this is thrown the darker color which
makes the plaid. Some of the plaids

only, in two or three separate lines,
each at least half an inch broad. This
plaid is made on the straight in all

was one dull green ground with brown

The latest lamp shades are works Of
art, exquisite affairs covered and
trimmed with ruches of soft stuff. lace,
frills. delicate flowers and ribbons and
this in spite of the fact that it has
been said that fancy gloves and shades
OF tinted glass or porcelain are to take
the place of the fascinating "fiuffs" so
much admired and coveted, all because
some woman says they are a lodging
place for dust. A soft brush will take
the dust out. and even if the shade can
not be cleaned with soap and water it
is dainty work for nimble fingers to re-
cover the frame with fresh materials

the flowers upon her lamp shade ac-
cording to the season. One of the
novelties in shades is made in the shape
of shell, and is intended for a corner
lamp. 1t is made of white futed

feathery rucheS made of the two ma

other shade represents a three

THAT BICYCLE SKIRT.
The Only Sure Way of Having 1t
Fitted Perfectly

Here are some pointers for the wheelwoman:
When you have your bicycle skirt fitted take
your wheel to the dressmaker's or tailor's
II she or he has not one. and sit in the
position you take while riding while the
litter pins your skirt in place. This is the
only sure way Of getting a perfect fit and
a gracefully hanging skirt, I know, for
didn't do it.
slightly fiuted coat TAIL reaching from
hip to hip on your bicycle jacket gives a
very neat finish to costume for the wheel
and also helps give an effect of narrowness
to woman's back between the hips, which
invariably appear abnormally large while rid
ing. Have the fiuted coat tail nearly a quar-
ter of a yard long, so that it will reach nearly
to the saddle.
Don't burden yourself down with leggings
while cycling, girls. The new logging stock
1ngs, finished with buttons and imitation
button holes, are so much more comfortable
and neater, too. They come in both tan and
black and have the appearance of a Logging

III your shirt waist cuffs are finished with
two sets of button holes fasten the upper set
with narrow ribbons drawn through and tie

on their cuffs.
Some enterprising firm has Just introduced
very neat leather bag about eight inches in
length and five in width, to fasten to the
handle bar of our wheels right in the center.
Two straps encircle the bar and hold the
bag in place, while the flap is furnished
with tiny watch on the outside and a mirror
on the inside The bag is large enough to

A word About Gloves.

The white and light colored kid, with black
stitchings is still much worn, but has GER

kid with plain back is decidedly good form.

stitching, for morning wear, while the deli

instead to draw our gloves together with
some dainty bead of pearl, coral, or even
paste. and in such trif1es does our lady of
modes show her growing love for the costly
and beautiful.
