sentimentalities of other days

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

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

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

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.
