cuts the skits cir cular, however. It is not good to get the stripes out of line, Tucked skirts of skirts with panels of the stripes running vertically against the horizontal yoke are good. Yel- lows are a first choice, with rate, greens, blues and grays rumming about eira" as second choices for popularity.
BIARRITZ jackets are smartest when they
come quilted or of some hand-blocked or therwise gay fabric that introduces brown ind to its color scheme. For nautical effects in jackets and white skirts, there is usually, but not always, the third meraber of the tri-color scheme, ed.
Belts are not obligatory. But when worn, they are apt to be at normal waistline, and tight. Tuck-ins are evenly divided with over bloures in the latest two-piece "dressmaker" Trucks.
White is still the best tennis color. But even whites have a way of taking a striped trim or a bit of handwork. It's a last year's frock, really, that is content to be perfectly plain!
One of the outstanding features about rports things is the way kits are creeping down a bit. All of them come below the knee well enough so that the curve. is act shown. Many of the new frocks, especially the thirting stripes, have their own little oris shouts made of cell-material to wear instead al skirts when playing
Variety in straws is one of the most no ticeable things about summer hats. Wo.ell straws that are pliable as silks and soft as feathers are among the most popular. Some of the fancy straws take only a grosgrain - banding, for they need no trim.

New sports jewelry in rande, of wood, Sometimer as many as eight different kinds of woods go into making a cingle strand of beads or a single modernistic set of necklace, brace let and cigaret holder or belt buckle. Three are used in the waş'a natural colors, which birnd well, with the brown-yellow predomi naling colors,
These interesting accessories add a distinct- ly novel hole to practically all sport custurnes and to some, add just the right finishing touch,
I. JEAN PATOU is one of the Parisian: couturiers who dresses up his gail toge tremendously with lingerie touches. This new Patou sweater suit, in soft graded grays on an athen white background, line on unusual white crepe de chinc collar with stripes of dark gray on its front rdge and ane side of its jabot. The skirt of the suit is pleated dark gray crepe de chine, with white and light gray' stripes around the bottom. New, toog is the necklace, one of the latest things in sporta jewelry, made of thin strips of exotic wood strung on a gold chain.

II. HENRI BENDEL is one American couturier who makes great use of brown
for sports wear, in combination with white. A new Bendel spectator sports outfit in white. is topped by this braitled straw hat that uses five tones of brown and tan to give a dappled effect, not unlike the shadows which trees cast across the paddock or tennis court or golf course. It is one of the simplest of the sea- son's model. It has no trim save a rather wide banding of the deepest brown which makes a series of flat bows at one side.
III. FOR decoration on this tennis dress
of heavy wash silk, Jane Regny uses incastrations of crepe de chine in dark green, onlind in black. It gives a rich, stunning effect, inserted as it is in novel, grometric pat- tern down the front. A how on the pocket. edged in the stripes, is another new touch. The collar has a roll back, quite different and newer than the low, sun-burned backs. The skirt is circndae and very full. The jumper is over-bloused so the skirt fastens it around the waist. Shorts of the white are edged in the blouse's stripes. With this costume some of the new white wooden beads are worn, making a sporte clicker.
IV. JANE REGNY dorp two or thre
new things in this white hand-made sports frock, topped by a colorful Biarritz. jacket. The frock, of fine crepe de chine, à made with a very full hand-tucked skirt and features a wide girdle made by fine nervures, or tucks working out a pattern, around the waistline. The blouse has an intricate pat term of these nervures. The skirt, neckline and armholes are finished with a hand-hemstitched hem. The Biarritz jacket is one of the wea ton's smartest, neatest and most colorful. It
is made of alantung with multi-colored. Ang design reserved for her house's use. The out- standing colors are red, orange and brown, on a while background,
V VERY naulical and era-shore looking in this sports ensemble from Cecile Welly-red and white, omitting the usual blue which in this instance will be supplied by the background of water in the scene for which the frock was created. The dress is a tuck-in blouse, with hand-pleated skirt with the very bottom of its hem outlined in red crope. The jacket is of red marocain, with patch pockets in white, embroidered in heavy red silk, with anchors and other nautical sym bols. The coat's scarf collar is made to stand wind. wraps around the neck snugly, with two long ends, each embroidered in a white anchor. It can be tied in a knot under the chin, if the wearer is very young. This en semble is one of the most beautifully made of the new "dressmaker" costumes,
VI. GERMAINE LECOMTE is one of
the Parisians making much of striped fabrics for sports wear. She makes this yel- low and while lustor with a satin stripe of richer tone into one of the season's simplest appearing frocks, but one which really is in- tricate in cut, Triangular pieces of the striped silk are inserted that show the stripes going the opposite way from the body of the frock. Each triangle is outlined, by hand, in the deepest tone of plain yellow. A white belt with a deep yellow kid edging pulls the frock in at the waistling. Packets on the skirt are bended by an intricate decoration of the frock's fabric. A new note in to have a rather unusually large sports handkerchief made of the frock's silk.
