that the more popular a silhouette
becomes the more fashionable it is,
but the more popular the details OF
clothes become the less fashionable
they are-the day of eretonne for a
dress fabric is gone.
Cretonne, like many other discard
ed fashions, may be brought forward
again little later in totally new
way. That was the fate of the hip
sash, of the pannier and of many 9TH
er fashions that have been introduced
or revived in the last few seasons.
They became Immediately popular,
were done to death by the masses,
were dropped by the fashionable, and
were later re-introduced by smart
dressmakers to gain an exclusive fol-
lowing.
In the meantime, the smartest
smocks are made OF colored linen,
combined with linen in contrasting
color or in white. And these late
summer smocks are not always made
in regulation smock fashion. Some
times the shocking appears in the
front and back, at the waistline,
where it draws in the fulness of the
loose garment most gracefully. Some
times only the sleeves are shocked,
and sometimes there is a shocked
yoke.
Stripes and Checks.
Awning stripes, perhaps because
they are not as generally becoming as
the small figures of cretonne, have
not been killed by popularity. They
are still smart, especially for coun-
try wear, where they fit most appro-
priately into the landscape.
Checks, too, are much worn, espe-
cially in topcoats for motoring and
for autumn walks, and there are
some very attractive checked skirts
of wool for autumn sports.
There are striped silk hats for
country wear-black and blue COM
bined with white, or two colors COM
bined. These are very smart. and if
chosen to harmonic may be worn
with striped voile morning frocks, or
with striped sports clothes.
Another good sports hat for au-
tumn is the plain felt hat, banded
simply, with cord of beads, or en-
broidered with worsted, or plainly
trimmed in some other way. These
come in many colors, in lemon yell
low, in bright green. in blue and
black and white. 1t may be that felt
will be little worn excepting for
sports this winter. At any rate, be-
cause we have not worn much felt
for couple of seasons, these hats
look. especially we'll
There are all sorts of silk blouses

There is no question that cross.
saddle riding is more healthy and
more comfortable and safer than
side-saddle riding. Everybody agrees
on that nowadays. And convention
has removed whatever objection i,
may have had in the past to the wom-
an who rides astride. In fact, 50
does convention change, that there
are few women who ride side-saddle
left.
There are two sorts of dress for
eross-saddle riding, however. One
consists of coat and breeches, with
puttees, stout boots and appropriate
hat and gloves, and the other consists
of coat and divided skirt.
The best sort of divided skirt is
perhaps the kind called a she'll skirt
one that buttons from waist to
hem in the back and in the front. This
is the sort the woman who makes a
convenience rather than a sport of
riding finds desirable For when the
skirt is unbuttoned, it is like any
other short sports skirt in appear
anee-save for the two long lines of
buttons, and even these are not out of
the picture.
And in this wide land there are
still plenty of women who ride from
house to house because it is the most
convenient way of getting there-who
ride away to have luncheon with a
friend or for an afternoon cup of tea.
The woman who rides solely for the
sport can usually dress for riding
just before she starts out and change
back again to other suitable clothes
as soor as her ride is over. So for
her the divided skirt is unnecessary.
So many people spend the autumn
in the eountry-or at least a part of
it-that sports clothes of every sort
and outdoors clothes in general pos
sess an autumn interest. Naturally,
however. there are no new autumn
sports fashions for tennis, boating or
golf. The new autumn sports fash
ions have to do with the clothes for
riding, shooting, hunting and golf.
AS for the others, they are based on
the midsummer styles.
This means that smocks and many
notifications of them in their orig
inal form will still be worn for coun-
try mornings. Cretonne, as one
might have expected, was so striking
that it quickly became popular. And
as popularity hurts all the details of
fashion-it has been wisely said

quality, for they wash we'll and. do
not fade. The imitation silk is not
a bargain, for it does. not wash satis-
factorily, and the colors are not fast.
These imitation blouses or sweaters
are quite good enough when one
wishes to get only little wear from
them, but the real ones make up in
durability for the larger price that
must be paid.

MILLIONS
 TO PRESIDENT OF
 W6MEN'S COLLEGE

Baltimore, April e.-Miss Mary Carey Thomas. president of Bryn Mawr college, will receive the bulk of the $1O,OOO,OOo estate left by her friend, Miss Mary Elizabeth Garrett, who was the daughter of Holm w. Garrett, late president of, the Balti- more and Ohio railroad.
 This was disclosed yesterday by the probating of Miss Garrett's will il. the Orphans court here. Miss Thomas is the residuary legatee and also ex- ecutrix under the will.
 Had Miss Garrett survived Miss Thomas, Johns Hopkins University would have received the residue of her estate, under the provisions oA the will anticipating such d contin- gency. Compliance with certain con- ditions were required, however, be- fore the property would pass to the university. It was provided that if the university should disregard these conditions the residue should go to the Peabody Institute.
 No Bequest to Bryn MasEr
 Bryn, Mawr College of which Miss Garrett was a graduate, receives no bequest, but the terms of the will, however indicate that Miss Thomas and Miss Garrett who had been close friends for years, had an understand ing according to which the college will receive substantfal benefits.
 Miss Garrett's estate. consists chief 1y fof realty in this city, Baltimore county and Garret county, and of stocks, largely inherited by Miss Gar ret fEom her father
 Miss Garpett's will provided for two contingencies. One part of it disposes of the estates in the event that Miss Farrell should die before Miss Thomas. That provision, of course, is effective. The other. which is not effective, disposes of the estate in case Miss Garrett should survive Miss Thomas.
 The will is a long instrument, with every bequest and devise so specific ally provided for that there is little doubt as to the intentions of the tes- tatrix.
 Miss Thomas, accompanied by D. K. Este Fisher, a friend of Miss Gar rett, and her lawyer, has qualified as executfix of the will. She furnished a bond in the sum of $90O, nominal figure, as the will provided that no, bond should be necessary
