ago. There are light grays that would
deceive any but close observer, and the
pinks and lavenders are very dainty.
Some of these varieties have white polka
dots, and others have raised embroidered
dots. This last variety is very expensive.
being marked $l.25 yard, but in the dark
colors 1t is very serviceable The other
styles are 50 and 60 cents. Piaue is best
adapted to use in outing costumes, with
stin blazers and skirts, as 1t is too I'M
wieldy for any draped design-even the
blouse waist with the box plat. These
dresses are usually made plain with a
collar of embroidery, which trimming is
sometimes used around the edges of the
blazer A pretty white pique with blue
silk polka dots was made with a broad
slashed sailor collar which was edged
with a tiny blue chambray ruffie and white
Nalenciennes lace.
Grass cloth, in that light brown linen
shade, is another favorite material It is
80 cents yard, and if one does not want
a whole dress of il, it looks very well in
separate waists or fronts, or even broad
collars. 1t is trimmed with very sheer
embroidery, insertion and Valenciennes
lace. yoke of grass cloth with inser-
tions of lace and embroidery and fiounce
OF the material edged with lace, makes a
pretty trimming for any sort of dress.
Bingham is not much used, because there
are so many other materials that are
newer Nevertheless, there are some pref
~ Scotch ginghams which are very dam
ty, and are preferred by some on ac-
count of their durability. These are
made simply, with round gathered waists
and skirts, and with velvet or satin stocks
and belts, or with the embroidery col
larette This last style is especially COM
mendable, because the collarette is so cas-
lily removed and Numbered without dis
turbing the rest of the dress.
The enthusiasm manifested over the pro-
gress of the differen4 base ball clubs en-
sures an all summer interest in outdoor
sports Then there is the yacht race in
September to bring out all the fashion
ables in their pretty yachting costumes.
For, though they do not take part in
the actual racing, they must be dressed
in keeping, like the spectators at ten
mis- game, who never lift racquet but al
ways wear tennis suit Yachting suits
are made of duck, as well as the twilled
fiannels that are considered the carrect
thing; but the flannels are preferable be-
cause they are wooden. Cream colored
fiannels for yachting gowns and tennis
suits are marked IS cents a yard. Some
have fine black stripes at intervals of a
half inch. They are made much as they
always were. with blazers to be worn with
shirt waists; but some introduce striped
vests and plastrons that are very nauti'
cal in their appearance.
The new sets of blue enamel cuff but
tons and studs are very fashionable, and
may be bought for from 50 to IS. These
are pretty in both cotton and flannel shirt
fronts.
Yachting belts are made with silver
buckles in anchor and spar designs. A
pretty brown belt, very WIDE looked like
duck, but was much thicker, and had
slim gold buckle.
Childrens outing suits are of the same
material as those of older persons. The
boys are all sailors, so far as costume
goes, no matter whether they dressed for
a party or for a romp in sand. Girls are
not so nautical in their dress, but their
ordinary dresses have an appearances
about them of being ready for business
which suggests any agreeable outdoor
sport. On the whole, it may be safely
said that this is an outing as well as
white season, and it is to be hoped thas
the weather will be propitious for both.
