The favorite of the hour is the redingote. It is the most graceful of garments when properly made, and the most tantalizing if hung awry, as nine-tenths of them are. Everybody knows Mrs. Cleveland’s fond- ness for browns, and will remember the brown cloth gown and little brown toque she wore so much last season. She has an elegant new brown gown now, made by a celebrated New York modiste. It 1s of seal brown cloth in redingote style, lined with dark brown satin and bordered with seal- skin. The bonnet to go with this is not much of a departure from the one of last season. An elegant example of a redingote gown is found in a purple cloth made with long plaited panels of satin the same shade set in every gore and reaching well up to the waist line. The front is of two shades of purple brocade satin, and a ‘ruching of the satin borders, both sides and extends around the neck. The sleeves have plaits from the shoulder, and are stitched down about six inches to where the flare of the puff begins. ss Poetry and Brain Work.

PLEASURE AND HEALTH Some of the Prominent Society People Who Ride the Bike. THE PROPER COSTUME T HERE 15S NO MIS- taking the hold the bicycle has on Wash- ington women. The wheel has come to stay. The sport is no mere passing fad or fancy. It means emancipation from too many old-time ideas. All women are new women now lays, whether they admit it or not. All of them are exhibit- Ing some iendency, more or less marked, to g0 it alone, and whether this is best for the next generation is an unanswered problem. Those who live long enough can see for themselves. A representative of The Star talked with a dozen or two authorities, men and women, mostly women, recently, to find out how the wheel and all the ad- vanced theories were agreeing with them individually, and what they were doing to push them along. The following reflections on wheel clothes, and therefore dress re- form, the benefits in health and physical energy and the stand alone attitude of the feminine world are the outcome of these talks. Changes in Clothes. The wheel has achieved some reforms or revolutions, rather,of custom and sentiment, that years and years of agitation signally failed in doing. There is no denying the fact that all women on rainy days, for in- stance, felt the injustice of a custom which made long dresses a necessity and short ones a laughing stock. Don the latter ani you were so conspicuous thf? you were talked about. No woman surely forgets the stir created by the first women who had common sense enough to brave criticism and appear without a bustle. Yet the ex- ample of the few soon became the creed of all and innumerable hoop skirt and bustle factories closed their doors. Yet a year or two ago there was a great uproar beeause there was fear of such horrors re- appearing. Did it occur to any one then that it would not only be an ordinary sight to see ladies, cld and young, whose skirts reach only to their boot tops, and whose entire costumes are medels of masculine practicabilitles and feminine comforts,to say nothing at all of the leap over the moon sugzested by bloomer: knickerbockers and trousers? Yet we have them all and nobedy seems so frigntfully shocked over it, and those most stubborn at first at least refrain from comment now, since ten to one the best developed cases may be in their own housenolds. So far for clothes —now for health. Physical Benefits. The medical fraternity almost to a man have gone in for the wheel. There are just as many physicians riding In this city as members of any other profession. The wo- men doctors are equally unanimous. If it were not that so many doctors’ wives and daughters are devotees of the wheel, the stspicion would be well grounded that in view of the accidents befalling so many of the new riders, pecially among women, the increased business which the big guns among the medicos have had in consequence might nave had something to do with their encouragement. For the average woman the wheel is likely to increase her chances for perfect health 10 per cent. The average woman, however, must remember that if she ontdoes her strength she will have to suffer for her rashness, and perhaps much more seriously than her brother. A chat with a half dozen doctors on the subject strengthens the theory that mod- erate riding is one of the best exercises pos- sible, and the most successful cure-alls of the age. Road Riders. Washington streets are so perfect for rid- ing that it is a great temptation for all to limit their peregrinations to the asphalt. But all the sweets of the sport will never be tasted unless spins over the country roads