Riding, driving OF yachting being favor
lite amusements at this Paradise of sum
| mer resorts, white parasols and white
shade hats outnumbel all others: touches
of black, however are noticeable in the
trimming Of Leghorns OF chips Black
| ostrich tips OF jet ornaments are placed
among towering ribbon loops, lace barbs
or other light materials and mixed
black and white straw trimming edging
black velvet ribbon, is very popular.
YACHTING CAPS AND SAILOR HATS
are equally stylish. the former often hay
ing an embroidered anchor i'll front and
two similar ones on the jacket; or a hand
some gold band is preferred when gold
braid trims the suit. Sailor hats are now
more fully trimmed than formerly and at
recent coaching party, Miss Gushing. of
New York City. wore a black sailor hat
with yellow surah silk crown. and clus-
ters Of buttercups. While many coloreG
cutting suits are seen. white is considered
most elegant. and a few days since, MI
Harry Whitney drove out some friends
on his father four in hand coach. Miss
Havemeyer being among the number
wearing white moose cloth dress, trim
med with bullion braid. having white silk
blouse and sash finished of with bullion
fringe, white sailor hat and white Grape
rarasol.
EVENING DRESSES OF INDIA NULL
trimmed with lace are lovely, and one
Worn at a dance given by Mrs. W. c.
Whitney. was OF null made over prin-
cess body of gold and blue silk. the en-
tire foundation being covered with null
bertha falling from the wearer S finely
formed shoulders. Another charming
dress of silvery-pink crepe de Chine, was
tri mined with exquisitely fine lace flounc-
ing in Venetian patterns. Lace is the
great feminine weapon of the season, and
frills or furbelows of all descriptions must
be delcately perfumed; so thus it comes
about that no toilet tray in this fair city
is without Murray 4 Lanman's delicious
Florida Water, and another way of using
it, is to spray hangings, rugs, ed-linen,
ETC., producing a charming fragrance
throughout; most refreshing during warm
weather.
SKIRTS OF RIDING HABITS
are very much the same as those of last
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
hal and tie to match, look very jaunty.
The tall beaver has not disappeared, OF the
stiff shirt front and tie with short ends.
The latest adjunct, however, to linen
chemisettes, is three gold buttons linked
together by delicate Venetian chain.
IN BATHING SUITS
no difficulty exists as to choice, and stock
met or Jersey wool in white, navy blue or
black is a favorite material, owing to it's
elasticity and lightness. In addition are
ribbed silk, mohair, white, red, blue or
black flannel, white or blue serge. Silk
suits are most desirable, having full
yoke waist with ruff around the neck and
braided in red or white cord. White flan-
mel suits are very pretty, being made with
a shirt waist laid in plaits, sailor collar
and skirt of striped flannel, white draw
ers, 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 OF sleeve buttons are, however, neces-
sites. Enamelled rosettes are simple
looking brooches, and screw solitaire ear
rings or slender bangles are appropriate
to any costume. Beautiful yachting pins
are pointed flags, enamelled in club or col
lege colors, and studs worn on similar oc-
casions are Of blue enamel with tiny gold
anchors, and this design is reversed by
blue anchors on gold ground.
