For Tea and For Tennis

TP WO of the most important things for midsummer are: a sleeveless dress of the most casual sort for sports and daytime, and a cool dress with cape or jacket, to wear on the street and for afternoons. The two here suggested represent the very best of these types. Make them yourself, in fabrics and colors of your own choosing, and rejoice in the knowledge that you have some Very individual new clothes. Sleeveless Sports Frock. Even if you never-take a tennis racquet in your hand, you’ll enjoy having this cool, classic dress for summer daytimes. In pique, linen, seersucker or gingham, it will look and feel so cool and fresh! Perfectly straight and plain, it has darts at the waistline to make it fit with becoming slimness. This is a diagram pattern —practically nothing to make! In just a few hours you’ll have it all ready to button on at your shoulders. Afternoon Cape Ensemble. With or without the cape, this dress with lifted waistline to flatten the midriff, is a charming, slenderizing style. The cape is a darling—puffed high at the shoulders, and made with arm slit* so that it won’t be always slipping off your shoulders. Make this de-

sign in georgette, chiffon, linen, or in a pretty combination of plain or printed silk. The Patterns. Pattern No. 1544 is designed for sizes 14, 16, 18, 20; 40 and 42.
