ers. Hooks are fastened to the skirt
and these catch into the trousers at in
tervals of three or four inches, keeping
the skirt perfectly in place on the
windicst day.
While such a dress as this seems most
shocking because of the exposure which
seems necessarily to follow, it is really
less conspicuous i'll exposing the figure
than the ordinary tailor-made riding
habit The latter shows exactly the
size and shape of the legs. as well as
their general position. The former con-
ceals them by the full skirt which hangs
over them.
Riding thus woman is reasonably
safe upon horse and is much less liza
BILE to cramp than when seated sideways
upon side saddle. Yet the side saddle
has convcntiouality In its favor, and the
new method of riding has not. The pretty
Spaniard says that she is unable to hire
q horse at any of the riding academies
for a jaunt in the park when thus ar
rayed, because the riding masters fear
that some of the patrons might take ex-
ccption to such dress, and might OBJ
jcct to being seen emerging from an

dress in this manner. Scarcely can a
riding master DC found as n companion.
In the meantime, the dress is so be-
coming that the pretty woman wears it
and is much admired At the same time
she feels comfortable and safe, tlcclar-
ing that never before has she SO en-
joyed eqrcstrianism. Several women
of fashion have expressed Willingness
to dress in the same manner, if only
some one could bc found to take the
lead. No one likes to venture forth
alone, and no one has been ablo to Sc
cure sufficient cooperation to get num-
Der Of women together for a trial trip.
The same disadvantage attends this de-
pnrturc in fashion that has marked
other decided changes, namely, the
conspicuousncss which renders it I'M
pleasant for those who would other
wise be tho pioneers.
Quite change is taking place In the
method of dressing ut house weddings.
AS every one knows it has been the prop
er capcr to wear ones very best at we'd
ding festivities and even to purchase
new gown especially for the occasion.
Nothing worn or old or even the first
ncwncss off was considered good enough
to grace so happy an occasion. But
this spring those who have gone
much into society have rc1oiccd

a pretty dress ccru in tint, and la

the Broadway cars yesterday. The skirt
was scanty, drawn back so tightly that
the wearer seemed scarcely able to
walk in it, and yet when she did take a
step the dress seemed to yield and pro-
duced an effect as graceful as is ever
seen in the new umbrella case styles
The waist of the gown was buttoned-
actually buttoned with visible buttons
all the way down the front The but

On each side of the button a broad
lapel of navy blue velvet was turned
back until the outside point of the lap

THE WOMAN OF FASHION.
A Novel Riding Habit to Be Seen
In Central Park.
Pinincr Dresses Mt House weddings-A
Louis Quatorze Coat and Plain Skirt
OF Almost Amy Material Is Smiled
Upon by Fashion Devotees.
lcopYRIGnr, 1911

Up In the park these early spring
mornings may be seen u pretty yet odd
picture of n woman on horseback, mr.
raycd in nn unconventional riding hab-
it. Tho woman is u beautiful young
Spaniard. petite, bright in manner
graceful, stylish and ono which any man
might be proud to accompany.
Yet, for all, the pretty little Spaniard
often rides unaccompanicd by anyone
except the riding master or her hus-
band; other cavaliers she has none, for
the simple reason that her attire is SO
very remarkable that no other men
have been found sufficiently imbued
with the courage of their opinions to
dare venture forth at her side.
The dress that she has chosen is one
OF her own invention, suggested by
things which she has seen and read, but
yet her own after all. 1t is cross be-
tween conventional riding habit for
women. conventional walking skirt,
pair of Turkish trousers and a mans
riding suit Yet the combination of all
these conventionalitics produces n suit
which is the most unconventional thing
to be seen in Central park
When pretty rider stands upon the
ground. She looks as if arrayed in q
tight-fitting bodice with kilt plated
skirt. When she takes step, the fore
most plait and likewise the back one
may fly apnrt as if court petticont were
opening over II quilted satin skirt. But in
this case there is no quilted satin skirt
underneath, and the light is revealed
through the openings in these plaits in
the most shockingly unusual manner
possible. Yet the effect is very pretty.
and on still day one would scarcely no
tice that the skirt differed from an or
binary one
Under this skirt, which is finished
with braid in q tailor-madc fashion, the
rider wears n pair of full Turkish trous-
crs; thiclsly wrinltled at every inch of
their length and banded at the knee
with piece of black elastic.
or course with this the rider sits
astride of the horse, and permits the
skirt to full down on either side so that
1t entirely conccals the Turkish trous-

and It's soft, pretty effect is becoming
TO the face.
Just one more dress? 1t was worn by
bas bleu, a literary woman who is so
plain in dress that she seldom permits
herself the luxury Of wearing anything
more elaborate than the round waist
and Puritan skirt of q year ago.
The dress was gray belize, with q
full bodice. There was q Swiss belt
with steel embroidery and more of
the steel embroidery trimmed the
cuffs and went across the front of the
narrow skirt in IL broad band. Scroll
cdging in steel was used sparingly upon
the waist. y high collar was of rcd
velvet and there was also plastron Of
the same material. With this gown
went hat with gray rustic straw,
caught up fancifully ut one side, where
n great bunch OF red and gray ostrich
tips held it in place.

mits, and, indeed, suggests, that they
wear garments with the newness well
OF OF them and not In any way re-
markablc for their elegance or style.
For morning weddings plain. scanty
skirt of any check or plain material
and the Louis Quatorze coat is suitable.
Even plain skirt with loose open
bodice may be worn by guest at one
of these morning weddings. The occa-
sion, while n formal one, is not con-
sidcrcd such us to warrant full dress.
Another side to this dress question is
the ethical one, which, with the nicely
not hitherto considered, forbids Il guest
to run the risk Of wearing n better
gown than that In which the bride is
arrayed. The bride is the central
figure, the observed one, the only one
who is entitled to gown which shall
attract attention and consideration.
For evening wear the shades of hello
trope, pure turquoise and the various
tones of green are fashionable. Rcd
and black are also much worn, and, in

Another of the valuable industries Sc

Company is the Virginia Blanket Mills,
manufacturers OF wooden blankets of all
grades, spinners of yarn, and scourers
and sorters of wool. These mills will
secure the pick of the fleeces of South

industry is developing more rapidly and
more probably than in any other part
of the United States. Manufacturers

the affair over from beginning to end,

a diamond ring new to the place, said in

alone. His history was a mystery to every
one but himself, and, though remarkably
eccentric, he was noted for his amiability.
He had given up the world on account of q
disappointment in love, and the utter con-
tempt which he afterward manifested for
the gentler sex was a leading trait OF
his character. Whenever any ladies
Glanced to visit him, he invariably
treated them politely, but would never
speak to them; he even went so
lar, in expressing his dislike, as to consume
for firew0od, after the ladies were gone, the
tOp-rail of mis- yard fence, over which they
had been compelled to pass on their way
into his cabin. That old Watson Jared

after the deluded being had passed away
