FASHIONS AT SARATOGA.


shows the prepOnderance of suits made
with jacket, skirt and full vest, or coat,
skirt and waistcoat Considerable variety
is seen in coats, which are long or short,
single or double breasted, full or with a
slight flare or buttoned either at the
waist or on the bust and quite num-
Der are cutaway like mans garment.
Jackets are short, with more or less full
ness and the blazer cut retains popu-
larity. A potent reason for the con-
tinuation OF these styles, is the great
popularity of colored linen, duck or
cotton corduroy as q material, since by
reason of GOODNESS, they can be worn
with comfort in hot weather, being
sometimes rendered more dressy, by the
wearing of . dressy waistcoat. Quite
elegant white outfits are worn with
waistcoats of white cloth embroidered
in gold and MORE is also very favorite
material for waistcoats, handsome ones
being in white or gray.
LIGHT WEIGHT SILKS
are seen on every hand for morning,
afternoon or evening and while the skirts
usually show but q little trimming
around the lower edge, corsages are fire.
quently very elaborate, great use being
made of heavy mesh ecru lace in yokes,
wide collars and epaulettes. A dashing
dress of this character is of crimson
changeable silk having narrow black
stripe. A rich collar and epaulettes of
heavy ecru lace adorn the corsage and
the skirt shows successive rows of in.
sertion TO match, which are placed per-
pendicularly to a height of IS inches.
Not a few ladies experienced in fashion
able dressing, assert that light weight
silk is really cheap fabric, since it is
cool as wash material, does not require
laundering and lasts as long as the style
in which it is made up.
ROUGH STRAW HATS
| trimmed with chiffon, net or null, are
are seen at the Springs especially before
breakfast and the general mode of trim
ming shows Il soft twist of the fabric,
with chouS at the sides and wide bow
at the back or in place Of it, loops of
black MORE ribbon. Later in the day,
elegant Leghorn hats appear and for
these also, chiffon is used, although
there is bewildering variety in garni-
ture and much use of flowers. One
recently worn by the Princess Hatzfeldt
GO. j. Huntingdon's daughter) was of
black Lcghorn straw trimmed with blue
velvet peoples on one side set IN tulle of
the same shade which latter completed
the garniture by soft fold. Small tur
bans Of rough straw, are of quite recent
introduction and the trimming is merely
a twist inside the brim, of soft dia.
phanous fabric which is carried up
in loops on the left side and finished
by two upright quill feathers or wings.
A conspicuous Leghoru hat worn By a
lady guest of Mrs, Aston at Newport
and who is here for short sojourn, hes
a tlaring brim in front, within which is
a trimming of pansies, while outside is
a rich garniture of upright black and
yellow plumes. A Leghorn hat worn by
the Princess Hatzfeldt has large bow
of pink ribbon in front which is com
pleted by rich pink roses around the
crown and falling at the back. A young
lady member of the Vanderbilt family
who is here also for short visit, wore
a lovely that Of white null shirred ant
trimmed with violets set in two punches
one on either side and completed by
black tips, Her mother wore on tn,
same occasion (morning service at the
little Episcopal church, d bonnet o
white rice straw trimmed with pinl
roses and bows of black and white
striped ribbon. Among
Tasteful COSTUMES,

deed have no other, since it remain

inferior bindings that need renewal
