FASHION AT NEWPORT.
FULL DRESS ToHETTEs-YA OUTFITS
COSTUMES AT MIDDAY GERMANS, &C.

For success in the fashion business here,
china Grape dress does as much for the
owner, as top note, according to Mark
TWAIN, is found to do in the music business
here or elsewhere. A shield and buckler
are those sOftened folds, enveloped in which
you may TRANQUILITY defy united batteries of
grenadine, satin brocade, yeilings, and !
know not what beside. They are good
enough each in its way, but none of them
are china Grape, nor indeed, can ever be.
Formidable in rivalship, however, are gren-
adines whereon are depicted great ball.like
flowers Of plush, or where a geometrcal
brain bestrews hectagons, pentagons, and
other 'gOns too numerous to mention. Such
costume as was worn by Mrs. Bonaparte
at a recen. reception An olive green gren
adine ornamented by large pear shaped
plush flowers in pale pink with leaves of
darker green. The grenadine was made as
apOlOnaise over satin uuderskirt Of har
mOnizing shade, where successive puffs
were headed by plating Of pale pink.
An exquisite Grape dress worn on another
occasion by Mrs. Bonaparte was Of creamy
tinged white, embroidered in colors and
made over an underskirt Of black and
cream colored satin, while second Grape
costume was OF pale blue combined with
yellow.
YACHTING COSTUMES
differ considerably according to whether
the wearer be still youthful or otherwise.
Then again for luncheons on board richly
furnished yacht, we fad the handsomest
dinner toilets as looked upon as not too
elaborate. Here, acity extravaganza is
superadded by an abandon allowable
only at watering places, and Pelion is
piled on Ossa to bedeck the millioniare's
wife. The more genuine Yachting outfits
worn by young ladies show characters
tic dash Of the sailer costume. The style
of making Is eccentric, or to say the least,
informal a loose waist belted in with
broad nautical collar, usually the collar
and belt matching. Turkey red or blue
parcale, white or blue flannel or cashmere
are mixed together and compounded in
many different ways, while the Jersey
waist comes in to give still farther variety.
Extremely coquettisn too are yachting suits
where the overdress is made in coat style
basque and j4unty overskirt, a pretty
model having been worn by Miss Astor
where white cashmere was stitched in red,
and worn with plated underskrt Of red
percale. Mrs. Cornelias Vanderbilt lately,
wore costume of fine blue flannel where
the skirt was composed Of two deep row 8
q plating with wooden sash tied below
tA% waist, bow and ends at the back, and
Je the y9ist Of corresponding color with
striPe,2st and blue collar and cuffs.
Miss Bonapatte wore similar one of
brown cashmere with, red striped
collar, cuffs and tie.
! MIDDAY GERMANS
are given by Newport hostesses because it
is often impossible to secure an evening.
The stvle of dress, ofcourse, is not so elab-
crate as in the evening, and here one be
holds an endless display Of veilings, Surahs,
Louislnes, embroideries and grenadines, to
many of which not only satin but velvet is
brought as an adjunct, Not so much the
latter as the former, because velvet is heavy
for mid day wear, but in slight touches 1t
appears on these occasions, while during the
afternoon drive, or latter, it is often seen
to lavish extent Some of the New In.
dia foulards, too, are worn at these Ger
mans. Having character of their own,
they are easy distinguishable by the quaint
red figures stamped on creamy white
surface, and favorite combination is an
undeIskirt of solid red silk made in
successive plaitings. Chine silks, too, are
in great favor, and one of the prettiest
toilettes of this kind was worn by Judge
Hilton's daughter, where the rows OF
Chine flowers aternated with black
MORE stripes. 1t was made all in one and
without combinati on or accessories, as
the material in itself showed sufficient va
riety. MORE has been successful all the
season, and though hardly the highest
style, will be worn during the coming win
ter.
1t is an open secret here that the new
toilette article, Dr. SCOTS electric flesh
brush, is to be found in the summer outti
y of many belle Indeed, am told con
identially that it is quite the rage, anc
physicians predict great benefit from it
use. These brushes are made OF bristles
and should not be mistaken for wirt
brushes seen IN shops. Three dollars vii
; purchase one, and that sum OF money coulC
: not be more judiciously expended.
