Especial Correspondence of the Globe
SARATOGA, N. Y, June 8.-By IL O'Clock
in the morning, the pink and white satins
begin to appear. Blue and red likewise
and other dressy colors and not satins
only, but velvets, brocades, laces and more
gorgeous attire than lilies ever dream of.
Gloves of unspeakable length, fairy like
parasols and 1 know not what. This won
derful attire, however, is in a minority and |
fearlessly walks by the tourists black silk
the newly arrived travelling ulster, the |
pretty gingham or satin. For we are not |
all of one mind here. A large proportion |
of visitors are the clerical brethren who |
complacently look at pomps and yanities |
| abroad and lose much of their dignity at
their boarding houses where they play
croquet, tennis or take u hand at any
thing going.
TO SEEM AND TO BE.
Fitting like wax, behold that corsage;
moulded to the form without crease or
wrinkle. Handsome enough one might
say, but who wants this hot weather to be
so dressed up. Now that is just where you
are mistaken, my good friend, for if you
l write Oft might seem to YOU
! almost an optical delusion that
| you were presentable in society. So per-
| fectly comfortable do you feel, stretching
your arms anywhere, drawing long breaths,
feeling, to sum it up, like an animated
specimen of humanity, which is more in
deed than you can say for yourself when
you wear your velvet basque, your silk pol
onaise or even the pretty little dotted
muslin, looking SO cool and charming
Even thaf, though the waist is loose, must
be looked after lest the gathers ride up
over the belt, ETC., etc. etc. The jersey
! gives" You see, and i'll that ''glving''
property lies the secret of its hold upon US.
| Yet, all the while, there is scarce anything
which presents the trim, tidy appearance
that the jersey does; fitting like wax if
properly kept down, the same being easily
accomplished by sewing on a half dozen
leads below the bottom hem. Do this for
the jersey and the jersey will do the rest,
remaining il its place and giving you no
further anxiety. Improvements are
now made, too, by ornamentations
of jaunty braidings, plaitings at the
back, etc, so that ones figure need not be
severely shown off.
MORNING DRESSES.
Children run by with shells on their
heads. The new straw hats made in imi-
tation of shells. l mean, and laden on the
top with ribbon and flowers. am not
conchologist enough to tell the name, but
We all know the common kind of shells
that, beginning small on one side, spread
out in somewhat fan like shape and con-
cave. Sometimes ladies wear them also,
but not often here, for they are not dressy
enough. More dressy and babyishly inno-
cent looking, the little cap shaped bonnet
made of white lace or muslin, sometimes
mixed with velvet, ribbon or bedecked
with flowers, but as often, perhaps, in an
entire white simplicity. Plenty of white
dresses, likewise, but white is q poor thing
to depend upon, so we see tasteful ana
practical dresses of China silk, thin enough
to make one feel like a cucumber, while III
dark shades of blue, bronze, green, ETC.
they defy the inroads of dust or mud
Chine silks, refined in their half clouded
colors, are another variety giving element.
and much in favor by managing mammas,
who provide against e4travagant laundry
bills. The wealthy wear them, however.
and delicate blue and drab chine silk
polonaise over blue and drao striped
silk skirt is Miss Vanderbi,t's favOrite COS
tune for morning, since it is becoming to
her blonde style. Her sister, who is dark,
wears the counterpart in combined cherry
red and gray. These young ladies dress
prettiy, but not with extravaganza, leav-
ing lavish display of diamonds and
other magnificencts to older and married
members Of the family.
SIMPLICITY sEEKERS.
Those who seek simplicity have provid-
ed themselves with yelling dresses. Morn
ing, noon and night we STE them. Ex-
tremely popular perhaps, because there IL
not much individuality III this mater;a!
and 1t is capable therefore of taking ou
such diff rent characters according 10
combina' Ons, ways of making, or acces-
, sories. Nothing simpler than a simple
dress of veiljng if you wish it, nothing
more captlvatingly jaunty if jauntiues7 be
demanded, while for evening there are
qualitles thin enough TO cause the name
of yelling" to become mispomer.
Hitherto, veiiings have chiefly
been brought out il solid
colors, but this season there is large
proportion in stripes affording great pos
sibilities to those who know Low to take
Advantage OF opportunities Striped
skirts are much liked with bunchy polo

simpler or prettier. II lie WY OF an IN
evpec .et revival, we notice th7 eorn ba-
ti5tes, which some years ago tell into Oh
livIou and were sold at yery low prices.
All on a sldden they reappear made into
stylish pUlonalses over silk skirts. Espe-
claliy III demand are those covered sparseiy
with dots OF considerable size or sprays.
Some IN white but more VITA contrasting
pink, blue or red.
TLASNEis TJ TIE FRONT.
Flannel mas mighty run of favor as q
travelling material and the hundreds Of
suits shown in New York stores in the
spring ars now shown on fashionable wear
eTs as they emerge from hotel coaches for
shorter or longer sojourning here. Miss
IseIin, a leaGer in Newport society, wore 4
dark green flannel braided in black on
occasion of flying visit Ovsr here, while
Miss Astor, who accompanied her, was
very plainly dressed in blue
flannel of fine quality. Contact with Ed
ropean society teaches those who travel
abroad that nothing is more vulgar than
