en iO FOR THE FAIR Some Items of Interest on Femin¬ ine Topics. Wants to be a Horse Poctor White Cotton Cloves for Bicycling, Etc., Etc, WANTS TO BE A HORSE DOCTOR. A woman having passed an examin ation in v, -ten nary■surgery in Lng land, the ltoyal College of \ etermary Surgeons refuses to grant her a certifi cate until the courts have decided it ie legal for women to be horse doctors. She is a Scotch woman and a graduate of a Scotch college. 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.

Unless con fined to her bed by illness, the Empress is invariably up by fi o’clock every morning, and 8 o'clock finds her pour¬ ing tint the Emperor’s coffee, This meal their majesties always take en¬ tirely alone, serving each other, ami gossiping together like any middle class couple. A I* A Tit I OTIC MOVEMENT. The Association of American Women for tjio Presentation of a Statue of Waflbiugton to France, which lias been in existence for nine yearn, was in¬ corporated and organized last Hearsfc, week in at the home of Mrs. George Washington. “It is the purpose of the ladies,” says the Baltimore Bun, “to give an order to Daniel French, the well-known American sculptor, for an equestrian statue of Washington in bronze, to bo completed in time for erection entimutf ,t , fCmVi ' « „ , has already been raised. ** 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. GIVING AWAY BRIDES. “In addition to our business of let ting our wedding dresses on hire," hudJ “stumers n member of a well-known firm of in the west central district of London, “ive often perform our Utaeservues for the bride. i 0U .’, f lour " e » recoguue the that in . tins great city there ate seoies of >arilworking girl« wh<• • e.miles W always been too busy' t'o cultivate girls many friends.

Extremely informal is the bieyle tea The families who live in the suburbs who have been coming in town all win ter to entertainments now have their 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 ' ,\ do Ior ub jtt lroffle lu , Htantials. Ice cream, crackers and dainty cakes (“sand tarts” are favor ites) complete the bill of fare for the “Bicycle Tea” with the exception of the two hot fluids—tea and chocolate, —Orleans Picayune. 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 All the crash, heavy linen smts are made in tailor style and severel J finished. Even the braid 8ee “°“ cloth costumes has so fai been omitted. I nils and furbdows are ui abundance upon thin ■ ■ 1 ' V 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, MME.

All silver belts are much in vogue wi^he summer girl. •i^ver were there such decided col¬ ors in parasols. Vivid greens and pugilistic magentas are very much in vogue. An Eton jacket with points and a single button over the bust is one of the popular styles, The woman who ties ribbon into the hall( rt« bftra 0 f of her bicycle is of the saul( , type of f em inine who puts a gay mtle bow on her whip, w#ar blol lid'Jver _ nits of Wide'tn mb collars and culls are trimmed [ongifcailor A'fimy’s knickerbocker with suit has wide, a blouse, a very gq^Ae Laid; collar.

Qbesl nut brown is reckoned among qje stylish colors, with sapphire oi turquoh ;e-blue trimmings or scrolls ol beige-colored cloth, edged with gold braid, Purplish blue and lavender are favor shades.
