Omaha daily bee., 1893-08-12

my stay here. They are all OF silk and
are tremendously smart. Today she
was in stactliugly handsome affair OF
electric blue moiro trimmed with fine
light jet garniture.
The trousers We're perfectly plain, and
didn't quite reach the knee. The skirt
was also plain, and stuck out rich and
full from the waist.
The bodice was beautiful, being close
fitting in the back with a full vest in
front between the bretelles of jet that
extended over the shoulders and down
the back. The full vest was cut low and
finished across the top with band of
jet. The sleeves were large pulls with
bands Of jet about tho arm, and the
corsclct was also OF Jet
Electric blue stockings were worn and
on one leg, just below the knee, was a
Jet garter Tho girl had black hair and
wonderfully blue eyes, set deep under
long black lashes There was remark
able expression about them, u little trick
of looking out at one side ut you with a
sweeping glance from undor the splendid
lashes Her skin was white and fine
and there was a sweet tingo of rose in
her cheeks The electric blue of her
suit, set off by the sparkling jet, was
revelation, | assure you, and there was n
good deal of staring at her as she sprang
out of the water in state of wet love-
illness.
1t is not every woman who realizes tn
effective possibilities OF motherhood.
The French clegantc has in bonne and
baby sympathetic background for her
own lovcliness, and improves every op-
portunity for making her offspring or
namentally useful.
But there is here just now a distract
ingly pretty young woman who has dis
tanced all competitors in this line, it
seems to me, and she makes the love-
lest pictures in the surf with her baby
boy, whom she fondles and tosses about
in the waves in the most picturesque
fashion
The small scrap OF humanity is bit
afraid and it is n pretty sight to see her
coax him in with her and then to have
him cling to her with his baby hands. She
dresses effectively, and is very attrac-
tive both in form and feature. She is
slim and graceful, and her arms are white
and beautiful; they show off WELL too,
when they are next to her baby's pink
flesh, and he has a way of grasping hold
OF their soft, rounded loveiiness that is
simply delicious to see. All the men
here are wild over her, but she seems
only to think of the small son who de-
mands so much of her attention.
Her suit is pale sea green, spotted
with black and trimmed with rows of
narrow black braid. 1t is cut low aud
| has short puffed sleeves, and the skirt is
plated in full plaits that set out jauntily
| from the hips.
Her hair is fair gold, and she does
| it up into dear little knot on the crown
OF her beautiful head, and there are q
| lot of sweet little curls at the nape of her
soft neck.
Tartan seems to have a very good
showing in bathing suits this season,
and when the colors do not run is par
ticularly effective.
One handsome suit in black had fash
| ionable revers and belt of the most bril-
liant plaids.
The skirt and trousers were plain, and
both very short. The bodice fitted at
the back and had a full vest cut rather
low and finished by plaid band at the
top. The revers spread away in deep
jints, tapering to the belt, and sailor
like collar crossed the back. The
sleeves were poutfs, and the belt was
straight and formed of plaid. 1t was a
gay costume and the stockings worn
were an effective feature, being black
and scarlet stripes.
There is a lovely young widow who is
turning mems heads here with her win
ming ways and sweet face. She goes
into the surf every day without fail and
wears one of the most fetching suits OF
all. OF course it is black, every inch OF
it, 1t is of silk, in heavy cord, and
has soft folded sleeves, crushed up about
the shoulders and made of the thinnes
kind of black China silk. There is also
gathered neck of this silk that shows
the flesh through it when wet, in {
lovely, fleeting way that is very taking
The suit has two skirts both very
short, and there are no trousers, long
black silk tights being worn after tho
latest imported mode.
When this pretty creature comes ou
of the water she shakes out her long
fair hair over her shoulders and sweep
it up two or three times through hel
hands in glorious masses as she stand
few minutes in the candor of the Nara
gansett sunshine for all to look and ad
mlre before she goes running up acros
the white sand.
