NEW YOIIK. Aug. 7. H9G. Just at this
moment out-of-town fashionables arc divid
ing their time between the frivolities of
high drees and the wearing of comfortable
costumes that now accompany all the sports
nd pleasures allowed for women.

New Yorkers usually set aside for outing

many stunning achievements In the way of
costumes for outdoor life. This year the
Increasing Interest of women In all health

these particular garments of. phenomenal
proportions.
In every shop , bis and Httlc , may be found

or active It may be.
NAUTICAL FIIOCKS.
There are stunning yachting gowns o
white and colored bunting , with big sailor
collars and nautical symbols , that can bo
had at a moment's notice , for JIG. Other
gowns on the same order , but even shorte
than ankle-lengths and perhaps with shor
puff sleetes to give freedom to sturdy bare
arms , are called boating dresses.
These are- even cheaper than the yachting
dresses , many of them selling as low as Jlo

teen occasionally hunting costumes , for It
U now ( julto the thing for smart women In
the haute luondo to take to the killing of
Innocent little birds.
The fad for this sport was first formed

of noble birth et the fashion.
Then one of the ladles of the Astor fain-
lljr caught the Infection , and Immediately.
ft course , American mJety Uau to buot
and costume llcelf appropriately for the
sport.
At a well known falseuse de modes was
seen jcsterday a charming hunting costume
for ono of New York's social leaders. The
dame In question Is described as petite and
blonde , and of a slim grace that Is world
renowned.
The costume comprised a short skirt and
loose double-breasted coat of green cravan-
rtte , with bands of tan leather , The skirt ,
which was ullncd and gored to fit like a
riding habit aero ; * the hips and back , came
just below the knees , Illoomcrs of the same
material gathered to n yoke at the waist
and fulled below the knee over an clastic ,
were to be worn underneath. Various patch-
pockets supplied places for odds and ends In
the jacket , to which the loose back , short
skirt and glgot sleeves gave a very modish
and everyday look.
IN CLOTH AND LEATHER ,
Another hunting costume with a sort of
box coat an Its upper garment , bad a short
skirt laid In big kilt plaits.
This one was of tan waterproof cloth and
like the flrst one It was accompanied by
bloomers and a stitched Alpine hat of the
same material.
With both of these rigs madamc showed
off some fetching adjuncts ; solid belts of
tan leather with all the little pockets for
Individual cartridges ; two dainty bird bags
of yellow chamois and one dashing pair of
Icgglns These were of dressed yellow leather ,
closed like a boot-top and to be pulled on In
the same way. Adjusted on madame's
shapely extremity they were found to
wrinkle slightly but becomingly at the ankle ,
as with a riding boot.
Their leather was of extraordinary light
ness and the Kpace occupied , when they were
rolled up. extremely small.
When asked If any of her hunting cus
tomers ever took to the mannish style of
dress so fashionable In France , ruudauie
shook her 1'cad.
"No. American women do not like to
be conspicuous. Then , so few hunt here ,
jou know ; but Just make believe. They
like the hunting costumes because they arn
coquettish and give them an excuse to have
long , beautiful tramps out of doors. Out
as for killing anything" and madame's
voice sank , "only one woman ever told
