The Yachting Cap In the Metropolis.
While the women in Chautauqua are or
ganizing reforms In dress 1t might be well
to form q vigilance committee in New
York to prowl about the streets with rifles
aud cut off the men who arc adding to the
general depression of the season by their
startling combinations in the matter of
summer costumes. Pm afraid that the ac-
tors ON upper Broadway are responsible
for much of this outburst of incongruity,
but there is a good deal of 1t everywhere.
To see large and wabbly man parading
complacently along Broadway in a freck
suit and wearing finicky looking yacht
ing cap on top of a palpably bald head is
one of the things that reconcile one to life
In the suburbs. A frock suit on q yacht Is
quite es appropriate as yachting cap on
Broadway. Another combination that is
alarmingly prevalent IL q suit of white
flannel and a shiny beaver hat. Yesterday
/ saw a number Of men with light shoes,
black derby hats. silk shirts belted in at
the waist and long tailed coats; but the
yachting cap fever seems to be the fiercest
and apparently fat men are particularly
susceptible to their fascination. It has
long been noted that very fat women al
ways wear small chip sailor hats.
In car the other day sat directly op-
posite large man and larger wifi, whose
habby faces were almost beatific in their
look of satisfaction. l think together the
pair must have weighed at least 400
pounds. The woman wore q sailor hat
which would have been small for a ten
year rold girl. 1t enlarged the apparent
size of her face about six fold. The mans
oountenance was aorid and puffy. He had
a small tuft of hair upon his chin and bis
eyebrows ran suddenly aloft from the
bridge of his nose at an inquiring angle.
Perched at . rakish cast over one eye was
beautiful little yachting cap with polka
dot band and the owners initials in gold
braid in front. Nothing could possibly
have been more grotesque than the look of
sweet and gentle triumph which both of
those large and habby faces wore.-New

fho lectures upon dress reform that
MrA Parker has been giving at Chatau-
qua have revived interest In that some
what worn subject
The woman's council, which met last
winter IN Washington. spent nearly .
day discussing various plans for Coz
tuning business women. Miss VIII
lards sole idea about tho matter was
pocketa "Have at least six good. big.
stout pockets she said. land then build
tho dress around them" This suggcs-
ton Is doubtless good, but not very
definite.
Mrs. Parker offers . number Of plans
for reform dresses, but they are not par
ticularly new. nor would they be pretty
on all women
There are women 80 blessed by nature
that nothing will disguise their lowell
ness. but unfortunately these happy ones
are not In the majority, and the indi-
vidul who offers . new scheme for
dressing women must evolve something
that is pretty and becoming as well as
comfortable, otherwise the great mass OF
women will not have il. There Is some
thing radically wrong with woman
who doesn't want to look rs well as she
can. and 30 far al the dress reform cos
TUNES that have been offered are unmis-
takably queer.
Now, with all due Difference TO MrA
Parker and the other good women who
arc striving to make their sisters moro
comfortable, they certainly do lose
sight Of tho fact that the dress Of today
is very great improvement upon any
style that has been In vogue during the
last hundred years.
