New York, July 15.-Once upon a time
the summer girl had dress for travel
ing, one for outing, one for yachting, and
one for mountain climbing. Now she Of
ten gets up a suit that will answer sever
al of these functions, and no one be the
wiser for it. How is this for an all
round costume, in which the girl will
look spick and span and suitable fine
dark blue sacking, turned up in deep
hem with several rows of stitching;
above the hem is a broad red band,
upon which are laid several rows of white
braid, so that the white and red alternate
evenly. The waist is white china silk,
made loosely; and falling from the finely
plated collar is a loose bib. The short
dark blue jacket turns back in revers
that are faced in scarlet, with the white
braid again alternating. Above the deep
hem of the cuff is the same trimming
which is charming in its nCatneSS and
brightness. In outing gowns, as in all
others, white and cream are the faYOrite
shades. The materials are plenteouS-
white linen, duck, linen Sacking; serge,
hop-sacking, f1annels, and a lew others.
The linens have a more limited field than
the wooden facrics, but this has not de
creased their popularity. They are so
delightfully."- cool that there is at least one
in every summer wardrobe. These are,
for the most part, of pure white ground,
lightly striped in pink or blue trimmed
with braids and worn with the thin silk
blouse or shirt waist. Some of the
more eKtravagant ones have much
lace on the bOdiceS The beauty Of these
gowns is that they laundry so perfectly
The linen sacking so closely resembling
the hOp-Sacklng, is commonly used for the
cooler suits, also, while the plain linens,
in the tan and dull blue and ecru shades
are often made up with satin trimmings.
For the all-rOund suit the material is
fine serge or SackinC, and the color often
est dark blue or white. The linen shirt
waist comes into play very often. In fact
one sees almost as much of the linen as
of the softer shirts in silk ana cotton ma

so much prettier and more fanciful this

colors-white and lavender, white and
pink, with the stripes separated b. MARI
row, open hemstitching. They are
trimmed with pretty little frilis and with
rutics down the front; and the linen is
often fiecked with tiny design that
takes away from its somewhat hard and
shining effect.
A white serge suit that stepped on a
pretty launch the other day, was worn
with one OF those lavender and white
stripedwdists. The lavender linen cuffs
peeped out from the white sleeve. A
small, straight white tie tipped the
whole.
