Gay Sports Clothes Flaunt Late Vogue For Longer Skirts Three Inches Below Knee Considered Smart For Girls By DIANA MERWIN (Associated Press Fashion Kdltor) PARIS your sports frocks short" is the style slogan for the sports clothes which will be included to bridal trousseaux this spring. Four Inches below the knee Is the maximum length for smart sports the edict of longer street frocks. Three Inches below Is considered even smarter for young slim figures. Sports clothes this spring are designed for active play, and built to give maximum comfort with minimum fullness. In color they are as gay and often combine similar tints.

Two colors are scarcely enough for the fashionable sports ensemble three are smarter. Iris, blue, currant red and pink beige; crimson, sapphire blue and white; daffodil yellow, leaf green and wood brown are among the striking combinations used for play-time clothes. Even plaids have turned from conservative hues, often displaying such combinations as violet, lemon yellow and wine red. The one-piece frock worn with the hip-length coat and bright scarf or the three-piece suit are still prime favorites for sports wear. One of the smartest golf costumes is a green wool suit flecked hi brown, finished with a knitted brown scarf and worn with a lemon yellow wool blouse.

Cardigan sweaters with matching scarf beret are also used to complete a smart ensemble. The bride who plays tennis want at least one white sports frock in her trousseau, made of knitted wool or patterned men's silk shirting. With it she may wear a watermelon sweater and brown silk scarf patterned with watermelon dots or a currant-red velveteen sports coat and a blue and cur- ranted striped scarf. Sports hats cling to collapsible beret lines, with knitted straws or wools the favorites. Shurtleff Grad Runs Coldwater, Paper R.

This particular variety during the past several years has enjoyed an abundant growth, and a steady demand both In local and foreign markets has been noticeable. However, this year's supply will fall short in comparison with other years.
