One always feels with the approach of each new spring and summer season th&t the smart Parlslenne this time may place the stamp of her approval on the truly snmmer{ dress of lingerie material or a novelty cotton. A well dressed French woman, notes a fashion writer, can only consider her frocks made of these light and summery fabrics as suitable to be worn at the races at Deauvllle In August, on the tennis court, or around the tea table on the lively lawns surrounding her Chateau, where she spends a few weeks and a slightly larger number of weekends that can be spared from pressing social duties elsewhere. Despite the limited number of women who wear. BUCII dresses on these hardly frequent occasions every spring, in all the big collections a decided number of this type of dress Is shown. The Frenchwoman seems to consider any summer event and all sports from a peculiarly social angle, so she lias not great use for this simple summer frock so beloved by her American sisters. Costumes Vie With Simple Dresses. When she does find a real summer dress, whlAi she considers fitting for one of her complicated mid-summer afternoons, one can rest assured that it is very beautiful with a distinct cachet and truly French charm; a charm perhaps in intricacy of cut or | detail or in a daring and successfulj ly mannish simplicity. • Dresses of this type made by the greatest French dressmakers have met with the complete approval of their By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN. ALL of the Wild! This is the time o' year when It sounds over all the land, creating in every normal breast a pang unmistakable and poignant It is the awakening of an instinct as old as the race--the : desire for the open road. It is old Mother Nature herself calling, and she says: "Play time, everybody! All work and.no play is folly; you know the penalty I exact. Life In these modern times Is tbo strenuous. Stop, get your breath, relax, rest! Come and play awhile!" We Americans are the busiest people under ' the sun. There was a time when we played hardly at all. Now we have finally learned the necessity of relaxation and recreation. The trouble to that we have learned to play not wisely but too well. Our avocations, especially In the large cities, are as strenuous as our vocation*-- ®pmetime«i even more strenuous. "There should be nothing so much a man's justness as his amusements," wrote Stevenson, tod he wrote a great truth, which has not yet «k>me home to us. So it Is that we Americans, many of us, are coming to have double need of * summer vacation--to rest up from both our jlrork and our pleasures. The Call of the Wild means, In a sense, pretty much the same thing to all of us. But necessarily we can Interpret it only according to our knowledge and experience. Fortunate indeed are l»ey to whom the call means but one thing1-- ' Whether gypsylng toy automobile, or the flying ||>ray of the salt sea, or the rushing stream whose deep dark pools hide the great trouts, or the ten! Snd campflre beside the placid lake, or the fountain trail to the peaks where lies the everlasting snow. These fortunate, hear, understand iml obey. ^ Those of us who are less fortunate also hear /find rfcjolce. But the call has no clear message. tt%e do not know what to do with our play time. ®; %e do not know where or at what to play, and Ihc Interesting spectacle of a great people at #tay Is saddened by the sight of thousands of ^Unfortunates wasting their precious vacation daji ^-getting little enjoyment and less rest •i;* .. • Come, let us plan vacation day* « 1 ' ' * ' * W h i l e y e t t h e s e a s o n ' s n o w !

They have planned their va- Ration carefully and put common sense into their ' Jtlans. They have taken stock of their physical Sj: ftnd mental needs. They have profited by the ex- £ j>erience of past vacations and their successes * gnd failures. They understand that a vacation k for pleasure and a vacatioif for recuperation are - - not necessarily the same thing, but they will try iv combine pleasure and recuperation. •; w f Change is a great factor In both pleasure and test When play time comes around most offuS tl - <• Instinctively long for something that our daily fe' i;|lfe does not offer.

It Is equally obf|- Cvious that these nature lovers would be out of If Vjplace in a fashionable summer resort where people congregate to see and be seen. The com- K Sjnon sense of it Is that they should go where P" 'fccenlc beauty can be enjoyed and the eonven* f iional comforts of life are not lacking.

