The new woman may have no ac-
complishments; she may cycle, golf and
play football; she may be an under
taker, printer, physician; she may
show in 100 ways how far she has de-
viated from the lines set down by the
-aaman of a generationAago. Yet on
one point VIII rnesa+unA4atallv different
women agree-they both love little FIX
ings for the toilet; little jeweled ornn-
ments for dress and room.
One hardly wonders that this is so,
otter examining the fascinating bits of
femininity brought over in the latest
importations from Paris. Women
would be strong, indeed, to resist them.

demonstrates clearly the trend of the
y~season. For it is an assured fact that
many gowns will be spangled or beaded.
Brown is the color of the moment.
In the cycling costume there is little
change. Cooler days have forced the
linen suit into retirement, and shirt
wrists are seen only at rare intervals
with skirts that are obviously 'left-
overs" from the summe season.
The disappearance of boomers Is,
perhaps, the most important change.
Except for tandem riding, when they
are very convenient boomers are no
longer worn. Even then the divided
skirt answers the purpose equally well,
and it certainly has the additional
charm of being modestto a much great
er degree.
In the number of divided skirts worn
there is also considerable change.
While it has many adherents, the BIZ
furcated garment can claim no greater
amount of favor than the short, round
skirt which is being universally worn.
The skirt should not be cut circular
a mistake which many riders make
since a circular skirt very quickly sags
at the sides, presenting a most s~lovenly
appearance.
A five-gored skirt is best. 1t should
be sewed on the belt easy in front,
fulled over the hips and have scaut
gathers in the back. A skirt made in
this way will hang nicely. and is likely
to keep its hang, in spite of hard usage,
Belts are not generally in favor. A
few costumes, it is true, are made with
bolero, or Elton Jackets, and worn with
silk waists and leather belts, but tight
fitting basques, slightly open at the
neck to reveal a stiff white dickey and
a smart tie, seem to be preferred. They
have on each side of the back and front
a simulated box plat, tightly stitched
down at the sides and ending in a point
about three inches below the waist.
Such are bicycle costumes as a class,
| AS to the exceptions, occasionally a
rider with original ideas will strike
envy into the hearts of her eiaters by
some costume built on most beautiful
lines.
On the boulevard of New YorE city,
where the smartest wheeling drrSs Is
seen, a fair rider stood chatting 10 a
friend. Her gown was we'll worthy Of
description. Of dark green rough goods
it was cut in princess style. Lady's
cloth, in a lighter shade, combined with
the rough material to make this chic
costume. The yoke and sleeves were
entirely constructed of it, while all ttt
seams and the front fold of the Carmen;
were hid under bands of the same light
green cloth. A belt, matching the bands
in width and material, loosely encirclec
the waist.
Rough goods are usually used in thu
designing of cycling costumes. Alpine
hats owe the heads of fair riders.

opium valued at $1,000 Even the most
innocent looking flower pots have been
made to serve the smugglers.
To a man the Chinese crews on the
steamers plying between San Francis
CO and Mexico. South America and
China are smugglers. They hide their
contraband goods in the oldest places
imaginable and get them ashore past
the eyes of the customs officers i'm ways
that almost battle detection They have
brought opium skilfully stuffed in ba-
nanas still hanging to the stalk and IN
oranges. A Chinese cook talked ashore
with several loaves of bread filed with
opium. Chinese have been detected
with boxes of the drug deity bound
in their queues or tied under their
arms Every bit Of baggage and every
article they take ashore is hiding

In one invoice of elbow" or chopped
vegetables over $4,000 worth of opium
was confscated and in one lot Of
drug valued al $1,000 was made. At
that time Secretary of the Treasury
Folger was of the opinion that one ring
OF smugglers during its existence had
cheated the government out of more

dictate with 100000 capital made $780,
