A RECEPTION DRESS
is of brocade in pink and green, with
pink chiffon waist. Independent waists
are indeed all the rage. There has
been only one annoyance in connection
with style of garment, the separating
of the skirt from the waist at the back,
but an ingenious little appliance called
the Clinton shirt supporter has recently
made its appearance and at once be-
came favOrite. 1t is easily applied
and when once adjusted, there is no
more trauble. A
GARDEN PARTY DRESS
worn by young lady guest of the Hill
ton family, is of pale blue crepe show
ing narrow white satin stripes. 1t is
made plain, with corsage drapery folded
over the bust. Belt and stock collar of
blue gauze ribbon. A much admired
dress is of pale pink satin with panel of
black lace set in on the left side: the
waist shows revers of black lace ever
satin and a most durable and at the
same time, handsome finish is given by
a first quality S. H. and NJ. bias vel
veteen shirt binding. Judges in such
matters, will indeed have no other.
since it remains intact and fresh, often
outlasting the garment, thus proving a
genuine protection and in marked con
trast to the inferior bindings that need
constant renewal by premature wear
and fading.
STRAW TURBANS
are recent introduction and trimmed
with fold of chiffon about the brim
aud loops on the left side, which act as
a support to two quill feathers or wings,
are a jaunty finish to morning costumes.
Rough straw hats with cl iffOn wound
about the crowns, are also in favor and
form marked contrast to elegant Leg
horns and wide hats of lace or shirred
null. Some stylish Leghorns are cut
out at the back and the brim drawn to-
gether, so as to throw the front brim
up with a flare. This necessitates the
placing of ribbon or flowers inside and
one worn by the Princess Hat2feldt,
has ViOlets under the front brim, with
q bunch Oh the left side surmounted by
: rich black ostrich tips.
, TENNIS
is quite in vogue on the lawns of priv
} ate villas and as the hot summer in
: vites thin material for dresses, wast
D silks have become quite popular. A
= young lady member of the Vanderbilt
t family, who is here for a short time
: recently wore one in this style, show
= ing blue and brown stripes on a whit
i surface. The skirt was plain as alst
j. the full corsage and the belt was whit
; canvas. The same young lady ap
a peared at an evening hop, in a dress o
e yellow gauze over yellow silk, will
e elegant sash to correspond and he
: dress on a morning drive next day wa
t. of fine white wool crepon trimmed wit
e white ribbon set in three rows aroun
