The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-07-12

IN the very early morning before the dew
is on the grass that this morning walk
TO the epring is ordered by the doctors
AT a quick gait they pace up and down
the broad walks for a half hour and then
1t is time for cafe au lait.
After this time the invallds don those
ravishing negligee robes that the coutu-
riers spend so much time on. They lounge
and pay visits among intimes, and see the
maid who is busy brushing out tresses
and msssag!ng troublesome little wrinkles
until time for a dejeuner toilette
This toilette is generally some bit Of chic
tailor finished gown OF mohair or canvas
cloth that is only worn through the meal
and afterwards changed for an elaborate
tea-gown or matinee.
In these gowns these fashionable inva-
lids hold a sort of court. They entertain
with delightful little Afternoon teas in
their rooms or on their private balcony
But the rarest treat comes in the after
noon, when the promenade Is gay with the
brightly coloreu gowns and brighter para
sol and hats; for the season of bright
colors is In full blast now.
One of New Yorks fashionable eociety
women now in Paris on her way to Weis-
baden has had some beautiful gowns fash
toned at one of the SWEETEST shops, and
had long lingering look at them all be-
fore they were boxed. For morning wear
there was a simple gown of light gray
canvas cloth made over transparency
Of white taffeta. The skirt was a plain
godet, very full, without an atom of stiff
fleming, and it touched the floor all
around. At the back the excessive
length amounted almost to a demi-train
The bodice had a seamless back and a
full blouse front, with a wide box plait
formed of white embroidered batiste with
a narrow edging of deep cream Nalen-
ciennes. The collar was high stock col
n EEfhi will ), "a.
OF the batiste al the sop and base There
was a narrow belt of white suede and
clasps Of rare old silver of Venetian de-
sign. The sleeves Of this gown too l
noticed were moderately full coat sleeves
and had not that pinched, withered look
that the ultra fashionable gowns boast
dressy afternoon gown was built OF
c0rn-colored tafeta with a light pattern
in deep orange The skirt was full 90
det tight fitting al the hips with the
1ulnesS thrown well to the back The left
siqe OF the skirt had a trimming of black
velvet ribbon with cravat bows The front
OF the bodice was Of plain yellow satin
with a covering of white mousseline de
soc and a trimming Of the black velvet
ribbon. There was broad collar of white
satin with pattern traced in gold
threads that extended quite over the
rather snort sleeves and the standing
crush collar was of white satin
black grenadine had very fun godet
skirt, with ruche Of black mousseline
de sole surmounted by rosette appliances
IN white dentelle. The bodice of black
grenadine was fashioned TO give the effec+
of short bolero over a vest of white satin
veiled in white mousseEne de sole. Border
ing the jacket was an applique of heavy
white lace, and around the arm-hoie Of
1ne tail full sleeve was a frill Of the same
( see, wired so that it stood straight up
p tall crush collar of black satin was
ished with a frill Of white mousseline

The combination Of green and blue in
toilettes is bidding fair to rival the craze
for black and white
