THE SUMMER EXODUS.
What to Wear on the Way to the
Mountains and Shore.

roine of Sake Holm's charming story
did, and make out a list of "want-to-
HAYES" and list of "must-haves." On
the first list will be all the rainbow lurid
whims and luxuries of color and of
fabric that fashions fertile fancy can
suggest, and fashions fancy has fairly
run wild this season. The most imper-
alive "must-have" is the travelling dress.
1t should be made with either the plait-
ed or kilt skirt, or with a plain round
skirt short enough in front to show the
feet. 1t may be made bouffant. or plain
and close, TO suit the figure. The popu-
lar materials are summer corduroy,
plain satin cloth, velvet or Pekin satin.
The latter material is much used for
walking suits, draped with polka-dOtted
panier overskirt and jacket Of some fash
ionable shade.
There is another travelling dress, sim
pie and severe, and becoming TO the
Roman matrOn species OF woman, which
consists OF a plain skirt in u solid neu-
trail color, worn with loug redingote
or paletot without drapery. In the en-
tire lack of trimming, this model relies
for style on nice finish and hand
some buttons. The wardrobe should be
ordered with regard to the locality OF the
summer outing. The crisp organdies
and fresh muslins that a-e so charming
for evening wear are ruined by the salt
sea air, and 50 are certain silks. And
50 the woman who was wise in her
generation takes with her TO the sea
shore evening dresses of mOusseline DIES
4.s......,l ,,-.th fnfllA and loco
and dresses OF white and ecru French
bunting.
Seaside grenadines, with alternate
stripes of lace and velvet, and of satin
and iardiniere in evening cOlOrs, will
also be favorites, made in basques and
corsages Of different shapes. Young la
dies who have well rounded arms and
shapely shoulders will wear their cor
sageS low-necked; and other cOrsages
will open at the neck in pointed Pompa-
dOur style or in heart shape, with elbow
sleeves. The favorite Breton lace will
be used in nearly all cases.
For yachting party, or an excursion
TO themOuntains, nothing is better than
a flannel suit with plain skirt which
has little wei ghs, and which will give
her great fire, dom of motion. 1t is, in
fact, indispensable ii one really intends
10 have genuine enjoyment OF the noun
tain or the sell. This boating or noun
tain dress should always be OF flannel,
of some neutral color that will not show
dust or salt water, and may be as pic
turesque as one pleases by judiclOus
touches OF color. II one is going to the
country simply becauseit is "the thing"
TO 90, and intends TO handle nature
with gloves, there are dainty and dressy
suits of French bunting in some plain
color. relieved with faCings, cuffs, collar,
revers and a make-beieve waistcoat of
Madras plaid bunting, furnished en-
suite. or trimmed with pOlka-dotted
satin of contrasting color. The skirt
will be either a regular kilt or will be
plain with box or religieuse plating,
Evening dress for country wear will
be largely OF white toilette. Young la
dies will incline to robes OF India null
and Organdy made en- princesse, or all
in one piece, as a man might say. Then
in addition there will be long basque
simulated in front by a rich trimming
of lace and insertions. The COrSages Of
many of these dresses will be open at
the neck i'm iichu fashion, and will be
made entirely OF lace insertions and edg-
ings. There 5 a great deal OF art IN this
arrangement Of cOrsage and sleeves, Tor
il will set of 10 great advantage white
necks and arms. This slight return to
low necks and short sleeves necessitates
LIGHT wraps. There is a new white bro
cade material which has the rich effect
of embroidery, and long fichus of en-
broidered white tulle, trimmed In Span
ish lace, make picturesque wraps for
the head and shoulder.
As thedrapery of skirts becomes more
bouffant, basQues are necessarily made
shorter. Carriage dresses have demi-
trains and elaborate evening dresses are
made with full trains.
Low shoes are superseding the uni
versal high, close-ftting boot, for street
wear. For the last few summers the
low shoe has been worn on the street
hut il has been worn with rather tim
id. deprecating air, early in the morn
ing, or late in the afternoon, or on the
native heath OF the home verandah.
Then il was pretty and comfortable, but
the fashion did not prevail to such an
extent that the average woman did not
feel a trihe conspicuous in wearing any
thing on the street but the usual black
kid boot.
Now that dresses are made so short
rs 10 show the ankle, and low sandals
are worn. stockings of silk and Isle
thread are shown in the greatest variety
of color and design. They are elaborate
lv embroidered, and in color and design
must accord with the dress. The old
fashion of CATERS which match the dress
i'm color is revived, but these are only
for Cinderella. Her sister should wear
the black bONts that make the foot look
small.
No doubt good deal OF the "Witchery
of Archery" of which some author has
lately written, consists largely for wO-
men i'm the pretty toilets it allows. A
woman would take kindly to any game
which gave her an opportunity for grace
ful attitudes and the wearing OF a suit
of white bunting with gay trimmings Of
baudanna plaidS in handkerchief pat
terms which show prepOnderanCe OF red
and yellow. If a very stunning effect
te-lEttl, blil E'l'l sAlA'A NttlNAAAtAA sum
ribbons NAV be added to the costume,
There are dress bonnets OF net, with
the crown filed in with flowers, which
are quiet and pretty, but the larger and
more picturesque shapes, which project
upward and out, and, in a measure,
shade the face, are still more popular.
Parasols were never SO pronounced.
To look over the stock in store IS a
carnival of color, French tops, covered
with striped satin and lined with bright
colored plaid silk, or the new Chinese
coaching parasol or a banana silk and
bingham parasol for the county and for
Yachting. Fragrant woods are largely
used in the handles, especially olive
wood, pimento wood and welchsel
wood.
The japanese fan with handkerchief
is much used and from Vienna comes
something new in rocco, studded with
colored stones in gilt flagree.
Ii hammOcks do not come under the
head of something to wear, they are GER
