THE ENORMOUS ROTUNDITY
of this seasons shade hat enables girl to
do without her parasol, but it is slightly in
convenient when her young man wants to
light a cigarette by her bright eyes, you
know. Embroidered cambrics betists and
satteens are made into very pretty dresses.
One of the most effective is blue cambria,
deliberately embroidered in red Sew
eral ruffies of embroidery trim the
skirt in front, the blue material
draping the back, and the basque of
embroidery gives charming effect. Pale
blue embroidered in white follows this
style. Chamberys in pink and white are
made with tucked skirts very full, and faS
tened to a gathered waist, making tasteful
dresses. This plain material is prettily
combined with striped goods introduced in
the basque and drapery. This season the
travelling costume must be simple and yet
have touch of originality. must be very
serviceable, while remaining cool and COM
Portable. Plain woods and woods in checks
and stripes are most used for dresses. If
checks and stripes are used they are black
and white, navy blue and white or seal
brown and white, and the round hat is COW

plain material to match. The more nearly

the present fashionable taste. The long
travelling cloak in use this year is the nuns
pelisse, gathered about the neck, with or
without hood, with sleeves that are either
very long and quite wide or only half long.
This pelisse is made of serge and is lined
with silk that is OF the same color as the
serge, or at most striped.

that people come to New York to see, but
a wooden beast like the more famous one on
Coney island. 1t is five miles from Atlantic
City, and the way to it is across dreary
desert OF sand and scrub trees or down the
broad, level ocean beach. The utter dreari-
ness and vacancy of the ride is what makes
it so very popular with the young folks.

meet with one vehicle or person in mile of
the way. so that if they sit very close to-
gether, holding one another up, as lovers
are apt to do. there is not likely to
be any gossip about it in town.
A great many young couples who can
well afford to take a carriage essay to
walk to the elephant On fine afternoons.
TO be sure, they never get to it, but they
get far away from the people and the
houses, and then if the young man holds
his sweetheart within the bend of his
muscular arm while both sit in rapt observa-
ton of the mysterious sea. no one sees
what is going on-and, really,i it is nobody'S
business anyway.
THE MOST HARM THERE IS IN IT
is that it is a terrible provocative of fibbing,
because the innocent, guileless maiden is
pretty certain to say that she did see the
elephant and to descant upon its wonders
and beauties, telling only what she has read
in the guide books. so as to delude her fond
mamma.
Ihe mammaS are very much puzzled by
this seaside mastodon. They hear so much
about it from the young girls, and are so
