Point
When “the horn of the hunter" Is heard
on the Wheatly Hills of Long Island, the
gentle lady goes forth to kill In togs that
show her determination to be In at the
death. No useless frills hamper her speed
on the horse Severity is the chief feat
nse of her rldfng habit, though sometimes
the eternal fen nine gets the best of a
horsewoman, and Instead of a conven
tional suit, she wears something a bit gay
In color. A riding habit designed In
Vienna, for example, has a bright rod
waistcoat and a full Jabot of white lace.
Mrs. Charles Goodwin Bennett (the wife
of the Secretary of the Senate), who hunts
with the Meadow Brook Club, on Long
Is’cnd wears a cloth riding suit that Is
almost hebe bine In color, and a small
round hat of the some sweet shade. The
severity of the Mendow Brook modrd hte
however, one of Its chief charnetwlstto*
The Meadow Brook riding habit is cut with
n deep dip In front, has a seml-fltted hack,
la single breasted and fastened with five
Ivory black buttons. The sleeves are omall
and Just like the sleeves on the coat of a
mnn. Hats of all sorts, however, may be
worn. Mrs. Pierce goes over the fences
with a soft wide brim flying fllpplty-flnp.
and no matter how much hair the hunta
woman may have of the son that Is really
rooted, she -omehow braids It Into a inrd
lltti- knot, ringing In sire from a butter
plate to a tea biscuit or from a push but
ton to a door knob. Mrs. Reginald Brooks
and Miss Nornh Langhorne are among the
women who wear silk hats for hunting.
One of the new rising coats has the
rovers broadened Into great width and faced
with satin : the collar Is flnt and narrow,
while below the revers the garment Is fast*
ened in double-breasted style and then cut
away Into sloping sides and a long-tall lack.
This style ts considered too extreme from a
habit point of view—one might say, from a
point of view that hns become a habit on
account of the rules laid down at Meadow
Brook and obeyed throughout this country.
There Is a long coat (see Illustration A)
designed especially to he worn with riding
trousers for cross-saddle riding. The coat
Is stashed tn back and on each side of the
sadd e It falls gracefully when the lady ts
mounted, concealing the bifurcated garment
below, but revealing the soldierly riding
boots It Is close fitting and meant only
for the woman who Is noble planned. For
women slim of figure the divided skirt with
a pony coat la advlaed.
At Tuxedo the girls who are made no
principally of blue blond and hones look ex
ceedingly droll on horseback. Until the
weather Is very cool they prefer suPs of
linen and pure white They wear large,
broad-brimmed sailor hats with their habits,
and at the horse show, when four or five
are tn the ring, the animals look as though
umbrellas emerged from the middle of their
backs The wide, flat sailor and the rllm.
rod like figure give a strange effect. Mrs.
J E. Davts (Moille Maxwell), who wears
a hlaek derhy with a blaek suit, and Mrs
Robert L. Gerry ICometta flarrlmnn), who
often wears a suit ot gunmetal gray, are
two of the best looking girts seen on horse
back In this country lately on the Conti
nent—ln Parts and Vienna—there has been
«n effort among the tailors to pnrsnade
Americans to adopt gorgeous riding habits.

worn In Southern France and Italy. But
Imagine the Mendow Brook women arrayed
In thla fashion when In pursuit of the fox !
It would be quite as exciting as the circus
pnrade. The country boy would shout “Hur

peering to see the hoop-la lady, with her
fluffy ballet skirt, standing tip toe on the
horse s back, bringing op the rear.
And now for the girl with the sahre ! "On

though no animal is brought Into the ring.
When there ls a bout between the ladles’
fencing club of Philadelphia and that of
New York, the girls of the visiting team
wear white canvas lackets with skirts of
black velvet. The home team, of New
York, which In the last contest Included
Miss Adelaide Ray Us. Miss Margaret Stlm
son and Miss Isabelle Dick, wear sulta of
all white. The front row of chairs, re
served for the guests of honor. Is called the
firing line, and here Cupid often finds
hearts that are worthy of his arrow. Then
he swings around and. all unmindful of
the red heart sewed on the fencing girl’s
Jacket, sends an arrow Into the cardiac
organ below.
For the gin with the pistol, who shoots
live pigeons, no clothes that are especi
ally attractive have been designed. The
sport for a woman Is considered odious,
and often If she practises this accomplish
ment. she may be socially ostracized. No
matter how skilfully she dresses to kill,
she brings down only the pigeons, for
Cupid frowns and scampers away. For
pheasant shoots such as those g! en at
Shelburne Farms, Vt., by Dr. W. Seward
Webb, there Is special social license. No
one is criticized or ostracized, though tha
pheasants at the end of the shoot lie in
a great bill, with their gorgeous plumage
in a motley mass. Even the woman afraid
of a firecracker will shoulder a gun to
attend n peasant shoot—for Mrs. Webb
