PARIS. Sept. 2s.-The general vogue for
out door sports has had a beneficial effect
upon the couturiere, 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.
IL IS generally stated that outing dress
Is follow the vogue for street gowns, eA-
oept when the latter are Of lace and de-
llcately made: but this, while true of 9TH
er seasons. does not apply TO this year,
for the street modes are far too elaborate
10 be useful on field. farm and fen, IN
mountain 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 COILS must
have a special gown designed for the oc-
cason. The old trick OF cutting off last
years tailor-made suit IS out Of style.
While cashmere was the ideal sole ma
terial OF last year, serge Is the material
Of this season. But serge OF the fine,
sort type without "a particle Of harsh
ness In its weave. There IS serge as
soft as me diagonal and it comes in all
coors.
TWO bicycle suits of finest serge were
so strikingly combined as TO merit atten-
ton. They were built Tor two very eie-
giant Paris women who wheel daily along
the smooth roads leading out Of the city.
The wheeling suits were evidently con-
structcd with an eye for color as well as
10 durability and usefulness
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 q blouse Of the ink serge with very
broad lapels of the plaid. and with this
natty little suit there went a cap of the
serge trimmed with plaid
A lichen gray serge was striped with
very narrow bands OF black plaid and
hordered with broad braid around the
foot and hem. Both Of these styles you
would do well to copy; they cannot be
beaten for color effect

A REArARKABEE ORDER.
A very remarkable order was SHOWN
me the other day by one OF the most re-
liable modis,es IN Paris. 1t was for
the outing suits OF deep mourning for
one of the ladies' Of the Vanderbilt fam
ny, one was for golf suit OF fine soft
black rep. the other for bicycle dress OF
the same goods. The modiste told me
that both dresses would be lined WIN
lack Iustre silk and that the skirts wouio
be trimmed with bands OF the rep. Inc
Jacket of each would be an Elton faceo
with dull silk and both would open over
black flannel waists trimmed with bands
Of dull ribbon. Across the left sleeve OF
each would be the real note Of mourning
I'm 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 modistes say
will not become popular, even as an out
ing garment. 1t makes the Jacket hard
to get on and Off and IT Is clumsy. As
an afternoon garment, for sewing or
wearing in the house. It IS different. But
for occasions where one pulls on and OH
the coat often a. viii not do.
The remarkable thing about the fash
ions. either In street or on the bicycle, Is
their color. the most brilliant shades be-
ing seen in all the plaids and plain stufis.
At Fontainebleau these pleasant days
there is a riot Of color, damson red being
the popular shade II IS combined win
egg.bell blue. which has made It's debut
as a street color.
A ladies' cloth Of damson red was
trimmed with applique Of blue cloth set
In the bodice as a vest and introduced in
the skirt as a panel. Collar and cuffs
Of blue and q jaunty Scotch cap OF blue
cloth was worn.
The neatest little silk skirts are worn
with Jackets Of damson red cloth anu
skirts Of red.
4 very comfortable fashion has been
lately introduced both I'm street and out
ing suits, I'm underwear. Petticoats arc
made out of flannel as far as the Knee
below which silk Is used. This gives
luxury and warmth for the woman VINO
wants to wear pretty things without
loading down her hips with skirts. The
silk Is put on as a lounce and IS sewed
10 the flannel I'm such a way that Il can
be removed when the skirt Is Numbered.
or. 81 wash silk be used, the entire skirt
can be washed. For outing purposes
tiahts are generally worn. but those wo-
men who insist unon the petticoat for the
wheel for golf and for hunting, Will find
this a very convenient and comfortable
mode.
