the waist trimming were Of stitching.
THE POPULAR CYCLING HAT.
The popular outing hat continues to be
the sailor, although there has been a Wig
| orous effort to replace it with the Tam
O'Shanter, the beef-eater and the pud-
ding-bag. But the sailor is so universally
becoming and is so easily obtained that
it. will hold sway for another summer.
The fashionable sailor of the season has a
tan crown and a broad brim. 1t is a
larger hat than last year. 1t has become
quite a fad to trim it with a and OF rib.

vest. Sailor bands are sold for this pur-
pose and are easily slipped over the
crown. They are secured in place with
a tiny ornament which holds the band

Seldom seen. Boots now come Of ordi-
nary height with soft tops and pliable
soles. but even these are not as popular
as the low shoes, which are so cool and

rebelled and are endeavoring to force the
riders to ride the standard colors. At
present, however. it looks as though the
rider would win the day, and the I'M

savoy red, wood brown, coral pink, pearl
white and all the other fashionable colors

The saddle. too, must match, and there
come plaid feathers in all colors for the
covering of the saddles. A silk saddle is
very pretty, but unfortunately it wears
out too soon, while a. velvet saddle is I'M

One must not forget that bicycle
dresses are faced with silk nearly to the
waist line, SO that a pretty glimpse of
color is afforded as the rider pedals.
