CYCLING FASHIONS.

Besides all the entertainments that the Parisienne enjoys at the seaside, tandems or bicycles are most in favour this year, and couturiers have had to create most original and graceful ensembles for the numerous adepts ; one is composed of wide shorts forming a skirt reaching the knee, each flare being stitched, the short-sleeved blouse accompanying it being very simple in shape, made of light spotted material ; another is influenced by a gardenerlike outfit, a chequered blouse and the shorts black, adorned at the edges with white stitching, tight-fitting at the waist, rising a little on the front and caught by two hands of material passing over the shoulders and knotted at the back, with white stitches forming a design on the front and on the edges of two pockets in the manner of a gardener’s apron. Couturiers have made other very juvenile ensembles or costumes in printed or plain materials. Little berets and graceful caps are worn with the former and broad-brim-med turned-up hats with the latter.