me that she had ever killed onj thing , and
that wan a squirrel. I ha\c never liked
her plnce. "
And with this Ibetsonlnn pity foi Inno
cent victims the fashionable abettor of
the murderers went on to other things.
Hut one was left with a sense of relief.
They hunt , but they do not kill !
rOH CAMPING AND CLIMUINU.
For mountain camping out , and sensible
country walking , the skirts of all outing
costumes are short and of a reasonable
narrowness. Sometimes , though the loose
bloomers worn underneath will be varied by
trim , snug Tuieo breeches , nnd a buttoning
of the -sTilrt nt one side of the apron shows
that on occasions thise are meant to brave
the llent Oi clay.
And with all due respect to madame and
society , why not ? In Intimate gatherings
and retired country spots knickers and
other breecliy things come to be offenses.
It Is only In being found out , as It were ,
that the sin comes in ; and if one can onlv
keep them very dark from the rest of the
world and be always squired by a male
relative one little pair of knickers will
give Arcadian Joys.
Think of dropping skirts at one bolt with
only the. birds and other sweet woody
things to sec !
Then such blisses , such easy getting
about , such climbing of trees and such
hanging over perilous places ! These are
the rewards of naughty knlckerdom. which
the skirt , however short , may never know.
Hut no bloomers If you please ! Spare
the unoffending forest these horrors for even
the chipmunks and the bumble bee have
their rights.
A few illustrations shown will give othe
hints for outing costumes which are t
be looked at.
A very pretty little frock of blue and
white checked linen may be used for yacht
Ing. boating and walking. This Is shown
In the model with the blouse bodice , to
which a Norfolk look Is given by a trim
mlng of coarse white linen. This , In bands
likewise appears at the bottom and hip
seams of the skirt , which Is in the conven
tlonal shape , but without lining.
White sailor bat , with blue band , was ]
leather gloves , and blue canvas shoes with
white kid trimmings.
The brown Holland cycle suit and hunt
Ing costumes have already been described
Since the hot weather set In gaiters ar
not popular for cycling. If the high laced ,
boots are not worn the skirt Is long erioug !
to conceal the fact that there are only lov
shoes and silk stockings. For those wh
like them , however , there Is a cycle stock
Ing to Imitate legglns , that sells for 75 cent
per pair. These have a leather stltchlni
and a row of buttons at the outside and
are usually In russet colors.
SHOES AND DAGS.
Other ouilng details Include low shoe
of light calfskin for country walking , sof
tics in many colors and "outing skirts'
much like the manly affair of soft chev
iot cottons , silk and light flannels.
The approved hot weather wheel shoe
Is a low affair of canvas , with a rubbe
sole. These have kid trimmings and when
the color of the costume and tied with ribbons
bens , on a small foot , they can be ver >
fetching ,
A "climbing cane" of stout wood , spiked
with Iron , is a new thing for mountain
use , and some of the outing toilet bags
are dreams of completeness. They are made
of leather , canvas or linen , often light am
small enough to bo carried slung over the
shoulder and sometimes in a round shape
like a music case.
Without this convenience and Its civil
Izlng Instruments the haunts of the drvads
would lose their charm. NINA FITCH ,

