one happy faculty, of so emphasizing
the rotundity of the leg that the
clumsiest ankle and foot seem small by
comparison.
This mastery subterfuge is never
resorted to, of course, by the possessor
of a tight, round ankle, and a neat
straight foot. Instead, she wears on her
bicycle, brightly striped stocking, and
a pretty thing i'll footgear known as
a Scotch brogue. A brogue is nothing
more than the low buckled shoe a
Highlander wears when in full dress
1t is black leather slipper, with a
square heel, cut down rather far over
the toes, and showing a bright silver
buckle on the strap that crosses the
irstep. \ brogue is. not exactly shoe
designed for touring, but it is admir-
able for short afternoon rides and calls
made awheel.
ON THE HIGH SEAS.
Just at present when Columbia seems
in fair way 10 share with Britannia
the rule of the waves, there is consid-
cradle activity in yachting fashions.
All the big pleasure boats are out of
commission, or have been turned over
to the government, but in we'll pro-
tected waters the little sail boats will
be busy enough. More than all the
spirit of the hour is making itself felt
have u distinctly naval air. The boat
ing suits are fairly loaded down with
gilt braid; the smart REFER jacket has
a row of little admiral'S stars on the
high collar, and q free translation of
the gold lace epaulette is introduced on
the shoulders. The most captivating
water gowns are those of white cloth,
touched up with gold and blue braid,
and in place of a belt an officers sash

to one side. The white boating suits
are made chiefly of fishermen's twill,
a new thing under the sun, and d re-
lief from the CoWes SergeS, so long and
faithfully worn. Another adorable sea-
side goods is white summer Gamers
hair. Needless to say, this is an ex-
pensive thing, and the long hairs in it
are a silvery white, which gives the
goods a glimmering electric quality
that has never been seen before.
Though rough and soft, this goods is
not hot or heavy, and some women
there are who wear nice new cotton
thing called cotton corduroy. 1t really
seems to be nothing more than pique
of unusually high rib, and in good
standing among the salty fabrics is a
faced pique, that is tan, gray, blue or
green on one SIDE and plain white or
variety tint on the other.
Smartly pretty boating shirt waists
are wrought of cotton canvas, that is
like heavy cotton grenadine in quail
ity and a number of these button up in
the hack. a certain number of women
even use little gold studs in the rear
of these shirts and wear with them
Roman collars, about which white rib
bons are wound and tied in full bows
behind.
LITTLE ECCENTRICITIES.
With the advent of so much military
and naval activity a prompt response
has been made by the tailors and dress
makers and braid has come to the front
again. This is especially true of the
sporting clothes. Nearly all the braid
is gathered on, and to show their fdel-
ity TO the question of paramount inter-
est, the women have the placket holes
of their yachting suits laced up, as a
sailor laces his breaches These laced
skirts fit snugly about the hip and flare
broadly at the knee. a good many BIZ
cycle women follow this rule, too, not
