ed? Who knows? We hear OF such
daring women all the way from San
Francisco TO Boston. PERHAPS before
the century closes women will have
evolved bicycle dress which will meet
the critics on both hands. One lesson
women are learning-never was cloth
so cheap, never was 1t so easy to have
costume suited TO every use. There Is
nothing inconsistent-not TO mention
other considerations-when woman
who last night swept the polished floor
grandly with her silken train and raised
white cleaning shoulders from the per-
fumed lace OF her low bodice to-day
dons short skirt and slippers for the
gymnasium. Fit the dress to its use

There was another New York lady
here, bird OF passage from Saratoga,
with ever so many trunks, who wore q
costume that pleased me much, az a
lawn party near Pittsburg. A dark
sleeveless Jacket, close cut and broGiSt
nearly together In front by clasp.
Above the clasp the jacket was edged
with lace and underneath IL was worn
a plated shirt front and collar, dark
skirt and lace over sleeves completing.
have never liked women's wearing OF
starched "frOnt"-sinco why should
they initiate the worst ieatureso Of mems
attire-but indeed the costume was
chic and seryiceable looking.

stories of the Worlds Fair-of nineteen
women out OF twenty wearing Elton
jackets-that must go TO see.
Pink and white girls-happy crea-

gowns, no matter what tho modes say.
Such one | have seen this week was
OF white satin family shot with pink,
with an ACCORDION killed drapery OF
shot pink and white gauzy stun ex'
tending half way down the skirt The
bodice was made OF the same stun as
tho drapery, and on one side was

roses. In such u costume one may break
hearts.
From Paris comes some lovely cos

been wearing az Dleppe aud Trouville
great number OF pretty pink pompa-

are sbeStrewn with bouquets OF pink
roses; at the edge Is generally q deep
chicoree ruching OF pink silk, Inter
mingled with lace-"chicoree" means
coffee colored. The undersklrt Is plnk
taifstas glace, and the whole costume
Is finished of with mousse velvet bows.
With these dresses large capelines OF
cream lace are worn ornamented with
roses and bows OF moss-green velvet.
White linen dresses arc also much In

the bodies are prettily trimmed With
insertion OF this lace, lined with a

sleeves are the leg OF mutton shape,
either in white linen or velvet to
match the color OF the silk lining IN
