mother wears chic, well-ftting habit
of light gray cloth. The jacket fastens
withone button at the bust and is cut
away to show a stiff chemisette and a
pique vest with tiny red dots. The
young girl, of perhaps seventeen, af-
fects now tailormade shirt waists and
sailor hats for riding. The wee slip OF a
girl, hardly ten, wears habit of ecru
holland, made with a Norfolk jacket,
and her cap is a jockey cap CT white
flannel
Mixed tweeds that have bsen so pop
ular for tailor gowns this season, are
becoming popular, too, for riding haO-
its. One Of the newest habits that was
shown to me at one of the swell tailor
shops was made Of four-checked tweed
in gray and black. The coat was dou-
ble-breasped, with long, close-ftttng
basques, and the lappels that turned
back from high linen chemisette were
OF black velvet
HABIT SLEEVES.
The sleeves In all the habits now are
exceedingly small coat sleeves, with just
a suggestion of fullness at the arm hole
seam, and they fit rather snug from the
elbow down TO the wrist.
One woman, who believes in the eter-
nal fitness of things, wears gray habits
always because her spirited trotter is
gray. Or, maybe, she chose her gray
trotter because gray was unquestionably
her color. At any rate, she produces
quite a stir on the bride path, this
Brunhilde. in her stunning habit Of light
gray cloth.
In Vienna, believe, they first brought
out the new white pique habits. When
they are crisp and fresh, tailor made
and well fitting they are exceedingly
chic. But if one decides TO adopt these
habits for summer wear they must have
host of them to begin with, for they
can only be worn a few times, and then
they must be handed over TO an expe-
rienced laundress.
COLORED VESTS.
It Is quite the thing to have number
of colored habits to give note Of color
TO thosa white habits. Blue pique vests
with white dots of white vests with red
dots are very pretty and very popular
One of the prettiest pique habits
have seen has the seams all strapped
The Jacket fastens with four large pearl
buttons over vest of bright red pique
and it is cut away in such afashion that
the vest shoWse conspicuously. The
short. rather scant basques of the jack
ct are trimmed at the back seams with
large white pearl buttons. The skirt
has two stitched tabs at the side seams,
trimmed with buttons, and under the
left tab the skirt fastens.
SAILOR HATS.
With these lighter habits sailor hats
stiff white sailors, with either white or
black bands-are worn. Those who still
cling TO the dark habits, in spite of the
excessive heat. wear moderately, high
crowned derbys.
Light stocks, with ivory or jewelled
handles, are the most popular, and
sometimes the monogram or crest Is
wrought in jewels at the handle.
White, red and tan gaunlets are
worn. the white moss invariably with
the linen habits, and often with the dark
cloth habits, too.
All lof this seasons habits are cut
away to show linen chemisette, and
invariably the collars are exceedingly
high and straight.
The little cravat runs a very gamut
Of STYLES per month. When last noted
the small cravat it was OF white lawn,
snow white, of the kind that men at
home buy by the card, wearing a fresh
one every day. Now the little bow is
black satin, and soon it will be dull silk.
The cravat is very becoming little ar
