P play clothes for the theme is
a most fascinating one. More
triumphantly, more spectacular
ly than ever before in the annals
of fashion lore are the designers
answering the challenge for play
clothes that will add to the picture
of golfing, tennis, hiking, swimming,
motoring, and all the other sports
thut go to make perfect days of out
door playtime.
A significant thing about modern
play clothes is that they have a way
of making one keenly fabric-minded.
That saying about necessity being
the "mother of invention” applies
perfectly to modern play clothes’
fabric production.
Scientific proc
essing is achieving materials that
are as near 100 per cent perfect as
is humanly possible in the matter
of washability and wearability which
are guaranteed to be practically
non-fading, non-shrinking, non-wrin
kling and all the other qualities
demanded for apparel that must
withstand the ravages of strenuous
wear.
It is interesting to note the rise
to high style distinction that is taking
place among fabrics once consid
ered of low degree. There's denim,
for instance, once synonymous with
commonplace workaday overalls,
now playing a star role as media
for the smartest tailored suits that
a socialite in the smart set might
don this summer in town or for
country club wear. By the way,
when you go shopping in the sports
departments take a look at the
swank slacks and shorts made of
yellow denim. Top these with a
vivid calico-patterned print blouse
or a jacket quilted of bright fig
ured glazed chintz and you wiU rank
high in any fashion parade.

clothes is tending her flowers in

cotton braid trim that adds a dash

of color to the huge pockets and the
wide shoulder straps. A bolero to
protect her shoulders and a quilted
apron to protect her knees are also
included in this cunning outfit.
The pinafore pair shown in the
background will cheer the heart of
every mother and daughter. These
pinafore types should be an inspira
tion to home sewers in that they are
so easy to make. The profession
al looking nicety of the edge seam
ing is achieved in a jiffy with a little
edge stitcher found in every mod
ern sewing machine kit. The full
gathered finish given to the back-
buttoned skirt is only a matter of
minutes with the gathering foot at
tachment. The same material is
used for both—a striped denim. The
two outfits cost but a trifling sum to
make, they promise much joy in the
wearing and besides mother-and-
daughter costumes are fashion's pet
theme this year.
Up to the last season or so the
great problem with fabricists has
been to produce white materials
that will come out of a brisk tub
bing or cleaning process as white
as when new. Welcome comes the
message of white rayon pique shark
skin which is proving ideal for ten
nis frocks and for white suits and
afternoon dresses. It is this snow-
white pique sharkskin that is used
to make the tennis frock shown in
the foreground of the group pic
tured. Here is a fabric that is sure
to stay in top form, having been test
ed and approved for wearing and
cleaning satisfaction. It adds an
exciting note of interest because
this dress was designed by Alice

Dressmaker Bathing Suits
Recall Fashions of 1890s
Enthusiasm for cottons in the fab
ric realm has crescendoed to a new
high this season. The importance
of cottons in the fabric realm is
simply breath-taking not only be
cause of the transcendent loveliness
of cotton weaves but there is no call
of the mode be it ever so humble
or an event ever so festive and for
mal but what there is a cotton fab
ric that will tune Into the picture

prettier in rial life than they do on

The fashion trend in bathing suits
is to dressmaker effects done in most j
any material one might choose.
Taffeta is especially good style; so
is flowered or striped jersey. The
knitted suit is a particular favorite.
So definite is the dressmaker styling ,
that one is reminded of fashions that
held forth in the gay nineties. The
difference between "has been” and
modern styles is found in shorter
ruffled bloomers, shorter (much
shorter) skirts and open midriff ef
fects.
Tn elastized types the princess sil
houette is a favorite and even newer
is the one piece ballerina elastized
satin types. The Hawaiian influence
is seen in large floral effects.
Knitted Cape
As everyone knows, fashion’s
spotlight is on capes and the vogue
will continue during the fall and win
ter. The latest reaction to this trend
is the enthusiasm expressed for
capes in the knitted realm. Why
not begin to knit now so as to be
among the first to come out in a
knitted cape this fall. You can buy
capesuits now that look as if hand
knit if you prefer.
