A group Of bonHetS.

1t is not the fashion to conclude a set of
remarks about Miss Hargous without allu-
slons to her amiable character; but as l
have more acquaintance with her face and
her frocks than with her amiability to ser
wants, must content myself with saying
that Miss HaVemeyer, the rival star of the
early season, Is Just as beautiful, though
she has not the others social experience
Miss Havemeyer being quite typical sum-
mer girl OF the arlstocratic order, here are
two of her costumes which may be taken as
representing the clothes of the month in
shower and in sun. Miss Havemever is n
tall girl, and as l saw her yesterday through
vista of trees and against the cushions of
hammock she appeared very tail indeed.
She wore chall;e dress of wool and silk;
that is, the ground was white wool and the
flowers OF faint blue had a silky luster
a deep border of the blosSomS-I took them

and scattered buds covered the draperies.
A blue ribbon sash was at her waist, and
her bodice was open at the throat and folded
across as shown in the illustration, broad
guipure lace edgIng the folds. Lace sleeves
showed white arms through their meshes,
and the wide white crlnoline hat was loaded
with plumes.

seroso contrast between Miss Havemeysr in
sun and Miss Havemeyer in storm, because
when II rained and blew the other day, and

seemed to me her cheeks were pinker and

generality OF her costumes Every Newport

uses 1t as a dust cloak when she drives and
as a spray catcher when she goes yachting.
Miss Hayemeyers ulster exhibited one of
the fashionable combinations of color; it
was shot red and blue, plaided with gold.
Do you feel the least curiosity about what
goes on in the Casino? Casinos are much
the same from year to year, but costumes
change. Here are few points jotted down
last evening. Nothing is gay enough yet to
warrant the bringing out of the reputation
making costumes, one or more of which is
supposed TO lie trembling with impotence in
the trunk OF each ambitious young woman;
but 1t is already evident that the point to-
ward which attention will be turned with
most strenuousDess Is the display of large
and bright-cUlored flowers and flower
wreaths and garlands upon toilets Of
elaboration. For example, Mrs. Ogden
Mills wore last evening brocade
which brought out in the best light
possible the fancy tor shot effects
IN which this summer every woman revels.

soimperceptibly as to give strange simmer
ing fleet like fading rainbow while, as if to
add some character of fixedness and per-
manence, the pattern was outlined with gold.
ms unique gown was made, as pictured,
with a f1Ounce of lace about the bottom,
caught up here and there with wreaths of
pink rosebuds made up with their own foil
age These wreaths, which were of good
size and yet so loosely and gracefully woven
as not to be heavy looking, were hung across
the whole front of the skirt, and above
them In the middle of the front breadth
were three other rose wreaths, arranged in
trefol and having leaf sprays trailing
from them to the garlands below.
