gushingly she asked him if he liked babies,
and hoped he did, because she was the
proud mother of the pootiest, tOotsiest
specimen ever born on earth.

for the express purpose of diverting his
mind from what may call the main issue.
''She is just as sensitive as a dollhouse
rose, and her instincts are those of phe-
nomenally acute nature. Pink is not be-
coming TO her complexion, but had slip

firSt-rate, and indeed was an outrage of @s-

taken. Within an hour she began to yell
like young Indian, and pronounced case

Thus the blow was softened to her ar
dent admirer. and, judging by their actions
together at Newport during the few days
after our arrival, she will be his wife
mighty soon.
Some of the tasteful costumes worn by
Newport girls at a hop were white ones,
made short and simple. A party of cot
tagers included blonde, who was prettily
attired in a white beaded corsage over a
silk skirt made with graceful draperies. A
tall brunette, with

was dressed in becoming gray costume,
with corsage cut square in the neck, and
adorned with bunch of pink roses. The
prettiest blue costume was made of soft
Grape, tastefully draped and garnished with
pink carnations; q garland of these were
effectively arranged around the edge of the
square-necked corsage. A graceful dancer
displayed pink and white costume that
was fresh looking. The drapery of white
null was not only festoOned with pink
roSebuds, but loops of ribbon were freely
used, while around the corsage extended a
complicated arrangement of tulle. ribbon
and flowers. For country and seaside wear
bright colors, particularly red, are much
affected. A good many of these dresses
are made of foulard in crimson, with white
spots, so small as to be lost in the general
effect. Plain silk forms the full chemisette
or sailor collar, with folded drapery over
the bosom. A vivid scarlet has plated
skirt and tunic, simply hemmed at the
edges, and blouse jacket, whose bands of
black velvet at the waist and throat seem
rather TO enhance the poppy-like effect. a
more dressy tunic has yelling of black
net, embroidered in leaves in crimson silk,
over plain skirt of the red tissue, and the
drapery of silk is hemmed up on the inner
side with black velvet, the folds being ar
ranged to show glimpse of black here and
there.
