That's what the Newport and Narragan-
sett girl has been saying to herself. And
THAT'S why she decided to make red one
of the features of the coming season.
Clear, bright, startling red-nO quiet,
dark shade. But red redeemed by the
lightness and gauziness of the fabric.
the summer red gown must wave and
float, never hang in firm plaits or folds.
The sheerest muslin is the favorite, and
the great hotel parlOrs will, before six
weeks have passed. glow with warmer
light than candelabra give, since 1t IS in

color will be put.
But more retiring maidens will content

Embroidery of course will be a promi-

gowns. Entire yokes or bodices, or deep
hip pieces, or broad bands at the bottom
Of the skirt, or fans set in to spread the
skirt at the bottom, are all in general
use. OF course they are made over a

quently Numbered.
A pretty costume Just finished has the
entire bodice covered with fine, open en-
broidery, showing just few inches of the
dress material above the belt The belt
is a crossed and gathered one. Below it
there falls another deep embroidered
piece, finishing in a sharp point in the
center Beneath this the skirt flares out
by reason of box pleats that begin in
points but widen out into good-sized folds
before they reach the bottom. The sleeve
has two short and full pufs.
The dropping sleeve, by the way, does
not look so pretty in the summer materi-
ais, therefore, the short pufs are much
more popular. The puffs are often fantas-
tically caught up or banded by narrow
ribbons, or folds of the material, if it be a
gauy one.
Another simpler summer gown has a
plain skirt and bodice, with pretty ad-
dition over the bodice, consisting of a
small tight-titting jacket that fits closely
in al the sides, and falls in short and full
gOdets over each hip. The whole thing is
very small and is well open in front with
the line of the front quite straight Two
broad and short revers point over the
sleeves made of delicate embroidery
This costume is all in linen-the dress in
white and the small jacket in dark blue.
Some of the linen costumes are fanci-
fully and almost anonymously adorned
by fronts of handsome lace laid over rich
satin. The simplicity of the linen is in
I odd contrast to the richness of the front
Simpler fronts are of accordion-pleated
soft silk in any light shade, with stock
collar. Two, if the lace is wide, or three,
if it be narrow, rows of insertion, fall
| loosely over the pleats. These are at
tached to the sleeveless bodices, with the
: cool, white linen backs, and they look very
! charming with any of the duck linen, or
, even cloth suits. They are so easily made,
and fall so gracefully, that they will

pretty with one of these fronts in pale
