KNITTED ENSEMBLES FOR SPORTS
AFTERNOON FROCK IS IMPORTANT
Sportswomen who know fash-
ion turn to the knitted ensemble
as the costume Ideal to wear when
"playing the game" Incomparable
too for tour and travel wear Is the
general verdict In regard to knitted
apparel
As to accounting for the Increasing
favor expressed for knitted fashions
knitted wear Is Itself Its own best
“reason why" The" record of achieve-
ment daring the past several years In
tbs knitted Industry reads like a
fairy tale Perfectly amazing things
have been accomplished In the way
of daintiness '-llghtwelghtedness col-
orfulness and (‘style" y :
Those lacy frocks for Instance
fllmy as a cobweb which are being
featured this year In the sports col-
lections are actually knitted And
KNITTED SPORTS ENSEMBLE
the entrancing three-piece bouclette
suits I Of course the woman who Is
assembling a wardrobe of swanky
clothes will never think of passing up
as fascinating a proposition as these
knitted funtasies Assuming thut you
have grown wise as to the Importance
of white for this summer we suggest
that one of the number of sports cos-
tumes which you hope to acquire be a
tli roe-piece all-white bouclette You
will full In love with the blouse
(worn over or aa a tuck-ln) which is
included In these knitted trios — sheer
and lacy as can be To wenr'wlth
this you are perfectly Justified In
choosing white hnt white footwear
gloves a boutonniere of white violets
and a pocketbook also all white It’s
a white aeusna I
Of course If you yearn for color
then decide upon one of the adorable
AN AFTERNOON FROCK
pastel shades for the knitted three-
piece pale blue If you have been
reading up on French preferences or
delicate pink If It's more becoming
However see to It that all the acces-
sories are white for nguln let us re-
mind you— It's a while season I
However all's not white and pastel
tinted (hut’s knitted Just (he thing
for the day on the links Is a rich
green or radiant brown three-piece
fushlotted after the manner of the
model In upper picture The sleeveless
Juniper with Its surplice fastenings
1s the very essence of chic If you
re fond of circular skirts many of
the knitted milts have them this season-capes
too Instead of Jackets If
such be your choice
The afternoon frock Is again Im-
portant In the fashion world Was
s time not so long since when we
really forgot or rather the style pro-
gram did not demand that we change
our clothes for each passing daytime
eoclal event Sports sports how mo-
notonous It grew to be wearing sports
clothes for breakfast luncheon the-
ater bridge tea and even dinner
The real reason we did It was be-
cause there actually were up definite
luncheon afternoon and tea fashion
Having reached the point where sports
clothes were accepted even by "the
best of regulated” dressers as appro-
priate as anything we sometimes be-
came totally resigned and Just wore
them on through the dinner hour
' Admitted that we were not pictur-
esque or even particularly pretty thus
unlformetjf We believe the answerti
unanimously In the affirmative or
rather the negative— we were not I
To Improve the point that all this
Is changed the Illustration below shows
a charmingly Informal afternoon frock
of embroidered durene cotton It looks
os -It should according to the present
call of the mode decidedly afternoon
ish One would never piny tennis In
such feminine attire but one would
eat a summer luncheon In It or drink
Iced tea at live o’clock One wuuld
'sit on the country club porch playing
bridge of a warm afternoon but one
would never play golf to It
All of which goes to show that the
clothes question Is anything but a
“happy-go-lucky” proposition this sea-
son It requires Intelligent study as
to the appropriateness of things The
new rules gre really quite arbitrary-—
spurts for sports afternoon costumee
for afternoon and formal evening at-
tire for Just thut sod none other
Transgress the luw as to what'e what
In wearing eppnrel for this or that
time place and event and you are
well to say the least you are simply
not fushlonwlse not modern
Notwithstanding some few objec-
tions voiced at the outeet of this qew
regime women are completely won
over to title order of things whlcb
calls for “perfectly darling" summer
frocks made picturesquely Instead of
“sportsy" of loveliest mnterlnle chief
among which are handsome sllover
embroidered effects

ANDREW
OVERCAME
THE GREAT
OBSTACLE
© kr O J Walata)
Andrew Livingstone senior
partner of the law firm of
Livingstone Blakesly A Moore
was In love Strange after all
these years of contented bachelorhood
that be should fall In love He had
had ample opportunity of course Sel-
dom be returned to his clnb at night
that he was not handed a sheaf of
mall the majority of the square white
envelopes being addressed In feminine
handwriting He was overwhelmed
with Invitations to week-end- parties
debutante receptions bridge parties
theater parties motor parties and to
spite of all that he had fallen In love
with bis secretary Leila Candice who
was at this moment In the office ad-
joining hie her expert white fingers
busily engaged at her typewriter He
had always liked to watch her fingers
he even thought the third finger of
the left band bore a narrow band
He had been glad when he bad em-
ployed her a year before that her
name was Mrs Leila Candice He bad
bad two or three secretaries before
unmarried gay frivolous uninterest-
ed In their work young of course
Mrs Candice was not old possibly
twenty-eight or twenty-nine but she
had given him to understand she
needed work badly She bad never
been late bad exhibited exceptional
merit and ability and he loved her
But of course there was Peter!
