The feminine sentimentalities of other days nay affect her folderols for smart wear, but whfn It comes to roughing totes sh breathes a boyish end up-to-date quality ven more captivating. Just at this moment the woods are full of utlng girls, brown, athletic and deUciously correct in get-up. Every epecies of outdoor exercise Is recgnhjed In pamrnig coM rimes, arid If the spot Is sufficiently remote from conventions, a wool sweater and a short skirt may do duty fur all. With thin skirt no petticoat are ever worn. Knicker bockers In some lightweight texture, matching- In color, are Invariably the un tergarment. and If they are sometimes seen n a steep bill without the aklrt, no round eyes are made. In fact. In the mountains knickerbockers are considered by many to be the only safe limbing costume, while the divided skirt, Wfilch permlls riding; astride. Is the favorite ne for horseback. The thins;, as any of these sunburned Rosalinda will tell you, Is to be unhampered by your clothes; and if you hear of a grrl coming to grief at some teep point, nine times out of ten it la laid to the impediment of petticoats. ' A fnultleaw cut and severe tailor finish distinguish the bent of these outing; things, twit if the garment is an Imported one it tnay take to some frivolous little freak or ther. For example, for rough weather driving; there are loose rubber mats In pure white, which nre dashing when their clumsy and Inelegant texture is considered. ' These are, f Kngllsh manufacture, but they are matched by mastic cloth riding coats from tk French market, which alt a horse's back with indescribable ease. The driving; coats generally have a JNorfolk belt ar rangement at the back, but the etraeetrlan ones, which are slit high up at the aide, bang loose there. Tk riding coats seem to the uninitiated much too long for oomfort, but they ore est in a way to Inntiro fexse and are swag ger in effect. Covering shirtwaists In wash materials, these coats are worn by girls who ape French styles with tall silk hta. Other equestriennes sport the English derby or straw or patent leather sailors or oft felt alplnes. with the skirt abort enough to show the tip of the boot, and the wash leather gauntlets made without fastening. In the western mountains all rough riding 1 done as a matter of course In divided aklrt a, but the close body which usually accompanies such hnblts may bo replaced by a woot sweater or flannel shirtwaist. ' High boots, and canvas tops arc liked by mnny for hot weather wear, and plain or twilled cloths In dust tints are favorite materials. A divided skirt habit recently turned out tor mountain wear Is of durk blue covert with black stitching. The tlght-flttlng body, which Is cut without skirts, Is worn WIth a white linen chemisette with stiff dollar. A white felt alpine and white wash leather gloves are details for such a cos tume. Hand In hand with this delightfully com fortable get-up go divided aklrt suits for foot climbing, some having the division, only at the back, where a cunning arm a ce ment of pleats disguises the ugliness en tirely, and at the front the apron gore buttons trimly at two aide plackets. Reefer coats in various simple cuts accompany these trim little skirts with plain cloths and English and Bcotch tweeds for favorite nmterluls. "Apropos of these short suits." a girl summering In the mountains writes to nn inquiring friend, "Don't come up if you ex pect to do the frill and furbelow, for the rough and tumble is tho thing In these mount In dinging. At all of the swagger camps the wardrobe is prescribed one floor-length evening fr.uk. one knee-length day one, volla tout! And If the girl Is really smart she wears the knee-length all the time, with, a ehange of .shoes and perhaps a flower in her hair when the dance conies on." Fine advice truly if the world had the courage to tallow it. but so many striking things nre offered far outing wear that the lieart premeditating aensiUlltiea foils not once but many times. To tbe makers and dttvlara of theee frulta of Eden, every sport la celebrated by individual cuts and materials, and you must cot wear anything outside of ita proper dominion. Neverthe less, as baa keen demonstrated, the world beat en healthy pleasuring drop rules) and regulations onoa Uie city la left behind, and a becoming get-up ef any sort may fcald Ita ewa at any garnering. much la fro and eaay costuming the order of mountain life that even at the fcotela fine dressing is In a great measure left to the chaperonm. Tho younger gen eration, and especially young women of athterte prodlvltlee, go all dny In short skirt suits, which. If they are not exactly knee-length, are often not a great deal longer. If fashioned for golf, a Skirt and shirtwaist or sweater usually compose the costume, with a gaily tinted necktie and perhaps flaming red stockings to set It off. Double faced golf cloth la used almost ex clusively for these skirts, the majority of which fall just above the ankles and flare well at the bottom. By way of -wrap for them the summer girt frequently tops a thin shirt with a red, white or blue woven wool sweater, which hang negligently open at the front and yet produces a stylish appearance. These COSTUMES OF WATERPROOF FO sweaters, which nave reached a point done to perfection in make, are much used for outing service. Naturally, they adapt themselves to the figure, and because of this and their warmth and general com fort at least one la necessary for every mountain wardrobe. Another garment equally useful may be made of ahower-proof doth, which has coma to be recognised as a necessity in the fashion world, and especially for autumn use. Rain coats are not the only things made of these waterproof materials. Entire automobile and driving costumes are seen in the checked varieties, even to the helmet-hood for the heed, and there are rainproof fishing suits, city walking gowns, etc. A fishing dress ordered by a wel!