CHICAGO.— The girl who plays I

garb for the summer play. A short

color and fabric.
The <|uiet spaces of a goh. course
are well adapted for the flaunting
of gay colors and silk and brushed
wool sweaters appear in every rain

cocoa brown and twilight grey for
variety. Skirts come in the accept
ed stripes and plaids, in wonderful *
new braided effects that sometimes
include tlm whole suit and banish
the sweater. There are also the
new silk knitted suits for golfing

down the calf of the leg .ifter a
particularly strenuous play, and
being fitted in the knotting with
ankle, calf and foot shaped by the
number of stitches, they hold their
shape through all sorts of hard
wear and much laundering. They
have a delightful ai ■ of belonging
with golf shoes.
The chief demands on the hat are
that it should be light and have a
little brim, just enough to shade
the eyes and not enough to ob
struct the view of the little white
ball. It may be plain or heavily
braided anil i mbroidered nd it may
be of any known color that har