A 1'urlHlnii Tiiil CiiiiltMl from
Itllllllll I'llllltlllK.
A simple cell , or tidy twist , a few light
curls or smoothly laid baudaux. no longer
suffice to distinguish the neat bright head of
a well colffured woman. Wonderfully elab
orate designs In hair dressing are coming
so rapidly Into fashion that dealers In arti
ficial cheveture are flourishing like the green
bay tree and to go from house to house ,
dally , dressing feminine tresses , Is again be
coming a paying occupation.
In Paris , of course , they first decide these
things , and In Paris It has been concluded
that the practice shall remain In vogue and
that the most Important effect to be se
cured is still a fluffy pompadour , with loose
gracious twists , cells and curls decorating
the back of the head. In short , these modes
primarily demand that the air shall be
given of one's possessing an unusually
abundant suit of shining wavy locks , and , as
Fashion admits of no excuse on the plea of
lacking the requisite substance , one must
nowadays buy the hair that nature may
Save withheld.
There Is positively no coiffure now de-
ilgned to suit the needa of her with
icanty locks , but If she goes to a truly
xpert hairdresser the defect can te rrorartly
emedleil. Twice across the head , from ear
0 ear.'the locks can bo parted and broadly
.valved on tortoise-shell pins , then down the
Ine of both partings pneumatic tubes will
ie laid. These are strictly end of the cen-
ury contrivances , so closely woven of hair.
; o light and co springy as to nearly re-
iemble sections of a bicycle tire. Once
astencd to the head all the waved portion
s drawn over them , and an airy abundant
ooklng pompadour Is so perfectly slmu-
ated as to decehe the sharpest eyes.
A HAIRDRESSER'S ADVICE.
"If a poorly thatched head won't supply
iu > tblng over and above the covering for
1 pneumatic pompadour , " explained an exert -
> ert coiffure who
, obligingly revealed kome
if the fecretn nf her profession , "we build
ip thy rear effect entirely with borrowed
remi. No i niblo woman now object *
lo using any amount of them. For example ,
I Insert another little pneumatic tube at
the back , to build over It a silky switch ,
Into an ever popular handle cell , for that
Is the smartest morning arrangement and
the tips of the switch are feathered out
Into careless light tendrils , to fall on the
neck and simulate what are called widow's
ringlets.
"Every part of a head so arranged , " she
continued , "Is safely held In place by small
twisted tortoise shell pins , and no hat can
crush or dampness subdue the crisp beauty
of these waves , cells and fringes. Perhaps
you will scarcely believe It , but dozens of
women snip out much of their own abun
dant hair to use the pneumatic tubes en
tirely , though nothing Is really more fash
ionable than a ponderous length of tress ,
provided It Is the right color dead leaf
brown and ash blonde arc the shades most
ardently admired , and with these every
coiffure Is built on a made foundation. Here
Is the newest tortoise shell hair mount. It
Is a hinged comb , perfectly plain , or. It you
like , of what Is called black shell , crystal
lized with diamonds.
"Into the center I gather and fasten all
a fashion that has almost wholly put a
stop to extravagant " .L " > !
A Wlsconftlii AVomnnrSVJjo In n Crnclc
SluHl-Sl :
Raised In Wisconsin ami the constant
companion of venturesomjj brothers and
cousins , It Is not to be wondered at that
Mrs. Mary Whlpple , well known to many
hunters In the Uadger and other neighborIng -
Ing states , should have Imbibed n strong
love for the rod and S.un . _ Neither Is It
strange that the man ofjrfchoice ) should
have similar tastes. Mr. and Mrs. Whlpple
have had numerous hunting trips In the
region contiguous lo their Wisconsin home.
Once when on a trip In .Michigan she and
another female member of the party wan
dered away from the res't. Suddenly they
heard a rustling among the leaves. They
crouched behind a tree and In a moment
or two a splendid deer came within range.
Both the women let fly and the deer fell
dead. That was Mrs. Whlpplc's first deer
and never since has she experienced the
same thrill of delight , though many other
deer and several wildcats have been brought
down by her rifle. Her great ambition Is to
kill a bear. She expected to go on a hunt
Ing expedition In Arkansas last winter.
where she would have a chance to kill some
thing more ferocious than a deer , but never
got any further down the river than St.
Louis.
It was n. year ago this July that she and
her husband , with a party of four others ,
started from St. Paul , Minn. , to go down
feet and she has no more nerves than a
cowNow. . In all falrncsK , ls this A woman to be
frightened by a mouscT
No. 2 was the nurse. Sht Is a woman of
40 years of age. plump , healthy nd of aver
age size and strength. A lady by birth and
education. Drought up In the country , t'n-
married.
Is this the woman lo go through the tradi
tional performances of the sex at the sight
of a mouse ?
No. 3 In the kitchen was Dick , Dick Is
just 2VJ years old. Has heard mice squeakIng -
Ing In the pantry once or twice In the course
of his short carter , and once he saw one. So
he has a very good Idea of what the word
mouse means. And he Is a man at least ,
he Is not a woman ,
Now Is not this baby , hardly out of his
long dresses , the one of the three to be
frightened at a mouse ?
Well , the mouse appeared. The big cook
was in the pantry off the kitchen. She
moved a box on the shelf and the mouse
lumped down on the floor Whereupon that
six feet of muscle and femininity shrieked ,
fled to the kitchen , got up In a chair and
gathered her skirts around her after the
fashion of all women ever since Eve replaced
her flg leaf with something more velum
inous.
What a picture ! Can the Imagination con
ceive anything on earth more ridiculous
than the sight of ihat tremendous woman
In a panic at the sight of n tiny creature
absolutely harmless , whose one object In
life , aside from filling Its stomach , Is to
keep out of sight and reach of human be
ings and cats ?
Of course , when the cook veiled "mouse"
and fled to a chair the nurse was also
thrown Into a panic. What did she do-
grasp a broom , catch up her baby and pre
pare to sell her life dearly ? Not at all
She did simply what nature seems to have

