STYLES FOR EoUeSTRIANs.
Including Great Variety In Costumes
Cool, Becoming and Practical.


Cool, Becoming and Practical
a few years ago there was only one pos
sible make Of riding habit, plain and UNI
compromising, and the tall hat was al
most as necessary as the horse itself
Now however, in summer especially, COM
fort and individual taste assert their
claims, and the result is variety Of cos
tunes. While the fashion of skirts re-
mains mleh the same, every variety OF
jacket, covert coat, shirt and waistooat is
admissible, and in the matter Of hats, too
a wide choice is given, though the tall hat
retains popularity for park riding.
This year, among the lighter colored
habits, browns appear 10 be much worn;
but the majority Of skirts are black, or
else the darkest blue. All open jackets
worn with shirts and waistcoats are much
longer than those OF last year; the latest
English habits for the most part touch the
saddle, and some even come on 20 the
horses back like a mans coat. Our cut
represents coat Of moderate length.
