Riding -,Ian Fashion.

The popularity Of bicycle riding
among women has made it more possi-
bic for women to accept the idea of rid
ing en- cavalier. an idea which is being
put in actual practice in the west. In
other words. cross saddle riding with
divided skirts has gained a certain
amount OF recognition in a number of
localities. 1t has been found that la
dies look well, ride more safely and get
better exercise in the now way. The
practice of side saddle riding is attrib-
uted to the vaga1y OF queen who was
too deformed to use the cross saddle.
There has been vague idea that any
other method would be injurious AS
matter of fact. the practice of using the
side saddle has been adopted because it
adapts itself 90 modern dress, and be-
cause without special dress no other
method would be suitable. But cross
saddle riding is the safer way, it per-
mits of better and freer use of the
limbs and makes the exercise more eff
fective. All this will not mako women
| adopt ii. however. 4 large number of
lady riders take the exercise to avoid
the unpleasant effects of too much fat.
Side saddle riding does not make fat
women chin. however, but if anything
enlarges the hips. Cross saddle riding
is more effective. because wider range
/ OF muscles can be used and harder rid
/ ing indulged in.-New York Medical

White Stockings.

Next 20 the Threatened return of the
crinoiine. the revival which is making
the most sensation in fashionable circles
is the return of white stockings. For
months past there have been various
prophecies and not few announce
ments of the coming Of this revival.
But for various reasons, and possibly
the good sense OF women. with the ex-
ira Expense of white stockings. which
must be changed more frequently than
colored ones. the coming has been post
poned. Dark hosiery has had long
span of life. and remarkable one,
when it is remembered that in former
times only servants Wore colored stock
ings. 1t was not until the end Of the
last century that lady of fashion en-
deavored to introduce black stockings
into vogue, and she did not succeed.
Even now there are many dainty and
elegant ladies in France who never wear
colored stockings, but leave them TO their
servants. Without doubt black and
colored stockings Will be worn for walk
ing ont of doors all through the winter
months, but by next summer those near
the throne announce that white stock
ings will be universally worn where
money is no object and laundry bills
are beneath consideration Fashion

StiE.y Starcl,ed skirts.

\ swell drcsSmaker confessed recent
ly that the reason why some of the far
ing skirts hung oat around the bottom
with such a graceful flare was because
of a flexible steel a quarter of an inch
in width which runs through the hem.
Some of the latest silk petticoats have
two Of these wires run through the
folds. one ut the hem and another a few
inches above. Evening skirts are now
made with heavy fiounces stlffiy starch
ed in the old fashion, and more than
one skirt Is worn. Some of the new
white starched skirts have three over
tapping flounces reaching from the belt
TO the hem in the back, and one full
flounce extending all the way around
the skirt to tha0lnees. All these founces
are stiffened. but not to the point of
rafting. and help to hold out the light
skirts of the evening gown. Indeed it
is claimed that the starched white skirt
for daytime wear will soon take the
place Of the silk pettGoats that have
been popular during the past few years,
because those colored skirts have been
copied in cheap material, and besides
there is something in the freshness of a
starched skirt dainty and luxurious
