White and Fancy Shoes, Louis
Ouinze Goats, French Rid
ing Habits.

TIE display of wealth and fashion at
Newport, rivals, If not exceeds that OF
Saratoga, but here there is more solid
ity about it, and not so much "dress
parade" as at the latter place. There
is also more variety in the way OF
amusements, and bathing as we'll as
horseback-riding diversity the time OF
pleasure seekers. Charming break
fast wrappers are of plain pink, blue, or
white China silk, having double row
uf shirring at the waist instead DIVA
belt, and sometimes the shirring forms
a slight point at the back and front,
with cluster of long loops of ribbon
placed at the waist and small bows at
the wrists. Either white or black
lace is used in any graceful, pretty way
around the neck and sleeves according
to individual taste. Crimson challies
are appropriate for cool mornings, and
a particularly handsome one had yoke
and cuffs of very fine white embroidery,
with large black velvet bow on the
right shoulder, and the ribbon carried
under to the left hip and fastened
there with long ends.
AMONG THE BEAUTIFUL ToILETTEs
worn at private party given in honor
of q st. Louis belle, was white SATIN
barred tulle, draped over a princess slip
of failIe and brocade. Another very
handsome dress was of white net, cr-
namented with flowers and leaves in
cut crystal, with satin-barred India
muslin in combination. A graceful
young married lady looked very love-
| ly in her trained bridal dress of white
corded silk, decorated with tea roses,
while the hostess wore a dress of white
faille francaibe, trimmed with cut
crystal ornaments in applique. and hel
sweet faced young daughter appeared
in pretty little Russian gown OF rose,
pink silk, with guimpe of silk-dotted
crepe lisse. The most beautiful dress
at recent hop at the Casino, was sem
up for che occasion by Lord & Taylor
of New York city, and now the admir-
alton of all feminine hearts, Mousse
lline-de-soie, of a pale rose tint, bro
caded with scarlet pomegranite bios
SONS and moss green foliage, was the
material; made over satin of very
delicate shade of pale green, its sheer
but family showing beneath the airy
silken folds of the transparent muslin
Shoes are supposed to match the cos
tune, and such Is the popularity o
white dresses; that a fine white canvass
shoe tipped and faced with white per
forated kid, has been brought out L
meet this special demand. Black
patent leather is still very fashionable
also the different shades of gray and
brown, and handsome varieties are ir
these plain colors, tipped and trimmed
with patent leather. For ball costumes
white and colored satin slippers arr
used, and in costumes where gilt is al
accessory, gilt slippers may be worn
but they are too much on the foo
light order, ever to become general!
