When fashionable women want to
array themselves very effectively and
artistically for Afternoon festivities at
Newport or Lenox. a favOrite gown will
be the Maria Antoinette, which is con-
.spicuous for its frilled chiffon fchu
crossed below a V neck. with the ends
knotted In the back and for elbow
sleeves finished with SaUot frillS. The
dropping brimmed Vatican hat. with
the crown one mass of roses and yiOlets
mingled with their foliage, is the hat
chosen for such a gown. 1t is as gro
tesque as possible in green straw lined
with black. with crown of pink roses
apparently tied with bow of black satin
ribbon and with jaunty chOuX on either
side under the brim.
A fancy has started with considerable
impetus for all red suits. These give
bright CLEAN of color to seaside walks
and piazZas, but they certainly look hot
in the city worn by a stay-at-home. So
few women can dress themselves i'll
such blaze, no one who is not exceed
lngly tall and slim with pale. clear COM
pleXion should venture. The hat is one
of shirred red chiffon of the plateau
order, and perhaps she has even decked
her feet i'll red shoes and her hands in
red gloves.
Too much cannot be said against this
use of red, green and lilac gloves. They

Three choux of satin, in different
shades, white, yellow and green, are
used in cream sailor hats to hold in
place twin tips of black ostrich feath-
ers. with carved tops. Rolls of black
velvet are also used round the crown.
Quite taking sailor is the one trimmed
with tan leather straps, buckling at one
side.
Garden party hats have waving brims.
caught up with butterfly bows OF black
velvet. Lyons tulie and rhinestone
buckles are features of the same.
White blazers, white parasols and
white wells are considered the daintiest

posing to active participation in sports.
Fine ribbed cotton hose in fast black

thread or silk.
Patent leather Oxfords are in favor,
as are black silk hose always.
