Confections for Canoeing.
Usually canoeing is SO mild a sport-ss
followed by the average summer girl
that one may step into a canoe without
giving much attention to the question OF
garb, beyond taking care that the skirt
of the duck, pique or linen shtrtwaist or
jumper suit be not too long. In order TO
comfortably handle a paddle the blouse
should be loose, the sleeves short and
the neck low. The canoeing hat should
shade the eyes, and be of a shape that 10

Summer Coaching TOggery.
Simple lines are followed in the severe
| ly tailored linens, and piques used for
| coaching toggery by the feminine horse
woman who is sufficiently expert with
the ribbons to undertake the driving OF
a four-fn- hand or a tandem. She will
have no extra fold to trammel her move
ments in stepping to and from her high
seat, and, therefore, the skirt of her tan
or taupe -colored linen must escape the
ground by fully two inches, be slightly
gored and prominently stitched, but other
wise practically untrimmed. The Prince
Chap jacket Is one of the most popular
models followed In the building of driving
suits, as it affords perfect liberty to the
arms, but If woman be not of wflowy
slenderness, she may prefer the half-ft-
ting mannish cutaway, with Its sun col
lar and Beau Brummel bow accessories.
Riding Habits and Hats.
The summer riding habit is quite as
often of linen and mohair as of the erst-
while conventional cloth, and while waists
are still so snug of fit and severe of line
as to make a very young girl look reed
slim, there have been marked improve
ments In skirts. One of these is It's

of the divided riding skirt is that Its

the waistband, front and back. Sailors
are still much used as summer riding
hats and are made more becoming TO the
faces Of women past their first youth, by
being decorated and their lines softened
by veil crown swathings.
Small Girls and Large Bows.
The small girl who learns to ride as
we'll as to master every other out-of-door
sport more readily than her grown-up Sis
ters does not bother about a hat at all
when taking her riding lesson. She
simply clings to the big pink, blue, yell
low or green taffeta bow, which ties her
curls back from her brow, and thus learns
to canter, trot and pace undisturbed by
the state of her hat. her hair or her conf
plexion.
