 The lines of the riding coat are quite long and have a decidedly pointing front reaching to the knees. The cuffs are trimmed with bone or cloth buttons and the sleeves are full at the shoulders. giving a very pretty effect. The buttons of the cufY match the others on the skirt, and large hunting pockets with pointed flaps give plenty of room for ne cessities, such as the wallet, gloves or handkerchiefs.
 The skirts answer a double purpose. The nrst impression is that they are of the walking variety with row of but tons down the entire length of the front gores. But they are vastly different from a walking skirt When the rider is ready to mount she unbuttons the front of the skirt from the left side. IL is then thrown over to the right gore and fastened along the side. As re- suit she has a divided skirt. an article which is vssy much worn by the women nders today. The sids-saddie has been almost done away with. and thus 1t is quite necessasy to have the divided skirt. When the ride ts over and it is neces- sary to walk the skirt can be rebuttoned. the flap reversed. giving wellnttins circular skirt of the usual walking kind

 There are many styles for dressing the hair for women who ride. Probably the best and most common-sense style is an arrangement in q plait. as this will remain in place even during a hard ride. There is no danger of 1t coming down just at the wrong time. In case of a hard eross-country ride a silk net can cover the hair, and many girls wear large bows of ribbon.
 In the selection of the hat the horse woman has a variety of styles to choose from, yet the derby seems never to grow out of style There are many late styles in derbies for women and some of these are very pretty.
