MORNING WALKS

cent introduction. For
MORNING WALKS
or on piazzas, all white outfits come
first and favorite materials are pique,
duck, Irish linen or mohair made gen
orally 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 pink or blue more
or less braided, affords change and
better choice for person of defective
complexion, while doubtles also for
the sake of variety, colored ties or
vests are worn with white gowns and
there is special prestige in colored silk
petticoat worn under a white dress of
thick cotton or light wool, the parasol
matching the undergarment that
shows effectively when the skirt is lift
ed for its exhibition. Other pretty
morning dresses are in lawn or fine
gingham made simply as BELTS the
hour, but material the best and fit per-
lection. Little
COLORED COATS
are an element in watering place life
this year and though not SO much in
vogue at Saratoga as at Bar Harbor or
|Newport, where the breezes blow cool
or, are quite noticeable. Made in silk
satin, they are very jaunty as con-
trast and when lined, the under fabric
shows prettily around the face within
a high collar and of course the colors
are chosen with a view to becoming
ness. Colored coats with white pique
or duck skirts are frequently made in
the same material and one may readily
imagine the dash given by red jack
ct on cool morning. Here the para,
sol match either skirt or jacket.
HATS
at Saratoga, become a secondary con-
sieration, because ladies SO frequent
ly go hatless to the Springs or else
where, but again the exhibition Of
hats may become an important part of
a summers entertainment and even in
a hotel parlor during the evening be a
source of pride to the wearer and per-
haps envy to some beholders. The shep.
herdess contour is the leading one and
coming low on the forehead, appears
in just the right keeping with wide
rolled hair that when not too extreme,
is quite becoming, especially if little
stray pretences Of curls modify and
otherwise too severe outline. In the
most expensive hats, Leghorn. Nea-
politan or fine chip are noticeable and
the two'are trimmed by rare plumes
and fine veilings, Leghorns being a
vantage ground for exquisite assem-
bling of flowers.
"Carrie Park. Red, white and blue
luncheons have been given in the hand
some villas of the neighborhood and
are arranged easily. Silken flags
should be placed on the table: the
china should be blue or red or both:
flowers must be chosen in patriotic
hues: the menu should be appropriate
ly colored and some persons have had
tiny flags for the purpose: Lobsters are
in favor because red: white sauces pre-
vail and luscious red fruits are effec-
lively set forth. The ladies wear red,
white and blue ribbons, etc.
MRS. Q."-For your husbands tired
brain and your own delicate nerves;
you will find no tonic and vitalizer so
valuable as Horsford's Acid Phosphate
which is in large demand even at this
celebrated centre of mineral waters.
It is also not only an excellent remedy
for headache and dyspepsia, but is re-
sorted to in moderation as a delicious
drink and substitute for lemonade.
"Georgina."-Perscns often have an
exaggerated idea OF the expense in.
volved in sojourn at Saratoga. This
is true, If one be entertained at an ex.
pensive hotel. But there are small
hotels and numerous boarding houses
which are patronized by genteel peo-
pie. where prices range at about SIC
weekly. RoSALIND MAY.
Satisfied.
There are very few things which are
just right in this world, but our opin.
ion is one of them.-West Union Ga.
