the women hustled up from the country
the other morning and stormed a counter
of pique four-in-hands, much after the
fashion in which the Rough Riders took

pongee yellow, and lots of them were
Bmartly embroidered on their tips with
suitable sporting devices. Mixed with the
pique ties were some watered silk, in black
and the new and popular Irish green.
These have been brought forward with a
view to introducing again the use of the
stiif, white, starched, turnover shirt collar.
Evidently their mission is about to be ac-
complished, for the ties themselves are
neat and beguiling little trIfes and can be
only worn when drawn into four-in-hand
knots under crisp white linen standing col

The very absorbing interest In this

doubt, from the attention nine-tenths OF
2 country dwelling femininity is giving to
her muscle. 1t is no longer the pretty and
sporty thing for the golfer, and her out-of-
dorsey likes to roll up her sleeves, cast
on her hat and knot a bandanna about her
neck when the game wakes fast and furious,
or the automobile threatens the lives OF the
wayside citizen. The American woman Is
far too instinctively neat and grace-lovins
to abide the semi-professional SLOUGH In

II is orthodox to make a complete toilet
for any sport you please and keep that
toilet In order, though records fall.

The really elaborate point to which the
fashionable and yet thoroughly useful golf
ing dress has been lifted is shown by a
sketch OF an ideal hot weather suit done
in embroidered aud plain linen. The linen
is self colored; that is to say, it Is a plain
max brown, and the skirt and waist are
made OF the unbleached and undyed goods
embroidered in tiny bright green spots.
The waists quaint yoke and the broad
front panel are wrought OF the same goods
without the dots and twelve big bullet
shaped green MUSE! shell buttons lend a
decorative touch. About the neck goes a
stock of unstarched linen with tie ends OF
bright green MORE silk. and the Panama
hat is trimmed with a veil Of green chiffon
and two very dark green Spanish cock
plumes.
Laced shoes and heavy gloves with per-
forated palms are still worn with this type
of dress, but nine-tepths OF the women
wear. instead of silk, mohair or Bingham
petticoats. golf underskirts made Of dainty
lace-trimmed lawn. The excuse for this
seemingly inappropriate extravaganza is
that golf clothes should all wash, and even
the stays now sold for active wear or the
links are made OF linen tape with pull out
bones. wAch enables the laundress to boil
and bleach them as easily as Isle thread
hose.
According to the experienced dressmaker
there is more silk in wear this summer
than ever before. Her books show ten silk
ifrocks made up for every one Of wool or
cotton. Next after the silk ranks the use
OF linen. Pongee and foulard and the JOY OF
light dressing in hot weather is the cause
OF II all, she says, but so far this has
been an unusually cool summer and the
pongees are lined in lots Of cases with
heavy cotton. at least where stout women
are concerned. At this moment the alb
