X the morning almost every
woman wears sports
clothes, grandmother in
cluded. For this reason
"sports clothes" is a very
inclusive term and embraces, this season
it least, almost every simple form of suit
or dress which could possibly be made to
tome under such a description. Blouses
to be worn with sports skirts and suits
e more elaborate than formerly and are
made of materials which until now have
Hot been considered desirable for this pur
pose. Batiste and the finest of handker
cMef linen are made on very simple lines,
bat many tucks and very narrow frills are
used in such a way that one does not
feel as if thpy were at all out of place.
Jrar.tsc bilk and satin are also used
but the sheer batiste in contrast to velvet
or the very heavy silks now sopopular is
really quite the smartest thins to wear;

sot actually engaged on the tennis
worts or golf links. The "countrv clubJ
foe mountains and the beaches present so
many occasions when sports are not the
nly attractions that at least two or three
sanations of the sports costume are

One niece dresses which were so much
in' evidence last summer have not been
seen much so far. For spdrts they were
nprt-ainlv of little use, the minute one in

one piece affairs are so convenient, how
ever, that it is probable that, they will be
uHed for ginghams and calicoes later in
the season, but cannot be called sports
dresses.
Afterall that has beet, said about the
briiliant colors and striking color studies
to be seen in the South, it is well tc re
member that. white or simple costumes. all
in one color show up well by contrast, and
many women who have ideas of Gieir own
will make this choice. " All white is r-
silk or silk jersey. They are so extremely
smart that a ready acceptance of them is
a foregone conclusion. This sleeveless. idea
is sen in a great many forms ; sleeveless
vests and waistcoats run riot both as
to form, coloi and material. Vhen de
signed to be worn separately that is. not
with a matching- skirt velvet is the fa
vored material, and the colors .range from
palest, turquoise . blue tc black , and even
embroidery is used ic 'sparing touches.
Most of these coats and waistcoats have

very often lacking. Slipon sweaters are
almost always the rule, and silk jersey
sweaters are taking the place to some ex
tent of the wool ones. Contrary to the
general scheme as this may seem, tbe
softer shades have been emphasized. rather
than the brilliant ones. , .
Riding costumes retain simple and con
ventional lines and are shown fitted snug
ly at. the waist, although other sports and
country clothes are invariably straight, up
and down in line. Checks in black and
white are very desirable for riding habits
and white is alsc good for warmer
weather. However, if wo new costumes
are too iriuch for one season the checked
one could be made to serve admirably for
general wear. . -
Hats for sports and country wear are to
be found in sc many different colors com
binations of colors and materials thatf
with a little exertion on the part of the
shopper, .a. hat to : match.. any; costume
would seem possible. - Those made of ! ma
terial or of straw trimmed with material
are classified as smarter than those of
straw Only. A simple trimming of -flat em
broidery in twine takes the place of the
wool embroideries which have been used
so much.
SHOES.
OOKS on etiquette of long ago say
never to "look below "the eyes
However, in case any one in these
later times should be impolite enough to
look at one's feet.it might be just as well
to have them shod with reference to looks
as well as utility. In the days of short
skirts and constant going up and down
steps here and there and all over the shoes
are quite as much in evidence as any other
part of the cqstume. and unsuitable shoes
are every bit as bad as homely or. shabby
shoes. . - .
. Very few women , possess the knack of
making a good choice when it' comes to
this detai1 of a well dressed woman's
wardrobe. Men seem to have less diffi
culty in this, either from better judgment
or because they have fewer styles and
conditions to consider.
