THIS, Is the time of the year ,rhen honk" of the motor horn resounds through the land, when the sineing Of the perfect nmnlns machine makes music In the amateur chauffeur's ears. Most Important of all, now Is the time when suitable motoring clothes are neces sity. This season the woman planning her motoring outfit has hart wide choice. She may elect to be trim and sportsmanlike In clone-fitting shepherd's plaid or esthetic nd seductive In long Tallin line of neu tral tinted silks and swathing yards of chiffon Telling. For In either ense, the demands of fashion are satlfifled. There Is no doubt that automoMling tops are nnnstiaily attractive this year, and who shall deny that it is time that they were made more with an eye to beauty than has been? I positively shrink from the memory of some autoinobillng women I hare known. Shapeless bundles of un- happy looking clothes with two goggle haded eyes and heads tied on as though afraid they would fly off. Scarcely human they have seemed, by no stretch of the Imagination could one imagine theirs be ing human forms divine. But now there is no excuse. If, Indeed, there ever was one, for that sort of thing. Instead the motoring girl can make of ber aelf something most fascinating In cloudy Dims of chiffon and fluttering folds of Ilk, and the quaintest oh, but the very quaintest ! bonnet. For that Is the real sensation of the mo toring season this brand new motoring bonnet. It comes from the coquettish laud of France, and who can guess what coquetry will dwell with In Ha depths? Nor that it. Is new to this vuml. Our mother or our grandmothers, Ir's al according to the age we own np to will lell n v'nat within their memory bonnets, the ditto of these, were worn by Ite young belles of America. Most picturesque they are to our modern eyes. Made of taffptJ si!k. cr of satin, very light in weight, or if Intended as pro tection from tno evening winds chiffon is Used, all shirred and corded and edged with lac ruffles and tiny posies. Made on the accordion plaited Shaker principle they reach far out and give complete shade to the fair face within. Tou may see one of them pictured In the sketch marked "F." With one of these bonnets a veil t hardly a necessity, "so closely do they fit. protecting the hair perfectly, but the mod ern girl is hard to part from her much beloved chiffon veils, so over this la tied a veil, over and around, meeting again under the chin where the ends tie, falling quite to the hem of the skirt And, by the way, have yon noticed the ambitious growth of the motor veil? It haa grown and grown. Not oontcnt with being three yards long It has expanded Into three yards wide ns well, and all the girls arc making Salomes of themselves with yards and yards of chiffon swathing only, instead of the head of Jnhn upon a platter as a trophy, they have the hearts of Hilly and Harry and Charley 0!0n a string. Light weight cloths are being this year made up into mosj successful automobile wraps. Rlack anil white checks are favor ites with a brightening touch of scRrlet and golj cr the fashionable vivid preen in col lar and cuffs.

It Is made of the roughest Scotch tweed, In blue or vio let, with a reverse of gay Scotch tartan or of tweed of horse blanket effect ontalde and of solid color within.

Of quite 8'iottier effect, though still of leather, are the half fitted coats of charm ingly colored suede, soft and velvety Ilka panne, to be found at a shop which proves fascinating to all devolect of the motor car.

On your head you can wear a most be coming little toque of waterproofed silk, and you needn't feel nervous about your chiffon veil, for It Is rainproof as well as dustpronf. Thus do the arts of civilization defy he elements. In Inexpensive motoring coats there Is nothing better to he found than the long, loose coat of natural colored linen. It Is cut on good lines nut the shapeless thing It used to he and affords good protection against the rondsMo dust, wlliout adding much warmth to the motorist's apparel. I'ongeo Is an almost Ideal fabric for Sum mertime motoring wraps. It Is light as posslhic In weight, and yet " so closely woven thai dust cannot penetrate It. It has the added recommendation of launder ing like, cotton, looking as well after it comes out of the tub as before It went In. Rome stunning wraps have-been fashioned of It for this season's wear.

Touches of color are usually to be found In the collar, wide cuffs and sometimes down the front. l.l'tle wheel ill,e ornaments of gold braid ate frequently added, and gold but tons make It gayer still.

This vessel is very eonsplcuouv standing out clearly when the hand hangs limply downward. Tbe reaaon for putting tne rlnf on tbe fourth finger, however. Is probably quite different. Its use for tbe purpose joes back to prthlstoric time, and ite eeiectlon is llkelv to have been due to the fact that It is the leaat free la Its movements of all tbe fingers. Accordingly, a ring encircling It will Interfere less with tbe use cf tbe hand than if placed on any etber digit. It happena that tbe extenaor tendon of the foarth finger is attached t those ef the third tnd fifth fingers by croes-bands which restrict the movements of tbe ring finger considerably. Anybody may-feat tbla for tlmtrlf by holding tbe third and fifth fin gers forcibly bent and trying at tbt aame time to extend the rlsf fln;er.
