persons VIII make sacrifices to pleasure
that they will not make for duty's sake
No doubt a large number of women now
believe in short skirts who would have
secuted the idea Of them before the advent
of the bicycle
The long skirt is an undeniabe hindrance
in all active amusements and particularly
in bicycling. The placket opening is al
ways catching on the front of the saddle in
mounting, while the hem gets between the
foot and the pedal and prevents the ma
chine from starting. Partisan women soon
discarded the long skirt for bicycle wear
and have now abandoned the skirt alto
gether, appearing in short, tight trousers
similar to those worn by men. 1t is doubt
full if women on this side of the water will
follow fashion as far as that. Indeed il is
not at all necessary to 90 entirely without
skirts, as sCant one falling just below the
knees is no burden, does not interfere with
freedom of movement and runs no chance
Of catching in the gearing when the wheel
is in motion-a fruitful source of accidents
These short skirts are commonly seen
now. Full trousers of the same material
nre worn under them in place of a petticoat
and cloth or leather leggngs buttoning to
the knee A woman who wears the modern
bathing suit has no reason for Directing to
such dress, which is comfortable and ra-
tional if not beautiful. For cold weather
it may be made of heavXcloth and trimmed
with bands of fur, while for summer wear
thin cheviot and mixed goods, trimmed
with rows of stitching, will be found serv-
iceable. Drab, gray, brown, navy blue,
dark green and black are good colors, and
all noticeable kinds of decoration should be
strictly avoided,
A sketch is given of a bicycle costume in
navy blue cloth, the cloth leggugs, worn
over black shoes, being of the same color.
The skirt and Eton jacket are trimmed with
black stitching. An outing shirt is worn
with fourth hand tie. The cap is of white

adorned with the same lace. This is very
effective style of trimming and gives an APP
pearance of elaboration at the cost of little
trouble. Not only are black, white and
ecru laces worn, but various shades of de-
cided yellow, ranging from straw color to
old gold. A waist of plaid silk was seen,
having cream ground crossed with bands
of light violet and tan and trimmed with
bretelles of pale yellow lace of a light quail
ity, and the combination was most pleas
ing. Separate lace yokes are sold having
a deep founce of lace around the lower
edge.
The embroidcries shown this year are also
very pretty. There are many new patterns
in entirely white goods, both wide and mar
Tow, while colored dress chambrays are
shown deeply embroidered along one edge,
which has hemstitched border. The scar
let ones, worked in black or white, are es-
pecially attractive Narrower embroidery
for trimming white waists appears in white,
having an inaid pattern in colored cambria,
turquoise, pink, yellow, red or violet. and
the edge is usually embroidered in the
same color. Very open all over embroidery
is also in vogue for the yokes of thin gowns,
and edged trimming may be obtained to
match it.
With the increased popularity of lace has
come demand for shaped pieces-not only
corselets and figaro jackets, but pelerines,
collars, yokes and epaulets. A sketch is
given of the corSage Of a reception gown
made of cress green striped silk. 1t is

Formal Preaching.

The skeleton Of a sermon, as its name i'm.
plies, is better kept concealed. 1t is meant
for use, not for show.
Sixty years ago, according to DR.. Mines,
there was French Huguenot preacher in
New York-a queer little man of unim
peachable learning and dullness-whomod'
eled his sermons exactly after the pattern
laid down in Claude's Essay on Preach
ing" Usually he preached in French, but
when he resorted TO English the effect was
irresistible.
He not only built his discourse upon set
plan, but was careful to have the fact
known and appreciated. To that end he
announced III turn each of its divisions.