She had not mentioned Peter for sev-
eral weeks after she had become hie
secretary and he bad begun to think
perhaps she was a widow In fact he
wae so sure she must be a widow
that he bad suggested a little dinner
after which they would return to the
office and finish up that particular
job over whlcb they bad been work-
ing together
“Thank you Mr Livingstone that
would be lovely but I can run home
on the subway and fix Peter’s dinner
and be back by the time you have re-
turned But I do thank you so much”
He bad not enjoyed his dinner that
night although his favorite waiter
had taken particular pains to serve
him carefully with the food he liked
best So there was Peter Hm-m-m-m
Well be was a lucky dog — Peter was
— that girl with her blue eyes and
molasses yellow hair colled low on
her neck— no bobbed hutr there I And
she knew how to wear clothes too
although she didn't have many
changes ‘tliut was true He hoped
Peter would get better soon — he must
be an Invalid or bis wife wouldn't
have to work— and relieve the strain
on her Tliut'was eight months ago
As time went on he was not so so-
licitous about Peter’s Improvement
Presumed she thought him a heart-
less old wretch never asking about
him Selfish old fool forty-four years
old and falling In love with a married
woman and jealous of her husband I
He should ask about Peter's heulth
of course but he could not bring him-
self to say “your husband" or even
“Mr Candice"
She mentioned Peter often In their
little cbnts over bis big desk of bis
fondness for the water and boats of
their rides on top of busses on moon-
light nights — moonlight nights— and
Leila Oh yes Andrew Livingstone
brilliant lawyer and club man was
very much in love Every morning
before pressing the buzzer that con-
nected his office with his secretary's
all these thoughts went through hls
head
She catue In a notebook In her
hand She wore a pleated silk skirt
of white and a blue blouse with a
round white collur and white cuffs
She looked better In that outfit than
most of the “debs" looked In their
pretty frocks
She seated herself In her usual
chair across from him and opened her
notebook
“Three engagement this morning
One at ten with Mr Smythe Mrs
Luce at eleven-thirty and luncheon at
one with Mr Crockett" Then she
udded “You look tired Mr Living-
stone Are you well?"
She was alwuya solicitous about
his heulth and It gave him a comfort-
able warm feeling about hie heart It
had been such a long time since he
had Imd anyone whd really seemed to
care He liked It
“Spring fever I think Mrs Can-
dice And yesterday I went on e trip
on Adnms' yacht down along the
sound and I was bored to death I And
am tired out— those social hounds
make me sick I"
She nulled brightly “Peter and I
had such a beautiful day! You will
laugh when I tell you where we went
—Coney Island I We eat In the sand
and watched the surf end had dinner
at a little Italian place and—”
“Please take a letter to the Cunard
line I think I ahull go to Europe In
July for a vacation I need It"
So Peter was able to go to Coney
Island was be end sit In the sand
end ent "spaghetti? Well that wns
that He'd go to France Maybe he'd
get over this fool notion this hoping
be dictated rapidly
'“I think that will he splendid for
you Mr Livingstone You do look
tired— and need a rest And If you'
do not mind I think I shall take my
vacutlon at the same time and go np
In the mountains to my annt’a little
camp there Peter and I will be regu-
lar Indians — play and sleep and eat
and hike We love It"
She left the office on Saturday for
her vacation and he was to sail the
following week He was going to
drive bp to Boston to see bis sister
for a few day before sailing and
would leave his car there While he
told her all this when she came In
to say goodby he held her hand In
his— the little white hand he loved to
wntch She was looking np at him
He wanted to bold her close and for-
get Peter
- “If yon drive to Boston" she was
saying “you will go straight by the
road tlmt leads Into our camp If—
If you have no particular dislike for
camp life won't you stop and have
lunch with Peter and me on yonr
way bp? We would love to have you"
Her blue eyes told him she wanted
him He didn't want to meet Peter
but he accepted with alncrlty It
would mean he could see her again
U wag very hard to say "goodby" to
Leila Candice
She gave him minute directions to
their camp and be found her waiting
for him when he drove up the next
Tuesday She wore a blue checked
gingham dresg and her usually sleek
hair was disheveled by the wind
“We are having a beautiful time al-
ready Skipper the dog and Peter
and me Had a picnic yesterday and
saw such a beautiful sunset over the
mountains” She whistled shrilly a
peculiar call “Lunch Is ready and
Peter Is down at the trout stream
fishing” she explained
He was sitting with his back to the
door watching Leila aa she moved
about In the little kitchen beyond
when he heard steps on the gravel
walk Peter was coming! He found
himself tense as he waited He was
going to meet Peter at last and then
something whirled through the air and
landed plop -on the knees of hie care-
fully pressed trousers It wae a very
small very slippery very much alive
fish attached to a string that extend-
ed over bis shoulder to the out-of
doors behind him He Jumped to hie
feet and swung around He beard
Leila gusp and then—
“Pe-teerl You naughty naughty
boy What have you done?"