And what Is a sportsman? It Is easy to say this: The sportsman is the gentleman of the out-of* doors. But that does not comprehensively dr ' fine the sportsman because it la still more dlftcult to define the gentleman. Anyway, whatever else he may be, the sportsman Is the man who plays fall 1 with nature, with wfld animal life, with his companions, with himself. He never wantonly defaces the fair face of nature. He never pollutes stream or lake. He never cuts down a tree that he does not need. He buries or burns his camp rubbish. He cleans np his camping place. And he Is very sure that he sets no forest fire. The sportsman plays fair with wild animal lilpu He will not hunt out of season. He will not ktt a female deer or elk. He will not shoot a bird except when flying. In angling he uses light tackle to ,'ive the fish a fair chance. He will use the fly rather than the worm for trout H» will put back the small trout--and handle It with a wet hand. He will use the single hook rathe* tK«n the gang hooks. He never takes from forest field, lake and stream more than he can use. And always he obeys the local game laws. , The sportsman Is a delight In camp and on the trail. He takes pride In keeping up his end. In doing his full share efficiently, willingly and cheerfully. In emergencies he is a volunteer. He helps the tenderfoot f Poor luck cannot rufflo his temper or spoil his outing. He pets fun out of trouble and can take n Joke on himself. lie is a good loser; he grins and bears It when defeftt^ is hi* He Is a good winner--which Is hardei*"^, and wears tils laurels modestly. And the sportsman plays fair with hlms^tfc which is perhaps the hardest thing of alL He is not too proud to learn from his betters. If he catches flsh "with « silver spoon," he owns np to it He does not blame his own mistakes on others or on his tackle. He does not exhibit his musky trophy and tell of his skill while all the while his inner %elf is saying: "You know perfectly well the guide rigged your rod and tackle, peddled you to the place, showed you the exact spot 'to cast told you how to handle the flsh, netted It and landed it" In short, possibly thf crowning ideal of true sportsmanship is independent achievement in sport or woodcraft • • • Speaking of muskellunge, please recall these tstunortal lines in Sir Izaak Walton's "Compleat • Angler": **We may say ef angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless Qod never did,' and so. If I might be Judge, God never did make n mere calm, «ulet innocent recreation than angling." Possibly Dr. Boteler was right about straw- . berries. And probably Sir Izaak was*right aboat the Innocence of angling. In spite of "fish yarns" which do most amazingly smack of rank perjury. But when the model and pattern of all good anglers doth speak of angling as "calm" and "unlet," here Is one disciple who rises up to say that Sir Izaak is no "Compleat Angler"--and 0/ tKia be treason, make the most of It! For he rises to Inquire: How can anyone nse the words "calm" and "quiet" in coonection with a thirty-pound musky? And how can any angler , be "compleat" who has not been fast to this "tiger e( the Inland seas"? Calm! Quiet! Oh, would that Sir Isaak were back on earth. This Is what would happen to him. He'i be taken to a certain lake and given a hand-made split-bamboo casting rod, with multiplying' reel, braided silk line- and spoon hook with pork rind. -Along toward evening he'd be rowed past a certain rushy point where the pickerel weed and lilies grow, and there Is deep water on either side. And with good luck Sir T»»«ir would thereupon find himself fast to a Grmm f*ioro CO. glistening, leaping, darting, plunging, rushlna piece of sheer deviltry that would make him for get all his philosophy and all his morals, and act like a real human being. Yesslreebob! When a man gets fast to a big musky It Is no time for him to think of home and mother, wife, sweetheart, the League of Nations and the H. C. of Li As that ardent angler, T. H. Kendall, puts it-- I hava fait exhilaration In the auto's lightning rash. Evading limitations and the law. X hav* felt my pulses quick an wbtn I DIM a bob-tall flush. Having raised the ants just bsfors ths draw. I have let the perspiration run down my smiling face Aa 1 cashed a winning tloket oa a doubtful trotting race. With muscles tense and ready I firmly grasp my pole, I forget the rocking boat in which I stand, I forget my wife's relations, the salvation of my soul, My debts, my duties and my native land. Cold chills of apprehension go up and down my spine. And I wonder at my folly In selecting such a line. 