Stunning Sport Costume

The inventors of sport clothes should favor us by furnishing a new name for those sport clothes de luxe which have increased in importance and In volume of production for the past three seasons. They might be called “veranda” clothes, but that title Is not broad enough to cover their usefulness. They are very smart and they are informal; since they suggest sports they cannot be anything else. But new fabrics used for them may be truthfully called gorgeous. In the picture a costume of jersey silk deserves to be called “stunning.” It has a skirt of white jersey and a blouse in turquoise blue. Many covered buttons and pipings, in white, contribute to the distinction of a dress that has wonderful designing as well as wonderful material, to place it on the plane of the highest art in appareling. The new weave of silk and fiber silk that belong to the tricolette family makes Ideal mediums for this character of dress. The blouse in the dress pictured is piped with white, and buttons up along

the under arm seam. It is cut with the effect of straps oyer the shoulders, the white piping serving to outline the straps and belt which are in turquoise blue. Buttons are set on at the front and the long, plain, tight-fitting sleeves are buttoned along the forearm. The hat and shoes for wear with this character are Items that must be considered in connection with It. For in all lines sport clothes require special designing.
