the elevation of the carriage as TO
the stage, to tone down crude effect
into soft brillancy. Almost every woman
one passed was powdered, some thlckly
and unpeasantly. Many had darkened the
eyelasheS and brows and the hOllows under
the eyes. One pretty girl came to speak to
the occupants of carriage drawn up by
the walk. She was fresh and sweet and
fair and exquisitely dressed, but her lashes
were powdery, like miller's, except that
she had blacked them instead of whited
them. One sees enough of this sort of
thing in New York, but English fashion is
much more unpleasantly artificial. People
tell me that English women powder because
they take too much wine and it makes their
noses glow. At all events, 1t is not pretty.
The crowd was motley. but less so than
at Long Branch or Rockaway. AIRY and

London. The turnouts clanked with silver
and were gay with color as during driving
hour at Newport; the promenaders had the
lighter tone of NarraganSett Pier. while the
bath chairs and the Gonkeys and the cutter
rugged, often brown-Saled boats and the
heavy blue-greeu atmospheric tones, only
partially relieved by the chalk, lent piqu-
antly foreign tone. The women wore white
or a rich red mauve that glowed in the sun
shine, or canary yellow. or blue combined
with cream or gray. They dared contrasts
Of color that would be ventured by few
Americans. Out on the end OF the chain
pier was tail girl in wildly red gown of
thin silk that swathed her figure with
every puff of the breeze. Above this she
had buttoned smart white jacket, and on
her blonde hair was large hat-topped
black straw lat. turned up in front and be-
hind, the two flaps of the brim held together
ON the crown by a standing bow of black
ribbons.
Two women out of three wore their hair
very high and the nat or bonnet slanting
upward behind, with a spray of flowers or
lace butterfly so placed at the back as to
lengthen the head peculiarly in diagonal
line from the chin to the rear of the crown.
producing an effect that seems to be con-

was invariably belted and showed con-
siderable hounce of material below the
waist line, being in this respect much less
