IReoular Correspondence Of the Advocate
AUGUST 3, 1898.
White is extremely fashionable and IN
entire gowns or merely Independent waists
;s seen at all times and on all occasions.
For morning stroll to the Springs, street
dresses of white poplin, Irish linen, pique,
duck or satin cloth, have peculiar distinc-
ton. provided that shoes, gloves and para
sol be in keeping, nor can anything more
dainty be imagined than young woman
who thus wends her way in garments OF
purity. Worn by older women, these
white outfits are too trying to be desirable,
and by way of change, young aspirants not
unfrequently wear colored ties, or, in case
of short jackets, the vest may show color.
The parasol can then be optional, and this
year it is a stylish idea to wear a colored
silk petticoat under white dress of thick
goods and have the parasol match the un-
dergarment, which shows effectively when
the skirt is lifted for its exhibition. At
EVENING HOPS
or garden parties, white organdie gowns
lead, but are closely rivalled by net, and
both show dressy simplicity that is ex-
tremely attractive, whether in all white OF
when finished by rufies, edged with col
ored baby ribbon, while now and again the
fancy for white and black is gratifed by a
substitution of narrow black velvet in place
of the ribbon. Narrow black velvet rib
bon is, indeed, a noteworthy factor through
out dress in general, it is seen alike on
plain or high dress gowns or waists, and
imparts that shading on the picture which
is so truly artistic.
INDEPENDENT WAISTS
of black or white net, or lace, are also much
worn, and chiffon is often combined, and,
in such cases, the skirts are usually Of satin
or taffeta to correspond, since an undue
preponderance of waists, that differ mark
edly from skirts worn with them become
monotonous and too much as if an assem-.
blage of women were in uniform Hence,
the distinction accorded to entire dresses.
which, notwithstanding the immense popu-
larity of separate waists, take the first
rank. In these styles, after organdie ant
net, come grenadine, mousseline, silks ii
great variety, and spangled fabrics that are
conspicuous at all dressy gatherings and Oh
piazzas. Among
INDIVIDUAL GOWNS
a charming example recently worn at
garden party was of pale pink mousselint
Il rt fin
ished by medium width founce Of lace
and deep apron overskirt in front was
trimmed to match, panel of pale pink
satin on the left side, being outlined by
ribbon bound scallops, and at the back was
founce of material headed by one OF lace.
The waist showed jacket fronts, consisting
of three satin ruf1es cut in scallops anC
bound with ribbon that opened over full
vest of white chiffon; double shoulder
epaulettes were of ribbon bound satin il
scalops, and the back and sleeves were o
the material, a satin belt and collar giving
completion. A simple, yet attractive
gown, is of white organdie worn over 4
skirt of the same material. The dress
skirt has four ruff1es. each headed by ;
half-inch wide pink satin ribbon, and rows
of ribbon continue around it at intervals t.
the waist, which is full, and having finish
of ribbon placed crosswise at intervals thai
end in rosettes on the left side. The
sleeves are pulled throughout and a square
pulled yoke gives completion.
"Ethelind Saratoga is not so expen-
sive a resort as may be supposed, since
there are many boarding houses and small
hotels where prices range at about SIC
weekly, and they are patronized by nice
class of people. Stages run at small cost
to out-of-town springs, or bicyclers take
short rides to them.
Mrs. O." For your husband tired
brain or your own delicate nerves, you will
find no tonic and vitalizer so valuable as
Horsford Acid Phosphate, which is in
large demand even at this celebrated centre
of mineral waters 1t is also not only an
excellent remedy for headache and dyspep-
STA, but is resorted to in moderation as &
delicious drink and substitute for lemonade.
HMarvin.'' For a fashionable luncheon,
choose a red, white and blue one. Silk
flags are laid on the table, small flags have
the menu printed on them and red, white
and blue flowers are selected for decora
tions. Lobster is in favor because red
red and white creams and ices are in order
the favOrite colors are shown forth in china,
and white, red and blue appear in ladies
attire. Lucy CARTER.
