we grow more athletic and healthy every
year. Who wouldn't, in a garment that
one can actually kick in. or run or row in,
or ride on wheel in? Why, the girl of a
few seasons ago is different creature
now. Where are her languor and pretty
airs, and dainty steps, and timid climbing,
and general shrinking back at every new
idea proposed for the summer outing?
Gone. all of them, with the old garments.
But is she masculine then, and self-as-
sertiye, and loud-spoken and independ-
emit? Nay, none of these; she is still
woman, more truly woman than
before, and more able to win and to hold
the admiration and regard of the other sex.
This train of sage reflections was started
by the sight of a fair young girl who stood
leaning against a country stile, and whom
[ had been watching for some time as |
lay in the shadow Of tree, pencil and pa
per in hand, wondering why there was
such a thing as fashions this season of the
year, when one felt like doing nothing but
idling. She certainly was the embodiment
of GOODNESS, clad in a white crepon gown;
the dress was all trimmed with narrow
pale blue velvet ribbon, in a very pretty
way At the bottom of the skirt was a
deep ruffie of crepon with wide heading,
and just beneath the heading were three
rows of blue velvet. then over
the velvet, all around the skirt
at invervals of about three inches were lit
tie putiings of the white. The waist was
made simply-just gathered. and had this
same velvet and putt arrangement al the
belt, and also at the throat. 1t was re-
peated again in the pulled sleeve and at
the wrist There were good many little
knots of blue all over her, and she held a
pale blue fan in one hand and a white par
asol in the other. With the dark green
of the trees for background she made
very pretty picture.
As turned my head to look for my PEN
Gil. I caught sight of something green
moving in the distance. At first thought
it might be the waving of the leaves. for it
was almost that color, but concluded it
wasn't, and rose quickly to my feet and
pursued the moving green. IL turned out

plumes of creamy yellow. Another plume
hangs over the back of the crown, and
down over her hair are still more plumes
In rich iuxuriance. I like a little rose
colored one very well that is made ofsheer

outing dresses are made now in white,

COST OF YACHTING.
AstOr's Swift Nourmahal Rent
ed at $4,000 a Month.
EXPENSES So, 900 A MONTH MORE
A Good Petroleum Launch for $3.50
Sailboats Much Less Expensive-The
Houseboat Coming Into Favor.

New YORK, July u.-rSpecial Core
spondence. when James NJ. Waterbury
chartered the Nourmahal, the Aston yacht,
he agreed to return the vessel in the con-
dition it was received. But the Nour-
mahal had been IN collision with the
steamer Maine and the little bill for re-
pairs will be close to $1,000. Add to this
the $1,000 monthly rental, the $1,000
monthly expense bill, and Mr.. Water
bury's summer outing will come high, ex-
ceedingly high.
But the man who willingly spent $4,000
on an amateur circus won't mind it in the
least He will entertain his friends as
lavishlv as ever, and if inclined charter
the yacht for another season.
No summer sport is relished with so
much zeal as that which an outing on the
water affords. Pass through the Narrows
OF New York harbor to the outer bay and
you cross the wakes of thousand pleas
ure boats of all sizes and descriptions. from
the smallest yawl to the sloop and from the
schooner to the massive steam yacht,
fitted out in the style of apalatial ocean
passenger steamer. But to note the extent
of this splendid sport one has but to look
over the long list of New York yachts
built by the Herreschoff's or in the Burgess
yards. or to take a look at the magnificent
proportions of the Wasp. the Gloriana, the
Pyxie, Ell Chico, the Hansell, the Fancy,
the Hawk, all vessels of late designing. or
at the Alva, the Conqueror, the Nour-
mahal steam yachts that cost all the way
from $4,000 to $400, 900, the price at which
the Vanderbilt craft, the Alva, is held; or
perhaps. to skim along the sound on the
decks of that calm water speeder, the Nor
wood.
1t is an expensive sport. perhaps as ex-
pensive as stable of horses. and often as
full of bitter disappointments. L had &C.
casion recently to visit one of these ship
renting firms and the prices quoted me
meant, in almost every instance, neat
annual income. / quote the prices and
arrangements offered me verbatim:

