IDEAS for dMprnen,

on the moors n shoots grouse thi'
month.
Smart Americans have not the moors
but they are finding many opportunities
to hunt with the men and wear stun
ming costumes.
When she does not handle a CUR her
self she makes the excuse of watching
the sportsmen in order to array herself
in some fetching costume. In either case
she has a plentiful choice of materials
from which to select her frock- Tweeds
of endless variety, homespun. Cheyioi
and Irish frieze, the last being first
favcrite this season. 1t is light, strong
and will stand any amount of rain with
4 out damage If a porous frieze' is Sc
lected. The color should be as dark and
unobtrusive as possible, so as not to De
easily distinguished from its surround
ings by timid game. Bronze green, dusky
brown. and heather shades are certainly
the best for this reason, whilst a mix
ture wears better than a self-color.
Above all, ensure that the stun is
thoroughly shrunk-a warning which
cannot be repeated too often, as some OF
the most expensive makes are the worst
Offenders in this respect. A good work
manlike costume is of London smoke"
frieze, the skirt reaching no further
thar the ankles, and bound with leather
some quarter of a yard deep. The tight
Jacket fastens d~iagonally from the left
shoulder with smoked buttons. and mas
a narrow leather border like the skirt
Two leather pockets in the basque look
smart and useful. The cuffs are leather,
and there are also two leather shoulder
pieces to prevent the gun from rubbing
the stuff.
A suspicion of feminine softness is
given by a pale blue necktie. but the hat
is manly felt, to match the dress, Alpine
in shape, and with simply quilts or black
cocks feathers for ornament.
Less severe is a homespun gown in
brown and nit mixtures, with small
indefinite checks. Here the leather is ar
ranged as two bands on the skirt The
coat opens over a plain white shirt front
and is fastened across by a neat series
of leather tabs from bust to waist.
1t Is almost s~uperfuous to mention
that the true sportswoman wears knick-
erbockers instead of petticoats under her
dress, has very substantial boots and
high CATERS.

felt, as trim and small as the face be-
meath can bear, while q good waterproof
cape must not be forgotten. The Made
who simply joins the shooting party for
lunch can think a little more of ornament
than of stern use. If she wants the most
fashionable tint of the day she appears
in soft clover green tweed, and though
her skirt Is short, 1t has a well stitched

open coat is caught together by a single
large button in wrought copperwork. ami
the vest is of white cloth closely braided
in greens with a CLINT Of copper through
the braid.
Finally, her stylish white felt has a
folded band of soft green silk clasped on
the right side by a copper buckle. whilst
two green wings stand up stif to the left.
No less suitable is a cheviot in dark pur-
pie heather mixture, the double-breasted
coat having handsome smoked pearl but
tons. The vest is plain tan cloth, and the
hat of tan felt, with a bunch of heather
tucked into the ribbon band.
To urn to other favorite pursuits OF
the hour, fishing costumes are built on
much the same model as those for shoot
ing, save that the isherwoman often
wears a wooden blouse and a cape instead
of the coat There l. notbfng varv nav
