NARRAGANsETT PIER, July l3.-Narra-
gansett is looking very bright and gay this
season. The roads have all been fixed up so
thst driving is good; and since the Village
Improvement Society has got in its work.
and built that 1000 feet Of walk on the
ocean front, it has grown very popular for
evening strolls On Saturday afternoon it
was pretty sight to watch the gay prom
enaders. There was such a protusion of
color and such an endless variety of combi-
nation that | could not grow weary.
One girl was startling in a bright red of
some gauzy material, polka dotted with
black, and big red gauzs hat Another
looked very pretty in long loose gray coat
that covered her whole dress, although
caught a glimpse of it as she walked, aud
saw that 1t was white silk. She wore low
white hat, white chamois gloves, and stock
ings and low shoes of the same spotless
shade. Behind her came a girl in pongee silk,
made up with tiny ruffies of bright green.
Then there was girlin fawn OF quite heavy
wool end with it she wore q sailor collar
| and turned-back cuffs of sheer muslin en-
broidered in blue. The next girl l noticed
had fawn skirt also, aud a lovely silk
waist of a faint beautiful blue-green shade.
A girl with very pink cheeks wore deep
old rose profusely trimmed with rich creamy
lace at the bottom Of the skirt, in long pan
iers on the hips, in full yoke at the throat,
and In big puffs on the sleeves.
A pale lavender was very pretty hanging
IN coat style over tightly gathered bodice
of black tulle. The sleeves had over puffs
of black, also, caught down with small
gold bands. A very queer gown seemed to
be made all of small flounces, pinked in
little points. The tight fitting bodice had
been almost cut away, except under the
arms and a little at the front near the
waist, and the space left had been filled in
with these little f1ounces, the top one of
which was fulled on high collar each one
grew narrower nearing the waist. and then
a wide velvet belt came up over. The
sleeves were made Of four of these fiounces,
| each one hanging loose, the lowest over a
velvet cuff This same fiounce arrange
ment was repeated on the hips.
A small, slender girl looked pretty in
| white nainsook, all rutfles and furbelows,
| and 50 did another in silver colored chiffon.
with dark blue silk sleeve puffs and dark
blue belt and collar.
A clear brunette trailed past, clad In old
rose foulard of princess cut, skiIlfully com
| bIned with moss-green velvet and Venetian
| lace The velvet was inserted all the way
| down the back falling in fine folds below
the waist line. A long, pointed yoke OF lace
| lay over it, and over this again q smaller
yoke of velvet. The sleeves were perfectly
| plain and tight-fitting, and puff Of lace Of
| a style borrowed from the middle ages,
hung over. The collar was lace, also. Her
costume was out of place on those shining
| sands, decidedly.
A pretty lowered foulard had a long lace
bow failing from throat to belt The bow
| had small loops and long pointed ends
In the eveninU [ mora GOWNS In a
big rocker on broad piazza,
| looked in one of the hotel windows
| and watched the gay dancers. l had seen
wonderful and gorgeous combinations
| that afternoon, but they we're forgotten for
the moment as l watched the pretty colors
going in and out through the figures.
The first girl that l picked out from the
bewildering maze was the simplest Of all
could let my eye rest on her quietly
| enough, for she hadn't bit of any color
in her whole gowning besides creamy yell
low. Her hair was particularly dark, and
her skin deli rately fair, at least from the
distance at which was sitting. Her gown
was made very simply, with the exception
perhaps, of n very sweeping train. The
gauze it was made of had fine silk
threads running through 1t in narrow
stripes. The only adornment on the
skirt was a tiny ruftie at its edge,
aud the bodice was simply gathered top
cred by a soft yellow sash, with ends
that stretched almost as far as the train.
and at the top it was finished by little
heafi. <. She wore % sleeves, Just shout
der puff, ID gloves TO match her gown.
Even tie flowers in her hair and at her
waist we're Of the same delicate shade.
Then my eyes were caught by q beautiful
pale green chiffon and gold passementerie
dress that a tall girl with golden hair was
wearing. The full plating at the skirts
edge was confined with gold colored rib
bon; the waist cut 10 wide V, was partly
covered by an over bodice of beautiful gold
passementerie, and sue, too, had nothi G
more than a high puff on the shoulder.
A girl posed in a daring attitude in an
easy chair near me, lorgnette In hand and
devoted admirer bending over her, wore
shining white with funny little streaks of
sunshine running all through j.. IL must
have come from some eastern land, for it
had a very foreign look aboGt it. 1t was
cut extremely low both back ard front, and
was caught up in queer httle folds here and
there, SO that the sunshine streaks came out.
should have liked TO see her dance, but she
didn't rise from that chair through the
whole evening.
There were a number of black gowns,
thin and sott-lookIng. and any quantity of
white. One set had four pale blue gowns in
it, all OF which are very pretty.
A great many Of them wore natural
flowers in their hair. Fine
wreaths of rosebuds. or faint
blush roses. now take the place of the Greek
band and ribbon bow. The low coil Is
adorned at the side with flower sprays. The
wreaths are made on fine wire and look
very pretty. Bugs and insects are still used,
put on long wires, that they move with
every motion of the head.
One maiden that | watched had her hair
fixed In a very sweet and ertless fashion.
I'm sure it was her first season, she looked
so pretty and shy. She was all in white,
too. Her hair was very short, reaching
only to the shoulders, and had a soft nat
ural wave in it. 1t was gathered together at
the back of ter head, aud intertwined once
or twice in a pretty, indefnsble fashion,
aud then allowed to fall loosely over her
shoulder. 1t was very charming, and all
the men there that didn't know her, cast
longing chances in her direction. She'll be
spoiled before long, very much fear.
