SILK IS NOW THE THING FOR SPORTS, ILENE TELLS SUE Here’s Another Chatty Paris Fashion Letter Written to Indianapolis Girl —Track Pants of Brown Flannel Is Latest.

PARIS, April 13. fu\ Sport clothes? Well, whether or not you are to be married, you will want to know some* thing of them. Your clothes now, no doubt, are taking the turn to sports instead of tea parties, as they would have been had you been going around meeting your mother-in-law’s friends. Aunt Louise and I have been looking around for sports clothes —and such sights as we saw, everything from an entire calfskin riding habit worn by Mistinguet of the Moulin Rouge on her early morning canter, to some adorable little track pants of brown and flannel and a mottled brown and tan sweater top with a zipper opening worn by a smart girl who was playing handball outdoors. Silks Are Smartest It is my candid opinion that she who sports in silks this summer will he smartest. Jerseys lead now, but the latest styles are two piece silks, things which would be adorable for wear at any of the Indianapolis country clubs. The silks really look like woolens or tweeds or cottons such as exquisite ginghams but they have that slinky something about them that endears them to the feminine heart. A gray crepelera Russian blouse frock has an insouciant grace. Chic signs its name to the outfit with a smashing bow on the left shoulder,

School Children in Historical Pageant Approximately 2,000 school children, assisted by an adult cast, members of the Columbus (Ind.) Symphony Orchestra and Technical High School Orchestra presented an historical pageant and concert Friday night at 8 at. Oadle Tabernacle. A living flag was formed in which 999 children took part. The children’s chorus also sang at the program, which will be repeated this afternoon.

FASHION •V HINTS PLEATED SKIRTS The pleated skirt is now the smartest skirt. Small checks and geometric plaids of ten,fashion skirts for plain colored coats. NET HATS Small net hats wtih horsehair brald brims are tho newest headgear for spring bridesmaids. Hats match the gowns in color. NEW BRACELETS Paris sponsors black cord bracelets with little hoops of gold encircling them at intervals. Os course one wears a pair of these novelties. PEARL FASHIONS Rhinestone and crystal pins now catch long strands of pearls in place at the front of the frock, in the fashion of a gorgeous necktie. SHORT NIGHTGOWNS Summer nightgowns are following the short skirt mode and are made at least twelve Inches from the floor. EVENING BAG Anew evening bag has fine gold sequins on soft green silk and a top of pearl and gold bangles. The double chain is of gold. NEW CURTAINS Beauty in a room begins where the light comes in. Spring should be the time to dress up windows with new curtains and drapes. Glazed chintz is popular now for curtains. ■ 1 ~ f NOVELTY DISHES Spring should be the time to intro_ duce new dishes to your tamily. A novelty salad, a brand new meat dish or gome dessert never served before will add zest t othe menu, FOOD SALE Hamilton-Berry chapter of Service Star Legion will hold a food sale Saturday at the Indianapolis Power and Light Company for the benefit of the relief fund of the chapter. Mrs. IS. H. Pursell, chairman of the ways and means committee, will have charge, assisted by Mesdames Byron Todd, Ernest H. Wiles, E. Nevins, Frank Connor and O. P. Bray. TO LECTURE Mrs. Demarchus C. Brown wlllj speak on “Cecil Rhodes and His Dreams,’* in Hollenbeck Hall at the Y. W. C. A. this evening. COLORFUL VEGETABLES A pinch of soda put into the boiling water in which new vegetables are cooked will help them retain their vivid and appetizing colors. Cook new vegetables uncovered.

DEVOTED TO WOMEN’S INTEREST I

by two-inch tucked inserts running around the full skirt and by great pompoms embroidered in chenille in that new rich dark blue that misses black and yet is not navy. Blue and lavender “Pansy” might be the name of another sports model. Worth indeed knew his colors when he fashioned its skirt of iris • blue with canary yellow jumper blouses embroidered in lavender angora. The hat is green with a dozen bandings the colors of the dress. Angora, by the way is the latest thing in trimming. This suit has one startling innovation, the sleevelet. Everything else I saw had long sleeves or none, but it is whispered here that this short sleeve heralds hundred* of the same type. Flowers and ostrich feathers seem to be dropping from the air to adorn many of the smartest and most becoming hats. French hosiery is developing personality, with at least twelve different kinds of clocks and fancy heels which I saw on that many women at tea the other afternoon. Monogram Handkerchiefs deserve mention because of the sophistication which has grown into the monograms. They are intricate designs and you must know how to get through a labyrinth to descipher just what milady’s initials are. The new play, “La Poupee Francaise,” is unusually mannish and you’d be surprised at the curious femininity of Madeleinex Carlier’s clothes as “the new woman.” Give my love to all the girls and tell Sabra how happy I am over her coming marriage. My love, LaajL
