The Mexicans themselves live much
more cheaply than we do. The morning
meal, even among the richest classes, con-
sists of only cup of chocolate or coffee,
with plain bread or sweet cake. The Mex
leans eat this by dipping it into the choco-
late, and they often take this meal in bed.
Coffee is served in your rooms at all the
hotels, if you desire it, and If you live like
Mexicans you will find your charges much
less. The second breakfast is served at II
or 1 O'Clock, and at this all the family sit
down, and it is really dinner rather than
a breakfast. Soup is always served at it,
and the Mexicans have 100 different kinds
of soup The evening meal is taken about
O'Clock and at this the family meet, as at
the second breakfast No work is done by
any one in Mexico for about two hours
after this midday breakfast, and the BUSH
ness hours here are from 9 to II and from
10 s. Between 1 and 3 the whole city
sleeps or gossips, and after Z O'Clock you
will find none of the stores open. Mexi-

horse. Is there anything more immodest
in it than there would be if she were
seated on a side saddle with her skirt
drawn so tightly as to reveal every line of
her figure? 3
German women generally ride in this
way. So do the Mexicans, the Rouman-
ians and the Austrians.
The picture here given was taken at the
last horse show in Berlin, and the costume
was worn by young Mexican lady. The
bodice is made in the usual jacket shape
and the loose skirt is divided up the front
and back. 1t is provided with buttons SO
that it can be opened or closed at will.
When the rider wishes to dismount and
walk she can button up her skirt. front
and back, and it appears like an ordinary
street costume. During the sharpest gallop
it covers and Grapes her limbs, and should
she mount and dismount ever so awk-
wardly the appearance is decent. Beneath
the folds of the skirt are wide cloth or vel
vet trousers. High top boots are worn
with them and a small round felt hat or a
high beaver.
At the most fashionable riding school in
New York eight women were found who
signifed their willingness to go for can
ter in the park in such habit. But alas,

not bold enough to sally forth. Not that
they feared that they would make an I'M
pleasant display of figure, but the reason
of their hesitancy was wholly due TO the
fact that they knew that they would be
stared at, and possibly followed by curious
passers-by.
Newport women are more interested
now in wedding trousseaux than In riding
habits Every trousseau, to be sure, In
cludes its one, two or even three habits to
be worn in the country or in town. But
the fashionable ladies of Newport are TAX
ing a much greater interest in the gowns
which have arrived to fit out the trous-
seaux of the latest Newport brides.
Nearly all of the brides belong to Mrs.
Russell's Delsarte school, chaperoned and
presided over by Mrs. Whitney and Mrs.
Paran Stevens. and society people are fairly
on the qui vive to know what curiositles of
costumes may be selected in order to give
the true Delsarte touch TO the trousseaux.
Everything must be loose and everything
must be clinging. And everything must
be sort of compromise between the aver
age dressmaker's idea Of gown and the
Delsarte conception of the same. Some
very pretty costumes have been the result
of the effort to be aesthetic and yet conven-
tional.
Here is one of Miss Sallie Hargous' cos

OF buttons on the opposite side. None of
the double-breasted fall cloaks are to be
fitted out with two rows of buttons
At one of the last Saratoga parties of the
season, a particularly striking gown had
large bean patterns in gold and white on
black ground. Another had black figures
on yellow gown, and still another had
lilac hgures on white.
The delicate slimness which young Mrs
John Jacob Aston affects is bearing fruit in
the newest fashions of the fall season.
The slimmest OF girls are not infrequent-
ly seen wearing the tight fitting princess
robe
The "baby dress" is general favorits
because it Is one of those accommodating
fashions that make slim figure look Slim
mer and stout one appear more slender.
The 'baby dress" is made upon a well fit
ting princess lining.
The waist is loose and is gathered to a
yoke of a contrasting color. The waist is
then fastened at the belt by broad sash.
The skirt is provided with full ruffie
around the foot The latter must never be
omitted. Many like to heighten the
youthful effect by a broad collar of the
same material as the yoke. Light hued,
delicate fabrics are particularly pretty
made up in this way.
A straw Tam O'Shanter is something of
a novelty. The accepted ones are of red
straw, with white tracery, or a white
straw with red tracery Cords running
across the top hold the feathery red pom
pom in place.
The natty little "Tams" have hitherto
been worn only at summer places, but a

the two motions of typhoon. The
nearer you get to the center the more vio-

new play that there is fair prospect that
the coming winter will see the fashionable
ladies of New York riding horseback
astride. Miss Coglan' prances about the

firmly and without apparent effort, that
women are beginning to think that. after
all, there isn't anything so terribly immod-

Of course we all know that ever so MANY
things are permitted upon the stage which

dancing, tights, knee breeches and war
paint are necessary and everyday stage
properties. but that does not make them
popular on the street.
But with the riding habit it is different.
1t really is. A woman who can ride horse

people to turn and give her a second

Now, Miss Coghlan and other graceful
riders claim that if some compromise

ventlonal woman's riding habit and the
suit which is worn by man that the
style would Immediately become popular

Here beckoned the opening door,

Kissed by the green waves of the BAY,
