SEA GIRT'S MILITARY BALL.
The ladies at Sea Girt have all been
greatly exercised about the great mill
tary ball, which is always the event of
the season. There has been talk that
it would not come off this summer,
but their fears have proved ground
less. The ball will be given on or
about September /, which is the date
set for the arrival here of the Massa-
chusetts Rifle Team, who have recently
established such wonderful record
for shooting in England.
Governor Green, of New Jersey, has
invited the Governors of several States,
including Governor Hill, of New
York, and Governor Ames, of Massa-
chusetts, to be present at the proposed
match As the Governors are ex-
pected to have with them their stats
as well as friends, the bali is sure to be
brilliant success.
A dinner in honor of the Governors
and rifle team will be given at the
Beach House.
Baseball is much played here, and
cricket-always q favorite game with
Philadelphians-receives a due share
of attention, there are so many here
from the Quaker City. Among the
fine players are Mr.. Long, who is a
member of the American Cricket
Club; DIR Frazer and Mr.. Jordan.
A fine champagne supper was given
here last Saturday by J. r. Hope, in

has been at Sea Girt.

Beach House, is a splendid swimmer.
William G. Park and his family

are of camDr med with Valen-
ciennes.
Irvine lace i'll pa ecru or fax grey
shades are very stylish trimmings for
coIored ginghams.
Scolloped strips and tips of black
patent leather trim many of the rus
set colored low shoes.
Among the prettiest hats of the
season are those of Inignonette green
straw, trimmed with striped ribbon of
the same shade.
Most all of the young women away
for the summer have with them some
detachable plastrons, sashes, giInps
and waistcoats, which can be worn
and varied with number of frocks.
Dark blue felt pokes, trimmed with
wide braid and stiff feathers, or
small wings, are popular for out-of-
town use.
Chatelaines of gold, with richly
leweled pendants dangling from the
numerous tiny chains, are luxurious
ornaments.
White, black or colored mohairs
make very servicable suits. They are
usually now made up with the skirt,
accordion pleated, and a flaring jackets
with deep revers, which is worn over
a tucked surah guimpe of any gay
color belted in with leather belt,
secured with deep buckle.
Some good port wine is wasted now
by the girls inundating their Russia
leather sandals with it, the idea being
that 1t gives them lovely tint.
One of the odd popular combine
tions is to have panels, revers, cuffs,
collars and surplice waistcoats of tan
color ON silver gray frocks.
Among the giddy bathing dresses
worn at Narragansett is one of red
mareen, cut in princess style and
low in the neck with fiaring front.
This is all filled in with finely pleated
white woollen goods, strapped across
at intervals with bands of the red,
with a large white button at each end.
The short pulled sleeves have the
frill on the edge kept in place with q
band of the red. A sash tied in front
with hanging ends is made of the
white wooden goods
One of the Elberon Young ladies
wears q pretty, cheerful seaside suit
walking about of a forenoon of bright
red China silk, with parasol, silk
! stockings, low cut kid shoes and long
undressed gloves all precisely of the
same shade. Her broad brimmed fine
straw hat of the same vivid hue is
trimmed apparently with an entire
hollyhock bush.
Miss Letter, the Chicago beauty,
affects this summer only the simplest
styles for her evening toilets at New
port. Fresh white tulle frocks
trimmed with ivy leaves and ribbons
of the same shade or garlanded with
roses, with sashes to match in color,
are varied with others of the same
material with different floral orna-
mentations.

Recipe for a Modern Novel.
Fron. Puck


Take pound or SO of foolscap, cut
into proper sizes, trim the edges
neatly and see that your ink is of
right temperature. Select fresh
young heroine of about 1870 pounds
(hero in due proportion and also
fresh), sweeten with domestic virtues
and sprinkle with artistic tastes.
Chop your sentences quite small and
garnish with ordinations, but do not
mince matters in the love making.
Let the story simmer gently toward
the boiling point, then take well
seasoned situation carefully re-
move all traces of probability, and
add to the mixture with plenty OF
spice. Pour into moulds commonly
used for this purpose. A little froth
skinned from other literature makes
an ornamental finish.

NYACK is DULL.
1t Has Been Too Wet Even for Bathing

by the Hudson's Side.
Special to the Sunday Morning Neics.
NYACK, August 8, 1854 week of
incessant rain has rather dampened
the spirits of pleasure seekers, and but
little of interest has occurred during
the week at this resort. There have
been fewer arrivals at the hotels this
week than usual, but many are ex-
pected the coming week. This place
is rapidly becoming popular with
those who enjoy the country in the
autumn, and those who have waited
until now to come will probably stay
until October. Nyack is very beauti-
full in the autumn, when the frost has
tinged the leaves with many bril-
liant colors, and there are as many
amusements during that time as in
midsummer.
BRILLIANT HOP AT THE YACHT CLUB.
A brilliant hop was given on Satur-
day night by the Tappan Zee Yacht
Club at their handsome club house
and an unusually fashionable gather
ing of prominent society people filed
the club house. A supper followed
the dancing, which was interspersed
with some fine concert and vocal
music. This is the second hop the
yacht club, which is quite young
one, has given this season and both
have been successful affairs.
PLEASURES AT THE TAPPAN ZEE.
Things are pretty lively at the Tap
pan Zee Hotel and every room is occu-
pied. Even the pretty cottage belong
Ing to the hotel property and adjoin-
ing it is crowded with guests and
negotiations have been commenced
by the proprietor of the Tappan Zee
to secure another cottage next the
hotel. On Saturday evening phan-
tom party was given instead of the
usualhop, and the deviation from the
general routine seemed to give a
pleasant zest to the affair. The phan-
toms proved very merry ones indeed,
and greatly enjoyed dancing in their
ghostly costumes. The music, which
was exceptionally fine, was under the
direction of Prof. Cranmer.
The numerous straw rides, ball
games and sailing parties which were
arranged for this week have all had to
be postponed until next week owing
to the inclement weather.
Among the recent arrivals from Jer-
sey City are Mr.. and Mrs. John Ed
wards, of Jersey avenue; Mrs George
Costigan, Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Mills,
Mr. John Carscallen and family, and
Mr.. and Mrs. William Britten.
