I -------------------- p-- KINGSTON, ONTARIO DNDAY, MAY 29, 1916. By Maude Hall Plenteous indeed are the offerings in athletic costumes the open season. They cover a most extensi and take unto themselves many orig- Anal ideas, though, in the main, there is a delighatul absence of freakish- ness. Women are coming more and more to find the attraction in smart sports garb, and often it is more than likely that they cultivate some sport for the sake of wearing the stunning sports clothes. A ten- dency toward specialization is noted in athletic fashions for spring and | summer, yet it is not cirried to the | extreme that, makes a costume in- ot te for any save one parti- & sport. The woman whose gen- 4us is broad, theugh her pocket-beok may be narrow, will find it an easy matter to evolve at least two eos- tumes of widely varying character from materials and that cost the sum she would invest most | out of her stock in trade, in one | ready-made suit. An accurate pat- tern, a genius for Sofia the know- i .

For the week-end trip, which is usually the preliminary step toward a season of sports, there are attrac- tive suits of mohair and serge. Striped novelties are in big demand, which gives additional value to mo- hair as a modish material, Promin- ent Among the new models is a suit in black and white striped mohair, having a jacket with straight front and back panels. There is the usual fulness at the 'sides, but instéad of being disposed of beneath a belt, there are three rows of shirring, which adds to the youthfulness of the figure and strikes a departure in simplicity of treatment that will be appreciated as the season advances. Deep yokes have gained a robust popularity, being used on the ma- Jority of sport coats, The one de- signed on this coat is emphasized by a broad collar of white cloth which Jeff Showed Fair Judgment At That 5 Neo. 8015 trimming is used also for the revers, collar and cuffs, A costume of this type is ideal for walking, and this is a sport in which all women can indulge with the Brealest benefit. Norfolk jackets, blouses, smocks and straight coats are the favored designs for outdoor costumes, That they are fashioned of material different from those of skirts' matters not, for this season there will be a great craze for white skirts, made rather plain, but very short and full. Jackets show much leather trimming, while smocks are smocked and blouses girdled with full sashes and ends that fall--well anywhere they happen to fall. Checks for sports coats are the boldest things imaginable and court popularity without restriction. The bigger the better, seems to be the rule. Lovely red and white, green and white and blug-and white checks are requistioned for yachting blouses. The skirts, of course, are of white serge or linen. The woman who cannot indulge in the luxury of os Neos. ¢ | 6762-6732. yachting will find the suits just as well as adapted for rowing and the more accessible sports. Smocks of serge, linen and mercer- ized are among the inexpensive ac- cessories of the girl who is fond of aquatic sports. The assortment of bathing suits is wonderful. The shops have been showing swimming costumes (some are designed exclus- sively for beach wear, since the be- ginning of the Palm Beach season, but they were created for the women who had Palm Beach money, The models shown now are for vacation- ists who make their plans for quiet resorts where economy must be con- sidered with rest and pleasure. Here; 'too, however, checks figure conspicuously, for bathing bloomers are fashioned from chetked mohair and worn with smocks of alpaca, serge, poplin, ete, Without excep- tion the smock or blouse is trimmed with the material employed for the bloomers, when it is in plain color.

For in- stance, Georgette crepe collar and cuff sets for bathing suits are new. How serviceable they will be remains to be seen, Bathing caps are fast becoming works of art. They are made very often of tussah and trimmed with colored diamonds of the same silk, stitched on in "geometric designs. St.«king novelties are also shown in belts and there is-@ marked liking for sashes for wear with bathing blouses. Braid and bias folds of silk and satin are favorite trimmings, Judging by the latest offerings, but these will be compelled to share favors with smocking. Cotton fabrics are coming into their own for sports garments.
