There is that about mountain air and
mountain scenery which invites long walks
and often arduous scrambles among even
such women as are usually more quiet in
their pleasures. while lovers of sport find
the time and the location inspiration for all
sorts of daring feats, all of which means
that clothing must be we'll considered.
Whatever else you may go without, be
quite sure that a walking suit of some APP
propriate wool is included in your list. You
will want and need lighter costumes. You
will, probably. find occasion for your film
lest lawn. but unless in this strange sum-
/ mer the mountains have lost their habitual
methods the walking suit will find an i'm
/ perative demand before the trip draws to
/ Its close. No other material can be trusted
! TO Withstand the chill that so often is
found in the early part of the day, no
/ other style of gown suits the hard usage
/ to which 1t surely will be put. Cheviot and
J light weight cloth are both correct, but the
demand of the season is for mannish eff
/ fects. If you would be counted ultra smart
pear this fact in mind and select a suit as
closely like that ordered by your husband
! or brother as may be. All the mixtures
familiar in mems outing suits are in vogue
and are admirable. Grays, tans and the
| IKE take the lead, but many of the grays
| include lines that give a greensh effect and
! others include threads of red. In addition
there is a new material in black shot with
| white that Is known queens mourning
| and is much liked for suits of the sort. 1t
| Is In reality a cheviot and is light in weight
and somewhat loosely woven. but has been
| given its name in compliment to the long
! period of black and white maintained in
England out of respect to the late Queen.
TWO THINGS ESSENTIAL.
| Whatever the material, however, the
skirt must clear the ground and the jacket
| must be one of three sorts-a loose Nor
folk. blouse with basque or a twenty-five
or twenty-seven-inch coat that is half fitted
at the back and loose at the front Be-
meath the jacket is TO be worn a shrtwaist
OF the simplest sort of either linen or cot
ton and with it a stock or a linen collar
| with four-in-hand tie. All the coats are
/ made with plain, snug Sleeves, with this
/ last fact TO be borne in mind More elabo-
| rate waists creates a demand for big sleeves
IN the garments that are to be worn over
/ them, but these suits are designed for serv-
/ ice and are permissible only with simple
! shlrtwaists Cheviot, duck, piQue. butch
e e linen are the favorite materials both
/ for immediate and future wear with
| French flannel and albatross for the days
that seem to demand wool Washable
! waists possess the undoubted advantage
| of becoming fresh and new each time they
are sent to the laundry, and in the heavier
fabrics they will be worn within doors well
into the winter They are sufficiently heavy
in our heated houses and they are abso-
lutely hygienic. so that may look for
even more than the usual use. but this
| truth by no means implies that the pretty
fannels and waist cloths will fall into dis
use. For the mountain trip ii is always
we'll that a few of these last should be
! packed in the trunk. Hotels designed for
summer are not steam heated. Often an
August or September storm means greater

As have stated, the coats to these suits
take three forms. The skirts are either

THE HATS TO WEAR.
With these delightful walking shooting
travelling and all-round useful suits are
hats of soft white and gray felt that are
as light as the traditional feather and most
comfortable as well as becoming FavOrite
examples include touches of green and are
most effective with the quiet costumes but
pure white, gray and castor are quite cor
rect Some beautiful models are made
with crown of white and brim of pastel
green that are woven together, and others
again are white with green found in the
| trimming, a =

perched on brim that cause for comment
or distaSte arises. Green in velvet in felt
in wings is effective, but what beauty
is found in these sacrificed creatures | am
unable to discover. Shapes are simple in
the extreme, preferably the turban and
broad-brimmed sailor and are low and
somewhat broad.
Golf always makes an element of the
mountain trip and must be provided for as
we'll as the long tramps. Short skirts are
essential as matter of course and fol-
low much the same lines as those of the
walking suit, but jackets are little used, as
the exercise is too intense. Cheviots. mo-
hairs, duck. heavy linen all are in use

tumn, but AT this season they find little
use. Mohair is delightfully."- light OF weight
