THE WOMAN OF FASHION.

lHk NUNAA Uf FAOllIUN,
New York. June We are all aware
of the fact that innumerable articles have
been written for the benefit Of the unfor-
tunate city girl who is unable TO leave
town for the summer months, and spend
her vacation in those delightful spots so
idealized by printed circulars and rail
road guides yet in the face of this fact, l
shall make bold to preface my fashion re
marks by a few words OF encouragement
and advice to the selfsame girl,
In the first place, let her not
begin by thinking her lot a
hard one. On genuinely hot
day. there Is surely nothing warmer than
the room of summer hotel. There ism
a breath of air anywhere, not even on the
pleasant piazza where the old ladies sit
with their knitting. 1t is positively too
warm to plan or execute any expedition; {;
for dressing, a hot ride through the broil-
inE sun before the place could be reached,
getting up'lunchCou, and all that sort of
thing, is worse tnan sitting quietly in
ones room and enduring the heat with the
best possible grace.
And there is no room so pleasant at
sucn a time as this, as the room you are
quite at home in. The room with Your
own fayorite, wornoUt, comfortable

Then when You sit down in that cosy old
