PLUS FOURS FOR TENNIS GIRLS
AMERICAN MEN PLAYERS SET THE FASHION Women have followed rapidly the dress lead given by some American men players whoo are wearing white plus fours''- on the English tennis courts- Tennis plus fours for women are providing the thrill of the moment.

The plus fours are very baggy and roomy, and usually are made with pleats to increase the material that go to their making. They

A sleeveless white jumper is worn with them. ' The entirely satisfactory tennis wear for women, it would seem, has yet to be thought of.
