GAY SPORTS SUITS.
Sports suibs, while they remain as possible in cat, boast of almost elaborate combination of materials. Jumpers in particular arc .very colourful, and while they match in some small detail the skirt with which they are worn, they combine enough colours to make them . wearable with any number of plain skirts. The jumpers arc fashioned on more or less fitting lines, which give a workmanlike as, 5 well as chic appearance. Collars are taboo, except for either a straiglft opening, fastened to tho neck with (a plain binding and a row of buttons, or a V-shape, which is cut fairly low. j| Sleeves, on the whole, are tight. A more fanciful design may be chosen, but, whatever happens, they must laever be non-existent. , Stockinette, in a loose but firm weave, is extremely popular, while tussore, in the palest beige or oyster shades, and the host of lovely schappe silks, in apricot, pinky . grey, and lilac, are very frequently used for summer jumcer suits on account of their freshness ahef endurance.
Extra smart designs are made with a little cape, which ties on the shoulder. These are generally of the fussy persuasion, and boast of complicated pleating. ■'
