An underskirt has been perfected which combines 'knicker— bocker and petticoat, giving the ad’- vantages of both without their disad- vantages. The garment is known as the “Cythere,” which name was chosen for its attractiveness. With the Cythere, it. is unnecessary to wear tights, though some lisle or light wool undergarment should 511p- plement the article. .Neither 'does the Cythere take the places of stockings where the knickerbockers leave off. The chiet advantage of this novelty is the added . and desirable petticoat element. Men, it seems, deprecate such athletic cos- tumes for women, as it dispenses with the traditional feminine garment. Whether the inventor wrought in response to this masculine wall for the retention of the non-bifurcated undershirt; whether the wish of the women to be obllglng or if the Cythere represents the natural reaction from great skirt to no skirt, then to, little skirt,‘is not explained. Itls. such women as hitherto have found "their athletic costumes incomplete, l ilfl'llll :‘itoniuriuunn to. -.,\. , ., r—' . there is made with a deep yoke, the skirt and knickerbockers are attached below the hips; thus there is no full- ness at the belt line. .

A fall from auwheel, a sudden gust of wind. would not discover so generously a woman wearing this sort of garment as 'one sans petticoat. The silk ones are frilled, but those of brilliantine are not. The skirt opens the entire length on either side, which is a. gain ' for ease iii locomotion. A woman of taste, of course, has all visible or pos- sibly visible underwear match outer- wear On the wheel, in color. These red Cytheres are to be countenanced only for golf, traveling or walking un- der circumstances in which the skirt would show only the least occasional bit. There has been an immense sale this season of genuine Scotch tweeds, as these materials are in high favor for cycling and travelling dresses.

' They are uncommonly pretty, genteel, and becoming this year, as the blossoms are daintily veiled with tulle .or fine-meshed silk net. A charming French model is composed of perfectly natural-looking rbses, damask red to the faintest pink, inter- mixed with any amount Of tender green tea-rO'Se foliage that deepens in places into brownish red. :Four or five lovely buds and leaves form _a graceful aigrette at one side. Covering the en- tire toque, with the exception of the ai'grette, is a misty veiling of soft green tulle; this also forming the face veil. The entire drapery is fixed in place with tiny jewelled pins, the .veiling covering the flowers with a lace-like and softening effect. Flower. in Abundance. For those who are tired of violets, even of the best Parisian manufacture, are provided pretty wreaths and bunch- es of purple-blue iris, hyacinths, rag- ged-sailor blooms, p'erlwinkles, white and lilac stocks, primulas, and Scottish blue-bells. Primulas of French make look very pretty in artificial form, and the foliage is decorative. , Sprays, of shaded na‘sturtium blossoms in velvet are very often seen on French hats and bonnets, the flowers ”as a rule veiled with brown, green, 'or black tulle. A harmony in green and white for a summer hat is charming—only very delicate foliage being employed, such as maiden-hair fern, shamrock, clover leaves, creeping Charlie in shaded vel- vetand tulle for "the green portions, and lilac sprays, silk choux, rosebuds, mountain daisies, ostrich plumes, dog- . blossoms, and hawthorn for the white garnitures. .
