are made up of coarse paillaSSon straw OF
rushes, while high-crowned. broad-brimmed
hats may be composed of the finest and
most transparent lace straw. There Is no
rule in the matter. Transparent straws are
less often lined than they were. especially
as far as the crown is concerned. The
trimmings remain much what they were a
month ago-that is to say, feathers and
flowers are equally favored, and ribbons of
all sort are maintained with such thin ma
terials
THE POLISHED CHE Elk OF BEAUTY
at the seashore shows shade of becoming
tan. Girls who sit Oh the rocks very much
consider hammocks effeminate. There is
no brace-up to hammock, you know.
Among effective dresses are those of regu-
lar old fashioned Dolly Warden patterned
organdie lawns, with delicate grounds of
pink, buff or pale blue strewn with roses
and other gay blooms. AS these fabrics are
not warranted to pass the test of the laun-
dry, as they cost but little yard, the
French caprice is to trim them with black
lace and make them wearable for one sea-
son alone.
Wash fabrics, so-called, lovely crinky

and foulard silks, and trimmed with cream,
gray. tan, tinted and pure white Mauresque
and Egyptian laces. and ribbon bows and

are not cheap. but they are pretty and novel.
and everybody is hauling up novelties in
dress now. At garden party a handsome.
snowy girl was clothed in sailor dress of
the darkest blue china silk, with the small
est of small cardinal red anchors embroid-
cred all over it. The skirt of the dress was
made full and plain. and was Topped up a
little on the left hip, showing a cardinal
red silk skirt beneath, which was also per-
fectly plain. The waist was made sailor
style. of the blue silk, left open over red
silk vest in front, and only caught together
at the waist There was broad sailor col
lar and cuffs of cardinal red and a soft red
| silk sash tied loosely about the waist. Each
end Of the sash was gathered together and
| weighted with golden anchor. Certainly
the effect of the costume. and of the beauty
who wore it, was most brilliant. Another
| lovely dress was worn by
| VERY FAIR BLONDE.
| She was in blue and white. The lower
skirt was of white camers hair, braided
deliberately with white silk. The overdress
was in soft white camerS hair, BRAIDED in
blue silk braid to match the lower skirt A
blue vest braided in white, and little,
close. fitting sailor jacket finished this dress.
| The wearer had on white sailor hat, tied
about the crown with bright-blue veil,
which was fastened on one side with dia-
mond star. Another young lady, with a
handsome head of hair. looked remarkably
well in soft, silky dress in pale-violet
shade. Here came my brown-haIred lassie.
L think she matched her eyes when she Sc
lected her dress; at any rate, it was just
their color at times. Don't think that the
| dress changed color; the eyes did that. 1
was almost tempted to think they were
green at one time. but then, perhaps, they
were only rejecting the color from the
ocean. Or it might have been that she saw
some costume that she thought prettier than
her own. / have heard somewhere that
Jealousy was green-eyed. She need not
have troubled her lovely head about that
either, for her own costume was very pretty
and she looked well in it. 1t was soft
gray silk, studded with pale-bIue stars. The
skirt was gathered full about the waist and
feel in straight, graceful folds to her feet
The waist was cloSe-ftting, gathered into
the belt, being left open from the throat to
the waist, showing a soft white null EN-
broidered chemisette. She wore, tied about
her waist, what looked to be a silver rope
A light-gray straw, in the shape of a sailor
hat with soft white scarf and three dash
ing white wings on each side, made up the
hat.
AFTER A WEEK
at this summer capital find it hard to make
up my mind which is the ruling God OF the
idlers here, Hymen, who is at work among
the young people making matches, or Mer-
curry, who presideS over the games of chance
that make this place an American monaco
Since marriage is such fearful gamble,
perhaps the whole business comes under
one head. At any rate, l have pretty nearly
settled it that whenever you see two persons
together on this beach they are either think
ing about marriage or love in some one of it's
many forms, or else they are talking of
losses or winnings at the gaming houses or
the race course. Of course | am only an
unsophisticated young woman, and may be
mistaken, but to my mind Long Branch is
pretty tolerably lively place. 1 should
think it would never do for a young man
to try to paint it red; it's so red as it is. It
would take a pot of bright vermillion to
make any impression here. And as for a
girls trying to paint the place-well, it
makes me Shudder to think of what she
would have to do.
Now, saw young girl paint Atlantic
City last week. 1t was easy enough. She
was very proper sort of girl at bottom,
you know. only she was lively and did not
care to take back seat when she was cut
loose from the restrictions of polite society
at home, and in for a frolic at the seaside.
SO SHE FLIRTED
like sixty, and had the youth of the oppo-
site gender half beside themselves. She
tried to be matrimonial in everything, wore
checked silk stockings, and managed that
everybody should just get hint of the
fact by the way she sat down, or threw
herself in the hammockS, or paraded on the
board walk in the wind, or ran screaming
from the treacherouS wavelets on the beach.
She turned in the edges of her waist down
to the second button, so as to show whiS-
pered suggestion of her pretty neck, and
she wore shorter skirts and sleeves and
| pantalettes TO her bathing dress than any
other girl on the beach.
Well, she cut quite a tiger at that con-
sentative, old-faShioned girls, and the en-
viOuS other girls all used to call her ''the
miss with the pot of red paint" while tine
young fellows simply spoke of her as 1.-The
daisy" But, Lord bless you, she would
have dropped out of sight here at Long
Branch. Such ''goings-on" as hers would
be deemed very quiet and ''poky'' here.
This year shoddy has captured the beach.
