frocks made of 1t may be washed as easily
as handkerchief. Lace or embroidery
serves as a trimming. The material is
| neat, inexpensive and durable and to be
highly recommended for it's softness and
warmth.
For the theater it is not necessary to
have a costume en- suite of great elabora-
ton, as only the upper part of the figure
is in evidence. A black satin skirt will
serve with innumcrable bodices, and the
skirt need not be absolutely fresh either.
The corsage, however, must be immacu-
late and must be of kind that lights up
well. The sleeves of all such bodices are
long, extending over the hand in the medi-
avail style.
The fashion Of pale gloves continues,
but glace kid has almost entirely replaced
suede. This is fortunate, as the dull, IN
even surface of suede makes its purity
even more short lived than that of kid,
and gloves of the latter become soiled soon
/ enough, Putty color, pearl, lavender,
cream and white are the preferred tones
for gloves even for the street, white in
particular being favored
The illustration shows an out of door
costume of eucalyptus green amazon cloth.
The tablicr is divided on each side from
the rest of the skirt by panels of red and
black plaid silk. The panels are crossed
by short straps fastened by gold buttons,
and black embroidery adorns the foot OF
the front of the skirt The blouse of plaid
silk is covered by slashed bolero of green
cloth ornamented with black embroidery
and fastened with buttoned straps. The
sleeve is arranged with plaits at the top,
over which passes a strap which fastens or
the shoulder. The waist is trimmed with
straps and gold buttons and is finished by
frill of lace The collar and belt are OF
black satin. JUDO CHOLLET.

more games at Manhattan field, the. In

tan field was sort Of Olympian field,
where all contests of speed and endur-
ance took place, and to which the people
aocl1ed by thousands, but the glory of
the noted Enclosure seems to be on the

Yachts For Trial Races.

While there will be no cup race between
the big single stickers this season, and
about all Of the racing in the big classes
will be between the Colonia and the i'm
proved Emerald, there will be plenty of
racing among the smaller boats, partic-
ularly in the new 20 foot or one rater
class, in which there will be an inter
national race between this country and
Canada for the Seawanhaka cup, won
last year by the Canadian half rater

now building for the trial races next

lilac and violet tones combined with pale
green, lettuce green, willow green and
other shades will be much employed. In
fact, green will continue to be the dolni-
pant note. Green and white is the coming
combination, green being trimmed with
revers of white silk or jabots and plaitings
of white gauze.
The wraps of the demiseason are almost
all of cloth. Jackets, capes and redingotes
are all made of this material the latter
garments being very little trimmed, except
by elaborate buttons and revers. The style
of the redingote rests in it's shape and cut,
which must be irreproachable.

FASHIONABLE ACCESSORIES.
Pink and Cherry Color In Fashionable
MiIIinery-Feather Boas.

Allsthe most elegant hats are trimmed
with flowers in more or less profusion.
Violets are still exceedingly fashionable
and are seen in all shades of purple, in
white.a in black. Roses are likewise
much employed in cambria, silk, velvet
and plush. Some of them are close imita-
tions of nature Others in green, blue and
purple haveno resemblance, except in gen
eral shape, to the real flower.
Cherry tones and very deep pinks are in
favor for millinery purposes. One of the
new models is u black hat with a fancy

silk and velvet roses of several shades.
Green and blue and green and purple
changeable effects are still enjoying great
popularity.

MASSACHUSETTS, ROADS,.
The State Is Teaching the People the Ad-
vantages of Improved Highways.

The State is Teaching the People the Ad-
Vantages of Improved Highways.
One Of the difficult matters to control
i'll the use OF the new state highways,
saws the AthOl (Mass. Chronicle, is to
break people of their inveterate habit of
driving i'll one track, so that the horses
always wear the surface in particular
line and the wheels tend to make ruts.
All effort is being made to stop this
practice, aud recently the commission
put up about so signs i'll various towns,
reading, Don't Drive In the Middle of
the Road
The only repairs which have been
necessary for the state roads have been
caused by driving horses continually in
the same tracks, and about So, 500 has
had to be spent to make the damage
good. In several towns, where some
signs to the same effect as the above
were posted last July, the good result
ha4 been apparent. If the people will
only wear the road uniformly all over
the surface, instead of bringing all the
wear upon one spot, the roads will be
vastly more serviceable and the people
will get just as much good from them.
Those who have teaming to do over
the state roads tell the commissioners of
the advantage they find. They cannot
carry heavier loads than before, for there
are still so many sections which have
not been touched that, as the strength
OF chain is measured by it's weakest
link, SO the load which can be drawn
over Il road is measured by the strength
required for the worst place, but the
drivers tell of the quicker time they can
make over the state road and of the
greater ease for their horses. The people
are getting an idea of the great saving
they would enjoy if all the roads were
like those built by the state

FARMERS WAKING UP.
Louisiana Agricultural Society Wants
Good Roads Convention.

