SARATOGA STYLE.

SARATOGA STYLE.
Without instituting a philosophical in.
quiry as to whether standings" have brought
about MORE designs or rice versa, the fact
is patent that they have arisen to life; bud
ding full fruition by fall and winter. The
connection between the two is almost in
structive since where can lights and sba-
dows play more perfectly than in ripples,
which simulate the glanclne Of sunshine
on the water2 Yet withal there is striv-
ing after those lines and columns that are
so marked feature of the day for the new
MORE patterns Ito not spread themselves
over the breadth as formerly, but of smaller
compass, ascend in regular rows; being
connected often by narrower lines of d.
minutive wavelets; throughout meanwhile
being deity mingled, poetic alterations Of
deeper or paler lines. Again, we see CO.
minghngs of marked contrasts such as red
with blue; gold with bronze, ETC., and
these run into each other with a charm in
creased by reason of perpetual vagueless.
Combinations of plain material continue TO
find favor as for example in a costume Of
blue MORE worn recently by Mrs. Bell
formerly jeanette Bennett, where a dark
shade of satin was used to Offset pale blue
MORE. The skirt was of satin, with two
kilt plaitings; the close basque was Of
MORE, finished with deep scarf of the
same draped at the back. For
LIGHTER SUMNER COSTUMES
Spanish lace is the rage. Elegant polo.
naises of Spanish lace are worn over sum
mer satins aud lace bodicas serve to COM
plete toilette, where the skirt is covered
with rich falling Aouuces; it is placed ad
libitum on corsages and gives finish to not
a few pretty fancies for the neck and shoul.
ders, China Grape is in vogue for costly
dresses, and the most unixuc of these are
curiously embroidered in pagodas, birds,
butterflies and Chinese flowers. Over.
dresses of this style are sometimes draped
upon SATIN skirts, toilette worn
by Mrs. Lorillard, being a combination
of cream colored Grape wrought in pale
pink cbsysanthommus with blue satin
skirt.
UNIQUE MORNING DREssEs
should war come suddenly upon Us, our
soldiers might be compelled to 20 tcntlcss
to the field because fashionable beauties
have so largely appropriated the supply of
tent cloth that it has run short. It's made
up INTO skirts as a completion to costumes
of gray, brown green or blue flannel and
the orthodox idea of the moment Is that
one stripe Of the tent or awning cloth shall
match the flannel in color while the other
stripes serve as contrast. Bed ticking, too,
is held in high estimation for similar pur-
poses; still more remarkable skirts, or even
entire dresses being composed OF the coarse
blue cotton cloth, brought out for laboriug
mems ovcralls. In direct contradiction to
all this, we find nothing more popular than
these soft qualities Of null for morning
dresses. Indeed, there is quitea rage for
null not only as made up into costumes,
but for ties, handkerchiets, jabots, ETC., rs
we'll also as for light shawls to be thrown
over the shoulders. Ultra fashionablcs dc.
