TENNIS COAT A NECESSITY

Indispensable Garment if the Summer Girl Goes in at All for Outdoor Sports. Not to own a sporting jacket is to acknowledge one’s self far behind the times and surely there is nothing prettier, especially for a young girl, than the tennis coat made in twenty-six inch length box style with coat sleeves of medium size and three capacious pockets —one at the left breast and two on the hips. This type of coat is fetching looking in dark red or flame with a narrow turned-over collar in hunter’s green, or In dark green with a bright red collar. The same rule applies to the Norfolk Style of blazer, which oftentimes has a patent kid belt, although the self-belt is equally smart. The fabrics employed are Thibet, Knicker homespun and French flannel. In these materials some girls favor the tan and gray tones rather than red, • white, navy or green. For very warm weather both the coat and Norfolk models may be duplicated in khaki and crash in white or natural relieved with a bright color.
