NEW IN SPORTING CRAVATS

Flannel Btock Is the Latest Thing and Looks Very Smart and . Business-Like. Among the new sporting eravata is shown a flannel stock, which seems to meet many requirements, and looks very smart, and business-like at the same time. The model I saw was of pale lemon colored flannel, but of the finest and thickest kind, looking. Indeed, almost like a face cloth; the edges were simply stitched, and it was tied once across and fastened, to keep it in place, with two little buckles and straprf underneath. The upper length of flannel was then held down by a plain gold safetypin, and the distinctive note was that both the long and short end in front were cut up in a kind of fringe, almost like the tonne of a sporting shoe. The soft black silk or satin stock for sporting wear is being brought very much, to the fore. Whatever happens to us tinder other conditions, it seems that as sportswomen (In the winter, at all events )we must cover eur throats, and, the stiff linen collars being, somewhat restricting to go back to, after all our late freedom, the stook. whether It be silk, satin or flannel, is a kind of half-way house in th»« ter. Tea gowns made of thin, self-fig-ured crepes are lovely when bordered with marabou or swansdowa.
