FASHIONS AT SARAIO
Travelling Attire Morning Dresses
Afternoon Costumes-Fancy Waists
Fiehus-Hair Dressing.
The Saratoga belle is not afforded
any special opportunity this season for
display, as regards her travelling at
tire; a long, black silk Surah garment,
or Z golf cloak lined with bright-col-
orsd plaid silk aud hood Of the same,
or an ordinary sailor suit" are the
three styles from which a choice mus:
be made. Golf cloaks possess the
charm OF novelty, although rather
warm for car use; they are, however,
admirably adapted 70 boat travelling.
Breakfast toilettes Of soft silk, crepOn,
challi, or silk crepe, enhance the
charms OF tall, slender figures;
the shoulders, neck, aud arms
oftentimes yelled 10 lace or
pltfs; satin, MORE or velvet
bslts, or half-tight ribbons, being about
the only distinct outlines; and Eomely
indeed must be the woman who is not
charming in these delicate, coowe0 fab
RIGS. Lace capes, SO large that they
might be clasSed as fchuS, sometimes
droOp below the belt at the left side,
and are fastened there 0y Rhine stone
buckle or a knot OF MORE ribbon.
Large, double bows with a buckle at the
center, at either back or front Of col
lar are very stylish on negiigee costumes,
ana although black, white or cOlOred
silk Illusion bows or rOSettes are newer,
this fabric is so perish80ls that 1t be-
comes very expensive.
wArTEAU FLATS
still continue in vogue, and combina-
tions Of black aud white checked silk,
three box plaits at back and front form
ing 3 yoke, with mOire black ribbon
bows on the shoulders and black MORE
sash, are pretty illustrations OF the fast
growing popularity OF checks. Very
small blue and white or pink and white
checks combined with white a!batroSs,
make charming morning dress, con-
trasting "baby ribbon" or velvet ribbon
run on accordion plated rufing around
neck and sleeves. An Illustration oil
how largely black chiffon may be used
with colors, was seen on the veranda OF
the Grand Union in breakfast dress Of
lspDett, with white ground, black zig
rag threads and narrow pink stripes.
A two inch wide chiffon plating IS
around the skirt, with black beading at
the centre through which pink "Oaby
ribbon" is run, and a large black chiffon
rosette is on the skirt al the right side,
about half way down. The full waist
has a pulled black chiffon yoke, with
very narrow straps Of lappett between
she puffs: Spink ribbon bows without
ends at front of yoke, on each shoulder,
A. back OF collar aud belt; sleeves fall
ing loose TO the elbow with black chiffon
trimming on cuffs.
THE DEMAND
FOR white or colored pin-dotted Swiss
muslirs can scarcely be exaggerated.
Rows OF narrow tucks az back and front
OF round waists affording some variety,
seven out OF ten dresses being made
with round ralsts. A beautiful pink
silk bingham dress supplied from the
weIl-known house Of Lord & Taylor,
and worn at the states by prOmi-
nent Baltimore belle, had three rows Of
black lace insertion let in around the
skirt, and five rows OF SINH
lar insertion on waist at both
back and front, and three rows in the
sleeves with black MORE collars aud
belt Another very pretty pink COS
tune Is OF muslin throughout with a
box plating TWO inches wide on the
skirt and from under a black velvet belt
fall four graduated velvet straps, not
Il. nd aAv b
narrow white lace. The full waist has
q yoke tucked 10 front, velvet belt and
collar aud on the pulled sleeves, and
lengthwise straps OF velvet edged by
lace and velvet loops are set quite close
together in the armhoie.
tbs MOST EXPENSIVE
dresses, however, are reserved for after
noon or evening wear, elegant silks.
with paraS0IS OF white or pink chiffon
puffs or rufles, with a touch of black
on the handle are seen In great num-
bers on afternoon drives, and in reserve
for any unexpected change Of tenn
perature, are superb lace and MORE
capes, or light cloth jackets with TCUerS
and collar OF checked tsiieta silk in
black or colors; and not inireQuenttY
chine silk parasols match chine silk
waists, worn with black or light
wool skirts. Checked tatfeta waists
with cross stripes and folds over the
bust are very chic for evening; full
chiffon waists over col0red silk Innings
maintaining their hold on general pOpu-
larity; many faShiOuistS preferring
black and white checked silk skirts and
sleeves with black chiffon waists.
Fichus or all kinds are very fashions
ole, particularly the Marie ARtoinette,
which crosses az the front and ties at
the back or side with hanging ends.
Many white or col0red dotted muslin
fcnuS are seen at breakfast, while those
of black chiffon or net and lace are
suitable for very handsome afternoon
or evening dresses.
GENERAL FLUFFINEss
still remains the essential point OF ar
Psyche knot no longer reigus supreme,
It's mantle has fallen upon pufTs or
twists, which are not wholly dissimilar.
The figure $ seems 20 meet present re-
QuirementS 10 great extent, or any
other soft. hait-loW arrangement for
morning is equally acceptable, so many
hats requiring knot or coil 10 the al
most universal absence OF strings. For
evening high co,Jures are popular,
small combs being preferred 20 pins:
and bangs and side waves fall imper-
ceptiOly together. FANNIE FIELD.