-known demoiselle in the high walks of life ia of gray and black waterproof. The coat sleeves of the close waist display a con servative smullnexn, for any degree of pic tureaquenesa at this point is not consid ered ajood taste with sporting wear. A green leather belt and a green trtlk crown band for the white felt alpine are pre scribed fishing touches. But to come to the main points with out ing c!othes la general, and seueible moun tain ones In particular, pliable wools that stand weap and tear while assuring both warmth and lightness are the best mater ials. The ooat and aklrt gowna are mere useful than the ahlrt walat ones, for many persona consider a warm flannel wait all that la necessary tor chilly occasions, and there should be light wool corset covers t put en aa the weather requires. Different sorts of footgear are also necej- t tic; imW&k J K wMwm Mb iff A Jmffim' sary for a comfortable summer. One pair of stont boots with legging tops should b provided; several pairs of low- shoes, some of leather and soma of canvas with rubber soles, and at least one pair of bare foot sandals. The comfort of the sandals should not be abused, or else the feet will spread beyond recall, for the Intention of the sandal is to give the foot absolute free dom. For this reason they should only be Worn when the feet are in need of entire rent after a bard day of fishing or climb ing. Leaving the needs of the athletic maid for a brief moment, it la pleasing to see that most mountain clothes tend more to ward comfort than to elegance. Except at the places where dressing is the chief entertainment, the usual gown la short aa to skirt and coay ts to texture. Heavy R HILL CLIMBING AND DRIVING. mountaJn dewa and sudden chills call for such durable textures aa serge, flannel and tweed. These materials. In slml'ar patterns aAd colors also appear In tbe cos tumes of children. A number of pretty dresses for practical Wear are made of black and white checked wool, which high girdles of scarlet or bright greea vary charmingly. These will be seen quite late in the autumn, their textures and colorings permitting their being carried over into this season. Such coatumea for children are stylish when topped by scarlet flannel coats, gay with brass buttons and surmounted in turn by black patent leather sailors. For elegant hotel asrvlce white cloth gowns are approved, some showing touches of narrow braid, others lines of black or white soutache. With the heavy linen gowna also worn at these place red Rus sian embroideries are aometlmes effective trimmings, these richly setting off frocks In deep blues er pure white. - Beits, cuffs and veata are made In this bandaome cross stitch, which on a while frock: Is some times freakishly blue, violet or yellow. But to be really Ruaataa embroidery, the cross stitch should be done In red or else In red and blue. Bmnrt mountain mil finery leaves the blossoms of town and country aside to a great extent The most effective of the bats now being turned out for such use run largely to wide rlbbona or velvets, put on In big be a, with sometimes a rich red and blue contrasting. A straw brim shape of detp red has a large red bow flanked at the back with a large blue one. This double butterfly was placed straight across the front of the hat. an edge of blue under the wide brim giving raise n d'etre to the odd combination. Another thing noticed ht that tbe moun tain dowager is much given to that time honored material, black silk, for the best bib and tucker. Black peau de sole and satin do Lyon gowna are seen on every aide, aa if the solemn and eternal bills for bade more foolish and modern materials. Fichus of net and ribbon and lace collars varying in depths and elaborateness give those for evening dressy use a stylieh look and when these are left oft along with sundry conceits in ondersleeves and sleeve ruffles why the gown Is another tbfag, of course. MART DBUN. -" Tips from aTaaatieHa's Ttote Book. Kodisb silks are of the soft, rich variety. Soft old rose shades are gaining steadily to favor. Sleeves show an increasing fullness above the elbow. Stocks of etanrlne are trimmed with Ara bian braid and siik buttons. A variation of brown likely to be popular In the fail Is termed leather color. Aoto coats fashioned from white flannel are trimmed with Arabian braid. Hosiery worn with tan shoes should match the shade of leather exactly. The approved summer wrap Is on the mantilla order, with long stole ends. Moire antique is to bo restored to favor, both for trimming purposes and gowns. Supple fabrics will take the lead for street costumes during the coming winter. Bonnas embroidery will figure on the simpler styles of tailored hats for autumn. Purple, particularly in its softer shad ings, will be much in evidence in tbe early fail. Newest shapes In corsets are not quite so box-like as those in vogue for the past few years. High draped belts of taffeta, loulslne and liberty silk are worn with fetching summer gowns. Ostrich feathers win reign sunreme for hat trimming and prince of Wales tips Will be revived. The high crowned velvet hat, according to Parinian advicea, will be tbe leader tor tall and winter. Round broad brimmed felt hats are seen In champagne shade, with a single quill for ornamentation. An extreme Parisian fancy Is the Wearing of a short, semi-loose crimson Jacket with a white costumet. Modes of the time of Louis XVI and the directory will be the prevailing ones dur ing the coming season. Burnt orange is a favorite tint for trim ming purposes and black and blue is a fre quently seen combination. Bebe hats of embroidery are trimmed with fruit such as peaches and cherries and foliage in natural colors. An artistic table centerpiece is cut out of White linen In the form of three pond lilies. The edges of the- flowers are em broidered with pale green silk, shading to white in places. The centers show the rich golden stamens of the lily, embroidered In shaded yellow silk. Tbe flowers are grouped naturally and the green stems are graco fuly entwined. A SKTN OP BEAUTY 18 A JOY POgPVgg. TB. T.