'Tis th<> limit of the pleasures I have traveled mUes to feell , Oa this cloudy, breesy afternoon la June, When my heart Is set to pounding by the protest ot my reel As the Mighty Musky rushes with my qpoon. And then the congratulations would pour in on Sir Iraok. For if, with the aid of an oarsman, a club, n revolver, a gaff and a landing net, ho got the musky Into the liout, congratulations would obviously be in order. And If the liiunky got away, congratulations would be equally iu order, since the panting, perspiring and exhausted angler got away from the musky with Ms life. The poorest way to see the country 'is from the window of 4 railroad car. The next poorest Is from an auromoblle going thirty mllqs an hour. A man on horseback has a fair chance to see things, provided he will get off the beaten highway. Really to see the country, however, a man must walk. For it is only the pedestrian who can leave the beaten track at will to climb to the vantage spot on the slope, to wander off down the woodland trail to the tinkling stream, to cast hinjpelf down at full length on the pine needles of the cool grove. It Is only the man on foot who has the time to find these hidden charms and the leisure to appreciate them. And then there's the actual feel of the country under foot--the spring of the turf; the rustle of fallen leaves; the cooling touch of lush grass about the spring; the ring of hobnail on solid rock; the crunch of safcd on the beach. That's the way to see the country-rget Into actual physical touch with it. • • • If yon go camping, here Is some advice Jhi the form of donts: Don't neglect to choose your companions carefully ; the smaller the party, the more care is necessary. If a man has a laxy or yellow streak in him, it will come out in camp. Don't eat a hearty meal when you are exhausted ; you might as well take poison. Cool off and rest a while; thai 'a hearty meal will renew your strength. Don't go Into cold water when overheated or Just after a heavy meal. Don't go Into deep water alone. Don't stay In after your teeth begin to chatter. Don't go in at all If it Is a tax rather than a tonic. Don't give up and conclude that the flsh will not bite. If there are fish they nfhst feed. Don't try to do your cooking over a campflre; use a cooking fire. A campflre is for Jollity and warmth, a cooking Are Is principally live coala for cooking only.

Or again the fabric is dyed in the most delicate of pastel shades, embroidered In self tones or left perfectly plain, as In the case of many cotton voiles. Rodler, the most artistic creator and producer of novelty fabrics. Is showing materials of this character in the sheerest of cotton voiles, embroidered mousselines and a lovely new material ih a sort of basket weave called flocanna. This comes in the season's most prominent shades--orange, beige, Jade green, cerise, pink, nattier blue and also in the darker shades--tete de nlgre, navy blue and black. The most popular form of decoration noted on cotton dresses Is fil-ttre, or drawn thread work, this being due to the fact that the dresses of this character enter the United States at a much lower rate of duty than those carrying embroidery ftnd lace. Thfeu, too, the cotton materials lend them-' selves well to this form of decoration. Voile Dress In Tailored Effect. < But the Paris dressmakers and manufacturers do not confine their lines entirely to this type of dress. Many lovely hand-embroidered models are being shown, also voile or mousseline dresses trimmed with applique motiflB of colored organdie In scroll designs or In the form of large fruits or flowers of a contrasting color. It Is unusual to see cotton voBe made up In tailored effect, and upon first thought this seems* almost Impossible. One clever French designer, however, has achieved a charming model of voile which has all the severity of a tailored serge frock, but is, at the same time, aa feminine as a dress can be. Beige flocanna Is need to develop it. and the embroidery Is in rust red mercerised cotton thread, while the trimming bands and Inset fan-Uke panels are of rust red flocanna. The skirt has a front and back panel which are Joined to the body of the skirt by means of small fan-shaped pieces of rust red flocanna. This same material trims the front of tho hodlce and the high collar, the little breast pocket, the narrow wrist bands and lines the tie belt The embroidered motifs appear on the skirt only, on the back and front panels, and on each side at the bottom of the skhrt. Flocanna Used In Contrasting Shades. Dresses of both light and dark colored flocanna, embroidered or trimmed In contrasting shades are very much seen in the newest collections of clothes for summer. A model Is msde from this material In an orange hue, embroidered In black, with a deep sash girdle of black satin ribbon. A further trimming Is the black button* which extend from the V-neck to the hip-line down the front of the hodlce and form a puff-like trimming on the short sleeves. It Is a very simple dress, but, because of the color combination, Is extremely striking. The same material In a more modest hue appears In another dress. . Navy bine is the color chosen In tnls Instance. It is elaborately embroidered on both the bodice and skirt. The tatter Is straight and rather scant and 's formed of wide box plaits, each plMtt lielng eml r»>Iderejl at the top and through the renter with beige mer- «*rlred cotton. On the bodice the embroidery Is in the form of a broad v<>st extending to the shoulder seams. The embroidered motif at the top of each plait extends onto the bodice and entirely encircles the figure.
