YACHTING COSTUMES
differ considerably according to
whether the wearer be still
youthful or otherwise. Then

the bandsomest dinner toilettes

Peliou is piled on Ossa to bedeck
the miIlionaire's wife. The more
genuine yachting outfits worn by
young ladies show a characteristic
dash Of the sailor costume. The
style of making is eccentric, or to
say the least, informal a loose
waist belted in with broad nauti-

waist comes in to give still farther
variety. Extremely coquettish too

dress is mado, in coat style basque
and jaunty orerskirt, a pretty
model having been worn by Miss
Astor, where white cashmere
was stitched in red, and worn with
a plated underskirt of red per-

flannel where the skirt was com.

with wooden sash tied below the
waist, bow and ends at the back
and Jersey waist Of correspond

blue collar and cuffs. Miss Bona
par,e wore a similar one Of brown
cashmere with red striped collar,
cuffs and tie.

as in the evening, and here one
behoIds an endless display of
ceilings, Surahs, Louisines, EN-.
broideries and grenadines, to
many of which not only satin
but velvet is brought as an ad
junct. Not so much The latter as
the former, because velvet is
heavy for midday wear, but in
slight touches 1t appears on these
occasions. while during the after
uoon drive, or later, it is often
seen to a lavish extent. Some oil
