FASHION NOTES,

more imam ever D6IOfe is III Tile FASHION
this season for young women to indulge
in vigorous out-o'-door sports. Riding,
driving, rowing, sailing and shooting
will make up much larger part of
their programme for summer amuse-
ments than will dancing in the great
hotel halls or flirting along the beach.
When the huntreSS returns from her
pastime afield, with rosy cheeks and
buoyant step, the young mans anger
meltS within him, such charming APP
pearance does she make. Her heavily
killed brown cloth skirt reaches only
to the knee, while tan-leather
leggings are buttOned up the
side over her low-heeled, broad-sOled,
laced, pigskin shoes. A brown cloth
Norfolk jacket, belted at the waist. dis
closes at the throat the broad collar OF
white flannel shirt, beneath which is
knotted white silk tie. All the bright
brown hair is brushed smoothly back
under close-fitting brown fOre-and-aft
cap and pinned at the back in fiat
Dutch roll. AS she holds her hand
somely-mounted rifle with no fearful
feminine grasp and chats gayly to re-
triever trotting at her heels no more
charming Diana ever stepped from the
woods than this our modern huntreSS.
''But | can only wear such rig as this
in these woodland wilds." she explains
regretfully. sin the suburbs of New

Here comes our canoeist in a blue
and-white rowing dress, an oar over her
shoulder and guiltless of even parasol
to guard her face from the healthy tan
the sun has painted on her rosy cheeks.
The full gathered, tucked, blue flannel
skirt Just escapes her ankles giving her
freedom in stepping in and out OF her
boat without danger of tripping over
her nose. Instead of blouse waist
corresponding in color to the skirt.
white duck is worn. The wide sailor
collar is braided i'll white and wide
brimmed white felt hat takes the place
of a sailor straw or Tam o'Shanter.
With hushed whirr of wheels and
clatter of horses feet the riders of tri-
cycle and horse race down the hill and
add the variety of their costumes to the
little group of spOrtsWOmen collected
before the now speeches. young man.
The tricyclist costume is combination
of that worn by the huntress and canoe
list. Her flannel skirt of a dark grren
is shirred close about the hips, then fall
ing Just to the ankles, where feet Shod
with the fiat-SOed, heelleSS canvas ties,
admirably fitted for work ON the
treadles, will never become ertan-
gled in Tapping draperies. A blue
and-white striped flannel shirt. admi-
rably set off by little gold link buttons
at the cuffs and tiny pin thrust in the
four-in-hand tie, does duty in place of
an ordinary blouse waist, A round
sailor straw decorated with the conven-
tional ribbon is held Oh the head by a
rubber band passed under the braids of
hair pinned low at the back.
The riders habit, picturesque from its
extreme simplicity, in variance to the
accepted rule. shows a point of white
pique vest at the throat where the coat
turns back and where it is cut away a
bit at the bottom.
For horseback riding the silk hat is
most worn, but for morning canterS in
the park or on country roads round
crowned felt derbys are appropriate.
A new device in ladies' riding whips
is the short plated cord handle now
Topped at the end and set with silver.
The yachting caps made for women
are rather unbec0ming, with narrow
visors which afford no protection to the
eyes. IT'S better, then, on the whole,

A size to fit woman's head may be
found by hunting over the hatter's sum-
mer stock.
Accordion plated skirts for street
gowns and gayer gowns toilets have be-
come of late little vulgarized by over
doing the fashion, but for the point Of
useful convenience nothing has yet
been discovered that is such boon to
the tennis player. Heretofore the full
skirt had to be gathered or plated, so
laying an ugly bulk of material about
the waist. But with the accordion
plaits the requisite fullness is obtained
and the fullnesS about the waist is
sensibly diminished. i
The rubber-sOled boots as seen in the
shoe-shop windows appear awkward to
walk in, and, having no heel, one
would conjectureothat they would tire
the foot, but for climbing mountains
and long walks they will be found inn
peratively necessary. ID
Solid silver powder boxes resembling
chatelain purses are now in favor. Set
inside of the lid is the mirror. The
powder is folded in a piece of handker-
chief reserved for that purpose, and the
skillful manner in which a girl will
open box of this sort and make up in
a ball room or at dinner table is some
