No woman who has ever enjoyed the
freedom of cross-saddle riding In the
country will ever again submit to the old
style stiff manner of side-saddle riding,
except for the necessary Formally of
town exercise. Not only is the canter
more comfortable and enjoyable when one
is balanced sensibly across the saddle in
stead of perched on one side OF IL: but it
Is much easier to rest on the cross-saddle,
when ones mount Is standing still The
sde-saddle rider must retain her con-
strained position with one knee hugging
the pommel until she Is ready to dis
mount: but with cross-saddle one may
sit in two or three ways. rest the foot In
one stirrup or in the other and turn al
most around in the saddle In either direc-
ton. A khaki skirt and silk riding shirt
will answer for use out in the woods. but
where one Is more or less in the gaze or
onlookers a riding coat is in the best
taste. This coat falls to the knee and
quite covers riding breeches Of linen
crash worn underneath. Its lower edge
meets the top of leather puttees, strapped
over ordinary buttoned boots. A smart
pepper and salt checked riding coat is
pictured and all the accessories that ac-
company this coat are correct-the black

The white linen tennis costume Illus
trated is an ideal outing dress for a young
girl. The skirt has inverted pleats at
either side which permfts plenty of room

the trim belt falls a peplum and the col

able girdles with two long narrow sash
ends OF black velvet or satin. A very
effective gown is made for wearing over
a princess slip of black mousseline. The
bottom OF the dress is fiounce of fine
lace and above is a tunic of Venice lace.
and the surplice waist isSof the same lace
with a chemisette or vest of fine thread

tail. The sleeves are almost to the finger
tips Lace or very open embroidery coats
have brilliant Innings of changeable tai

Many bodices are cut very low with the
space filled in with lace ruches. F1ounces
are appearing, but they are kept scanty.
New flounces on taffeta skirts are cut TO
be stitched on fatty and the lower edge
cut in scallops or petals and self bound.
Velvet shoes OF such startling shades
as grass green and deep lavender are
seen. Combinations of tan and black, or
gray and black in velvet or leather have
rhinestone buckles set near the toe.
Charlotte Corday hats in lace are being
worn with lingerie gowns. A charming
rembrandt hat for misses is made OF
shirred taffeta with a rosette and POM
pom at the side. 1t is worn much tipped
on the side. White Panama and Floren-

Latest Outing Hats.

EELT hats in white or pastel cofors are
/ popular for outing or street wear
and are in both pressed and soft shapes.
and oftentimes are made of combina-
ton Of leghorn or hemp braid ana
felt The braid Is usually used for under
brims or for fianges and side crown trim
mings, and the upper portions Of the hats
are Of felt. These hats Of felt and braid
are quite as appropriate for street as Tor
outing wear. as many Of the models are
trimmed with ostrich feathers, wings and
breasts, or with any Of the materials
which are suitable for the trimming or
tailored millinery. In shapes they are
similar to many of the popular designs
of the present season, the left-side roll as
well as the rolling-brim sailor being
among the most popular shapes. Straight
brims with just the suggestion Of droop.
as well as the smaller shapes which are
somewhat on the walking hat design, are
also seen to quite an extent.
Soft materials on the order of felt and
panama are much liked for outing wear.
