July 6.-What n powerful innuence does
woman's dress exert upon the mind! Not
upon the minds Of men or women. but
upon the minds of both men and women.
At summer resort especially. II plays
an important part In the success OF the
young girl, who. serene and stately, or
saucy and piquant. whatever her role in
the drama may be. is always costumeo
to suit It. She Is like the heroines who ap-
pear before us on the stage. We often
remember the toilette when We forget the
wearer
It Is a mistake, however to imagine
that expensive and elaborate dressing Is
essential at the White Sulphur. Plenty
Of fresh and becoming changes are need
ed. and they maE be tasteful. picturesque,
and attractive. but not necessarily costly.
We cannot deny the Importance or be-
romrg attire for women. and the part IL
plays In their content in life. for to the
average woman her clothes are only Sc
eond in Importance TO her soufs saiVatiof'
and not always TO that.
But the White-Suphur girl is just INK,
no other girl. The mornings are as fresh
and fair as bright skies can make them

In her white sailor hat and tempting.
pretty morning-gown, she delights the
Ewes of her elders and disturbs the hearts
Of the chivalrous, manly admirers:
Our maiden deyours a spring chicken,
with delicate omelet, rolls, and conee'
which is served by her sable waiter with
appreciation Of her responsibilities as
social favorite. and then strolls out on
The great high-pilared gallery ready for
ANYTHING that the world has to offer In
The way of amusement.
Here is the broad, green lawn before
her, with benches placed enticingly under
the spreading oaks and smiling youth
Or two in picturesque summer attire READY
to lounge away the morning at her Ieet
under the trees.

The calmness and quiet OF the June
DAYS will now give place to the more

the true sweets of a visit to the White
Sulphur.
Voelker's excellent band, much enlarged
as 10 numbers. and with improved in
struments, played national airs on the
