L b embedded THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., APRIL 5, 1 925—PART 5. i Newest Sport Clothes Are Not Confined to Women in Athletics BY MARY MARSHALL. LL sport clothes easily might be divided into these two classes — those that women wear for golf, tennis, hunting, boating and other sports, and those that they do not. For it is a mistake that practically no one makes nowadays to suppose that sports clothes are all designed for women. Not a bit of it. There men who wear sports clothes, and nothing but sports clothes, from rosy morn to dewy eve, who never swatted & tennis ball, drove off a golf tee, reined in a horse nor partook of any door exercise more strenuous than king round the block or getting » 4 motor car. Quite a good many solved their dress problem in this way, and you may he one of them. They have but two classes of clothes sport clothes and evening clothes. ney wear the former sort to all day- time occasions, luncheons, bridge parties, den partles, up town, down town, in town and out of town. The only time they don any clothes not of the sports varlety in the evening, when they have clothes as truly feminine and unsportlike as you can well imagine. They simply avold any of those elaborate daytime clothes that some women regard as necessary for formal aftarnoon af- fairs. Likewise, they avoid the frilly, carden party sort of clothes that 1 women include in their Summer wardrobes. Some women hold to the opinion that the only time that frilly clothes are becoming, anyway, is after dark “For the benefit of who have taken to sport clothes so here wide varfety this There frocks and wraps and and suits to upply every daytime occasion he tennis frock that is designed the tennls court shows an inter- esting application of recent fashion tendencies to the requirements of the Eame e increased fullness of the skirt has, of course, its distinct ad- vantages. Many tennis players pre- fer the perfectly sleeveless frock, and in spit the coming long sleeves there are smart new tennls frocks as tnnocent of sleeves as one could wish One such frock of man's white silk shirting shows an overblouse trim- med with red and white polka dot ribbon and a short circular sKirt of the silk. Another sleeveless model consisis of a white crepe de chine jumper hound with green and a short pleated skirt. White still o be favorite with_ the tennis enthusiast. Some tennis players choose a nearly sleev less one-piece frock of white jersey Mlle. Lenglen, who first taught American tennis players the smart- ness and usefulness of the bandeau tied about the head, seems always to choose a linen frock for tennis.

HIRTING, TRIMMED AND WHITE CREPE , WITH many of them imagine that they have designed these with special reference to the American form and the require- ments of the American sportswoman. One of these celebrated dressmakers of undoubted ability presents a golf frock consisting of a very short pleat- ed kasha skirt with a jumper of very wide striped kasha In beige and natural tone. The slightly puffed sleeves are short, with wide, close bands just above the elbows, and there is a hat of the striped kasha drawn as close as a bathing cap. The jumper is straight and plain and swathed about the neck with a long scarf end, so that, between the scarf and the turban, the golf player would have difficulty in bending or turning her head There is a type of sport clothes that Spinning Top Merry-Go-Round. merry-go-round 2 group Here's a of boys can or back vard The parts necessary to make the merrv-go-round are an old wagon wheel, four nch planks, 8 feet long, some rope, a post, an axle bar and about two hours' work, The first thing to do is to set up the post on which vour merry-go- round to run. The post should in the ground three or four feet and should be about four feet high. Next, put the steel axle in the middle of the top of the post A giant lag screw will do very well for the axle; it can be put in the post easily and then have its square head sawed off. Now build the platform on the big wagon wheel, by placing the planks as shown and nailing them fast With this done, place the wheel on the axle in the post and grease the azls well so speed can be attained By placing a rew-eye bolt on the hub of the wheel you make a place where a length of rope can he at- tached Use about 50 or 60 feet of rope and then wind the merry-go- round backward until the rope Iis tightly wound around like a top. Then one or two boys must pull it rapidly and the merry-go-round will turn like sixty ~Capt. Zyb. = . Queer Bookmarks. N tha matter of odd bookmarks be- tween the pages of a returned velume, one librarian claimed the blue ribbon by citing & slice of raw bacon which ome of his assistants had salvaged from a copy of Mr. Service's posms. But his claim was given second place when the chief of a famous library in a great manufact- uring city countered with a soft- shell crab, which turned up between the leaves of a hook on engineering. put up in a vacant lot is The Dog Takes “Oh, that's Roger Willard, captain of the track team. 1 introduced you to Bim before. But you don’t need to look at him. He doesn't pay any attention to girls” Fay, who was 16w in the Brambler high school, flushed at her cousin's remark. I don't care whether he likes girls or mot. 1 just noticed him because he looked like my big brother at college.” She walked dig- pifiedly away. She didn’t lfke this pew school, Where every one seemed 100 grOown up. +"Some of the girls had asked her to go down to the ice cream parlor nearby, as soon as school was over, put-she shook her head. She didn’t wanf to sit around eating ice cream and giggling. “Mawr I take Nero for a walk?” she ssked her aunt. Her Runt looked down at the huge alredale. “He's pretty big and rough,” she hesitated. “Oh, I'm used to dogs,” replied Fay. §o in 2 moment she had on her sweat- er and knickers, had put the leash on the dog, and was off at a brisk walk. Her aunt lived near the edge of town, and soon Fay was on a road into the open country. She walked happily on and on, istilng gaily as she went along. ‘Then she noticed that is was begin- ning to grow a little dark.

Nero gave a yip of pleasure. Now running was something he liked! Away they sped, Fay's cheeks blooming. “That's enough,” She said finally, and slowed down. But Nero had not had enough. Once started, he was in no mood to stop. His deep chest breasting the wind, he thun- dered on. And Fay realized with horror that she couldn’t stop him. She was afrald to let go, for if she lost him her aunt would be fur- lfous, He was a very valuable show d in the direction from which she “It wouldn't hurt us to she said to the Whither away so fast?’ cried a cheery voice, A tall boy was striding down the road toward her. “I can't—stop him!" gasped nearly exhausted Fay. He whirled and came after her. In a minute his hand was on the leash and the rebel Nero was stopped. “I never dreamed—he was too strong for me,” explained Fay. She looked up at her rescuer and saw Roger Willard, the track team cap- tain, “He's a great dog.” he smiled, “but he's strong as an ox. You oughtn't to try to take him walking. He thinks he's taking you. After this, suppose you take me on your hikes instead, & the women have been wearing to the races in France this Spring that gives Americans inspiration for sport frocks of the more elaborate sort. However, on cool days observers have declared that every woman looks as it she had borrowed her brother's coat. These are mixed woolen ma- terials of the lightest sort, so that they may be worn until quite warm weather. They have the regulation slit up the back, with large side pockets. * HY is it that the colors that be- come tremendously smart are al- most never the colors that are becom- ing to most women?

(Up in the great lonesome woods of the North the old guldes have made up many yarns which they tell over and over to the tenderfeet from the cities—their own way of explain- ing the strange tracks and weird noises. Mr. Childs, who used to be a game warden in the woods of north- ern Wisconsin, collected these stories himself from the “oldtimers.”) Once soft-treading moccasins passed through the aisles between the tall trees of the North Woods, for, long before it became the home of the old guides and other woodsmen and the hunting and fishing ground of pleas- f \ fuchsia at don't know two colors toy It is 11k al in | strawberr roquefor Readers Yarns of the Big Woods. ure seekers from t} of the hunting gr.
