The Newest Outing Wear for Women
Costs from S9S to $24S.
The summer preceding the winter
when the epidemic Of grip first struck
this country was marked by an cpl
demic Of yachting caps, which swept
over the country like the seventeen
year locusts. Unlike the locusts, they
did not appear solely for one year. but
every summer yet they have been seen
fortunately in fewer numbers every
year.
j 1t was apropos of this epidemic that
Mr.. w. K. Vanderbilt was asked at
] Narragansett Pier one day when he
had sailed over from Newport On his
yacht why he did not wear a yacht
ing cap. The reason is simple" he
said, because I own a yacht
The interest in yachting is now a
national characteristic. and it must
need be that people who live in inland
towns must have some of the fun, and
/ If they cannot own yachts, at least
they need not be debarred the pretty
chic costumes, which are dubbed
yachting costumes"
There is a great latitude between the
yachting gowns to be worn on the sea
and those for wear on land
SERGE, NOT FLANNEL.
For sea wear there is nothing like
serge. 1t is not so warm as flannel
but is lighter and does not fade so
quickly, and best of all, repels water
and dust alike.
! The smartest gowns are made with
one shirt and blouse waist-as nearly
as possible to the regular man-o-war
suit worn by the blue Jackets" as
the men before the mast are called.
The shirts should be quite wide. so
that in case of high winds they will
not show too distinctly the culture of
the figures, and will have none Of the
disagreeable wrapping about the legs,
which is so uncomfortable with a
badly hung skirt. It need have no
trimming at all, but two rows of braid
around the bottom of the skirt seems
to make it hang rather better.
The blouse waist should be made
with very deep sailor collar. With
this is worn a piece of blue serge. like
a vest, and under the collar must be
knotted black half handkerchief, and
pocket at the side of the blouse, Just
like those on the mems blouses, is an
absolute necessity. The skirt and
waist are buttoned together and are
coverd with. a simple black belt, or
belt of the serge.
On the same model can be made the
duck suits of Galatea cloth. but thew
are much cooler and only suited for
very mild days. serge or flannel being
the only material possible for a lengthy
cruise. The sleeves of the blouse are
not very full-that is, compared with
the sleeves worn in ordinary gowns.
and are gathered into a cuff of the
same material.
The duck suits have collars. cuffs
and deep turn-up hem of blue linen.
trimmed with four or five rows Of very
narrow white braid.
AS TO HATS ON BOARD.
1t is difficult to know what sort of
hat is the best to wear
Sailor hats in dark blue or white
look the best, particularly worn with
the chiffon wells, which are so becom-
ing to the complexion. But if one
wishes to rest ones head against a
chair, the stiff, unyielding brim of a
sailor hat is about the most unsatis-
factory thing that can well be mag
ined.
The yachting caps, in spite of their
vulgarity, are the most comfortable
headgear known, for the vizor shades
the eyes, the cap fits comfortably on
the head and permits one to lie down
on ones steamer chair as comfortably
as though on sofa or divan.
A new material which is waterproof
and which looks like umbrella silk has
lately been imported in two or three
quite smart costumes. 1t is excellent
for yachting wear, and though not
quite so smart as the regular serge or
flannel suits, older women like it i'm
mensely. 1t seems to be a mixture of
silk and WOOL and the prettiest gown
I have seen made of it was in two
shades Of dark blue stripe. The gown
was made with loose waist, belted in.
and with plain full skirt To be worn
with it was long cloak of the same
material.
