NEW PORT, Aug. IS, 1892.

NEW fORI, aug. 10, 1917.
Riding, driving or yachting being
favorite amusements at this paradise
of summer resorts, white parrasols and
white shade hats outnumbe all others
touches Of black however are noticea-
BILE in the trimming Of new Leghorns
or chips. Black ostrich tips or jet
ornaments are placed among towering
ribbon loops, lace barbs or other light
materials, and a mixed black and
white straw trimming edging black
velvet ribbon, is very popular.
YACHING CARS AND TAILOR HATS
are equally stylish, the former often
having an embroidered anchor in
front and two similar ones OH the jack
ct; or, a handsome gold band is pre-
ferred when gold braid trims the suit.
Sailor hats are now more fully trimmed
than formerly, and at recent coach
ing party, Miss Cushing ofNew York
City, wore black sailor hat with a
yellow surah silk crown, and clusters
of buttercups. While many colored
outing suits are seen, white is consid-
cred most elegant, and few days
since, Mr.. Harry Whitney drove out
some friends on his fathers four-in-
hand coach, Miss Hatemeyer being
among the number, wearing a white
moose-cloth dress, trimmed with bull
lion braid, having white silk blouse
and sash finished off with bullion
fringe, white sailor hat and white
Grape parasol.
EVENING DRESSES OF INDIA NULL
trimmed with lace are lovely, and one
worn at dance given by Mrs. w. c.
Whitney, was of null made over
princess body of gold and blue silk, the
entire foundation being covered with
null and fine lace insertion; an elegant
lace bertha falling from the wearer's
finely formed shoulders. Another
charming dress OF silvery pink crepe
de Chine, was trimmed with exquisite
ly fine lace fiouncing in venetian pat
terms. Lace is the great feminine
weapon of The season, and frills or fur
bellows of all descriptions must be deli
cately perfumed, so thus it comes about
that no toilet tray in this fair city is
without Murray & Lamman's delicious
Florida water and other ways of using
it, is to spray hanging, rugs, bed-linen
etc., producing charming fragrance
throughout; most refreshing during
warm weather.
SKIRTS OF RIDING HABITS
are very much the same as those oflast
season, and while brown is seen, black
and very dark blue are the preferred
colors. Open jackets are much longer
and colored shirt, with band on sailor
hat and tie to match look very gaunty.
The tall beaver has not disappeared or
the stiff sl;rt front and tie with short
ends; the latest ediunct however to
linen chemisetts, is three gold buttons
linked together by delicate Venetlan
chain,
IN BATHING SUITS
no difficulty exists as to choice, ana
stockinet or Jersey wool in white,
navy blue or black is favorite mater
iaI, owing to its elasticity and lightness.
In addition are ribbed silk, mohair,
white, red, blue or black flannel, wGire
or blue serge. Silk are most desirable,
having full yoke waist with ruff
around the neck and braided in red or
white cord. White flannel suits are
very pretty, being made with shirt
waist laid in plaits, sailor-collar and
skirt of striped flannel, white drawers,
I and long red, blue or black stockings
with cork soles set in to protect the
feet.
VERY LITTLE JEWELRY
is worn in summer; brooches, stick
pins, studs or sleeve buttons are how
ever necessities. Euamelled rosettes
or simple looking brooches, and screw
solitaire earrings or slender bangles
are appropriate to any costume. Beau
tiful yachting pins are pointed flags,
enamelled in club or colors, and studs
worn on similar occasions are of blue
enamel with tiny gold anchors, and
this design is reversed by blue anchors
on gold ground.
