Photoplay Magazine if you go clown town to earn your bread and butter every day. If you are a home girl you have a still better chance to win real roses for your cheeks. It's surprising how you can walk away the blues, or a disappointment or a bad complexion. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. SHOULD you happen to have plenty of money to spend on walking clothes there are some wonderful Enjjlish things over this year — smart doggy tweeds, that combine comfort with good looks. And if you take your exercise in a motor, you will find some exquisite motor wraps over from Paris. They are designed this year in all manner of bright colors and many of them have leather trimmings that are really beautiful. I saw a polo coat the other day that Jean Patou — that wizard of clothes — sent over to a New York house. It was white polo cloth stitched in red silk and with a red patent leather belt. (You might tip your tailor off to that.) If you are a very busy girl and can only get away to the country for week ends, there is a new device just out that will considerably lessen the work of packing. It is a pleated skirt that can be made in any material — the one I saw was done in navy blue taffeta. It hangs from a thin silk underwaist that can be adjusted to any length the wearer wishes, and it is ideal for the sensible girl who has eliminated corsets from her wardrobe. There are three blouses designed to go with this skirt — for morning, afternoon or evening wear. So, if you select this costume, your packing of dresses may narrow itself down to putting in two extra blouses. By the way, I wonder if you have heard that the makers of riding habits haven't it all their own way in the matter of breeches this year? A great many of the new sports clothes are shown with the divided skirt and pantalette cuff, and this type of skirt has the advantage of being good looking and equalh' adaptable for walking, mountain climbing, tennis or golf. Practically every important creator of clothes has turned out some phase of the divided skirt and pantalette cuff this season. In habits, the latest thing is to have the breeches a shade lighter than the coat. Riding habits in Shepherd checks are always good— especially so this year. The girl who is clever with her needle can have plenty of pretty summer clothes at a small expense. One skirt of sports silk, in white or any of the bright tones, may be worn with half a dozen different blouses. These blouses for summer wear are long, straight affairs that can be easily made at home out of some of the lovely materials now being shown. The blouse that costs from $20 to $35 in the shops can be made for $s or $io. And if you cover a ten-cent hat frame with some of the same kind of material from which Riding habits in Shepherd checks are always good — especially so this year. No one can be unhappy long if she dons a gaily colored smock. Miss Talmadge prefers batik ones — but she has others of red, and sapphire blue, and burnt orange. 49 you made your blouse you will have a pretty sports rig that you can wear at any of the summer places. FOR my own wear I adore smocks, and always have a number of them, mostly batik, for I love bright colors. I have a little theory of my own that no girl can be unhappy very long if she dons a pretty red, or sapphire blue or burnt orange smock. Speaking of blue, there is a lovely shade the French call pervanche that is being used a great deal this summer, and there hasn't been so much red used in ages — perhaps a lot of people are finding out how much happier they are in brilliant tones than in dull black, or brown or gray. There is also a new shade of red, a wonderful llame color, that the French dressmakers are using considerably, both in materials for sports clothes and for embroidering on contrasting colors. Next in favor, is green in high jade and emerald tones. For porch wear we are going back to gingham and dimity, and there is, after all, nothing quite so girlish and charming as gingham for wear on hot mornings. I saw last week in one of the smart shops a little gingham frock that had been made for a lucky girl who will spend the summer at Newport. It was a brown and white check, exactly the same kind that our mothers used for kitchen aprons. The skirt was gathered on softly all around at a rather long waistline and had two V-shaped pockets on either side embroidered in wool in tones of red, green and brown. The plain, straight bodice had a square neck (Continued on page 115)
