ing. 1t was of white SERGE with five lines
of the narrowest soutache braid sewed
about the bottom. The skirt hung like a
picture. There was short blazer jacket
open over blue and white striped shirt,
and blue and white canvas belt went
around the waist outside the blazer until
the front, where, at the seam, 1t passed
inside and buckled at the waist. The
seams were double Tapped and stitched,
and the lapels were small, but very neat
and close. There was q dark blue necktie.
The sleeves were medium sized and fin

The sailor girl has fewer days than the
bicycle girl for her outings The latter
now has regular style of garments made
and designed for the pcrilous pleasures af-
forded by her wheel. Several of the swell
est establishments are giving thought and
care to the bicycle costume. There are d.

half way between the waist and knees and
Turkish trousers make probably the safest
outfit, but those with skirts to the knee
and knickerbockers make the most pleas

them.
In one of these establishments an outfit
of dust colored tweed was made for O
young lady. There were high leggings
laced up and skirt reaching q little below
the knees, quite hiding the trousers The
upper part of the skirt fitted snugly, and
on each side above the knees there was az
inset of plaits of the material fastened
with an elastic. They hung in perfect
lines. There was light blue percale shirt
with dark red tie and a short jacket
which was arranged to hang open or tt
close. The special novelty in this suit wa!

There is this to say about these advances
bicycle suits. They do not add to the beau

must be very beautiful to attract any ad
miring attention except from the knight

gown for mountain wear was shown thi
