ELLEN OSBORN
Charged by wild Boars.

A band of boars numbering II left
the wood surrounding the town Of
Louviers, France, and, after crossing
the river, invaded the town, two of
them even entering houses, where they
were shot. The noise of the firearms
frightened the others, who swan back
across the river and made for the wood.
On their way they met a cyclist, who
promptly turned tail and fed. He rode
as hard as he could to escape the ami
mails, but they rapidly gained upon him
and, finding that the race was hope
less one, he got down and crouched be-
hind his wheel. The boars charged the
bicycle and smashed it all to pieces
and then made off, leaving the cyclist
more dead than alive. His regret at the
loss of the bicycle was probably more
than made up by his Joy at finding him
self safe and sound.-American Cyclist.

ELLEN OSBORN'S FASHION LETTER.
Spring Dresses and Millinery as Seen on Tennis Green
and Grand Stdnd--NOVel Costumes from Paris.

Copyright, 1921

Paris, May 1.-At the Concours Hyp-
pique the race for the Prix des DANES
called out many beautiful women IN
beautiful spring costumes. The Com
tesse de Saint-Leger wore a somewhat
striking dress of dull green foulard
printed with irregular patterns around
the upper part Of the skirt so as to give
the effect of short hip apron. This
patterned part Of the goods was em-
broidered with threads of gold and ecru
silk, this raising of the surface adding
to the illusion of sperate material.
The skirt itself was rather short and
rounded at the bottom. The corsage
formed a blouse in front, of green
mousseline de sole. Opening wide upon
this was a close-fltting bodice Of the
skirt material, trimmed with horizon
tai bands of green velvet ribbon start
ing from the shoulder and under-arm
seams, stitched down upon the bodice
with gold threads and caught with gold
and mosaic buttons just over the blouse
edges. The close-ftting sleeves were
finished with little capes upon the shoul-
ders and were patterned from wrist to
elbow with the same wavy lines ap-
pearing ON the hip apron. The neck
finish was q smart green bow under a
collar, and the hat q small fat affair of
green straw trimmed with black wings.
Comtesse de Kermartin wore a very
summer-like gown of cornfower
blue yelling. The skirt just touched
the ground. The upper part, round the
waist, was made with five rows Of
gathers taken out of the width of the
stuff. The lower part was trimmed
with three founces in front and eight
behind, all edged with moire ruche to
match the yelling. The bodice was of
cornfiower blue silk covered with IL
blouse of the yelling, which was en-

minishing in width downwartls. The
bottom was rounded and touched the
grass. The corsage was an accordion
plated blouse gathered at the waist
and with yoke of pink taffeta COW
cred with embroidery in quaint pat
terms worked in white and mauve comet
ribbons. The sleeves were plated from
the elbow TO the wrist and had lace
cuffs. The waist and neckbands were
of broad white ribbons. The hat was q
Leghorn fat with soft crown of white
satin and q wreath of pink and white
daisies.
A dress of green and white taffeta
was yet more interesting. 1t was
checked in large bold squares and SO
cut as to look seamless, the patterns
matching all round. The skirt was
trimmed at the bottom with flounce
of green taffeta edged with white lace
like embroidery and festooned with
openwork insertion. The corsage was
a blouse fastening down the left side
and closing under draped scarf Of
green taffeta edged with lace resem-
bling that ON the skirt flounces. The
waistband and collar were of draped
green taffeta, fastening under rosettes
of lace and embroidery. The hat was
composed entirely of white eglantine
roses and foliage.
Bicycle costumes multiply faster than
buttercups in the grass. Those worn
by the smart Frenchwomen who ride
every morning in the Bois are the
trimmest and neatest to be found in
any part Of the world. Three out of
four are cut with bloomers and the
fourth is worn by an Englishwoman
or American, probably. One of the
best suits have seen lately was OF
dark green serge, having the seams
outlined with white whipcord, A dark
