land, the ltoyal College of \ etermary
Surgeons refuses to grant her a certifi
cate until the courts have decided it

WHITE COTTON GROVES POR BICY¬
CLING.
Whitc cotton gloves, so’tin said, are
to bo fashionable with bicycle gowns
this season. This is also a Parisian
fancy, and has its good points, for the
gloves can be washed many times, but
it is doubtful if the. women on this
siilo of the water will prefer them to
the suede and chamois. Many good
riders pr< ter even in the hottest
to wear a heavy riding glove of kid,
contending that it is better for the
hands.

THE BRACELET BACK AGAIN.
Tlio bracelet is back again in fash
ipmible favor, but it is entirely unlike
the bracelet of twenty years ago.
Many beautiful designs are shown.
(Hie latest is a very narrow, flexible
gold band, which represents either a
fine cord or a loosely braided strand.
From this a jewel is suspended. Some¬
times it is a pendant of gems or a
jewel-studded heart, and then again
each end of the bracelet is finished
with a gem, and is hold to the arm by o‘f
» ring clasp. No stiff bracelets
heavy gold are worn. A bracelet
much in vogue is a flexible affair made
of square-shaped diamonds connected
by any bright-colored small jewels,
Diamonds ami sapphires are most ef
feetivo arranged in this fashion. One
of the most beautiful of these brace
lets is made of rose diamonds set in
platinum, with two stones in each set¬
ting, so* that whether worn inside or
out, the bracelet looks just the same.

THE BICYCLE TEA.
Extremely informal is the bieyle tea

own innings
i «... i«C RISC Is offcf to re
to go out of town at that season. But
now is the time to return such hos
pitalities. • The hostess decides upon
a day and dispatches her visiting cards
with “Bicycle Tea” written or printed
upon them in one corner, together with
the date and honr decided upon.
Fire o’clock is a good time; an earl
ier hour would be too soon for the
comfort of the guests,
If the day is fine try and have the
tables for refreshments set out of
doors, if possible under shady trees;
but if this is not feasible, upon the
pi azza . The guests go indoors to re
fresh their toilets, remove a veil or
on fresh gloves, but they do not ex
pect t 0 be entertained there.
The upstairs dressing room is all
that is necessary. If the weather is
tine the guests will not enter the par
lor, but come straight downstairs out
of doors. You can safely rob the par
lor of its rugs, easy chairs and potted
plants, if you have not enough other
wise to dress your porch.
Have small tables conveniently
placed. Your easy chairs will be ap
preeiated now, and your hardseated
splint or porch rockers will be more
comfortable if you set soft cushions on
the seats.
Have plenty of ice; it is the chief
necessity, for if it is at all warm your
guests will be thirsty. Lemonade,
iced tea, apollinaris are delicious to
thirsty throats.
Lettuce sandwiches, cocked fiats

“Bicycle Tea” with the exception of

SMART OUTING COSTUMES.
Some of the smartest outing cos¬
tumes shown are of linen duck and
pique. A stylish and novel combina¬
tion to prove that red will be worn
the summer through is exhibited by a
leading importer. The plain gored
skirt of white pique is worn with a
well-fitted Eton jacket of the same
material in red and a blue waist, com¬
bining red and white, in striped wash
silk. The whole effect is at onee
daring and eminently smart. and pique

elegant as thev are delightfully
Blouses for wear with the Eton
jackets and blazers are of wash silk, of
lawn and of organdy. For the most
part they are simply tucked or gath
eved. Few frills are seen, and the
linen stock collar is the almost uni
versal rule.
For cycling and golf, many light¬
weight tweeds are worn, and the ma¬
terial is preferred by many riders as
being less susceptible to soil, but
the luxury of a linen or duck skirt on
a July day is not to be gainsaid, \ The
crash has the added merit of being ex
tremely inexpensive and of enduring
all sorts of usage exceedingly well. A
newer material, known as “crispine,
is stylish and cool Its price is only
U cents a yard, and it has a certain
quality of crispiness that is much
liked by some; but no cotton stuff can
be trusted to wear as will that made
from flax.—Chicago Record,
