SPORTS SUITS

Tho knitted suits which are now recognised as the ideal wear for golf and other sports are to he reinforced by the introduction of the three-piece woven suit This innovation, whioh is one of the most interesting that has yet been offered us, has evidertl.v taken its inspiration from the more ornate three-piece suits which came into being a few months ago, but wore then confined to afternoon wear in town. The knittod three-piece sports Buit is. of course, simpler in design, and consists of a cape, a woven waistcoat to n atoh, and a plain skirt. Sometimes the place of tlho waistcoat is taken by a short coat, and in this case the cape is generally attached to the shoulders, and roaHy forms the wide wing sleeves of tho coat. Leather coatees are to be extensively worn in place of short coats, and, as tliev lend themselves particularly well to bright colouring, they can ibe extremely effective. One charming short coat of this description was of scarlet polished leather, and was worn over a white serge skirt, with a white felt hat to match. Pipings of white leather appeared on the coat itself. Collars that are prolonged at one side to form a 6carf are well represented, and another fashion which is certainly on the incrorse ia the use of fringed tweeds. The material, instead of terminating in a hem, is frayed out at the edge of the cuffs, coat and skirt, to the distance of about an inch. Mr and Mrs M. S. Phillips, Dunedin, have arrived in Christchurch from Wellington, en route to their ‘heme. Brighter floors and furniture—brighter hours for mother!
