‘Fun’ Clothes Are One of Summer’s Problems

i j—,1 ,ii . ,y>. >
MME. LISBETH
In planning the vacation ward
robe. the smart woman invariably
finds sports clothes her most diffi
cult problem—perhaps because she
demands more of them. Sports togs
must be sturdy, washable, sunfast
and smart in a casual, unstudied
manner. These are exacting re
quirements and they are met in va
rious ways.
Washable silks, as well as cottons,
flannels, etc., are used for sports
wear. and spun silk, which includes
the shantung weaves, silk plcquets.
striped and plain broadcloth, crepes, i
etc., are much liked.
The typical sport wardrobe has
gained new complexity. Frocks
range in formality from the sleeve
less tennis frock to the three-piece
spectator costume suitable for the
sidelines or for town wear.
The three-piece suit at the ex
treme left of the picture is a semi
tailored suit of the useful type
which every smart wardrobe should
contain. The crepe blouse may be
worn as a tuckin or an overblouse, j
and the trim Jacket and skirt are *
In check .silk. The two costumes in
the center are of shantung. The
first frock is capucine colored, and
combines two important style points
—the sleeveless mode and the vogue
for tiny flat bows. The second con
verts itself into a spectator costume
by the addition of a seven-eighth
length coat in blue to match the in
teresting lacing. The silk picque cos
tume at the right is particularly
smart for tennis, and Introduces a
note of novelty In the two wale
weave accented by a black hairline
stripe.
