ARCHERY COSTUMES.

ting up Of costumes Nowwe enter, for with
this part Of the business we have much to do.
We viii premise by observing that at present
one is nobody, if one does not belong to an
archery club. Piano playing is superseded,
Ope-atic screams are hushed, and when one
does no coaching one practices shooting st a
target All this Of eouse gives wonderful
impulse to short costumes. Every known
device is resorted to in order to render them
just rs eoquettiah as possible Chiefest of all
perhaps, our would be Dianas affect Hunters
green, and this really chzrzring color thereby
takes rank as extremely stylish. It is effect
lively contrasted with pale shades of Rapane,
or the costume may be composed Of Hunters
green hghtened by Admixturea. Then again
we find brilliant combinations Of divers hues,
to say nothing of the dazzling results Of gilt
or silver braiding, buttons, and other metal
ornaments. Let me add word about vests.
lis not inappropriate, for just now the vest,
in more uses than one, lies close to the fem
mime kesrt The expenditure of thought in
this direction is something marvellous, but
there is good deal to show in return.
Vests are now even sold separately, and worn
upon occasion with different suits. Black
costumes are relieved by the most masculine
of white vests, pique, Turkish travelling or
black and white checked Richer vests are
of striped silk or brocade.
BATHING AND YACHTING SUITS
Yachting suits are of navy blue or corn
bstiste, relic, ed by braiding in which anchors
are conspicuous The irrepressible kilt skirt |
appears. Sometimes the waist is a plated |
blouse to match, or sgain, it is in one with |
the skirt. The sailor collar, with anchor IN |
the corners, Is an indispensable finish. The
innate ugliness Of bathing suits are modified
by additions of fancy braiding, and here also
we find little anchors worked on sailor collar
and cuffs. For material both flannel and
serge are employed; the latter of course be.
ing preferable, but more expensive. Flannel
suits vary from IS to $40; serge from ss to
$l5. Scarce in this connection, yet too pref
ty to be passed by, are some costumes lately
seen Walking and house costumes let it be
understood. The first vas walking CO.'S
