TKT silver lame knit at a dance or, in white leather, under your best spring suit. Even the talented young men and women who play the company of actors in i i Pirandello's "Six Characters In Search of An Author" at the Martinique in New York wear vivid Henry Higgins sweaters, colored corduroys, stretch pants, striped overblouses and such costuming that datelines the play, quite suddenly, in 1963. The contemporary sporting look par excellence and the setting, backstage in a theater. (Copyright 1943) By NATALIE GITTELSON Fashion has never been so good to lovers of the sporting life as it is right this very minute.

Time was and not so long ago when you practiced your backstroke or went off to the links or the bowling alley in nothing more sensational than a pair of serviceable shorts and a T-shirt. Fashion had not yet knocked on the door of the sports world. But this summer, there are proper, perfect and exciting clothes for every game under the sun. They dress up the look of the sports arena, certainly. But even more important, they make every game better fun to play.

Because each design is now truly and specifically functional created to take account of the particular movements of the particular sport (with no sacrifice of fashion, of course). a tiny, separate skirt and a simple tank top, offers full freedom in motion. One-piece white ar i bound in red or navy, shaped with a flaring skirt and a princess bodice, is elementary enough. For after tennis, buy a little waist-length navy orlan cardigan and stitch onto it a tennis racket emblem. FOR SAILING (who doesn't nowadays), 1 1-bottom trousers look newer than shorts.

You can tie them against your leg when the going gets rough. They look great with a scoop-necked (this year) cotton T-shirt. The big news for confirmed shorts addicts is that shorts, this summer, are shorter than ever cut right up to the very top of the thigh. Wear them whenever you like, with this major exception: They are now inadmissable in public places, such as supermarkets, movie houses and so on even if you're only seventeen years old. If you must wear shorts everywhere, be sure that they're old-style Bermudas.

The only sport that has remained fairly status quo this season is that old traditional one, horseback riding. The most chic riders now like blue tweed jackets with pale blue shirts and matching socks. Breeches: canary or brown. But the conventional black velvet cap has been replaced by brilliant colors, as far out as yellow and red. NEWEST SPORTS footing (but not yet slated to replace the classic sneaker) is the soft suede, laced-up ghillie and the T-strapped suede grasshopper, modelled after a modern dancer's practice shoe.

This whole, casual, easy-does-it sporting-life look has seeped into nearly every nook and cranny of American life. Bell-bottom trousers turn up in patterned silk on the patio for din Margot Drybrough, 9, and Ann Tobin, 6. Parents of the girls are Mr. and Mrs. Stanley H.

Puckett, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas R. Drybrough and Mr. and Mrs.

John P. Tobin. (Star Photo) Children of the neighborhood join Mrs. Milo H. Stuart in a leisurely search for the wild flowers of spring.

Bloodroot is the discovery of the moment for (left to right) Sheryl Puckett, 8 years old; Mrs. Stuart; Take tennis. The nicest, most wonderfully comfortable way to look on the courts is: dressed in a dress. A short little, white little dress, to be sure but surely not shorts. (It's refreshing to be able to tell the girls from the boys at more than twenty paces.)

The dogwood has lots of faith. It puts out its buds in August when other trees are preparing for winter. It knows the winter will be cold, but it isn't afraid!" she remarks. Years ago Mrs. Stuart and the late Mr.

Stuart decided to build a woods, where not even a spear of grass had been growing. Armed with a tape measure they went to a wooded section and measured distances and directions of the trees. Following nature's blue print, they planted their woods with such astounding results that a florist later said, "If I had not known this property before, I would not believe that you had made this." BACK FROM a favorite vacation spot of many Indianapolis people, Sanibel Island, are Mr. and Mrs. Garver Wheeler.

The perfect weather, beautiful island, accommodations right on the beach all add up to a wonderful vacation. The island, a wild life sanctuary, boasted a eagle's nest and osprey on its nest, both marked for the viewers by bandannas nearby, report the Wheelers. The couple joined everyone else on the island in shelling. "Every time you look out on the beach, day or night, you see people walking along with their heads down, looking for shell observed Mrs. Wheeler.

Sanibel is reportedly one of the most famous shelling spots in the world. MANY PARK School mothers have returned from Florida, after a well deserved rest from work on the Garden Tour. Some of them are Mr. and Mrs. Rex D.

Linkhous, son, Rod, and daughter, Julia, St. Petersburgh, Cape Canaveral, and Boynton I across the way." Mrs. Stuart's fund of knowledge about nature is profound, just as it is about many and varied subjects. For many years teachers from neighboring School 70 have brought pupils to view Mrs. Stuart's spring flowers of infinite variety.

Too, Scouts and biology pupils discovered this haven of flowers, trees, and birds. Often when Mrs. Stuart sees someone in her yard looking at some tree or flower, she will come outside to relate an interesting fact about the plants she loves so well. "I wonder just how many people know that flowers start blooming in February in Indiana, even with snow on the ground?" she asks. Snow drops, white and dainty, are followed by a regular procession of the spring lovelies: Jack in the pulpit, wild ginger with its dark maroon coloring, Dutchman's breeches, wild orchids, yellow, purple, or white violets, pepper and salt, wild poppies, wild iris, and the commonest of all, bloodroot.

The children are always Interested in "blood" from this plant, which was used by the Indians for war paint. A tour around Mrs. Stuart's yard is interesting and Instructive and each growing thing seems to be a friend. -ms flickering "m0 here, vise The more you wear them, tke We IHlave Ami "After-Easter" IFC Group Schedules Luncheon The annual meeting of the Seventh District of the Indiana Federation of Clubs will be held from 10:30 until 2:30 o'clock Friday in the Sheraton-Lincoln Hotel.
