The low-necked girl Is striking fea-
ture Of this summer, as she was Of last. |
She is present everywhere, and every |
where she is pleasant to look upon. |
This is perhaps more or less dye to the |
Jenness-Miller "dress reform" which |
recently went into bankruptcy-pecu-
niarily. She survives it, at any rate,
aud there is a classic suggestion in the
way her skirts drape around her from
waist to foot--a sort of clinginess-as In
the hnntress Diana. But thisis not the
distinguishing feature of the low
necked girl. That feature is her neck.
1t is very compelling sight, considered
merely as nature; and IL is rendered still
more striking by art, for around most OF
these necks is little gold chain, and on
most Of these chains there is little
locket cunningly adapted and poised to
rest in the hollow of the throat-a sort
of refrain for the harmony of the neck.
The low-necked girl, seen near or far, is
thing of beauty who ought TO be a JOY
forever. Old Burton saw something OF
her in his day, and in his atrabilious
way he has put on record the opinion
that she is an artful mink, setting fly
traps to catch meddlers. But Burton
lived and died melancholy bachelor,
knowing a great deal more about Greek
than about girl.

aud ali Olong the Toast from the Branch
to Cape May the bathing during the
past week has been delightful, with the
water warm and the outside atmosphere
generally agreeable. Ocean bathing /:
habit that grows like everything else,
and every year there are more who risk
the fOamY embrace of Neptune's mighty
arms. The hundreds of children seen
bathing alone is a feature, and very
many ladies who have not been in the
habit Of venturing into the water may
now be seen not only bathing with con-
idence unattended but swimming some
times out to the line.

Society people run to clothes, as a
rule. Early last week they ran from
clothes. They got rid of all they could.
The statueSque leader of a German
couldn't have been distinguished from
the presiding officer OF the button cOun
ter in a department store. Flannel
/ skirts, straw hats, no vests-there you
are. Nothing to do but attempt TO keep
cool. If by any chance there was
something that needed doing, it wasn't
done. Nobody had any use for any
thing but fans and trapped drinks.
