Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 13.-At evening
hops and garden parties, organdic takes
the lead for young people, hut is closely
riyalled by white net over taifeta silk,
oreandie being preferably worn over an
underskirt of the same material. In both
fabrics, pretty colorings are sometimes
eiyeu by colored underskirts below the
white material which thus assumes the
character of a refined yelling, but, after
all, nothing is more charming than pure
white gowns or white relieved by ruffies
edged with colored baby ribbon that IN
general has extraordinary favor for an
evening or afternoon dress garniture.
| Older people are maufestly fond oil black
net gowns and these likewise are hand
somely relieved by colored baby ribbon
that edges ruflles or the gown may re.
main entirely black by the employment
of black ribbon. But the handsomest
black dresses show spangles, either on the
skirt or corsage or sometimes on both aud
everywhere, the favorite glitter becomes
powerful adjunct in the more dressy
class of gowns. Mousseline is extremely
| fashionable and according to the colors
| whether light or dark, is popular for
wuarers of every age, its softness being
equally favorable to elderly women who
generally need such aid, or to budding
| beauties whose freshness is enhanced by
this most lovely fabric.
Black lace gowns over black or colored
silk are perhaps first in real elegance and
| in the higher grades become very expen-
sive. They are especially the appropria-
| ton of many middlc-aged women here,
| still delighting in fine dress and wishing
to appear we'll in the eyes OF numerous
elderly men VINO frequent these noted
| Springs to far greater extent than their
| juniors to whom there arc greater attrac-
lions in camping grounds or aquatic
sports. Fine woods over silk, give change
though scarce intrinsically pretty and
among these, wood color has much pres
tige and has taken precedence over gray,
because of more recent introduction.
For morning walks or on piazzas, all
white outfits come first and favorite ma
terials are pique, duck, Irish linen or
mohair made generally in tailor style and
with short jackets opening over white
vests. A. white parasol, white shoes and
gloves complete with the studied elegance
one might expect at the famous resort.
But linen in ecru, pink or blue more or
loss braided, affords change and better
choice for persons of defective complex
ion, while doubtless also for the sake
of variety, colored tics or vests are worn
with white gowns and there is special
prestige in colorcd elk petticoat worn
under white dress of thick cotton OF
light wool, the parasol matching the un.
dergarment that shows effectively when
the skirt is lifted for its exhibition. Other
pretty morning dresses arc in lawn OF
fine bingham made simply as BELTS the
hour, but material the best and fit perfec
ton.