and coasting down the hills are part of the regular enjoyment. Two-thirds of the wheel- women in society ranks learned to ride la winter or spring. They are well prepared, therefore, for country rides, and they can be found every day skimming over the léafy paths of Soldiers’ Home drives, climbing the hill to Arlington, or flying in or out the 7th street pike. Suppers and dinners at Cabin Jchn bridg: or vicinity are a frequent wind- ing up of these rides, and ten days in bed have followed for some of the willing but weak amateurs who were in the crowd, but no way fitted for such a stretch. The so- clety girl, however, never cares a rap for little mistakes like these, and knows the ex- perience will be useful, just as she did at her first parties, when she danced the soles off her slippers and caught cold at an open window cooling down. The Most Appropriate Costume. Now that so many ride, and so well, the question of a proper costume for the wheel is most important. All summer a shirt waist and a short skirt were well enough, but the average woman wants to feel cor- rectly clothed when all Vanity Fair is here and looking on. The problem of clothes, happily, is a good deal easier one than se- lecting a wheel. The correct wheel dress is tailor-made. That is the fundamental prineiple, and like all other specimens of the tailor’s art, is severely plain—dark blues and browns with the preference to the lat- ter, are the best colors. Swell New York tailors are using double-faced cloth, like that in the golf capes. The skirts fit smoothly around the hips, with a box pleat in the back, and fasten on the sides—to- ward the front. The jackets fit snugly, and have a little flare at the back. The skirts have a loop to cateh on the high shoes or leggings, and the cloth, haying such body, stays in place perfectly. This sult is one of the most successful, and is certainly a leading style. ‘The tailors here are making a most satis- factory suit of a lighter weight cloth, gored and lined as any other skirt, four yards wide and all the fullness at the back. Double-breasted jacket, with the short tails fared, and leggings of the same cloth. The middle-aged athletic lady, as she is beginning to be known, has conquered the wheel quite as successfully as her daughter, but she is having a harder time of it. Everything goes for young foiks, but it Is not natural for those who would certainly look better lounging back in a victoria for their afternoon drive to see them arrayed in short skirts and leggins, whizzing along the street and seeking the same amusement as their children. The old life suits them far better, if they only knew it and did not feel it so necessary to help in the emancipation ard to avoid growing old ani fat comfortably. It is working against Dame Nature, and she is a grand lady, who permits no interference with her man- dates, Phe grandmother, however, who in her youthful and lithesome days rode horse- back, learns to wheel much more readily than any of her juniors, who are not used to that accomplishment. Here is where the middle-aged athletic lady has the laugh on her young friends. There is no question of her enthusiasm and perseverance in the sport. She has come to stay just as long as she can. Everybody Rides. A fashionable young lady was asked the | other day by a representative of The Star how many of her acquaintances rode. “Well, you may as well ask how many of them say their prayers. All are sus- pected of both. Fact is, I hate the wheel but mother says I always was I wes driven to learn just for Not a girl I know hada spare company afternoon to walk or to come in here and bring their fancy work. All were out on their wheels. They say I ride well, but I will never get used to it and lose the fear I religiously feel of coming to grief some day. It is a blessing in disguise one way. You can ride with a man dna without a chaperon. Not that the man-riding friends are so plentiful, except you happen to know a few foreigners who have the leisure for either morning or early after- noon spins. Men are so scarce that we girls think they and the chaperons will soon be extinct species. girls have to beau each other, and it is|got a half bad way, being as there is not any other.” Society Awhesl. The prominent lady riderf Shave lots to say as to the enjoyment of the wheel. Mrs. Carlisle, who is the first of the cabinet circle to conquer the silent ¥tded, thinks it is the healthiest kind of:) sport.