v ascs have e WOM Wider Demand for Sports Clothes BY MARY Scveral ‘well dressed women of modern tastes have now adopted the plan of confining their wardrobes to evening clothes and the specles of things *that we now broadly call sports clothes. The more elaborate creations which are known as after- noon costumes they eliminate entire- ly. Such French dressmakers as Patou, Chanel and Regny have been auick to take advantage of thi prejudice against the conservative formal sort of aiternoon frock and have made so-called sports frocks| that are really quite suitable for THIS IS THE MUCH-TALKED-OF SPORTS EVENING FROCK MADE BY GROULT OF PAR SHE U ‘LOTH _OF GOLD WITH BA OF TURQEOISE 3 OR THIS MODEI practi every afternoon occasion.

The idea ring a_ “sports frock” to an_afternoon at home or even to a wedding seems odd enough —but we have grown accustomed it.

But the idea of wearing a | e frock for dinner or for evening | dancing is still a little surprising. | | True, some of the younger women, | | likessome of the men, have craved the | | privilege of appearing for dinner and | | informal dancing in sports attire. | They seem to think there is something rather swagger about that sort of | thing. And now by extending the | idea we have actual dinner and eve- | ning frocks amusingly based on the sports idea. You couldn’t possibl mistake them for daytime sports clothes—but they are unmistakably modeled on the sports ideal. Mme. Groult has made little eve- ning frocks consisting of a short, straight pleated skirt, with a sleeve- less jumper blouse on top. The neck is a little low and a sports kerchief 18 knotted over one shoulder. o (Copyright, 1926.)

In some places, like Key West, there is | | not a drop of fresh water. It has to | | be sent down the railroad that crosses | | the keys in great tank cars, and must | |be used sparingly. Where a dense | | population in the East Indies demands | intensive agriculture, rice is grown on | | mountain terraces. To keep the fields saturated with water, men. women and children spend their lives car ing water up in vessels on their backs |and pouring the precious fluid out on | the thirsty mountain side. | Now what do you know about that? | Answers to Yesterday's Questions. | 1.

CATHERINE, Answer: A clever old maid said once that it was better to be laughed at because you were not married than not to be able to laugh because you were married.” And that about sums up the situation, Catherine. Undoubtedly an ideal marriage, in which a man and woman find their real mates, in which love and peace reign, comes nearer to being a bit of heaven on earth than anything else in the worl. But the reverse of this is equally true and there is no other such understudy, of purgatory as a mismated cotiple finds in an uncongenial and unhappy marriage. So there you are, and it depends upon how much sporting blood you have .whether vou take a chance on the greatest gamble ever devised. = < s /thinking that you are missing all the worth-while things by not mar that merely shows how archaic their ideas are. Nobody pities the unmarried woman in these days. On the contrary, she is an object of envy. And it is oftener the poor, harassed. wornout wife and mother who weeps out her troubles on the spinster’ than it is the spinster who asks for a vote of sympathy from her mar friends, In olden days it was a forlorn thing t8 be an old maid, because a woman'’s meal-ticket and her social position depended upon her catéhing a husband, and so for her to remain single was a confession of failure and a badge of defeat. But nowadays the world is full of such a number of things besides a husband for a girl that marriage is optional, not compulsory, and she is left to follow her own inclinations in the matter.
