Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
SARATOGA, Aug. 16.-There is great
deal of poetry in some of the gowns worn
here by young girls, notably those of
very sheer white null over underdresses
OF rich embroidery. The best finish Is
long sash of soft China silk with fringed
ends, though belts and rosettes are
fashionable and the shoeB and stockings
may match the sash or belt il colored,
though white undressed kid with black
patent leather tips is always en- regle with
white dresses and where the sash or belt
Ia white, Shoes to correspond with only
the admissible touches OF black patent
leather are obligatory il one wishes to be
strictly stylish. Thin fabrics over silk are
seen in great numbers and among them,
the new sprigged muslins arc notioeAbly
pretty, though after all, no style OF dress
has quite the simple poetry OF those first
mentioned. In all dresBy gowns for young
people, the necks are out low aud this
has brought about demand for neck
laces of gold beads which give just the
right touch of adornment.
ENAMELLED JHWELRY
is extremely fashionable and doubtless
largely due to the orchid rage which has
set before the eyes of workmen for their
imitation, the most varied, beautiful and
striking examples In the horal kingdom.
II valry among competing jewellers in
the midst Of such rare models has in
duced q wonderful perfection and but
for the costly fash of super.added gems
the spectator might mistake the colorinRs
laid on metal with such skilful touch, for
the still lovelier but more perishable
works CT nature. Some Of these enam.
elled orchids are quite large and truly
gorgeous in combinations of hue, but
where the hand that placed them has
been SO cunning, excess in tone Is readily
forgiven and embedded in soft folds OF
lace or other fine fabrics, such pro-
nounced PRODUCES of art excite only ad-
miratIon. Other flowers of less preten-
tion such as chrysanthemums, morning
g g'ories, nasturtiums or pinks, 10 say
nothing of the almost standard clover
leaves and daisies are beautifully simu-
lated in enamel while the curious posi-.

render them objects OF attention apart
from their comparative novelty. Coming
of delicate pink color and In odd
shapes, they are added to in gold until
such little ohjscts such as fishes, birds or
insects are obtained which from time to
time nestle cuuuingly Ia the folds of
drsssy lingerie. They give change and

Or is it kugsian? Doubtless a favor Of
both, but the fact is patent that the wear
Ing OF fur capes is specisl feature In
place lie and q fashionable
lady would sooner cut short her supply
of dresses than anticipate piazza evenings
without the adjunct OF at least one fur
garment about her shoulders. The study |

since there is no change ensuing between
log day and tbermomIsLer- below zero |
styles, and the observer in this depart |
nent is sure of his or her ground for |
months TO come. O. o. Shayne, the |
loted Flew York furrier VINO has set the |
styles at watering places since summer
'urH came into vogue, hns given choice |
lmong d tferent shapes such as the Henri |
,tte, Lillian, Queen Anne, Alva, Alpine or
Reifa, the two last being especially in |
'avor among leaders of fashion. In col
ars there is also much variety, since
some are standing, others rolling
md others again reaching to
greater or less distance down
Inc front, some extending all the way,
but without exception they are made to

weather, with capabilities OF being drawn
