Now that the old ladies are wearing trim knitted aweaters on the plassa on chilly, mornings and the feminine east side has adopted the gray aweater in Neu of @ coat, the summer gint will have none of it, and for her special benefit bas been brought out the trim, knowing Norfolk coat, belted to show off a slender waistline and provided with sporty looking patch pockets in hunting style. These 00d looking coats come in white serge, colored and white flannel and in various rough and ready wool mixtures; and usually « contrasting color is introduced at the collar. Biack and white checked stuff is also made up into belted coats, which are intended for wear over all outing costumes of linen, duck, flannel or khaki. WHAT THE NORFOLK COAT LOOKE LIKE. The Nortolk coat ilustrated te of Sreen serge and has & red velvet collar, and it is very breesy and youthful with the short golf ekirt of white iinen, made on straight lines and opening down one aide. These outing skirts are short enough to escape the ground by several inches even when worn with heelless tennis shoes, and high buttoned boots of white bucksltin are donned with the short skirt for street wear. The white flannel skirt is somewhat emarter this season than the skirt of duck or. linen, and whole outing frocks of; flannel are being ordered by athletic women who goin for fashion as well as sport. These White flannel frocks are very simply made, with straight skirts buttoning down one side, and loose but trimly cut and Gnished diouses in sailor or Norfolk etyle. Sometimes a few Pleats are introduced in the skirt~—near the foot—to imeure sufficient width for active exercise, Gtriped blazers are as Popular as Norfolk jackets for outing wear, but not as invariably becoming, One must be young—and slim—and pos- weoeed of a certain dash of bearing to wear a blazer with suocess. RIDING HABITS MUST BE EX. ACTLY RIGHT. No outing dress is governed by such rigid conventions as is the riding habit. For eoluntry use the cross eaddle habit 1s approved by many women who would not dream of riding in town in any- thing but a side-saddle habit; but though less conservative in type, the croas-sadéle habit is quite as conven- tional in cut as the aide-saddle garb. It includes a well fitting coat which falls well over the tops of leather put- tees, the latter being strapped above doots of black or tan leather.
