The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-06-28

You know her from the hang of her
skirt, which always meanders in a healthy
way up around her shoe tops at the front
and says right plaintively at the back.
But if it is an outing skirt it's sure
to have facing of yellow leather an
inch wide all the way round.
A very slick bun and frizzed bang
are maybe the most unmistakable char
acteristics of the English girl. Nearly ev-
cry summer girl goes through the ordeal
of wedding out her wardrobe before she
goes to the seashore. She knows that it
is best to dispense with organizes and
gauzy materials that wilt in the sea air.
Duck and mohair gowns are the most
practical and silk ginghams are made
up in the most dressy fashion, with lots
of taffeta ribbon-the latter for seaside
gowns that are not to be worn on every
day occasions.
A dress of pale yellow silk in bingham
pattern was trimmed with rather dull
orange taffeta. At the back of the bod
ice there was a deep ''V'' of the taffeta
and over this the Bingham was brought
and crossed in slight folds and belted
down with straps of the tafeta. The
bodice at the front was fashioned to give
the effect of short bolero over seam
less vest of the silk. The short, full
baSques of the taffeta were slashed. A
compact ruche gave finish to the bot
An artistic girl who has exceedingly
original ideas has her seaside gown fash
toned of materials that harmonic with
the colors of the ocean. Browns, pinks
and reds, she says, ought to be eschewed
because they never chord In with the
surroundings. And all of the shades of
green and blue ought to be adopted for
water gowns exclusively.
Her theory she carries out religiously
in her new gown of canvas cloth. 1t is
a peculiar shade of old blue made up
over green taffeta. There is a short
jacket, with a vest and revers of white
p.que, and around the waist is high
crush glrdle of a peculiar shade of sea
green taffeta that fits snugly.
The jacket is braided in white In a
curious large pattern, that follows, too,
the seams of the front gore Of the skirt.
The hat worn with this gown is fat
of pure white straw, with large bow
OF green taffeta and choux OF white chif-
fon.
In striking beach gowns" with hat
tipped front, the girls stroll upon the
sand. One of these gowns is dark blue
mohair, with trimmings of white pique
and a slight dash of red that gives quite
a smack of originality to this costume.
The jacket reaches to the waist line,
Straight narrow reyers are buttoned back
with large pearl buttSns over brohuer
reVers of pique. These are fuA basques
and a high standing collar OF pique, and
the skirt is trimmed with tabs Of the
same The vest worn with this gown
has tiny dots of bright red and q row of
small red buttons coming very close to-
gether.
Summer girls at the seashore ought to
reioice that through the slow process of
evolution the bathing suit of to-day is
really a becoming attire, and not the blue
flannel bag with string at the middle
that it used to be In days not long gone
by.
IN building the more elaborate bathing
suits 1t IS always light and sheds the
water and ones exit from the surf isn't
the absurd thing that flannel suit makes
1t.
A bathing suit of black silk has a jer-
