white chiffon, which she wore a-coaching
this season, having been the talk of the
day. She received her guests on recent
bright day in a striking costume of Pompa-
dour silk with lavender ground, trimmed
with absinthe green ribbons and white lace.
Her garden hat was big Vatican, with
brim of green faced with black chip, the
crown filled in with pink roses and their
foliage, apparently tied with a bow of
black satin ribbon. Butterfly bows of the
same caught up the sides of brim in very
coquettish fashion.
"A very charming piazza gown was worn
by Miss Kitty Cameron, being nothing less
dainty and costly than black silk null with
a wide daisy founcing, the daisies looking
as natural as those she wore in her corsage.
1t was made exquisitely with fall of black
lace founcing A wide girdle of black
silk was relieved by hip sides of frosted
gold Failing from the back of the yoke was
q Watteau bow of black insertion ribbon.
Her hat was large Leghorn, with soft
moving brim, trimmed with great pam
ache Of black and green ostrich feathers,
three of the feathers falling forward, two
toward the back and three along the left Of
the crown, the right side being left bare.
Some OF the Striking Costumes
There was gown of black foulard, figured
with an iris pattern in pink and deep violet;
there was . straw-colored Bedford combined
with pale blue velvet and rich old lace, and
an ecru silk with satin stripe worn with
Louis XIV. coat of hunting green velvet,
trimmed with deep border of ecru guipure.
Those just returned from Europe wore
cream foulards figured with fruit, which by
the way will be the material of the hand
aomeat uidsummer toilettes
The most striking of these, indeed the
dress of the occasion, was . satin finished
foulard, with . cream ground, shot with
pinkish pretty color and strewn with ripe
red cherries and their green leaves 1t was
made up with generous showing of green
velvet and cream lace, the lace being lined
with surah, shading from red to pretty
color. A puff of green velvet between the
frills of lace formed the foot trimming. A
green velvet corselet and elbow sleeves of
lace, knetted with green velvet were features
cream was one mass of lace and red cherries
Short Sleeves Are tho Rage.
Whether the scene is Newport rose
party, or Hudson river garden dance, or a
Lenox tea, there is big display of bare
to the elbow with the thinnest pretense of
silk gloves. 1t helps give the flavor of old |
pictures to modern scenes and goes very ac-
in spite of the prudes, with low
V necks crossed with Marie Antoinette |
6chus aud big Vatican hats laden with |
roses, violets and orchids It does very |
we'll for the critics to dilate upon the pit |
falls of copying characters out of books and |
paintings, but who shall say that the same |
tendency does not add to the brilliant |
effects in dress? Short sleeves are to be |
worn even in day gowns at all the watering
places.
This is Joy supreme for the girl with an
,rm like Hebe or Psyche, but pain un-
for the swarthy, bony class.
A pretty arm and pretty neck with low,
sweet voice that sounds in ones ears as if |
is owner had drunk in the nectar of the
and what man cares if the nose is
lightly pug or the features bit irregular? |
Did say elbow sleeves? Yes, and what's
more these short sleeves are for the most
part simply knotted on the shoulders and
Ibove the elbow like the corners of hand
lerchief, with bow of ribbon, 80 that the
full rounded line from wrist to shoulder is
,nly broken by a loop and end. And if
ne material be some silken gauze and the
ilken gauze be black, from fair in contrast,
row irresistible is that CLEAN of iair, white
kin.
The Gloves Are an Item.
The new sleeves are not lifted, a. Of late,

ullnsss a. to droop in many folds toward
