* THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0., FEBRUARY 21, 1926—PART 5. 7 Southern Fashions Give Forecast of Our Summer Sports Wear BY MARY MARSHALL. ROM a masculine point of view one of the worst things that a Ssportswoman can do Is to wear clothes that do not belong to the occasion—to wear the F wrong kit, as the Englishman puts it. Hfere smartness doesn't atone for that and dowdiwes is almost forgiven the woman who nevor fails to wear a con- ventional riding costume when she rides, whio hunts in hunting costume and who plays golf in an_ ensemble that smacks of golf, and not of a gar- den party. “I have seen flappers,” complained an English journalist named Horace Vachell, “ ‘sporting’ golfing stockings and low shoes on a uring wet day. Above these flimsy reeches and coat; above, an ill-tied stock and a powdered face, and a floppy hat!” The picture is not exactly pleasant— recently N ) Rkt W et one feels sympathy for the flapper, who doubtless loathed high shoes, ab- horred stiff-brimmed hats and would as soon have faced the world without stockings as without powder. From the masculine point of view apparely certain types of clothes, certain accessories, belo of this and t partic 7 woman wears a stock when she hunts because men have worn stocks. And so long as women were only a minor- Ity in any of the outdoor sports, so long as they took their crue entirely from men not only for the rules of the zame but for the rules of dressing for the game, so long, of course, they stuck ithfully to the old convention: fashions in sports apparel move slowly. But now that women—and especially fashionable women—have come to teke so prominent a part In such a large number of sports, they have i changed this.

The problem is not difficult to solve. Suzanne :Lenglen’s dress on the tennis courts is a case in point. She, who has set several fashjons in tennis attire, row wears a costume for the courts that a few years ago would have been considered anything but the right kit. Your conventfonal Eng- Hsh athlete would have been unspeak- ably pained and would have been grateful at least, that no English wom- an would so depart from the pro- rieties.

Sometimes he balks, but not much Wings of a Plane. BY TERENCE VINCENT. Talls of birds not only are flat, but they hump up or down as the bird arises or descends. The wings change position frequent- | ly in fiight, except for those of the large soaring birds like the hawks,| rds, eagles and condors. But in airplanes the wings and talls change but little in flight. In our tiny rubber motored airplanes, they cannot be| changed successfuliy during a flight About the only function of the air.} plane wing is to camry the load, «nd possibly to stabilize the flight a bit by means ‘of the dihedral angle. This V-| shaped angle upward at the tips, or downward In the wing’s midsection, is called the dihedral angle, and s from to 6 degrees in real airplanes, and from 10 to 60 degrees in minia- ture, rubber-motored airplanes like ours. Generally the wing is several times as long as it is wide. And the good average wing is a sixth longer than the motor base. Flat wings only will be used on our beginning airplanes, though you skill- ful experimenters soon wiil learn how to make the wings ‘“double-covered,” with scientifically correct curvatures. For our 1i-inch motor base we should have wings about 18 inches long by 212 inches wide, with per- haps a 20-degree dihedral in the lead- ing (or front) edge. A larger wing area will give slower flight and a smaller wing area will give a faster flight to the same airplane. Get two bamboo strips 18 inches and one 18 inches long for the long (or one | 15 inches for the front tralling edge), and separate them on a flat surface by three or five bamboo strips 2% inches long, about. All cross- sections of these strips should be as fine as possible, yet retaining strength to perform their proper work. Cover with light, tough tissue paper, | gluing but one side to the bamboo— | that is, the tissue does not go around | the bamboo edges. ! The simplest tail consists of a .dia-| mond shape for the elevator, sur- mounted by a triangular-shaped rud- der. The entlre surface of the tall should be not more than 15 to 13 the area of the wing for best results.

Re- member, the best way to completely baffle vour audience is to be very cool and collected and very mysteri- ous, g There are two ways of getting a dime out from under a cup without touching the cup: . First. Place it underneath the table and make some queer motions as if you were extracting it through a crack in the table. Act then as if you had the dime and say to the It's gone. Look and see if One of the other persons will then pick. up the cup to see. and petticoat * ® ¢ for the petticoat is an ememy to me. Sleeves, too, it would seem, are an enemy to Suzanne Lenglen, and to other .woman tennis players who, on the Southern courts are trying out the clothes women in the North will wear in the Summer. Rather than waste time devising a sleeve that would offer the least resistance to free arm motion they have eliminated sleeves entjrely. This seems to be an occasion where the men are willing to learn g lesson from the women. So. it comes to pass that of the new frocks designed primarily for tennis most of them are sleeveless. Skirts are short and fairly full—but no shorter nor fuller than skirts in gen- Coin Tricks. - when they have done this, you pick up the dime. You have got it without touching the cup. Second. If nobody bites on the first way, you can use the second. case there will have to be a cloth of fairly coarse weave on although an ordi tablecloth will do. Begin scratching the cloth at the edge of the cup, as if you were beckoning the dime to come out, al- ways making the motion away from the cup. Gradually the dime will work toward the side and, unless the cup is toéo heavy, will slide out under the edge.

For the rest there seems to be enough variety in the new tennis frocks to suit even Suzanne herself. To be sure there are well-dressed wom: en who choose conformity. They are happlest when they wear what seem: most nearly a uniform. They choose the sweater for tennis that seems most nearly standard, avoiding all those little expressions of personality that the French champion deems so desir- able.

When there was a large supply of herring they were salted down to be sold during the Winter | at a higher figure, and an smple sup- ply was also retained for use on the plantation.
