of mother and daughter, If thought
necessary, in the trimming and cut.
One of the most comfortable as well as
picturesque styles, and worn by young and
old at the shore, is the full round skirt
circled with rows of braid in sharply con-
trasting colors. The waist is blouse OF
Washing silk in which the trimming color Is
represented; over this the convenient and
natty blazer made of the dress flannel. For
head covering cap or hat, preference being
given to the cap, and made OF hannel and
trimmed to correspond with the suit.
1t has been suggested that an ingenious
woman can take the skirt of such suit and
on that basis construct suits ior all sports in
which she NAV indulge. For instance: In
stead of the silk blouse she can sometimes
wear waistcoat with brass buttons and
under that a Henly shirt. Or, she may have
an Eton jacket OF white duck, though every
thing that will promote the interest of the
washtub is to be avoided If the expenses are
to be kept well in hand, and OF course she
will have supply of neckwear equal to
that OF her brother. If outing cloth is used
for these suits the cost is trihiLg, since the
best can now be had Tor II cents per yard.
This cloth comes in stripes as gay as awning
canvas, yellow and black, blue and white,
red and white in hall inch stripes, and none
too glaring il they seem at the waters side.
MUST HAVE A BLAZER.
There is a polka dotted twilled flannel,
more expensive, with white ground dotted
in gay colors. Frequently blazer, skirt
and cap will be made OF this, and the blouse
OF wash silk, either plain white or daintily
striped. And again the skirt and shirt will
be OF the dotted material and a striped
blazer worn with the same. There is no
getting along this season in either comfort

This is the argument that day after day
opposes the labor of women, and so many a
woman, detected and depressed, relinquishes
IN her overwhelming encouragement her
every ambition, and takes to any drudgery
that presents itself. Now and then some
indomitable character crops up and comes
dauntlessly to the front, and when she does

MULTUM IN PARvo,

And now for the "piazza gown" The
church or visiting dress at home supplies
this requirement, and whether lace, net,
India or China silk. it is equally en- regle.
II it is this years gown it is made with
high shoulders, surplice waist, straight
draperies. I. left over, good as new, from
last season very little brushing up will
put it in harmony with this seasons whims;
or if the purchase remains to be made,
mother will buy black lace, which can be
made to do party service, worn with low
lining and frightened with flowers;
and daughter would better buy plain
China silk which washes to look good as
new and than which nothing looks more
youth ul and summery. Such gown can be
made 10 do the service Of several. For in
stance, high neck, iull sleeves and full
waist with broad sash, lor the piazza; plain
sleeveless bodies, low-cut, for the hop; over
this tulle or other gauzy material, upon
which the changes can be rung in different
colors, pink, blue, canary, etc., and you
have ss many different toilets as you have
occasions.
Black is still popular for evening wear
and not confined to matrons. A black net
makes pretty evening gown for the young,
aad certainly is fine ioil Tor white skin
and renders sun-hurn less apparent.
But l must not mention more that would
be equally suitable Tor these different oc-
cssion or father will insist upon misunder-
ing, and say, as usual, it takes twice 40
much for the women ss for men.

To all such | want TO say this is altogether
unnecessary work and worry; you are need

slangy, 1 ave been there myself, and if
anyone had better time than had it was
not the woman with better clothes; and, if
anyone gained more flesh than did, then
her gain averaged more than a pound each
day. You will need less than half the
changes you think you will. You will not
care to join the dress parade once you are
there, for the majority of this class are
dressed decidedly above whisper and are

few seem to exist only to see the many get

honor Of being the best dressed. Therefore
that bewitching bit of breakfast fnery, all
ribbons and laces, so distinctively feminine
and usually becoming, has been superseded
by the plain, seryiceable blue or grav fan
mel for elderly women; and the gay outing
cloth that rivals the Stars and Stripes in
brilliantly contrasting colors for the more
youthful.

NO PLACE FOR RESERVE.

NO PLACE FOR RESERVE.
The most popular women at the shore, re-
gardless OF age or good looks, are those who
go in for all health-giving, mirth-provoking
sports; and the sprinkling OF gallapts soon
find them out aud they are always in de-
mand, whether for yachting, bathing, crab
bing, tennis, the rollicking hay-ride, the
dizzy toboggan or the childish merry-go-
round. Everything goes at the shore, and
while you do not now believe you will in
dulge In all these sports, my word for 1t you
will; and the more decorous you are at home
the more you will enjoy play there.
But about the clothes. As has been said,
the evening costume is the only one which
need cost YOU a moments serious thought;
and If you are of the kind that never intend
to grow old; if you have kept yourselves
companionable for your children, then you
have both given and attended evening a.
fairs and are more or less prepared. Pater
familias, your ull dress suit, like waters
sealskIn and solitaire, is always in style and
ever ready; your business suit is for travel
ing and general wear; you will not need one
more flannel shirt than you would il you re-
mained home. II you are very dressY, aud
hope you are, you will need, at home or
abroad, couple of silk shirts and an Ok
ford sash, which BY the way is not sash
but q wide belt of folded silk made upon a
foundation to fit your figure, which buckles
behind, and which is not the senseless thing
you upon first sound think il, but a very ar
tistic contrivance to take the place of the
warmer vest.
NOT TOO YOUNG FOR FATHERS.
In adopting the sash" you are not in
fringing upon the rights Of your grown-up
son, the fashion being too com ortable to re-
strict bv age limits. You will need also a
flannel blazer, for no one of either sex can
exist comfortably at the shore without q
blazer. This with a soft hat completes your
outfit and that of your son, who needs no
more, no less. Boiled shirts are admissible
only with the full dress suit. 1t is evident
the male portion of the family is not going
to encounter much additional expense Tor
the sojourn. Let me see if can tifout the
remainder OF the family as easily.
Mother and daughter are each going to
travel in their street suits. II they happen
to be of mohair they are all the better for
shedding cinders and dust, being never,
cooler and the most approved; but il
of serge, cashmere or any other all wool
material the good taste of the wearer will not
be questioned. The same hats that were
suitable for street wear with these suits will
be equally so for travelling. just here
word should be said ior that ornate evolu-
tion-the once unassuming "duster" or trav
cling wrap. The product OF this season
bears little resemblance TO the ill-ftting
linen thing Of the past in which we all
looked like 90 many pieces Of upholstered
