,SKETCHED IN PARIS BY. MARIE ARMSTRONG;

Special Correspondence OF The Sunday Republic.
Paris. May 17.-Now that the days are
brighter. and lengthening out. those
women who dote on out-of-door exercise
are quite ready to begin a season OF ac-
tivity.
Think not that the day Of the bicycle
Is at an end. There has been less said
or it Of late, To be sure. but this is sim
ply because its novelty is somewhat
worn off. and the newspapers and
magazines do not. I'LL space with things
that are not new. The number Of those
who advocate the riding Of bicycles has
not grown less.
II used to be that London was looked
To for all the best fashions In outing
costumes, but now Paris takes the lead.
The Partisan makers Of such costumes
took the ideas Of the London tailors and
added to them just enough of fancy
touches to make the most serviceable Of
such costumes altogether fetching.
II the American girl who loves fresh
air AID enjoys Out-of-door exercise will
observe the sketches given to-day she
may gather n Frenchy idea or two that
will be Of service to her In the building
Of her cycling and the other suits that
she may be planning for her summer
holiday time.
\ distinctively Partisan idea Is a skirt
and Eton jacket Of black smooth-faced
cloth. A suit Of this sort will only do.
of course. for wear over roads that are
not loaded with dust. Such a suit is
more fashionable and snowy than use
full. However. the same idea may be
carried out in the popular gray and tan
outing cloths.
The original Of the sketch-the black
cloth suits undoubtedly very smart
and fetching. With it there will be worn
tan boots and a tricOrnered hat of felt.
The jacket is novel in shape. not reach
ing to the waist line and being cut out
in square tabs that are ornamented
with buttons. There is a blouse OF
white linen laid in large folds. or tucks.
a soft tie, Of muslin and muslin under
sleeves. This is certainly a dainty and
dress 10 wear when wheeling.
No one could possibly offer the Objec-
ton that 1t is ''mannish' in the least de-
gree.
For both tennis and golf bright cos
tunes are most desirable. With a back
ground Of green he bright costumes
look extremely pretty flashing here and
there.
Tennis is always a favorite game.
There is n chance In 1t to display both
grace and skill.

Things to Cultivate.

FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.

The Eton jacket has long. sloping re
vers and opens over Il shirt waist tiia' Is
worn with a white linen collar and long
satin tie. The shirt waists designed to
go with this suit are of snowy white
linen. and the tie is of black. The effect
is very charming.
A deep green cloth suit has a skirt
with two shaped fiounces. The jacket IS
very novel in design. 1t is formed en-
tirely Of overlapping pieces Of the
cloth, each section ending i'm a point and
finished with n button. The edges OF
the floLnces and those of the blouse and
sleeves are finished with a heavy cord
of the cloth.
A blue cloth costume is as artistic as
1t is possible to make an outing suit. The
odd shape Of the Jacket can better be
gathered from n glance at the sketch
than through description. The sleeves
Of the jacket flare eomewha; below the
elbow to reveal undersleeves. \ red Quill
is stuck jauntily through the front of
the rim Of the hat.
A feature Of outing costumes that Is
entirely new is to be found in the white
muslin undersleeves. This is 4 fashion
that is both pretty and comfortable. The
loose sleeve about the lower part Of the
arm is cool and allows perfect freedom
of action.
The length of outing skirts Is now very
becoming. They are not so short that
they will appear awkward as walking
skirts. Formerly the cycling skirt was
entirely too short. 1t did not look well
except when one WAS mounted on a
wheel, and even then it lacked grace.
The best of all cycling skirts have been
found to he the divided ones.
In London they are talking Of the
suits as sporting suits" There
are sporting" skirts. sporting" jackets
and sporting" hats. But then in London
they speak of shirt waists simply as
shirts" OF course. this is all right, but
the American woman and he women in
Paris do not like quite such a mannish
term for their out-of-dOOr costumes.

an American girl. from London. 1t IL OF

There is no inspiration about the man or
woman who goes about his affairs with a
lack or no evidence at all of enthusiasm.
There is nothing about the temper of such
a person to inspire those with whom he
comes in contact to put forth the best thai

to the contrary. Those who go about either

OF course. since airy muslins and
transparent materials Of every sort are
the vogue, hats are in keeping, and this
means that they are simply covered with
