A pretty dress which is Drawing the mists
of Long Branch and which holds its own in
spite of the dampness and the showers is
made of white flannel The skirt is per-
fectly plain and is gathered in bunch of
ian pleats at the back. The skirt is per
mitted to train only very slightly, because
the wearer evidently has an appreciative
sense Of the dirt which would accumulate
in one wearing upon the train OF a white
gown. the waist OF the gown
is CIT BLAZER FASHION,
with q vest of white China silk shirred in.
1t is made rounding in the front of the neck
and blouse shaped at the belt. This China
silk front is hooked IN under the blazer
which fasiens closely over it on each side
Of the front. Thus the waist appears to be
all one garment. Three rows of pale yellow
silk braid extend around the cuffs, down
the lspels on the front Of the REFER and on
the coat tails. The back Of the jacket is
laid IN close, fine pleats.
With this costume is worn a yellow straw
hat, sailor shaped, caught up at the back
with a bow Of striped gauZe and white chit
fon. Chiffon loops and ends are upon the
front OF the hat, and another bow of white
gauze ribbon completes the neadgear
White suede gloves, white suede shoes a
yellow silk parasol with white Dresden
china handle and several gold pins used for
ornament at the neck and along each side
of the vest front make the outfit as pretty
q one as the fashionable summer girl cares
TO wear for en- afternoon stroll.
Apropos OF the long skirt, some inventive
iressmaker thought Of a way of getting up
the skirts of gowns so that they would not
cost great deal. The principal expense In
buying dress is not so much IN the mater
ial as in the making. And the dressmakers
reasoned rightly that If some way could De
found TO simplify the making of the gowns
thst the profits would be much greater to
themselves. Moreover, the dressmakers
decided that IL avery simple way could be
found, that they themselves would not be
compelled to charge so much for the max
ing and hence women would have more
dresses, and general good would result all
around

in wearing it
ANOTHER WAY TO TRIM bat
for the seashore is to catch it up at the back
with a great bow OF white ribbon. Under
meath the bow put sprays of hllies-of-the
valley with their foliage. Let the lilies Of
the-v valley fall down over the top OF the
crown on the brim and let them also droop
at the back so that they fall down over the
hair. This is an extremely simple way OF
trimming a hat; and yet, upon an open
work or lace straw, it is found to be all
sufficient.
Neither of the hats described have re-
CURED any facing, but if so desired, the
brim may be lined with velvet.
Striped gauZe folded in small pleats
around the crown and arranged in huge
bow in front, makes becoming trimming
for broad faces. BY the side of the bow
smart bunch of wide satin ribbon arranged
in the form of a rosette makes pretty ad-
ditional trimming.
Seaside clothing, while not more expen-
sive than other dress material, requires
little more attention, because the sea mists
are so destructive to the welfare of feath-
ers and laces that one may look very shah
by and badly dressed, even with really
elegant summer outfit, If one has not taken
the precaution to choose the outfit with
special reference to seashore climate and
atmosphere.

enough down the skirt to be counted In a.
drapery. When the jackets are rather
short, it 10, perhaps, more becoming TO have
them of different material from the skirt,
merely trimming them with cuffs and deep
pockets TO match the general material. A
vest of hue to correspond with the skirt
or to CONTRAST prettily with 1t, makes up
stylish and dainty cos tune and gives an air
of one of the Louis to the general get up.
The Sodices are so beautifully moulded to
the figure now that it is absolutely neces-
sary that the undergarments should ut
quite as well as the waist, in order that they
will not crease and wrinkle so as to show
folds on the outside. Many of the new
bodices are made entirely seamless in the
front and also in the back, the only seam
being where the front and the back are
joined under the arms. An enormous
buckle or bow in front gathers whatever
extra fullness may be at the waist line, and
in the back there may be a buckle. bow OF
ribbon, or plain finish that requires moth
ing at all as an ornament
TO SECURE THIS SMOOTH EFFECT
which is so greatly in requisition, corsets
must be made to order, just as the waists
dress well have corsets to match each dress.
And these are specially adapted to each
other In size, shape and material. A corset
to be worn with a seamless cloth dress must
be very high one, so that 1t will not show
q line along the lower edge of the bust 1t
must also be of heavy satin, and il should
be of the same color as the dress, so as TO do
away with the necessity tor wearing an
outside corset cover.
For a white evening dress q white satin
corset is required, and it IS cut low to &C
commodate itself to the decolette waist, and
1t is likewise made Of rather soft steel, so
that the wearer is not rendered uncomfort-
able should she attempt to dance or indulge
In any other gaieties that may require
bending of the figure.
In every case both
HYGIENE AND FASHION ARE CONSULTED,
and no attempt is made to force the figure
into unnatural shapes. The day OF the
wasplike waists has gone entirely out. And
while woman may not care TO have her
waist as large as that of the Venus de Milo,
she is very careful to see that it is not COM
pressed so as to make her appear like an
hourglass.
The summer woman, who is after all
very sensible woman, has found way OF
carrying with her, not her bed, but her
camp chair. Attached to one side Of the
broad leather belt which nearly every wo-
man wears, there is couple of leather at
tachments that look very much like the
straps with which one lifts trunk cover,
and which, when properly applied, are used
for carrying q camp chair. The chair is OF
very light weight and is rather narrow, so
that when folded and attached to the belt 1t
is not so unwieldly as to be at all awkward.
A properly selected, light camp stool, close
ly folded and hung at the side, is no more
ungraceful than the large shopping bags
which many women carry.

What was the origin of long skirtsl is a
question that one hears so frequently asked.
Only year ago, or at best, two years ago,
skirts were worn rather short, being per-
mitted scarcely 20 touch the ground. And
now they sweep it for a foot in length
How did it happen. How did il come
ABOUT.
Well, it happened just in this way: Dame
Fashion is not such an inconsequential
dame as is popularity supposed. And when
she decides upon a change she generally
has some very real and very logical reason
for it. When the short skirts were worn
the basques, it will be remembered, were
extremely abbreviated. They were cut OF
almost at the hips, and the short skirts
looked very well with them. But just as
soon as the basques began to lengthen her
skirts began to iengthen also, because the
effect Of long basque and a short skirt
was most unbecoming, making a woman
hook stout, short and dumpy, deprlving it
of every atom OF grace and style which she
might ever have possessed. So as the bas-
aues grew longer, it became more and more
imperative TO make the skirts longer Also
and that is the way they came to their pres
emit fashion of extreme length.
When
JACKETS ARE VERY LONG,
it is far more becoming to have them Of the
same material as the dress, because the
division between the skirt and the jacket
soon disappears when the latter extends far

done thus: The skirt Of dress Is made en-
tirely without cores or seams, except for
one at the back, where the goods is sewed
together. The width of the goods is
used for the length of the skirt This can
only be done in materials OF very wide
width, such as cloth, tweed and woolens.

who have large hips and are stout, it is out

the women who were the demi-train. this
