Suit for Cycling.
Since cycling has become so much the
rage for women who find it more convenient
to ride bicycle than 10 indulge in other
forms of exercise, MANY efforts have been
made to secure skirt that should be COM
Portable and pretty, and at the same time
answer the purposes which are required for
q cycling suit. 1t must be of material
suitable for rain or shine it must fit closely,
and yet not be too tight, it must be we'll
sewed, and yet, like a riding habit, be able
to give" in case of accident to the riGe~.
and, with all, it must be becoming to her
when seated upon the cycle ready for
action.
A new cycling dress has received the
stamp of English approval and is adopted
already, to some extent in this country 1t
is divided skirt made full enough to look
like an ordinary walking skirt when the
wearer is standing or simply seated upon
the cycle. 1t is of light wool, killed around
the lower edge of the skirt, or more prop-
erly speaking, with kilt plating around the
lower edge OF each skirt and over this kilt
plating are vandyck tabs of the same
material This is really pretty dress, and
when once seen upon a few courageous
wearers will commend itself to all women
lovers of the cycle.
Boating dresses are made of serge. In
deed, skirts for such purposes are becoming
so very narrow that one wonders how the
wearer can manage to walk in them. They
are called 'umbrella-case" skirts, and most
correctly are they named. The Jackets
worn with these dresses are cut very long,
indeed almost to the knees, having large,
fat pockets and deep guantlet cuffs.

Here are some hints for the headgear to
be adopted in midsummer, says the ST.
Louis Post Dispatch: For a garden party is
hat OF the Dolly Warden type made en-
tirely of pale pink and deep rose petals in
silk, which are marvelously real looking.
Equally pretty on the top is a great soft
bow of deep rose silk-the lining must be
formed of the palest rose crepe. Another
dainty hat is large Gainesborough of Tus-
can straw lined with cream-white gauze; the
crown mass of lilies of the valley, which
fall in happy confusion and in artistic grace
over the hat-just as though they had fallen
from Flora's kingdom right down on the
crown, which is also partly covered with
soft knots of white gauze.
Have you seen the charming capote ga
lette? 1t is made of large black beads,
threaded on wire and twisted about to form
large rings or circles, with cluster of yel-
low roses at the top. The capote GAZETTE is
II very flat shape, and when the term "ga-
lctte" is thus employed it is equivalent to
our elegant simile Of as "hat as pancake"
the GAZETTE being fat kind of delicacy of
the cake tribe. The seaside fight has
brought out the cutest bonnet creation in
the world. The "sea bonnet" is a combine
ton of sea greens in velvet and white chif-
fon; the latter represents the foam, while
the velvet represents the waves the lowest
stratum being the sea sand color The tint
