Shorts-—dainty white pleated ones — are the latest dictum of fashion for women tennis players. ■ Tennis fashions have changed so completely to-day that women players who wear stockings look frumpish. Men are discarding the long trousers in favour of shorts, led by “Bunny” Austin. Spectators at a tennis' party given to-day by ' Lady Crosfield were' amazed when Mrs ■Feamley-Whittingstgll, a leading English competitor at Wimbledon last week, discarded a long scarlet coat, revealing shorts as brief, as those of a chorus girl. ■> The Daily Mail says that Mrs Whittingstall is pretty and capable enough to get away- with this sort of thing.

Tfc is rumoured that Mrs Helen Wills Moody also has a pair of tennis shorts wti'th . which-.-she - may ! yet electrify Wimbledon.
