From Rochester.


touched with redeemed fingers has been an ideal
one, so delicously cool, with only now an then an
unbearabe day to prove that fair summer has not
forgotten her accustomed warmth of manner, but
has considerably laid it aside this year, much to
mans comfort and joy-that is, the average
everyday, go-away man. The poor hotel men
are sufferers, though With this cod short sea-
son have come few guests and narrowing pile of
unpaid bills, methnks. Mine host is in dispair
everywhere, but the summer girl fourishes, and
life just now to her consists of tulle hats, lace
dresses and russell shoes. Such lovely tea shoes
as the shops are displaying. Undressed kid ones
Chat are made of calfskin-the wrong side of
oalfskin, tbs said) come in all shades-russet,
blue, gray, red, and even old blue all broidered
with beads the same shade as the leather. One
is simply wild when contemplating Them With
these shoes one must wear mousquetaires of self
same shade. Red is most sought after, because
they are the hardest to find Russell are most
worn. For seaside wear, and especially yachting,
come very chic shoes of white duck with patent
leather trimmings
The latest thing in overgaiters Gone must wear
overgaters to be in style) are those in black and
white check or ones made of undressed kid. Some
ladies go so far as to wear yeritable copy of the
white overgaiter now so dear to the heart of dudsh
mankind.
Sailor hats still hold their own but the proper
one just now is very narrow and straight as to rim,
with narrow band of white about it, and looks
like nothing so much as hat of eye small boy
put into use by dashing elder sister. For travel
cling and general wear come soft felt hats,
knocked in at the top, with broad bands and SIM
pie quill or two at the side. Everyone wears
them, and they are in all colors.
Stylish s'tams'' for tennis and boating are made
of sort of angora wool, and are striped round
and round; blue and white, red and white, or
they come in solid coors.
Young girls are devoted to the English tourist
cap of striped goods, with peak back and front.
The most utterly English hat for ladies is a sort
of jockey hat of red and black, or black and white
check, or mayhap dark green The peak ap-
pears, but the bold look is somewhat softened by
the crown being laid on loosely and caught in
front into careless knot.
Everything in gowns will partake of the direc-
toire the coming season. Of course street CO.'S
tunes will only show difference by being fash
toned into long surtouts or loose coats, with
embroidered silken vests, broad lace collars and
immense buttons in old silver.
To be altogether luxurious these days one must
sleep on old silver beds, all silken hung, and be-
meath down comforts of pale-hued China silk
All the leading stores are showing such alluring
bed belongings; linen sheets, hemstitched and
heavily embroidered across the top either with a
flower or an appropriate motto, surrounded by

away in the daytime, and the roll, covered with
embroidered bolton or silk, substituted Then
the soft, warm blankets, bound and striped with
the newest shades and then those delightful sken

A leading brass house has put these silver beds
on the market, and displays odd conceits in fur
