The tailored tub shirt waist Is, OF course
the only thing suitable for the neglige
summer riding costumes OF skirt and wash
blouse, and mannish cravat matching the
shirt is the proper accompaniment. as Is
a narrow belt also matching the skirt-not
crush belt. Summer riding habits or sepa-
rate skirts Of lightweight worsted. usually
in a service able gray, though sometimes
in the covert shades, and riding habits or
skirts Of tub materials Of the heavy crash
or drill varieties are enjoying greater
vogue than ever before, and every modish
horsewoman has them in her summer out
ft.
correct wear with the summer riding Co.'S
tune. Loose, heavy gloves, turned back at
the wrist, and boots are in order and the
riding crop has been relegated to limbo,
while every horsewoman carries q riding
whip.
In motor coats and caps there is more
variety than ever before but We devoted
a page to discussion Of motor garb, only a
few weeks ago. Silk rubber, cravenette
and the rainproof tweeds, coverts, DC,
are the best materials for rough motor wear
and the most picturesque effects are OBJ
tanned IN the SILK TubDers.
One particularly smart coat brought over
by Broadway importer Is Of light weight
silk rubber in a dark blue and green tartan
plaid. The material is 30 fine and light
and the coloring so beautiful that the effect
is that of heavy lustrous piece Of blue
and green tartan silk and the coat is dark
enough to he serviceable yet by no means
somber. The lines are severe and trim.
and the only trimming is in heavy stitching
and In the buttons covered with the plaid
and set in narrow gold rims.
Fine light weight silk rubber In the fash
ionable dove gray shade is liked by the
French motor coat makers and the model
sketched here was in this material.
Pongee, taffeta, and linen dust coats arc
legion and will be much used for motoring
during hot weather, but are OF course
impractical for bad weather. A coat Of
light rubber or cravenette, coat OF pongee
or taffeta and II good knitted sweater make
up the rational outfit for country touring
during the summer months, and 1t Is difficult
to get one coat that will answer all purposes.
Any costume really suitable for golf will
do for tennis. but skirt that clings is not
30 annoying to the golfer as to the tennis
player and longer skirt than that appro-
pirate for tennis is practical for golf.
The pivot sleeve introduced upon some
OF the best sporting bouses is ideal for tennis
giving the arm absolute freedom of move
ment without danger Of tearing out closely
fitted armhole. The pivot sic eve blouse is
of course not so trim as the ordinary blouse,
but we'll cut and made in soft material it
takes on graceful loose folds and a we'll

neatly.
The accordion or sun plated costume Of
pongee or yelling ia a popular and sensible
one for tennis, though, while graceful and
comfortable on the courts, it will not en-
dure much lounging about without mussing
and requiring pressing, A tennis frock
made for New York debutante and repro
duced here was of pongee accordion plated
for skirt, blouse and sleeves.
The sleeves were set in in pivot lines and
ended just above the elbow with a turn
back cuff of embroidered open work white
linen. The blouse, cut down at the throat,
had fiat collar Of the linen and a scarf of
pongee. A crush belt Of pongee bound in
white linen and with white linen buckle
was to be worn with the frock, and white
stockings and white tennis shoes were OF
course the suitable footwear.
White linen, pique or madras frocks
made with short skirt and shirt waists are
always liked for tennis and golf, and In place
of rolling up the sleeves to the elbow, after
the somewhat untidy fashion long in vogue. ]
many women are having the sleeves of their
golf and tennis waists cut OF just above the
elbow and finished with a fat turnback
cuff.
Linen and pique are utilized for out
ing costumes. not only Of the shirt waist
frock type. but also for coat and skirt COS
