the object of it is to let the men recline in
the sun in a state of nature for an hour or
so after bathing every day Isn't it strange
that even men will adopt such custom?
And isn't it strange how extremes are GER
tain to meet? Here, in the most dainty
and feminine of resorts is the most mascu-
line institution l ever heard of, in which
the most far-fetched and excessive homage
is paid to masculine indelicacy.
THE LAUDABLE DESIRE
to look well at all times, even when MAX
ing a pudding or slicing bread, can be
gratified to the fullest extent this
summer. no matter how slen-
der the purse. Charming printed
lawns that look like linen, because, though
sheer, the fabric is not very fine, while the
threads are round and strong, are selling in
many houses at cents per yard. Prints
are correspondingly low-priced, while or
candies and mulls can be bought at figures
from 10 to so cents and sateens at s 10 II
cents per yard. Any of these midsummer
stuffs made up in the fayorite

now make a love of gown for any woman,
but especially one who, with household
motions light and free, lives within the
charmed circle of home, and wears on her
lips the golden calm of summer charity.
Attired in any of the many gauzy wash
goods fabrics that are now so plentiful, or
in cool, fresh prints, the languors of the
melting months of July and August and
the fortunes of the heated term lose half
their force and power. No lace or en-
broidery should be put on these
fabrics when the frock is intended
for domestic indoor wear. They
look better the palmer they are made; but
there should be no appearance of scarcity of
material. Let the skirt, though plain, be
full; the sleeves loose enough to roll up
above the elbow. but long enough to cover
the wrist when down; the neck high, and
finished with high turnover collar of the
same material. The Mother Hubbard loose
gown is an excellent pattern for such
dresses.
THE HOT WEATHER HATS
seen at rural resorts are combinations of
lace and muslin. Dainty hats of consecu-
tive ruffles of lace, beginning in close gath
ering at the center of the crown and reach
ing to the edge of the brim, are made up on
a net frame. The muslin hats are OF soft
cotton or Of silk null, shirTed on
wire and shaped in the making, the
muslin doubled and forming a narrow
rutfle at the edge of the brim. The pro-
jecting bTim is now seen in the hats of the
straw braid, but more frequently they are
an oval plaque, bent to the scoop shape, SO
as to shade the face more certainly. The
trimming is a large, radiating bow of soft
groS-grain ottoman satin or velvet ribbon
of black, white or some delicate color posed
Immediately on the top, and the loops con-
fined around the crown with gilt pins hav-
ing large heads or with the common toilet
pins concealed in the loops.
LARGE POKE BoNNETS

the rough satin and the rough and ready

well as these, enter into the shade hats,

COMMAND ALL ATTENTION.
Some of them have wide. fat brims il
front, rounding off and getting narrowe
toward the back, where the brim hardl,
exists at all: others have the fat brim
equally wide all the way around, but turnet
up against the crown at the back; other
again have the brim set obIiquely or turne,
up on one side only. The fiat brims ar
generally combined with high crowns On
style has the brim bent down at the side

face when she has one of these hats o.
hardly any hair is visible, even if she doe
not adopt the new mode of no fringe.
