relief u given to the plainness Of the
sweater front This model allows q
natural sized waist, while the curve OF
the eton robs the outline of all clum-
siness. A white Scotch cap matches
the sweater, and single black cocks
feather is a perky ornament for II. The
usual sweater collar is omitted, a high
soft choker braided closely to give an
effect that will harmonize with the
jacket straps taking its place. The
eton can, Of course. be removed. the
under belt being firmly attached. to the
top of the skirt, and the sweater In turn
being secured. This Is one Of the few
really pretty wheel rigs that make
every needed concession to practical
demands.
A practical demand which will meet
the taste OF those who want freedom
Of boomers and the protection of q
skirt Is chosen for the third drawing.
Here the boomers just show below
the knee-skirt, and are very full at the
edge, where they turn under In genuine
Turkish fashion, but they are as scant
as practicable about the hips, that the
skirt may not be made bunchy. The
coat bodice is made without darts, fit
ting only slightly to the figure, and al
lowing thereby plenty of room at the
waist. Its skirts fit without fullness
over the hips, and as closely as may be
without drawing all around, the effort
being to insure as slightly curved a
line as possible from the waist down.
A shirt waist with starched front
shows, and smart little tie gives for
mality to the costume. CLOTH leggings
button to the knee, their tops disappear
ing under the droop Of the boomers.
A soft felt hat is worn well over the
forehead, gloves with wide stitching
on the backs cover the hands, and the
sleeves are made of the usual pattern.
Absolute freedom is insured In this
rig, and to many an absence of jaunty
intent will be a feature distinctly in ia
vOr of the design. The skirt In the
more expensive copies Of the model is
lined with satin, that the action of the
knees may be impeded as little as pos
sible by friction. Since the skirt but
tons down the side, all danger Of a
gaping pocket is avoided, and access
to a lovely lly-trousers-pocket" Is
had. The only danger of this rig is
that once you wear 1t little while you
feel as If you cannot stand the restric-
tons of the ordinary woman's attire,
this trousers pocket being final bid
for favor that no right-minded woman
Is able to resist.
The last model is sketched because
it abounds. not because it's makeup

as an example of what considering
ones observers first will bring one to.
Some of these chorus girl rigs are as
pretty as they can be, and many-like
this one-concede some points OF COM
fort. Illustrators consider them Sim
mense." and they are the right thing
for a little girl who is going to stand
beside her wheel in the sunshine where
there Is no wind to blow Off her be-
coming little hat, or to lift her pretty
skirt where she won't get out of breath
by riding and burst her tiny belt, and
where her dear little shirt waist won't
give her her death by getting her wet
through. Altogether in such circum-
stances. the wearer will look as pretty
as that other girl who has perfect
right to wear a delicious bath suit and
not go near the water. Still the stores
are full Of 'cm, but the coming sum-
mer's end will see but few of them on
the road.
But little has been said so far as to
color Wisdom makes the available
ones few, and chooses a general tone
of stone or gray. The blue rigs into
which every one rushed at the begin
ming have proved themselves most un-
suitable for the exposure to dust that
