Riding habits are undergoing great
change, and one which fills the heart of
tie man dress maker with dismay. La
dies are now finding out that jerseys are
easier to ride in than the stiff .'habit
basque" of late years, and they are
adopting them, and riding skirts are no
longer made so tight that the wearer has
to button them all the way up. The
skirts are now made yard and n half
long and only the front breadth is gored.
The rest is plated in at the sides and
back. The skirts are two yards and Il
half around. The effect is thus far
more graceful and pleasing to the eye.
1t is to be hoped, however, that ladies
will not run into the other extreme and
make the skirts so long as TO be danger
Gus. The trousers will moi be discarded.
Riding hats, also, are to be changed,
and now, instead of high hats, or jockey
or derby, widc-b rimmed and soft felt
hat with long, sweeping plume will be
worn. 1t not infrcqucntly happens that
the inside of parasol receives more
decorations than the cover. A green
parasol is considered very chic if pale
