Since it is difficult to tell just when you will be called upon to play in a game of quoits, it is well to keep in practice with your bracelets, seems to be the opinion of the lady in the picture who is just about to ring the stake with her amber circlet.

Sets of from four to eight bracelets have become part of the equipment of the smart Parisian women, according to Henri Creange, the fashion authority. Sometimes they are all of the same material, sometimes a rainbow of iridescent glass. If a number are to be worn they must be quite small unless you wish to cripple yourself. For the single bracelet a wide, old-fashioned gold band is often seen.

The dress illustrated, of rose colored Frostkrepe, a substantial crepe weave with a characteristic sparkle, itself offers scope for athletic achievements. It hangs loosely from the shoulders, the belt being a decorative rather than a confining influence. The short sleeves are loose and the neck line, with its wide rolling collar and V offers a great deal of freedom to the neck.

The pleats, which summer always brings upon us are present in full force. In this frock they are however combined with plain material in a most interesting manner. The pleated panel down the front and back is framed in plain material which follows the V in front and makes a straight yoke across the back. The tunic flies loose over a tight underskirt which, it should be noticed is slit at the beltline to allow the belt to go under it and buttons up or the waist in a tab about three inches wide.
