HONEST PEOPLE.

Philadelphia Inquirer: "Here' is your
fare, conductor, you overlooked me, l
guess"
The speaker was a well-dressed man Of
middle age. His remark was made as
he was making his way toward the rear
platform of a trolley car to get off, after
having ridden ten or twelve squares. and
he accompanied it by handing over to
the conductor a nickel.
THAT fellow thinks he Is entitled to a
gold medal for honesty" grOwled the
conductor. as he pocketed the coin. blu
he ought to have a leather medal fos
burned foolishness instead"
"HoW's that" queried the Saunterer,

honesty?"

Paris, Sept. 2S.-The general vogue for
outdoor sports has had a beneficial effect
upon the c%outuriere, for she has spent
her nights lying awake over a new FASH
ion which would please the outing wo-
man. From the blouse and skirt which
was the only solace two years ago she
has evolved modes that are becoming and
stylish.
1t is generally stated that outing dress
es follow the vogue for street gowns, eX-
cept when the latter are of lace and deli
cately made: but this, while true of other
seasans, does not apply to this year for
the street modes are far too elaborate
to be useful on field. farm and fen, in
and along the late shore.
True. there are some perfectly plain
tailor made dresses and these may be
said to follow the same lines as the out
ing gowns but, generally, this year the
woman who wants to cycle, who has a
place for shooting. and who COLTS, must
have a special gown designed for the oc-

casion. The old trick of cutting off last
years tailor made suits is out of style.
While cashmere was the ideal soft ma
terial of last year, serge is the materHll
of this season. But serge of the fine, soft
type without a particle OF harshness in
it's weave. There is a serge as soft as
fine diagonal and it comes in all colors.
Two bicycle suits of finest serge were
so strikingly combined as to merit atten-
ton. They We're built for two very ele-
giant Paris women who wheel daily along
the smooth roads leading out Of the city.

structed Will an eye for color as we'll as

The darker of the suits was Of dark
ink blue serge with skirt to the shoe
tops. The foot Of the skirt was trimmed
with a band of plaid suiting. The waist
was a blouse of the ink serge with very
broad lapels of the plaid. and with this
natty little suit there went a cap of the

in long brilliant ends, some OF them
plaided and fringed. The dress just de-
scribed had the tunic effect but you do
not often see the overskirt or the tunic
on the golf dress, at this season.
The little coatee is very popular. The
.neatest coatee is the EtOn, cut off sharp
ly at the back, and extending below the
belt in front in two long tabs. The Elton
! must be shorter than the belt line in the
back or it is robbed of It's most becom-

gives the waist.
A still more abbreviated coatee is the
Elton bOlero which is shorter and rounder

is so oDen in the front.
You see very remarkable corduroys this
season. l have in mind a hunting suit
made of this material, but the corduroy
is quite different from the ~broad-like

A very remarkable order was shown
me the other day by one of the most re-
Liable modistes in Paris. 1t was for two
outing suits of deep mourning for one
of the aides of the Vanderbilt family.
One was for a golf suit of fine soft black
rep, the other for a bicycle dress Of tlE
same goods. The modiste told me that
both dresses would be lined with lack
lustre silk n that the skirts would be
trimmed with bands of the rep. The
jacket of each would be an Elton faced
with dull silk and both would open over
black flannel waists trimmed withEbands
of dull ribbon. Across the left sleeve OF
each would be the real note of mourning
in the shape of a band of black crepe
three inches wide, put on in English FASH
ion. round and round the sleeve.
The flannel waist, the mOdiste say,
will not become popular ever as an out
ing garment. 1t makes the jacket hard
to get on and off n it is clumsy. AS
an afternoon garment, for sewing or
wearing in the house. it is diffsNnt. But
for occasions where n pulls on and off
the coat often it will not do.tl
The remarkable thing, about the fash
ions, either in street or on the bicycle is
their color, the most brillialHt shades be-
ing seen in all the plaids andplain stuffs.