~ She ascribes to it the complete restoration to health of her son, Mr. William K. Car- lisle, who nct only rides himself, but has his whole family, wife. two sJlanghters and son, mounted. Mr. Logan Carlisle took up the wheel to please his mother and rode away from his instructor at the first les- son. Mrs. Carlisle did not succeed as well as that at first, and has no hesitation In admitting that she thought three strong men holding her on would have inspired her with greater contidence than one. She is sticking at it entirely for love cf it and the ultimate good results in health and strength. She recommends it to all her young acquaintances, and quotes the grace and agility of her friends, the Misses Ham- lin, who are adepts. Miss Jane Hamlin is a superb rider and never tires of the whecl. Mrs.-Miles, wife of General Miles, is an- other lady not so enthusiastic by personal experience, but interested because of the pleasure she has witnessed with her daugh- ter and her friends. Riding in moderation she thinks most beneficial in every way. In the diplomatic circles the Misses Pauncefote, Madame Gana, Madame Lazo Arriaga and Madame Hengelmueller are devotees of the wheel. Mrs. Stewart, wife of the Nevada Senator, has greatly to her regret been unable to ride lately, owing to an accident in her house, which hurt her shoulder badly. But she has lost none of her enthusiasm and determination. Among the hundreds of other lady riders whose names are frequently mentioned in social matters are Mrs. Westinghouse, wife of the air brake magné hose princely en- iInments were fie Wonders of last se: Mrs. Chapin, wife of Thomas ‘Vilson, Mrs. W. Bryan, Miss Pentland; her sister, M Walter’ McLean; Mrs. Hall, wife of Major Hall; Mrs. Winthrop, wife of Colonel Winthrop, who fs just as enthu- jastic as her husband, and who has de- gned a wheeling co: lows; Mrs, Francis S, Nash, w! h, and her mother, Mr n, Whose warmest ad- mirer and imitatoy is the preity little daugh- ter of the former, and granddaughter of the latter; Mrs. Francis E.

The woman who has selected her early winter wrap must be of the “new” variety, decided in character, and gifted with a spirit of contentment, for else she would go cold while making up her mind which is handsomest of the bewildering array, and which best suited to her style. Of course, the cape predominates. You couldn’t possibly expect anything else as long as women put whole bolts of dry goods in a sleeve and puff it out with a paper mill. There is a change in the capes, however. The ripple cape, so graceful and popular, has had its day, and its sun speeds to its setting. The short ripple cape was a ghastly farce so far as warmth was con- cerned, for if the day was cold and blus- tery the bob-talled affair was always over your head or slapping your escort in the face, making him feel as though he would like to rope it and lariat it out, where it would be secure. The new capes are ell dolman in effect. A dolman cape is fastened to the belt, back or front, or both, or else it is cut so as to cling to the figure back and front, and outlines it in graceful, curving lines. It is not quite as picturesque as the cireular cape on a pretty girl, but it is @ heap more sensi- ble. It is cut very flaring over the shoulders to accom- modate the bouffant sleeve, and takes a fearful lot of goods to build in it. A_wo- New York a sealskin dolman cape, and it measures seven yards around the edge! No wonder it is pre- dicted that the sealskin will be costly this winter. It would take a whole school of the animals to supply skins for one cape such as that. As seal Is going to be scarce and high, all sorts of subterfuges will be resorted to to find something to take its place. Some of the prettiest substitutes for sealskin are made of seal plush. One in the approved dolman pattern has a close-fitting back, with cape-like extension over the shoul- ders, and long tabs in front, in which are two ‘cute little pockets. About the neck is a pretty cape of fur, with fastening of head and tails of mink. As will be readily een, this is an excellent way to utilize one’s old furs at small expense and fine effect. For early winter wear or for a dainty opera wrap seal velvet, the rich, dark shade of brown, is pretty In effect of three capes in the back, the top cape forming two sets of points falling below the waist line in front. Each cape is lined with white satin, and has a ruffle of white satin ribbon, headed by a tiny band of seal. 7 There is no end to the costly materials employed in capes, and some of the vel- vets are as expen- sive as fur. In fact, fur and velvet will be set against each other all through the winter, Black velvet will, of course be the favorite. An elegant cape of black velvet is lined with yellow satin and is edged and embroidered