The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-08-16

OF reddish brown plated through it The
brim was turned up at the back and was
held in place by upright loops OF reddish
brown velvet ribbons. Resting on the
straight front brim were two or three long
stems of spotted lilies.
A second dress which walked up and down
among the bush hollyhOcks and the hedges
of sweet peas is shown in the first illustra-
ton. 1t was of pale blue India silk fiecked
with purple vl0lets, following the novel
combination of colors now beginning to be
so much in vogue. Broad bands of purple
velvet laid about the skirt in ZigZags accent
uated the contrast. The bodice opened in
Y at the throat, with velvet folds to border
it, and across the trout there spread itself
Observation-Disclosures tichu of the paleSt and
most delicate shade of blue. The white hat
worn by the slim pale blonde who did this
deed of color daring was trimmed with cius-
tiers Of violetS peeping out from folds OF pale
blue chiffon.
Almost equally striking was the other
dress shown in the same sketch; it was of
the paleSt shade of violet you see in the lit
tie garden perwinkle. A brilliant blonde,
rather tall and with the rose pink complex
ion so common with English girls and so
uncommon here, had adorned herself ana
the merry gathering with its straight simple
folds. At the waist it lay in narrow plalts,
and on the hips ii was caught up in small
paniers; Ii was made TO look rs II 1t were
pleased to fit her by gold brOcaded galoons
the hips in a fashion that was caressng,
though perhaps a thought snaky.
For the most part she went about with her
yellow curls bare to the sunlight, but when
she lifted her hat it was of white straw
with gauZe bow and Two Sprlgs OF peri
Wrinkle. Her parasol had a wreath of the
same flowers to edge its canopy.
Yachting feteS are Iretty to tell about,
and the one on Thursday afternoon brought
out many pretty gowns. The artist has
l-at nod ttvp nf han hao tha.r
several particulars different from the yacht
ing attire as usually worn. One of them is
OF rough sea- going serge, though its wearer
is essentially land-lOving maiden. In
spite of the large, loose blouse and sleeves
and the fuller skirt than dreSsmakerS have
been cutting. she will never let the jolly
boat take her aboard unless the day gives
signed, sealed and delivered pledges of con-
tinuing fine. The small vest, the belt and
the band about the skirt are OF white serge
braided with blue. The reverS of the turn
over collar are braided in white, and the
small blue sailor hat has straight band Of
white ribbon with a tie bow at the side.
The other dress is of fine blue summer
serge cut very gracefully. 1t has cutaway
coat bodice with loose fronts faced with red
silk The waistcoat is of red livery cloth,
braided with black. The sleeves are turned
UP to the elbows and faced with red, and the
underSleeYes are of red braided with black.
The regulation serge cap is very small and
natty.
One of the best time for observing the
summer girl as she exists at Newport is in
her hammock or piazza chair in morning
deshablle. The pale greens, the shades of
pink and of maiSe color, the loose folds, the
long sashes and wide sleeves make summer
neglige wear fascinating. Under the bios
soming trumpet creeper you NAV see, if you
look, as | did this m0rning. a pink foulard
spotted with white green peas The vest
it has been drawn for you in the third picture
opened on a chemiSette with lace fiounce.
The little " basques " were of red surah and
the sleeves had deep cuffs and high lace
jockeys. There was a plated Medici collar
and a sash of red foulard.
