NEg YoRK, Isy 27.-The fashionable
yachting party preserves as much style
ss il in handsome country mansion and
| dress, particularly at dinner, is an affair
OF moment. Flimsiness OF wash material
II ID true ia laid aside for the more dura-
bic attractions of silk, satin or fine wool
but these are gotten up extrsvsgantly
and induce correspondent efforts on the
part of besux attendant. But flannel
has not been displaced from its pre-emi-
nepcs az water material and very
charming in a servicssble simplicity are
dark oolored suits neatly made with
tailor finish. Young girls are fond of
white flannel dresses, q stylish fancy here
heins soft buff leather collar, cuffs and
belt trimmed with stitched embroidery
ard added to by white lawn ornamsnted
in colors on the edges. Blouse waists,
the full Gsribaldi or jerseys are usually
selected and this gives additional evil
denoe how popular the jersey will be
hAAo W icdoOh Vi hu1pthoillby
and easy fit. Yachting is now much
more a way of living than formerly and
weeks are spent on board where formerly
days had sufIioed for parties OF ladies and
gentlemen.
TRAVELLING OUTFITS.
The handsomest dresses are prepared
for June brides vino are most prominent
in the grand drawing of matrimonial
lottery tickets at present going on, more
uncertain than the much deoried Lon
isiana State, since Bsauregard and Early
do not, as in the case of the latter, guar-
sntee perfect fairness on the part of the
future husband. Yet the one thought is
the fnery of to day, and for travelling,
fine cashmere is often chosen. though
most stylish OF all, perhaps, are mohsirs
or poplins in gray or mushroom shades,
either stitched in tailor finish or bordered
with Hercules braid. Velvet is also
employed on these suits in wide bands
set horizontally or up and down on the
skirt as well likewise for collar, cuffs and
vest. Jauntiness is given by trimming
the last. with gilt or silver braid or
cautious peepings Of it are seen elsewhere.
Velvet, nevertheless, is a bad choice for
travelling, as one must be continually
brushing and, despite fashion, 1t has
heavy look on heated cars. For ordinary
humanity, who dwell not In the soft
light of the honeymoon, there is nothing
80 desirable as light, pure wool, with
much emphasis on the "pure," since
cotton interweavings are detestable,
causing drinking in case Of wstting,
besides much else reprehensible.