the fashion , set by Princess Maud of Wales ,
to fasten a red and white pomegranlte
flower , or a scarlet and white carnation.
That Is a proper dancing headdress for
young women , while their mammas , with
snow white hair , wear their false tresses

by gold combs , set with turquoise. Strictly
In the top of a snowy head we plant a tall ,

"Pale blue with the cotton white locks Is
considered excessively modish and always
one twist of the snowy hair Is carried high
on the crown In a coque , " affirmed the ex- ]
pert. "So extensive a capillary edifice Is
erected on a round frame , shaped like a
big , flat ring cooky. This Is covered with

up that river to the bear fields In Arkansas.
After Killing off several bears In that state
she expected to continue down the Mlsblb-
sippi to New Orleans , there to spend the
winter , and In the sprint ; to be towed by a
fcUamer back to St. Paul. After leaving
St. Paul last July they took It very leisurely ,
enjoying the fine views along the way , stop
ping at some pretty woodwl spot for dinner
or breakfast , and spcndlntfia day picnicking
in some delightful place , stopping to gather
nuts and making a prolonged picnic of the
entire trip. In this way they traveled down
the river from St Paul to St. Louis in their
spacious and comfortable houseboat , not
reaching St. Louis until last November , and
there they remain. lUut.lln the fall Mrs.
Whlpple hopes to carry ov' their original
plan of continuing on'to Arkansas to hunt
the bear , and from tliencei to New Orleans
to spend the winter.rjrt
In appearance Mrs. Wblpple Is not at all
bloodthirsty. On the 'contrary , she has a
very kindly expression. . .Her ejes are full
and blue , with a keen | iunl r's gaze In them
and a merry twinkle. , . Her complexion is

Ing she pleases.
"Out all of these Inventions have swept
the tucking comb out of fashion. Long
Jewel-headed pins are taking their place.
Where the entire length of hair Is flrsl'un-
dcrlled and then half negligently drawn Into
a tall coque on the tip top of the head , a
dozen quaint costly pins are thrust Into the
wavy puffings. At Newport this Botticelli
bnndaux will glitter often with the plus
representing jeweled lizards , crutches , grey
hounds , champagne battles , boars' heads and
conical sea shells , and every band , above a
young face , U but a delicate feathering of
tiny curls , "
Out on the golf links , riding , yachting
or cycling , a very different theory of hairdressing -
dressing is now followed. The golfing girl
either brushes her bangs out of sight or
unblusblngly pins what the calls an "outing
Fringe" juct Inside the crown of her sailor
hat. Up the back of her head the hair Is
rolled up In three large puffs , extending
from the nape of her neck to the bat brim ,
and lying either perpendicularly or hori
zontally on the bead. If she has too little
lair of her own to construct such puffs che
> uys three already mounted and calmly
pins them In place. They , too , are pneu-
natlc puffs , but built over actual air tubes
of thin rubber and not on cylinders of
springy hair. When the air filters out of
bcse rubber tubes they are easily blown
ip by the lips and are , I assure you , far
ess hot and weighty than puffs of one's
own hair. However , with all Its advan-
ages of hiding natural Inadequacy of chev
eture , of so perfectly simulating the real
ress and easily falling into almost any ar
rangement , artificial hair has one serious
drawback It will Invariably fade. The
mre white hair eventually turns an ugly
emon tint , red hair turns a dead , dusty
brown , golden tints wither , and brown cells
and fringes actually grow gray. No means
s yet known of preserving U soft and
glossy , so that there Is no more costly mod-
ru fancy than this for artificial coiffures
bright and her hair brown. She Is a little
above the medium height and of a pleasing
figure. _ _ _

These reflections are caused by an Incident
In a kitchen in a South Side houce , relates
the Chicago Tribune. The incident is valu
able because of the amoun'l o ; man nature
and woman nature It brn. | v nut. Some
times little things like this In real life
ouUrgue all arguments.
It was a large kitchen. There were three
people In it. No. 1 was the presiding genius
of the room , the cook. Now , this cook Is not
an ordinary cook. In many respects she Is
different from the type of servant called up
to the mind by the " "
word "cook. She Is
almost 40 years of age. She Is a married
woman who has two children. She has bad
troubles and has borne them with philoso

