The popular dust-proof travelling cloak
is modification of the 'Ulster,' Of steel
gray nnohair. 1t slightly fitted in the
back, with the front loose, and in some
models deep circular cape is set in with
the sidc-seams of the back, and the gar
ment called ssUlster Dolman.''
There is special fancy this summer
for shirred bonnets or round hats Of cot
ton goods thot may be renewed by the
laundress when no longer fresh. Ladies
save pieces of. their lawn, batiste, and
simple plaid gingham dresses to make
the round hat which is to be worn with
them.
Mob-caps of oil-silk, colored sea green,
or else in the usual yellow shades, are
used to protect hair while in the wa
ter Over this is worn wide brimmed
coarse straw hat, which may be bought
for few cents Sometimes cottage
shaped cap of the oil-silk is preferred to
the mob-cap.
There are elegant sachels of morocco
and Russia leather, lined with fine mo-
rocdo or velvet, and supplied with vel
yet-lined etui containing hair, tooth. nail,
hat and clothes-b brushes, scissors and 9TH
er instruments for keeping the nails in
order, boxes of nail and lace powder,
hand-mirrors and other toilet convention
ces.
A bathing cloak, to be put on imme-
diately after leaving the surf, is provided
by most lanies. The regular water proof
cloak is useful for this, though some
times circular, or else sleeved gar
ment with belt is made of white Turk
ish toweling and trimmed with gay-col-
ored braids. This is also useful as
dressing gown after the daily bath at
home.
Another dressy novelty this summer is
the mantle of white Breton lace made in
the shape Of a large fichu, with volumi-
GUS jabot ends tied at the waist in front.
The back reaches just below the. belt of
the dress, and the shoulders are covered
with soft white net, which is wrought in
the large foriated patterns now darned
In the Breton lace. The garment is a
most dainty finish to elegant summer
costumes for day receptions.
The belts and bags so popular with
American ladies are again used-a fash
ion peculiar to this side of the water as
tourists assert each season when return
ing from Europe. For general wear
light-colored leather or morocco belts are
used, with bags attached, and the favorite
is Of alligator-skin with its peculiar
square grains. Belts of medium width
are most becoming to the figures, but
those four inches wide are most fashion
able.
The Carmen bonnet of white organdy
is pretty and inexpensive for midsummer
wear at the watering places. 1t is made
double of the sheer muslin, drawn over
fine white wire at intervals of an inch
and has the Mary Stuart pointed front,
widely fairing sides, and indented cur
tain band that distinguishes the large
Carmen shape A bunch Of field peoples,
blue corn-fowers, buttercups or daisies,
with some loops of black velvet ribbon,
form the trimmings.
The requirments of the dress for surf
bathing give little chance for change
of a style, froms eason to season.
Conveniently, the costume consists of
pair Of trowsers and blouse belted in
at tao waist. The material needed is
something Of wiry, elastic order, with
considerable weight, but not very thick,
so that it will suffer the water to drain
through easily and yet not cling closely
to the figure. The material thus far IN
greatest demand is stout, rough, wool
en- serge; mohair serge is also used.
