WATERING PLACE COSTUMES.
IT'S not SO much what is as what is 10 be.
| June weddings are about over. The dusty
| city is becoming contemplate and we look
for what will be worn at the watering places.
Morning dresses are of gingham in fine quail
ties which are really more genteel than finery
at an early hour of the day and simply made,
are easily laundried. Then there is perennial
white, chiefly null or naiDsook, and the fav-
orite finish is embroidery that frequently is
in four wide founces forming the skirt, being
met by flounce to match on the half tight
or belted in corsage. Basques Of small
| figured cretonne are also prepared for morn
| ing outfits and give completion TO dark or
black silk or satin skirts. This is a very
tasteful and inexpensive fancy. Dainty after
| noon and evening costumes are made Of fine
cashmere in pale pink: blue, ivory white, or
4
complete with gayety a dark skirt. The
| Surah tOilettes are noteworthy, because thin
and light in texture, but the colored are often
dark such as deep garnet, olive or forest green,
| blue or brown. These Surahs are too yield
| ing to hold well together If alone, so dress
makers are fain to give firmness by a founda-
| ton OF silesia or alpaca for the skirt. AS to
ways of making, for woods and silky stuffs
| the changes are rung on the curiasss corsage,
| which shows off the figure to such advantage
| aud with minor variations, this leading idea
| is kept in view. Never was the corset, there
fore, of greater importance, and doubtless for
that reason the new double hip novelty corset
is part of watering place outfits. The bones
| of this beautifully fitting corset are arranged
| diagonally in the front and back, by which
| improvement stability, strength, and symmetry
| are given. Perfect freedom OF movement re-
suits because it is go pliable, while from that
very reason it is extremely durable since it
yields without breaking. 1 really wish you
| would make trial of it and to this end would
suggest that you enclose 81 so to the Novelty
| corset works, No. 212 to 232, West 26th street

LITTLE RED BIRDS.
And cunning little red birds they are. Not
| only red, but blue birds, brown birds, any
| thing but the white clad little innocents of
yOre. T'is of children / write and it only re-
birds, or in polite language, dressed up in
terra Gotta, which doubtless they will be by
| the time this reaches you. "Terra Gotta"
| meaning literally cooked EARTH" red with
an exceeding flavor of brown or brown equal
ly seasoned with red; put it either way, for
| both are correct. In several sha des it is
about to become popular rage; appearing
| not only in woods and silky goods-chicay
| the fOrmeT-but in accessories, such as gloves,
ribbons, etc. Nothing sanctions it save dash
Of eccentricty; and that longing for something
different which is Inherent in human nature.
Ladies look queer enough in these ontflts of
| terra Gotta wool made without combination
| Tailor finish, tight sleeves, terra Gotta gloves
prolonged to the elbow and hat to match.
But to return to my text. The hats worn by
children with their jaunty wool or silk out
| fits are very broad brimmed straws tied with
ribbon and dyed correspondingly, in red,
garnet, blue, brown or green. Stockings
ditto. For
GROWN PEOPLES HATS
or bonnets, velvet is now established as fash
ionable. Greatly so; both on the formidable
| sized and naring hats and on the very small
capotes that are more extensively worn than
| ever. Smaller than ever Oftentimes and dis
played by younger ladies than formerly, who
| sometimes perch them on the back
OF their heads when resting on the
careless knot or braid of hair and without
strings, they are really no b0nnets at all, il
we understand by bonnet covering for the
head. The bundle Of flowers on one side is as
big as the hat, while a velvet bow in front
constitutes the trimmings. Innings of velvet
under broad brims is fashionable, large bows
OF velvet are combined with ostrich feathers
or flowers and velvet ribbon in millinery is
restored to pristine dignity. For garden
parties and lawn tennis, the broad brimmed
hat is indispensable, at least for the young
people, who take part in popular pastimes.
AS 10 the costume, devise it as fanciful]y as
you please and on this head, at least, you can
scarce eXaggerate. / am writing at this mo-
ment of course to the young people. Cash
mere or flannel are in high favor, made CO.
| quettishly, but with loose comfortable
waist, allowing free use of the arms. Red
cashmere is ever so pretty when worn by the
right young lady; broad brimmed red hat
can be supplemented, while the tennis apron
of white Holland, lnnen or canvas serves to
tone down a too peryading redness. Trim
your apron prettily but inexpensively, and as
a sample | can mention one reaching quite
long in front and back, made with low necked
waist and arm holes, open in the back and
tied with ribbon bow. 1t is finished with
an embroidered ruffle and has deep shirred
pocket in front. Cheese cloth reappears for
tennis dresses, and jaunty imported outfits are
| trimmed with figures cut from cretonne and
| sewed down in applique style, parasol to
| match. Canvas, too, is brought out ready
made aud similarly beiutified. But with toll.
cradle ingenuity any young lady can make
| such costume for herself and spend but lit
tie as the materials are very cheap.
WHAT SHALL SHE DO Whit?
That troublesome little thing, the hand
kerchief. Troublesome, because literally at
present, without place or position.
No pocket, no anywhere for it, unless you
| call the uncertain interval between two but
| tons above the waist line of the corsage
somewhere. There it Imay peep out ready to
fall and be lost. Yet il lost, lost in a good
cause. Should it fall you know you have
tried to be fashionable; should 1t stay in you
know you are fashionable. This gives the KEY
| TO the boxes on boxes of small, ornamental
edged handkerchiefs that one sees in leading
| stores. For, in view of no foundation to rest
| on, the handkerchief must be small, while,
| in view of the fact that il is especially in
view Of ones beau or ones dear, critical lady
| friends, one cannot show too much taste in
choosing. Whether the colored border sh Ill
be dotted or spotted or striped or plaided or
| Powered, or combinations of all or any. For
the streets Que is permitted to carry bag in
ones hand mot on the army, and the handker-
chief may peer from an outer pocket, or be
hidden within, according to whether you
| want to show it or hide it. Then, too, it
| might repose in an unlawful and much to be
fully as some people here would hide their
grandmothers. Not on any account to be
| acknowledged or spoken of. At watering
places the work blsket would be q convenient
repository. RosALIND MAY.