“I’m sorry muvver" Bald the small
sun-browned overall-clad boy In the
doorway as he slowly wound np the
slack line on his reel drawing the
squirming fish toward him across the
floor “You -see Skipper Jumped at
the fish and Ifrew It up tn the air
to fool him and the line unwound
and it came straight In the door” He
turned to Livingstone and looked up
at him with Leila Candice’s blue eyes
“I'm sorry" he repeated "cuz muv-
ver said I must be a very very good
boy when the nicest man In all New
York -came to see us today and she
said she liked him most ns much as
she — did me"
"Peter" said Andrew Livingstone
“how long will It take you ami me to
drive to the nearest telephone? I have
two calls to mnke — one to caucel my
reservation to Europe and the other
to tell my sister I’m stranded for a
week or so by the wayside but she
cun expect us all luter ou our honeymoon"
Tanning Process Traced
to Prehistoric Times
Since the days when our early an-
cetors used sand and wood ashes In
preparing the skins of aulmals for
clothing 'until the present day when
close to one hundred chemicals total-
ing many thousands of tons yearly are
consumed by the leather Industry
chemistry hns played au Important
part In leather production says Chem-
icals Markets business magazine of
the chemical Industry
Primitive man did not renllze that
when he used sour milk and various
oils and fats he wns a pioneer In the
use of lactic arid neiitsfoot oil and
tallow In Icutlier manufacture And
of course he could not foresee tlmt In
modern days the bichromate would re-
place his ouk bark methods reducing
the 12-months’ process to a 12-day one
The history of tunning goes far back
Into prehistoric times being on even
earlier stnge of mini's development
than agriculture The original process
of curing skins wns probably simply
cleaning nad drying Later on smoke
sour milk various oils and brains of
anlmnl8 were found to Improve the
texture of the skin Even today tho
seal killed by the Eskimo Is still
skinned hy the family and the hide
chewed Into plluhle material for gar-
ments by the women
But among primitive peoples It must
he remembered that the leather wns
In but slight danger of decay or de-
struction by vermin since the garment
was In constant use Aa civilization
progressed and nmn changed 111
clothes better preservative methods
becurne necessary
Confused
According to Marco Helltnan the
flnuneler romance Is fast disappear-
ing In the advance of sophisticated
youth
"The other day" he suld "a very
charming young Indy lu my employ
tendered me her resignation
“'What's this I' I asked 'lu surprise
'Are you dissatisfied with your po-
sition or le It thut you are gulag to
get married?'
“‘1— I am not quite sure' stam-
mered the girl 'You see sir last
night Mr B came and umde me
proposition but he wont about It In
such s businesslike way tlmt I'm not
quite sure whether he wnnta me for
wife or ' confidential secretary But
J know he Wnnte me'"
Make Profitable Use of
1 Time to Get Result
Sometimes we are so utterly dull
and out of touch with the stimulus
of life that we complain how time
hangs upon our hands The truth
Is time neither flies nor remains
still It moves onward at exactly
the same rate today as It did a mil-
lion years ago What Is happening
is an alteration In our reaction to
time All these points of view arise
out of a changed state of our mind
One moment we see things one way
—the next the same things have an
entirely different color That Is
why one day time seems to be fleet-
' Ing and another to drag
Time Is always with us and all
we have to do Is to occupy ourselves
In a way that will produce the best
and greatest results This means
thinking ou a constructive basis so
that every moment of life Is spent
In such a manner as to have In It
but a minimum Of waste— Ex-
