the grand stand of the coli club yeranda
was knee deep m front and waist high

Nalenciennes lace SET upon dress of "a

bodice of which likewise was under ruff

rows measured not more than half am
inch, so small and petal-like were they,
and indeed the whole effect was that of
a full-blown, gorgeous-hued, many

Probably Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney
is as graceful a driver OF the automobile
and Mrs. @. II. y. Belmont as nervous as
any woman I'm Newport. As Mrs. Bel
monts bicycle instructor once put the
case, more truthfuly than tactfuily,
Mrs. Belmont really is good-natured
but she always looks as II she were say

A PRINCESS COSTUME.
Another dress prominent in the days

pondicular tucks. and finished at the
top of the low bodice with cream-col-
ored guipure laced about the shoulders
and over the yoke Of white mousseline
by narrow black velvet ribbon. The
underskirt OF green silk was stitched
with green in fine embroidery patterns
and a quaint poke hat was worn, COW
cred on the outside with feathers hav-
ing large pink roses next to the face. and
tied down with green tune strings.
The two types of girl evolved this
summer appear nowhere more conspic-
uOusly distinct than at a Newport pic-
mic, where the manly maid presents
herself. stn shirt front sitter. her high.
starched collar higher and more starchy.

promising than ever, IN the face Of the
girly girl, who is all frou-frou and fussy,
