NOTES. .

Lno WOMpen OF To-Day have great love
for NIL sorts OF sports, and give them-
selves upl3Ao thom with much grace and
boldness.h Horseback riding, driving
gymnastiI !awn.tennis aud hunting
ore al ohs .4atAg and ihehiti,fui n,nnse;
ments. Now that yelocipodos aro in
f fey%sd EN- p1o \ %ai Eoal of is the p naao sra into
riding courses. For this now kind Of
ienoo witlS grace III tho coz i'm Q. The
hunting dress gonoraliy adopted, with a
little chal|ge solves the problem. We
hayo seen,at IL of our dress makers,
two yery pretty v%elooipedes costumes,
designed for two young girls. Ono
entirely White, is composed of pulled
trowscrs held ut the knees i'll CATERS Of
white cl9yh; the skirt of tho same cloth
being r4de quito narrow. A littIo,
round jackot with two buttons, open on
n cllomisotto Of blue ani white striped
bntisto. Tho belt was of leather, the
collar stiff with n regatta cravat of white
silk; the sleeves rcsombled those OF
mons SHIFTS closed by double gold bars.
Tho hat Of Tyroloan shape was of groy
folt.
Tho other costume, for ayoung girl
fiftccn ycAfs old, was in narrow blue
rvigonc," tho skirt ploatcd and tho
blouse cor}ngo open, in shawl shape.
upon u waistcoat Of red and blue strip
ed cotton, with u sailor collar. Tho
straight sleeves wero closed ut tho waist.
Leathorn lcggins and hat Of white oiled
linen.
These costumes aro tho newest of the
now. Wo know thcy will not interest
all tho word, but we arc forced to follow
the ciryanC., In SO far rs vclocipcde
exercise ispracticcd in private grounds,
and among intimatos, we approve it
Otherwissjt is not pleasing. We can
excuse tEis bnrbarism but it is not
according to our sense of refinement.
We like jerry much tho largo Ulcma
veil in embroidered tullo and lace,
woven like tho lnrgo Marie Antoinotto
scarf, of which we havo SO many times
spoken, md that is especially manufac-
turcd for vols. With tho lnrgc, felt
hats nothing is prcttier, more elegant
or moro %c5quettish than this long scarf
moro thnn thrco yards long, which on
velopcs the hat and the head, covers
tho face and is knottod in front according
to the fancy or caprice Of tho wcnrcr.
These wells will have great success this
season, and VIC know many refined ladies
who hnvealready triod,thcm md found
many new ways Of draping and knotting
them. Under tho folds Of this ample
veil, tho hair is sh filtered from tho wind
and II q,n go out to tho theatre with
tho head wrapped completely III its
folds.
Many pretty toilpttes havo boon seen
Mt tho races md at tho brilliant fctcs
which hnyp boon given during the last
NpnnL +. A UNfxr Nt,nff,y ,,,N han 1<o<,> .on~
of straw solorcd "Siciicnnc'' striped
with Egyptian brown. The skirt is
quito rognd, forming III tho back two
largo fofls with triple and uuadruplc
plaits. Fhc corsago las n vost front,
while tl4 back is cut princess fashion.
A crossed waistcoat, IN ~straw-colorcd
China c|opo. dcscends on tho right side
to fornj n small tab fastened undcr n |
knot of latin ribbon. The same ribbon
passes lilo n band across tho bottom OF
tho wai3 and furnishes ut tho left two
loops with onds. The short sleeves arc
cut on tpc bias; the necklace is of black !
plumeslnd the white gloves arc loaded
with chlins Of all sorts and rings from
all conitrics. Bracelets hnvo never |
boon wd.n 80 much rs now. We would
not be Surprised to SEQ our ankles orna.
mentch| Will them some day; for our
.AAs9ls nntqhc Observation-Disclosures.
tlfe band466fl Ill sorts, forwhich thoro
seems b BIO SO great a passion. Our
artistic jewellers have added to these,
many designs Of a bizarre, rs well MS OF
M original taste. Among these orna-
ments we find oman oils, hcavy Moorish
rings Of silver, pieces Of Persian money,
garncts from Bohemia andtall sorts of
strnngo valuable st@ncs, with which tho
bracelets and chal1s Of today, which
never seem too hcafy, or too numerous,
nro set.
