Paris, Aug. 6.-There are still num-
Der OF enthusiastic riiers lere who prefer
TO take Their outings on the back o. well
Groomed trotter, though the deser.ers Who
have gene over to the wheel are in the
majority.
Unless you have read the advertisement
for horse e-trotting saddle, an English in
vention tina; is warranted to career around
in canter. a trot or gailop in yoIr own
room, you can have no idea of the benefits
received from horse riding. The Princess
OF Wales mounts her horse-tiosting saddle
every day, and by pressing u button she
can canter or trot to her hearts content,
with the biissful consciousness that her
circulation, compile xion, figure and lines
lre being greatly beautifea all the while
PRINCESS IN RUsSET.
For these rides the PRINCESS wears u very
loose fitting coat OF russet over u habit of
russell linen. Her hat is a russet Derby
She dresses for this ride as carefully rs
for the dress parade OF the Ancient and
Honorables of Boston. Her russets are now
the London rage and ssool will be the rage
An America, for We put on russet at home
when the leaves begin to brown.
1t is difficult TO say just what kind of
hiiiits are being worn most. for through
these summer months there Is noticeable
. unique variety iu habits. Some still
cling TO the dark cloth habits. They are
conservative oues, and they are in tie
minority
a stylish habit 1 saw was or black rough
cheviot with strapped seams. The waist
Was double-breasted, buttoniug over a
Etiff linen chenisette with small black bone
buttons. The basques Were loug and not
very full A low Derby and white gaunt-
lets We're worn with his habit.
There is a jolly, roly poly red-cheel,ed
American girl who drives out every day
in the Bois with her two brothers, aud
generally she wears a dark green skirt,
pretty pink tailorsmnde shirt waist,
and an upto-date American sailor -ou
cooler days l have seen her buttoned IN
snugly in one Of these English box coats
in light covert cloth. III that she looks
100 stunning for words, for the straight
lines OF the box coats are SO very be-
coming to too plump figures.
Mixed tweeds, that have been SO popular
for tailor gowns this season, are becoming
populur. Too, for riding habits. One OF the
newest habits that was shown Inc at one
of the swell talor shops was made of four
checked tweed in gray and black. The co..t
was double-breasted, with long close-1it-
ting basques, and the lappels that turned
buck from high linen chemsette were of
black velvet.
The sleeves in all the habits are ex-
ceedingly small coat sleeves, with Just
asuggestion OF fulness a 1.-THE arm hole seam
anfthcyfit rather snug from the elbow down
10 the wrist.
The populur box-coat sleeves are exactly
like Il mans coat sleeves, with not a whit
more flIlness at the arm-h0le scam.
1t is quite tic thing to have "A number
of ooiored habits to give note OF color
TO those white habits. Blue ,pique vests
with white dots or white vests with red
dots are very pretty and very popular
One of the prettiest pique habits ]
hnve seen has all the seams strapped
The jacket 1astens with four large pearl
buttons over a vest of bright red .piuue
and it is cut a way i'll such fashion that
the vest shows conspicuOusiy. The shcrt
rather scant basqnes of the Jacket are
t .immed at the back seams with large,
white pearl buttons The skirt has two
stitched tabs AT the side seams. trimIneu
with the buttons, and uniinr the left tab the
skirt fastens.
Brown holland is another fabric that
Is very iI;opular for summer habits "A
very new .habit has a jacket fastened
with one button at the waist line, 50
that quite an expanse OF stiff wliite
,shirt front is visible. The basuues nr
the Jacket are short and fun ard the
1appels very narrow.