Louisiana Agricultural Society Wants a
Good Roads Convention.
The Louisiana Agricultural society
has appointed committee to wait on
Govel nor Foster and request him to call
a road convention in New Orleans at
an early day Commenting on this, the
New Orleans Times Democrat says:
We are glad to see the farmers taking
hold of this matter of better roads
Heretofore nearly all the agitation in
their favor has been by the bicyclists
While they are interested-for good
roads mean better, longer and pleasanter
rides for them-their interest is not
tenth that of the farmers. It is a
mere pleasure with them; with the
farmers it is question of dollars and
cents.
Tho extra cost of hauling to market
in consequence Of the thoroughly bad
and often impossible roads with which
Louisiana is afflicted often represents
the difference between profit and loss on
Il crop The cost of hauling is increased
10 per cent, and there is another 10 per
cent to be added for the supplies brought
back to the farm. With good roads the
Louisiana farmers profit on his crop
would be increased 90 per cent over
what he is likely to get today, and in
many cases even more, and many farm
ers who now find at the end of the year
that they have not made cent and that
the cost of raising their crops has swal-
lowed up every dollar these crops have
brought them, would find a handsome
balance left
A road congress will not build roads,
but it will start the agitation in their
favor. 1t will have its influence on the
legislature at its next session and assure
the passage of good road law.

THE SPORTING WORLD.

What is the secret Of the bicycles
popularity? Why, simply this; AS fur as
business is concerted il is cheap, eff
Gent, practical, speedy and altogether
satisfactory method OF conveyance for
certain purposes, and for such purposes
it is bound to grow in use AS for the far
larger field OF pleasure it has gained and
secured its hold because of the constant
changes and never ending novelty which
t brings to the rider. Other sports may
offer equal exercise or pleasure under
certain conditions but the opportunities
are almost always limited Sport which
must be confined to field, track, or
some other special locality will not at
tract for any length of time many ex-
cept those who become particularly pro-
ficient. With cycling this is different.
The rider of wheel needs not to be an
expert M order to secure enjoyment.
The old and the young, the weak and
the strong, can all obtain equal salts
faction. Each establishes his on her
own limit, and each can ride as far or
wherever he or she most desires to go.
There is no set rule and limitation, and
the opportunities for constant change
of scene, for the enjoyment of the great
American habit Of investigation and
the enjoyment Of pleasures which could
not be otherwise obtained are such that
the novelty of cycling does not readily
wear off. Lack of time cuts off more dew
otees of the sport than lack of interest.

GOOD ROADS IDEA.
A Proposition In New Jersey to Teach
BODYBUILDING In the Schools.

A Proposition In New Jersey to Teach
BODYBUILDING In the Schools.
A novel feature of the good roads
movement in New Jersey is the PROPOSE
ton to introduce instruction on road
building into the common schools. The
need of elementary instruction in that
direction is seen every day. The state
report says:
'"The ignorance that prevails among
the average rural residents regarding
the proper manner of repairing even the
common roads shows striking necessity
for some kind of technical instruction,
guided by which our ordinary township
authorities will be able to make the best
use of the ever present materials for
keeping the roads in proper repair.
III travelling over the country we
often see men repairing miry roadway
by throwing mud from the bitches into
the middle of the roadbed. In all our
communities it is common practice to
scrape the worn out material, that has
been repeatedly washed from the center
of the road, back into the middle of the
road, only to be again washed out by
the rain or to be waded through as deep
sand.
Upon our macadam highways there
is prevailing spirit of neglect Instead
of Immediately repairing the little
breaks, our county officials leave them
until rods of the stone become unraveled,
necessitating at times the expenditure
of several hundred dollars per mile for
repairs, where few dollars would have
been sufficient.
