pink and lined with pink silk. This yoke Is
made Of alternating bands OF loco insertion and
tucked white mousselino do sole. below which
the skirt hangs full and plain. gathered on with
q little heading. The full bodice matching the
yoke has q wide draped belt of pink silk and a
cravat Of the .moussellne trimmed across the
ends with lace. Other linon gowns are cut In
deep points around the bottom of q plain gorcd
skirt and filled in between with knife p~laitings
of the same. A pretty model. illustrated, is Of
white silk muslin trimmed In crossing points
with white lace insertion. followed by a narrow
frill of black lace edging, which also adorns the
waist. The lining is blue and white shot silk,
and pale blue chiffon edged with black lace
forms tho frills around the shoulders and down
the side, with BOWS of blue satin ribbon.
Among tho canvas gowns is one Of brown
with q silk stripe, lined with green and black

either side. Triple rovers-one of silk between

gowns, and white canvas over q color 10 very
popular. One gown of this sort has q red tafreta
lining, o lace bodice and q bolt and collar Of
green-blue velvet which mako 1t very striking.
Open canvases in checks of two colors and silky
bareges tucked to form the principal trimming
are very much liked. Braid and cords are often
used as q trimming on the white canvas gowns,
and insertions made Of lace braid and fancy
stitches are sometimes set in with q cord on each
edge; silk guipure insertions beaded with steel
are also employed in tho Same way. Feather
stitching appears in some of the gowns as a finish
for the wide hens and the narrow ruf1es which
trim the skirts. Black, white and colored satin
ribbon, half an inch wide, gathered in the mid
die, is another form Of dress trimming used as an
edging for rufles, revcrs and collars, and q hum
dred yards are often disposed Of on one gown.

novelties in dress trimmings, and applique lace

chiffon, and silk embroidery are very desirable.

second model shown is of pure white muslin
with an inner dress of green chiffon, and a sash
and belt also of the green adding much to the
ethereal effect 80 much sought after this season.
Tinted muslins In pale yellow, green. sun
flower blue, and ecru, dotted with another color
or with white. are very popular. and very dressy
when made with tucks and insertions Of lace
entirely covering the skirt and bodice. which
should overhang the belt all around. Pale
ocru muslins, trimmed lavishly with yellow lace
insertions, are ono OF the latest fancies of
fashion. One pretty imported model has three
rows of wide lace insertion around the skirt. a
tucked bodice with a round yoke of white mus
LIN finely tucked. from which falls a collar Of
yellow lace finished on the edge with q hem Of
the ecru muslin. and a belt OF green and white
and black plaid silk. Tho key pattern is prettily
carried out with cream lace insertion in another
model of pink lawn, where 1t decorates the
knee-deep rufle and the skirt above it. The
bodice has q narrow tucked yoke, the tucks
cunning crosswise. and in tho fulness below the
koy pattern appears again with the squares
going up in the back and front.
Muslin gowns are ideal for garden parties,
and are certainly q necessary part Of the sum.

cyclometer goes on strike. When q follow takes
his wife or sweetheart out on O tandem he
will. OF course. offer to do her share Of the pedal
ling when there's a long hill to climb and tho
fair one Is unequal to the task. But 1t happens
that very few of tho wheelwomen who are In.
adequate to hil-climbing are riders of tandems.
They use bicycles built for one. and when hills
or bad roads are encountered. the wheelwoman
who lacks strength or perseverance usually dis
mounts and trundles her wheel over the objeo-

That performance always entails u moro or less
serious impairment of tho riders dignity.
Now. there's a way TO avoid all such dis
comfort. The idea may not be entirely now, but
a good illustration Of 1t was given last Sunday
on the road to Fort George. Sunday was a great
day for the wheel. but tho sun was pretty hot
