approved cut is rather narrow gored
skirt of white pique duck, short
enough to show pretty boots and striped
with many rows 'of red or blue braid or
piping. The blouse has big pearl buttons
and is covered-sleeyes, sailor collar and
all-with close-set bayadere braiding. A
sailor hat and not a yachting cap is the
correct head wear for small boat seaman

When the new" is worn off the tartan
craze a little more noticeabIy the chances
are that white pique and duck will be as
fashionable for golf and wheeling suits as
they are certain to be for tennis. This
Is TO be distinctly white summer. par
ticularly pretty model of white cycle
dress is made of woolen pique, which
promises to be about as near the summer
glrls heart as any material yet offered her,
being softer and lighter than the ordinary
pique, but possessing all its good qualities.
Ihe cycle suit has tailor skirt with
strapped seams. 1t is worn with a pique
blouse turning over in scarlet revers and
showing vest of white and scarlet check

the tie.
White Outing Gowns.
The white golf suit chooses the same

The short walking dress always demand

with triple skirts sweeping In long curves

has an odd trimming OF gold lace plated
with white chiffon into kind of braid
which outlines an imaginary bolero. A

net and ribbons. while the sleeves have
insertions of yellow lace and are finished