has some education. So inuph for her mental

The oldest woman publisher in the world
Is Mrs. Charlotte Fowler Wells of Boston
Since the death of her husband , about
twenty vears ago , Mrs. Wells has been th <
guiding spirit of the well known phrenolog
ical firm of Fowler & Wells , and since the
incorporation of the company , in 1SS4 , 1U
president ; notwithstanding her 84 vears ,
fhe still attends to many duties and keeps
her desk at the publishing house.
Mrs. Wells Is a charming old lady with
snow white hair .and a bright , happy face
An Indispensable adjunct to her drees Is a
black silk apron , of the same cut fashiona
ble In her vouth. Over her desk Is a bust of
Spurzhelm , through whose lectures In this
country she became Interested In phren
ology.
"I have had my hands on the heads of
many perrons of note. " Mrs. Wells said u
few da > s ago. "I began to study heads In
1S32 , when Dr. Spurzht-lm was lecturing In
Boston , having become Interested In phre
nology by reading kometblng written by Mrs.
Sara Jobepha Hale , who published 'The
Ladles' Magazine. ' Mrs. Hale knew Dr
Spurzhelm and was enthusiastic about the
fetudy of heads I had no teacher but a
phrenological bust and a small pamphlet
and the heads of my little brothers and sis
ters to compare with a marked chart. Phre
nology at that time was such a novelty that
everbody wanted Us or her head examined
and although I protested that I was only a
learner m > Felf. all my friends and acquaint
ances begged me to examine their heads. "
Mrn. Wells began to publish books and
pamphlets on the subject of phrenology in
1837 ; she Is therefore the oldest woman pub
lisher living , as well as the pioneer woman
in the phrenological field. The science so
Interested her brothers as to determine them
to devote their lives to Its promulgation
and thus the famous firm was formed. Mr
Wells became a member and afterward mar
ried the feminine partner
Nearly her entire life Mrs. Wells has de
voted to the advancement of the phrenolog
ical cause , contributing by her intelligence ,
courage , enthusiasm and rare activity to Its
extension In all parts of the civilized world.
Among distinguished people whose heads
have been examined by Mrs. Wells were
Horace Greeley , Jay Gould , Harriet needier
Stowe , Fanny Wright , the flrst woman's
rights agitator , and Pere Hvaclntbe.
She was also able to show them their
talents and defects , and how to make t In
most of life. Mrs. Wells believes that
phrenology Is one of the most useful , In
deed "the most useful , " of all modern dis
coveries , for while others enhance creature
comforts mainly , this science teaches life
and Its laws ; it shows parents , co Mrs.
Wells will tell jou , for what occupation In
life their children are best adapted , and In
MRS. C. P. WELLS ,
which they can and cannot be successful
and happy ; It alto teaches us our own
selves , our faults and how to obviate them ;
our excellences end how to make the most
of them. If your head U broad , vou are

fancy , nnd lace pins , brooches , buckles and

depths of tone combine well , and , this being
a purple season , that fact Is taken full ad
vantage ot In many wajs. Green , too. Is
very fashionable , and green and purple also
form n pleasing combination.
Foulard Is Increasing In favor and prob
ably by next summer It will be universally
worn , although "as jet little of It Is seen.

and all sorts of white accessories.
The high crowned straw hats , much like a
brigand's head covering , nre the latest favor
ites , and are a fit accompaniment of the lawn
dresses so much In evidence. White hats
with pink roses and white ostrich feathers
seem very popular , and cornflowers with
wheat ears and pretty grasses arc used In
combinations as trimmings.
A simple grass linen gown Is made up
over pale Russian blue. It Is perfectly plain
and very transparent. The sole trimming
Is the embroidered pointed girdle and the
bands that hold the full blouse back at the
shoulders , leaving a plain blue vest of the
silk exposed. The collar and large bow are
of the same blue. The toque Is blue and
trimmed with grasses.
A stylish tailor-made gown that will do
good seVvlce all through the autumn IB
made of dark violet faced cloth. The full
skirt is cut in the prevailing fashion and
trimmed at the foot with narrow bands of
black satin edged with violet and bilver
cord , which Is finished In loops and sewn
on so as to simulate square tabs.
Now that hats are tipped forward over
the face the hair Is dressed higher , which
leaves room for more decoration at the
back of the neck. Most ceremonious dresses
bave elaborate collars of wired frills or
some other style that remains upright. There
Is the flaring Tudor collar , with tabs that
curb over , the Inside being of contrasting
material , and a newer Idea Is an adaptation
of the historic Napoleon collar.
One of the new yokes on summer gowns
Is called the jabot yoke. It Is made to fit
around the neck like the ordinary sort , and
It Is also taken In with the shoulder seams ,
On each side of the collar Is a narrow box-
pleat , and this descends and widens to the
lower edge of the yoke , which on other
waists In this style Is generally hidden be
neath the chirred top of the full waist
Ijelow , On the new yoke , however , this
lower edge Is left to fall In Jabot fashion ,
In and out , and Is edged variously with rib
bon , Insertion , or narrow lace.
