whole tendency of modern dress seems
TO be toward almost tropical intensity
of tints, and daring combinations that
would fatter a macaW. The golfers
take the lead as usual, and are in the
main responsible for this movement.
Their choice for this sumner is hunt
er's pink, with meadow green. A few
cling tenac3ously to plaids, though the
Scotch crcssbarS are fading out or
favor. Inverness cloth, Aberdeen twill,
Harris tweeds and washwoman's
serges are the fabrics they put most
confidence in. The twill is heavy
cotton goods, best suited for skirts, and
OF the Inverness cloth short red coats
are made. Harris tweed is a rough
brown mixture, that literally has no
wear out to it, and thus attracts the
thrifty Washwoman's serge is the
light, why, waterproof serge that
serves as ground plan for such plaid
stripes as are any longer used, and II
is the mode of the moment to have
your cap and golf bag made Of the
same goods as your skirt. The bag is
OF course, heavily reinforced with
heather.
At least the sporting women say there
are some Dropitious coloTs. and some
decidedly preventive of good fortune.
Red is worn by the golfers simply be-
cause Mr. Arthur Balfour made his
longest drives and most effective loft
ing strokes, when he happened to be
wearing his pink hunting coat. A super
stitious countrywoman of this famous
golfer with all a woman's eye Tor
tribes, observed this, took thought,
HE'D herself off to town and secured a
red coat. She at once spread the report
that IL red clothing her muscles We're
braced to marvellous effort, and prompt

Now there are troops of women who
honestly believe that if you are Obliged
for comforts sake to peel of your red
coat, you must still wear some bit OF
this warm color about you to keep
the elements of good luck still on your
side. In consequence, the scarlet golf
stock is all supreme whether it is
made of pique, chambry, or corded silk.
The bicycling women have no common
ccIor as the golfers, but every woman
wears q tie, or a shirt waist, a hatband
or a. belt, showing her individual lucky
shade 1t may be blue, red, green or
yellow, but she never goes awheeling
without il, though it may appear only
in the border of her handkerchief or
as the stone that sparkles in her scarf
pin The yachtswomen very wisely
cling TO blue, as significant of good for
tune, and for this reason they have
new blue that is not navy or pale
mid-ocean blue, 1t is called, and at first
glance ii is rather more of a purple.
AS a matter of fact, il is exactly the
tone Of the seas about the West Indian
islands, and possesses a rich metallic
luster that is distinctly novel
WHIMS OF THE WHEELWOMEN.
Wheeling whets the wits; nobody
denies that, and now that a good many
women have taken the chains off their
trusty cycles, they have found new
use for the discarded bit of mechanism.
At the jew eler's they have made of
gold. silver or gun metal, flexible
bracelets. the links copied after those of
a bicycle chain. The last link of the
chain is, by skillful goldsmithy, so
forged that the chain, when adjusted
or the wrist. shows no catch, no hinge
anywhere. However, it can be easily
broken, by touching a rivet head, re-
moved and sent TO the jewelers., in or
der to have engraved on the links the
