more easy-gOing of the white company
adopt thin wells of white chiffon. cut at

leather or white suede Isle gloves are
always preferred by the country colo

kids. and brown vanished or patent
leather ties, with smart open-worked
Isle hose, prettily dotted, is the correct
footgear.
At these afternoon frivolities parasols
of white dotted Swiss. white taffeta,
white embroidered muslin, or captivat-
ing straw sun shades. are carried. The
straw parasols open out as fiat as those
Japanese protectors made of paper,
they are novelties and both expensive
and fragile. though very pretty with
their pale yellow canopies and bamboo
sticks. An oddly adopted by the bear

plated bells outside the muslin canopy
and as close as possible to the point to
which the ribs converge. At eN cry mo-

The Whirest Toilet of Them All.
When evening shades prevail and the
hour of the casino hop draws nigh, the
seaside and mountain resorterS come
down to dinner and dancing in pique
skirts that touch the floor behind and
that are fancifully adorned with insets
of open-work embroidery. With such a
skirt an all-Over embroidery bodice,
high-necked and long-sleeved, button
ing up behind. or very elaborate white
chiffon waist, or one all tucks and her
ronboning and crystal buttons. of fair
taffeta, or decollete cream lace body,
are, any of them. perfectly sweet and
suitable. To dinners and small dances
at private houses the younger element
at a summer resort go arrayed in such
artless simplicity, pinning big bows OF
white tulle in their hair, singing small
fans or chains of white coral or crystal
beads round their necks, and leaving
gloves to those who know no better
than to wear the shackles of city fash
ions during summers freedom.
Not only is it the fashion from a
sense of fitness and beauty to dress
luuS SIMPLY ana eIIecIlNely IN WHITE,
but women do it from comforts sake,
and even wealthy girls boast of the
cheapness and dispatch with which
their pretty suits were procured. To
give one example: A girl setting out
for an afternoon tea at Nara gansett,

skirt was chosen from a huge pile of
ready made petticoats. and cost So and
did not need to have one stitch altered.
The shirt was bought at another coun-
ter in the same shop. and cost $3.50;
there was high collar on the shirt,
so a pique necktie was needed. and a
lovely one with pearl pin in it. came
TO 10 cents. Anyone can add these items
and discover what this simple. comfort
able and unvaryingly becoming little
outfit did cost, and the time required
to procure it was forty minutes 1t is
now a question whether the most stern
ly economical home dressmaking can