with pearls, a half circular cape falling over the long tabs in front, and finished with a collar and wide spread- ing bow of veltet. Of course, such a wrap 1s showy in the extreme, and would be out of taste anywhere except in making a cer- emonious cail or for evening dress. Chang- ing the pearl embroidery for cut jet passe- menterie would render it a mantle fit for any service except marketing. The hat worn with this wrap nts one of the west shape; the wide brim of black velvet is caught for- ward almost to the front of the crown, with a spreading bow of lace and three perpendicular plumes. Cloth capes are le- gion, and those made to match the tailor gowns are exceeding smart. Not as much attention is paid to the outside as to the lin- ings and the trimmings. Brilliant plaid silks are employed to line some elegant black capes, and satin in all colors and thick as a board—a very thin hoard—is quite generaily employed to match or har- moniously contrast with the outer mate- rial, Fur is used in bands and for collars, and for the odd tittle pockets that are so handy for handkerchiets and car fare. It is plain to be seen that the long, full cape will quite supplant all other kinds of wraps till toward sp: Red With Green. A much jiked combination thi red with green. Nature does it, so why rot a gown builder? Frankly, however, if you have not an artistic eye for combina- tions, and can’t bank on your dressmaker being any better, don’t try to combine red and green, Yor you will make a lamentable season ts failure of it. A very elegant example of what may be done with the right shades of red and green is found in a green crepon de soie, and dull red peau de soie. The skirt is made with a modish flare and without trimming, except as the green straps ex- tend down from the waist to be fastened with buttons. The waist is of perfectly plain green crepon de soie, with bretelles of the same, from under which comes a double ruffie of the red peau de soie, which extends around the neck in a high frill. The sleeves are immense mutton-leg af- fairs, untrimmed. —_——— The From the Chicago Tribune.

It Some Fashion Notes. » The very latcst thing for the protection of the bottoms of dress skirts is wool braid with a corded edge. It bids fair to do away with velveteen altogether. The popular furs are sable, chinchilla, er- mine, silver fox, white and blue fox, the lamb of Persia, seal, otter, beaver, mink, lynk, monkey, civet and goat. The collars have the Medici turn, and all the muffs be very large. are worn loosely, hanging from and the ends float In the air. A veil with a toque is an absolute necessity. The dotted veils rage like an epidemic, and the dots are quite thick enough to drive oculists to a frenzy of delight. Trained skirts will embellish many of the more ceremoni- ons party gowns this winter. A few will wear court trains. It is rumored that Miss Herbert will have at least one of her handsome reception gowns made with real court train and wear three Prince of Wales feathers in her fair hair. Most of the trains will fall from the waist, however. A very handsome bodice to be worn with- out a wrap might be made like the illustra- tion, which represents a pin check velvet in red, with blue lines. The velvet bre- telles are blue, and so is the belt, which is wide like a girdle. The folds back and front—it is made just the same back and front—and balloon sleeves make it a very warm garment. wi Veils hat rims, —_—-— Ferocity of the Alpine Buzzard. From the London Spectator. John Scherrer, a hunter, shot a male lam- mergeier, or Alpine vulture, and was climb- ing te the nest when the female fiew up, and settled on his back, driving her claws in deep, and trying with furious backward beats of the wings to drag him from the face of the rock. The nian’s gun was load- ed, but he dared not let go his hold on the rock to fire it. His attitude was for a time that of a reversed Prometheus, the vulture tearing his back, instead of making a meal of his victim's liver. In this predicament the hunter contrived to shift the position of his gun, so that the muzzle almost touched the breast of the lammergeier, and cocked and fired it with his foot. But in these cases the vulture was not the first aggres- sor. Unfortunately the cases in which it has carried away young infants are not rare, and are well authenticated. z —_—see aes Uniuck; From Punch. “What a Wortlebur: it was!” t of people there were at the s last week—and yet how dull But it was much brighter oOes The time and place where the armored warrior had the colic was in the middie of the knight.—Life, Every Day a Red Letter Day.
