New York, May Back from summer
in-winter some from Bermuda and others
from Florida and Mexico and the Rivera.
The streets of New York never looked so
wide, the horses so strong, the buildings
so high and massive, the throngs so huge
and continuous as they doAow, seen af-
ter the tiny donkeys, and eight-foot roads
and little palm-shaded cottages of Ber-
muda. The policemen are bigger and
stronger than the Leinster infantry. but
they do not parade in platoons: and blue
coats are not so brilliant as red ones.
But the shops! All, the brilllance Of
them surpasses that of an army of men
in red; and the ribbons are as the waving
Of banners and the glitter of spangIes
and flick of fans and swish of feathers. as
is the bravery of strong weapons 1t is
good to be where there are shops, and
women fresh from the shops.
At present. golf is the word, and thrice
as many women as ever went round the
course at St. Andrews or Morristown are
getting unto themselves, or have already
got, goihng suits which shall be fit for
general outing purposes. Plaids are by
all means the faVOrite prescription Of the
doctors of golhng fashions, and next to
them are strong tan or cream serges.
The skirt is always short; about bicycl-
ing length; and that is a comfort Indeed
a golhng suit can be used for bicycling.
and vice versa, to such good purpose thar
it Is no wonder that so many of the former
are made for non-golfers who do really
and truly bike"
And that reminds me: one of the first
things I saw 6n getting back to New York
was bicycle girl In the park. tightly cor
seted and clad in white samite mystic

now her great white picture hat stuck
to her head, tapping not nor falling. was
one OF the marvels Of millinery which
are as the sands of the sea in number.
Yes, il is white season. White from
head to foot, from the shade hat to Inc
shoes, inclusive. Duck is the dress Da
terial cut in ample folds. The hats 10

with pale pink or blue ribbon ana bi~b
