NEW RIDING HAT AND HABIT

T HE riding habit of to-day is a curl
ously different affair from that in
which our mothers rode forth. Then
the long, full skirt escaped the ground
by bare three inches, kept down by
leaden weight which must have been won
drously well placed not to hit against the
Door horses as they cantered, causing
innumerable runaways. To-day the skirt
lust covers the toe of the smart boot, and,
in fact, Is hardly a skirt at all, for when
mounted it is opened down the centre
of the back and covers only the outside
Of the figure. The brceches are made
of the same material as the skirt and
coat so even if the skirt should separate
in mounting or dismounting there Is moth
ing ungracefu in the effect. Ihls new
skirt makes side saddle every bit as
safe, even for hunting, as cross saddle,
and there are any number of girls VINO
really prefer the side saddle but rlde
astride in hunting and cross country RID
ing, simply because there is less danger
of being dragged in n divided skirt than
in the old fashioned side saddle sklrt
should tumble be met with

the familiar English sailor, but not quite

CARE OF WARDROBE.

T HE girl who is spending the summer
in remote place can only keep her
wardrobe in good condition by giving
intelligent directions to amateur laun-

laundress to soak the organdy I'D lawn

warm water in which a tablespoon Of
borax has been dissolved, rub with cas-
tile soap suds, pour over them boiling
water, cool and rinse III Iepld -'ater.
Rust stains OH white clothes may be
removed by wetting the spots with
mixture of lemon juice and salt. Ink

treated with n stiff paste of boiled down
CASTLE soap shavings spread thickly on
the stain and scattered over with pow
dered potash slightly mOistened with

Silk stockings should be soaked for
half hour in warm suds softened with

dried without using an iron.

Any mud stains should be sponged from
black cloth with little ammonia before

magnesia. Cover paint spots
with spirits of turpentine, allow it to re-
main for a few hours, after which, by
rubbing the cloth between the fingers, the
paint will crumble off without injuring

MILDLY BLoUsEs POPULAR.

THERE is a craze this summer for
MILDLY blouses, and if Uncle Sam
does not watch out the supply for
his sailors will run out, for girls are dis
covering where they are made and sold
and are making veritable raids on the
,stonisbed manufacturers. The blouse
NAV be worn inside the belt, outside
blouse fashion or outside hanging straight
down over the hips This latter is the
capaice of the hour and looks very fetch
ing on tall, slim girls; but let short or
stout girls beware lest they make perfect
frights of themselves. The blouse. OF
course, should be worn with a white skirt
and when belted in the belt should oe
of blue to match the trimming on. the
blouse. The correct pronunciation OF the
word blouse, by the way, is ms If it were
spelled with instead of an $, and If
you wish to be up to date you must use
the word properly.

4 MESS a girl has an unlimited al
lowance of pin money she cannot in
variably be nicely gloyed if she does
not know how to take care of those most
important accessories of the costume.
Gloves that are rolled into a ball as soon
as they are taken off instead of being
carefully pressed out fiat soon become
shapeless and shabby.
Gloves that are worn for many days in
succession soon acquire an unpleasant
odor which could be avoided by having
a second pair to be worn on alternate
days, meanwhile hanging the others in
the air for n few moments and then
putting them away smoothly with a small
sachet laid inside each palm.
As soon as possible after n glove is
ripped it should be overseamed with cot
ton which precisely matches the color of
the kid. To repair a torn buttonhole
stitch closely around the edges with u
single row of close buttonhole stitches.
Damp spotted gloves can be restored by
putting a little gum ammoniac under
paper in the bottom of a box, placing the
gloves upon the paper closing the recep-
tacle tightly and leaving it undisturbed
for several days. Slightly mildewed gloves
may sometimes be made presentabe by
exposing the spots to the suns rays for
a few hours for several successive days,
Raw tomato applied to kid glove will

BATHING CAPS.

r HE close fitting bathing caps popular
this season are so readily made that
any girl may have variety of them
One type of cap consists of an oval shaped
piece of material shirred about the face
by means of drawstring run through
pocket on the wrong side of the fab
RIGS outer edge. A turban cap is cut in
circular shape and gathered on to a wide
ribbon with long ends, which, by passing
behind the ears, holds the headgear firmly
in place,
One especially smart model consists of a
square piece of material of the dimen-
sions of a mans handkerchief. The cen
tire is shirred into n cap shape and the
four ends are tied in bows above the brow
and at the nape of the neck.
A three-quarter yard piece of moder'
ately wide material will make any one of
these caps, which, of course, must have
an oil silk foundation. Some girls prefer
plain colored red, blue, green or maize
tafleta; others retain their affection for
the familiar polka dotted foulards. The
rich Oriental hues and patterns Oh rough
silk appeal to a few, and those who are Of
Scotch lineage favor the clan plaid pat
terms of their ancestors.

written book, and the opera changed
perhaps from a rather boring TO an
intensely pleasure giving recreation. Wag-
merriam opera, for example, cannot possibly
be enjoyed without a good knowledge of
the story and a familiarity with the
themes. The girl who will spend an hour or
so each week in studying out the librettos
of the most famous operas, reading the
stories and playing over the themes, will
realize when she comes out and must at
tend the opera at least once a week what
perfect treasure house of delight she
has built for herself. Nor does one need

PRACTICAL TALKS BY THE
APRIL GRANDMOTHER

~ aOUTH mannerisms disfigure a
girl more permanently than do
Halmost any other facial contor-
tions," said the April Grandmother, who
had been quietly observing group OF
prospective dGbutantes lunching at an ad-
iacent table. "The most deplorable of all
mannerisms is lip compression, ms in time
that habit transforms the mouth into
thin, straight line which will lend hard
expression to the prettiest face, aud the
face that has hard expression is old,
no matter how few may be the actual
years of its owner.
"The nervous girl who holds her lips
tightly pressed together is liable to be
seriously misjudged by strangers, who
imagine that her disposition is quite as
narrow as her mouth. Therefore any
embryo bud who is conscious of possess
ing this mannerism would best speedily
break herself of it, as otherwise, unless
she is a multimillionnairess, she will GER
tainly decorate the walls instead of the
floors at the dinner dances and cotillons
where she appears next winter.
"Some girls make practice of twist
ing the mouth toward one side. This
habit causes that corner of the mouth TO
droop and the feature 10 lool, so crooked
that people naturally suppose that sew
eral teeth are missing from that side OF
the Jaw and wonder why she does not
have them replaced. Other girls draw
down the lips at both corners. This is
rolls ny
proval of some person or object, but 1t is
mannerism which will permanently dis
tort the most perfectly shaped Cupid
bow and plough deep lines from its cor
ners to the base Of the chin.
1T behooves the girl who possesses a
pretty mouth to not only refrain from
drawing II down, but to practice turning
up its corners as though just about TO
smile. This exercise will help to keep
the chin from sagging,
sThe girl who bites her lips whenever
she is embarrassed Or annoyed not only
gives public expression of her mental
state and exhibits lack Of sclf-control but
is cultivatng "a thick Tipped mouth which

hat and has much to recommend il, as 1t
is certainly the most comfortable to keep
on, although there is no brim to shade
the eyes. Unfortunately, however,
derby is not generally becoming, so that
the sailor hat is in no danger of losing
its popularity. Mushroom sailors, al
though still worn for tennis golf, &C..
are no longer smart with a riding habit.
A black hat may be worn with either
n cloth or linen habit, but white straw
is correct only with habit of light shade.
The straw derbys, which have somewhat
wider brims and lower crowns than the
ordinary felt derby, are extremely smart