there is a vast area of water available for
the quiet of houseboat life, as there Is near
almost every island city of note.
Such boat is much less expensive than
yacht Allowing the same length for
both the former one will cost from $500 to
500 TO construct, while the 40-foot yacht
cannot be built for less than So 900, and
perhaps not for much under 5000 In
the houseboat the cabin should be 12x15
feet, allowing for pretty windows at the
side ana doors opening upon the deck.
Several staterooms should be arranged ON
either side, each G12x5 feet, room enough
for an upper and lower folding berth. At
the aft end to which a passage leads on
either side of the cabin is the kitchen.
Then above it all arrange for hurricane
deck, 80 feet long by II feet wide, and you
have houseboat arranged with every de-
tail that can add to comfort as far as the
general plan is concerned. The furnish
ings can be as rich or as plain as your in
clinations or your purse will per-
mil. One thing that should never be
forgotten In the equipment is the double
set OF anchors. As a rule the boat should
be anchored bow and stern, so that she is
securely guarded against a heavy wind.
Manila rope is suggested for mooring, or
possibly galvanized chain cable. Have a
little dory ready for emergencies They
are extremely safe, even when loaded
down with a cargo. Then fitted out with
a spirit sail and centerboard they will give
occasion for many q pleasant sail in q
good stiff breeze, and save on other occa-
sions the trouble of rowing. The question
of moving the bouseboat is one not SO
readily solved. On the river, where the
current is strong, there need be no trouble,
but on quiet waters, where propulsion Of
some kind is necessary, it is, perhaps, best
to be fitted out with sails that can be
adjusted to four or six masts. and when
the breeze is favorable you find the
boat moving along quietly. smoothly and
without danger. Even with 432 square feet
of sail there need be no fear of capsizing in
a squat, for by having the ropes In perfect
control the canvas can be lowered in a Sec
ond's time.
There are several ways of building the
float on which the house rests. As q rule
it is advisable 20 give il TO ship or a scow
builder, even though the expense be
little greater than that charged by the
carpenter, who will build the upper part
OF the outfit for you.
The boat, scow, house, dory and me-
chanical outfit need not cost you more
than $500, and possibly you can contract
to have the work done for $500.

"And what is the expense of fuel and
grub?"
THAT depends. You ought to figure on

"What can you charter the Alva for7"
"Well, don't know that she can be
chartered. But l can get you 190-foot
steam yacht, every bit as comfortable and
enjoyable. for $1,000 month. Your ex-
penses in this case would be 81, 900 month

$50 day. But perhaps the wisest thing
to do if you want season s sport IS to buy
steam yacht, schooner or a sloop. and

OF the season. You can expend 5000 and

But after all there is splendid sport in

| small. You can buy petroleum launch
width of four feet six inches and of one
| horse power, finished in ash or oak, for
| $3.50. A launch of the same proportions
| for salt water use would probably cost $3.50.
| The increased cost for salt water use is due
| to the expense for condensers and water
| tanks. The cost for launches twenty-five,
| thirty and thirty three feet in length, fin
| ished in ash. oak or mahogany, ranges
| from $725 to 81, 200 These boats are con-
| structed with cedar bottoms, copper-riv-
| eted over-hang stern and pretty shear
seats forward and aft of the motor.
| The rudder is of brass or iron running
| through the over-hang or counter and
| fitted with tiller and steering lines lead
| ing around the inside of the boat, SO that
| the steering can be done from any place.
| The motor is an automatic petroleum

| The naphtha launches are constructed
| on the same general plan and are about
| equal in cost. With a good engineer the
danger is practically infnitesimal in
either the naphtha, the petroleum or the
kerosene launches.
A forty-foot naphtha launch with a
| draught twenty-six inches, fitted out with
