She has taken to wearing a sun-bonnet, and thus outspokenly declared her dislike of sunburn and wish to retain a fair skin. The new fad, however, would hardly have been adopted so readily If it had not chanced to be exceedingly becoming. The bonnet, which is constructed on a slender wire foundation, Is made of some delicate shade of mulle, much shirred and frilled.

A bonnet pink mulle, brought becomingly about the face and tied under the chin with a voluminous bow, Is one of the prettiest fancies that the season has produced. It Is small wonder that the bonnet has been so popular jth.it the fashion of wearing It at garden parties has already sanctioned. 0. PARIS SUMMER GOWN.

She and her work have become a fad, based, however, ill SUMMER (From a sketch.) taste for drawing and color led her, when she graduated from school, to choose to work on the scaffolding side by side with her father, and now her bold and vigorous touch can scarcely be distinguished from her teacher's except in flower foliage painting, her specialty. In this, at the age of twenty-two, she had already outstripped him. It is not possible to obtain copies of her studies, as they are so distributed about. One, a simple sketch of a poppy, Is in valert.i blues and old ivory, to fill out a space between an old mahogany cornice and six-foot wainscot of a dining-room. The poppies appear only In the corners of the room and on i'ach side of the chimney-breast.

The entrance hall of Mr, Horatio W. May's house, on Astor street, Is In a glorious scheme of color in reds and greens, covering the three feet of wall height between the wainscot and the top woodwork. Unfortunately the brightness of the Poincetta flower mixes with the foliage greens by the action of the light, and some confusion appears the picture of this "corner in the hall" to mar the tarfect rhythm of group and color In the original.

Deland Is of a strongly marked New England type, with an unusually strong face, and eyes that are those of a poet and a reader of human nautre. Her attitude here Is said to be one that is very characteristic of her, and the plain, tailor-made garb one that she especially affects. She is said to he at work upon a novel that will eclipse in interest both "John Ward' and "Philip and iously awaited. His Wife."

The spirit of youth, with its freshness and modesty, clings about everything she paints.

Those who see even her studies buy them to hang upon their walls. AN EARLY BEGINNING. When Twyman was only four years old she might be found in a room alone, lying fiat on the floor, with her box of paints, and hard at work. At seven she painted pictures of herself in just the kind of frock she wished to have, with the color and fash- Ion distinctly shown and always harmonious. When scarcely nine she made some splendid color sketches in the woods of Mackinaw, and since then, In the 'intervals between her study years, she has painted Christmas, Easter and Valentine cards, which found immediate sale.

Her mother, a cultured woman, -and her poetic and artistic father write the lines for the painted cards where on the margins or the heads her dexterous touch of color brings the market to her feet. Her father, Mr. J. Twyman, is a decorator of wide renown, a friend and devoted believer in the late William Morris and his work.In literature and art, a student in the style of the late Sir Christopher THE NEW "WHEEL" SLEEVE. (Sketched trom the actual garment by a Sunday World artist.) The yellow shows dark in the plate, giving a stronger appearance to the ornamentation by far than it really has.

The cone and ceiling is painted in oils on a flat surface covered with canvas. A yellow background, shaded up to ivory white as it passes the cone, has In a subtile combination patterned by the nicrnlng-glory vines In blossoms white and pink and blue. The yellow hangings are of rich brocaded silks, and the woodwork of the room is the ivory-white enamel finish that Is to yellow what the song is to the bird. Mr. Twyman is a firm believer In the ability of women to succeed In decorative painting, and on several occasions he has helped to launch into popularity the work of women in beautifying homes.

He was the means of bringing to Chicago Miss Fay, who p'ainted for him some years ago and who Is now the wife of Theodore Thomas, and other young women are working In this field who received assistance and encouragement from Miss Twyman is In love PIONEER 3 idea of making her way to San Francisco by bicycle would be appalling to the average young whoelwoman, however enthusiastic. There is one young woman in New York, however, who finds In this scheme the most attractive method of spending a vacation, and in a very few days she will start to carry out her plan. Her name is Nesta Neilson, and she is a remarkably pretty and successful young actress. This pioneer in transcontinental wheeling will be accompanied in her summer trip by her younger brother and and Eleanor. The trio will have no guides, no cut and dried routes of travel; the necessary experience they expect to gain en route.

The trip will be made by easy stages. Miss Nellson is but twenty-two years old. She is a blonde! tall and slender, with gray-blue eyes. Her homeiis at No. 04 West One Hundred and Nineteenth street.

When very young she was a member of the Lawrence Barrett company. She retired from the stage for a while after that actor's death. WHEEL NOVELTY. OMEN who are addicted to bicycle phraseology cvill immediately be In favor of a new sleeve vhlch Is being rapidly introduced. It is called the "wheel" sleeve, and justifies its name.

The new sleeve, which Is accurately pictured here, Is most effective when made of stiff muslin or some material which will retain the form of frills and flutlngs. The sleeve has a straight, narrow foundation from shoulder to wrist, but at intervals outstanding circular ruches, much resembling wheels, are attached. Though the effect is somewhat suggestive of windmills and electric fans and the like, it is nevertheless pretty and certainly bizarre. When freshly laundered and stiffly standing out, the wheel sleeve is not the least attractive feature of a fashionable summer gown. When wheels are of a color to contrast with the sleeve an effect is achieved more extraordinary than popular.

The bodice is of sheerest white muslin, gathered in many folds at the waist. A tiny jacket of the silk is given character by the' addition of blank velvet ribbon also used on the skirt.
