TOGS FOR TENNIS GROUND

Probability That the Fashions of Last Season Will Be Utilized and improved Upon. The question of' tennis attire will soon be upon us and it seems likely that the changes which made their appearance toward the end of last summer will be found to have established themselves and that there may be even more to come. The wider skirts, too, will make for greater grace and freedom. Cotton poplin, flowered voile and crepon, the new materials, as well as the new soft piques, will come in for a full share of patronage. A distinct Rubicon has been crossed of late with regard to dress for the game since the passion for color invaded its sacred domain, so long consecrated to white. It is neither likely nor desirable, of course, that this will be the case to any great extent, but the little touches of color that are now allowable on a tennis court are a decided relief to the monotony. One of the latest innovations is the wearing of gray shoes and stockings instead of the traditional white, with perhaps a pale gray hat and tie. Delicate gray and white are, strangely enough*, a perfectly charming mixture, giving a wonderful effect of coolness. Another welcome diversity is provided by the flowered crepons that have been so much the vogue.
