In yellow oil skins the girl with the red gold hair la certainly fetching—both pro posal and fish come her way. Eel fishing la a favorite aport at Shelter Island, which Ls situated between tbe two claw- Uke peninsulars that make the eastern end of Long Island. After dinner, unllka the Plana of the Adirondack*, the Shelter Island September girl scampers up to her bedroom and changes her fluffy frock for a shirt waist and a short skirt. With lanterns and spears, the Autumn girls and their delighted escorta (with anticipation of the hilarity to come), go forth to kill the eei. When squeals rend the air. the eels sre tn the bottom of the host, but the country folks aud tbe cottage folks ood delightful sense of camaraderie, which, be cause of Its novelty, ls Irresistible ta the Britisher. Considering how great the Englishman’s admiration ls for the fair American, bow many facilities are given him f>r seeing much of her, and how much pleasure ue shows In her society. It Is strange that so few marriages take placa between the tn.ddla classes of both countries. Many of our business men spend son,# years In tba United Ststea. many live there entirely, but all come home for an Kuglish bride. Actors ar* constantly sent over there ta play tn American companies, yet the actors who have married American# could be easily counted on oue band, and they have tbs reputation of be tug very snsoep tibia. Perhaps the best solution to the riddle was recently glvon by *u Englishman, who returned Uom« after urn years U) New lock. over their knitting or over their bridge, for the squeals raenn ouly eels, though the shrieks of terror are carried across the harbor and out to the ocean to Muutauk 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. My ot green velvet and gold, like those 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 rah!” and would peer down the road ex 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 guard I” cries the master of ceremonies. “Me, too," says Cupid, dancing about wife s skip and a hop—as Invisible as a Tinker Bell, but Just as capable Often at tbe Ladles' Fencing Club on Fifth avenue.

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 was born a Vanderbilt. Prestige, not pheasants, la what the social climber eager ly desires.
