NEWPORT, Sept. 1.-There is more than
distinction between sarotaga and New
polt-there is decidedly difference,
At tie former, the constant effort at
display becomes almost oppression,
while at the latter, one realizes that
substantial and often immense fortunes
Justify the luxury exhibited in splendid
costumes, residences and equipages.
ADJUSTMENTS at Newport are also OF a
more varied character than those at
Saratoga. Yachting, bathing and horse
buck riding add their quota in the way
OF diversion; SO that the belle Of the
day need never lack an opportunity Of
appearing in new costumes. While the
severe English riding habit is still popu-
lar, the French habit is constantly gain
ing ground, and displays more variety
in style and color than has heretofore
been considered "qlhtO the thing"
There is u touch OF gold or silver Ralloon,
and French Guard waistcoat in gray,
russell or maize color, is seen beneath
the coquettish little jacket.
Yachting is favorite pastime here,
and in white serge suit, trimmed
with blue, polka.dotted challi, and
jaunty little yachting cap TO match,
pretty girl makes very charming pic
ture, provided no lines of time or sor-
row mar the fair cheek. Bathing suits
are universally OF some dark, subdued
color trimmed with wide or narrow,
blue or white braid, and vests are not
unirequently u stylish addition: the
fiaring colors OF last season having en-
tirely disappeared. 1t would be ditf-
cult to exaggerate the popularity OF silk
waists in polka dots or stripes for morn
ing, and those in plain white, pink or
blue silk, ornamented with feather
stitching. tucked yokes or chiffon ruff
ing and combining by gilt or silver belts
are quite as much in vogue for evening.
TEA GOWNS
continue to slime forth as marvellous
creations, and one of figured crepe de
chine, rich pink silk and green chiffon,
worn at breakfast given by promi-
nent society leader, was sent up for the
occasion by Lord 4 Taylor, OF New
York city, and elected universal adj
miration. Crepe dc chine, lined with
olive green silk, was the principal ma
terial, and each side Of the back breadth
was pointed panel of pink silk with
green chiffon shirred over it. The
fronts were OF pink silk, beneath chif-
fon; the sleeves to the elbow OF crepe
de chine, and the lower part deep
pink cuff and over it full shirring Of
chiffon. A box plated silk founce
about four inches deep extended around
the lower edge OF the skirt, beneath one
of chiffon. The neck was finished by
narrow silk and chiffon rutfles, with
point lace on the inside. A sweet, cool
looking dress worn at the Casino by
beautiful blonde from Baltimore, is OF
pale green foulard silk strewn with
large white daisies. The skirt
is shirred with one deep
white lace hounce, and the full
bodice is edged with similar lace. The
neck is open, ornamented witha turned
down collar OF lace, and the short lace
sleeves have high silk puff on the
shoulder. A broad ribbon, passed
around the waist and knotted at the
edge side, keeps the fullness in place.
Long white gloves and fine white can
vas shoes, trimmed with perforated
kid, are in keeping with the costume,
and the hat of white Neapolitan braid,
turned up at the back, is trimmed with
clusters OF white and green flowers fall
ing over the crown, and loops Of green
velvet. The parasolis of heavy white
silk, edged with lace. Another pretty
gown worn ut dinner party is OF white
camel's hair, the skirt having n deep
hem with eight rows OF braid above it.
The waist is q Figaro jacket OF white
silk, braided in gold and silver in
Moorish designs, edged with n grelot
fringe OF gilt and silver balls, over
slightly pointed bodice, fastened on the
left side under the jacket The bodice
is of cancels hair in the back, and bias
striped chiffon in front, with full chif-
fon sleeves md braided silk cuffs.
Satin ribbon is folded around the high
collar, and on the edge OF the bodice,
with full rosette at the back.
PARAsoIs AND SHADE HATS
afford great scope for the exercise OF in
dividual taste, and with black lace or
grenadine dresses, white parasol and
white hat, constitute true style. Point
lace parasols are elegancies that belong
exclusively to the wealthy, but those OF
white pongee, hrocaded silk or chiffon,
are used with very handsome costumes;
not forgetting the quiet elegance Of
black Spanish hand-run lace, black
French face over color, or a combina-
ton OF lace and chiffon. 1t is not UNI
usual for Newport belle to consider
n dozen parasols and rs many hats
necessary to her comfort, and certainly
they give charming vari-
city. When the dress material
is short with pink or blue,
nothing is more stylish than a silk null
hat, or a Gypsy with its graceful, un-
dulahng brim; refreshing variety in
contrast to the "everlastingly" turned
up Leghorns. For young girls the Vas
sar Sailor distances all others, and is II
terror to the middle aged, as no dotted
wells or devices Of any kind will supply
