New YORK, Aug. 10.-At the ladies'
driving competition which took place
some weeks ago at Birmingham, had
the pleasure of seeing some of the very
smarfest costumes of the day. The
Lady Edward Churchhill, who was the
happy winner of the diamond and ruby
broo5h, wore remarkably tasteful and
novel costume composed Of rich black
and pink shot silk, with hat to corre-
spond OF black lace erDamented with
dainty pink feathers. And although
there were many other pretty fussy
dresses. tailor made gowns were decid
eddy the most prominent. and Ger
tainly seemed to be the most suita-
BILE toilets for the occasion.
and great many of exceedingly
smart Redfern gowns were to be seen
on many ladies of taste and fashion. An
not omit to mention. was worn by the
Lady Sandhurst. This was an exquisite
arrangement of heliotrope and gold.
The hat which accompanied this charm
ing toilet was an ingenious mixture OF
straw, with bows of delicate heliotrOpe
added here and there.
One lady driving in the competition
wore very stylish suit of indigo blue
vicuna serge, with blue hat 10 match,
and for such purpose nothing could
possibly have looked smarter. On my
return from Europe, fastened, need
hardly say, to my usual resort for fash
ions, the great English railor's eStab-
liShment, and found great creations in
readiness for the fast, coming coach
ing season. which Is such great
opportunity to show to advantage lovely
gowns, charming head gear Of all dis
criptions. Gowns for these occasions
must not be composed of a too light
material. because when driving one
always gets breeZe-and consequently
one requires something more substan.
tial than the everyday promenade cos
tune, and not perhaps quite so elabor-
ate. This, however, is simply a matter
of taste.

(nee Mable Wright. She has always
had reputation as an expert swimmer,
an art which she acquired when a
mere slip of girl. There is a story
that when she was spending the
summer at Narragamsett Pier, be-
fore her marriage, her popular ap-
pellation was Venus" title bestowed
upon her on account of her beauty and
for the Iondness she exhibited for the
water, the foam Of the sea having been
the first cradle Of the Goddess of Beauty.
Mrs. YZnaga has by no means neg
lected her first love in the pursuit of
other athletic pastimes, and during the
summer, when at Newport. she takes
daily dip in old ocean. Her bathing
costumes are works of art and worth
passing mention for the benefit of the
one who would like to go and do like
wise. Mrs. YZnaga looks as neat and
trim in her bathing dress as in her
walking costume. She always wears
stockings when taking her dip, and they
match her dress. Her most effective
one, possibly, is fashioned Of pale blue
and cream striped flannel. with yoke
Of pale blue covered with yak lace.
The sleeves are puffed about the elbow.
and the Swiss-shapsd waistband is In
pale blue, covered with lace. The skirt
is killed, the length being about four
inches below the knee. Dark blue
stockings are worn with this suit. An
other one Of her dresses is made of
navy blue serge, with white spots on 1t.
1t is made in the style of a Russian
blouse, only the skirt of the blouse is
heightened bslow the knee. With this
long sleeves and high collar are worn.

aged about eight, in her donkey cart, is
one of the interesting pictures in a
recent number of The Rider and

IL am very fond of the water. and
never SO happy as when rowing or

to an intimate friend. Yachting, too,

skipper at the helm. having mastered
the intricacies connected with the man-
agement of yacht. The ATLANTA is

DO not place too much trust in but
tons and strings. Reinforce all fasten-

by conviction that when YOU leave the
briny deep for the beach your stockings
will be Wad Of wet cloth around YOUR

Brown locks or golden. done I'D in

upon than oilskin caps. But salt water
plays havoc with coQuettsh knots.
Unless you are paIepared to follow
every sea bath by a Shampooning period
OF greater or less length cover YOUR
GROWING glory with an unpicturesque
cap.
The woman who is "learning to swim"
is the recipient OF much more attention
than she who knows how to swim. If
the society and advice of men are dear
to you even in the vast deep, never
quite master the gentle art of swim
ming, but always be about to master it,
Don't venture beyond your depth and
allow yourself to be rescued more than
once or twice during the season. It's
romantic, of course, bot even romantic
thing can be done often enough to be-
come merely monotOnous.
Do not promenade the beach or lie in
the sand after your bath. You have
seen chickens and other animals whose
natural element is not water, after a
