The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1899-07-13

With the first of July the summer girl
may be said to have fairly started upon
her triumphal march and how she is to
be CARRIED is pretty well established. Let
us take a sly peep as she passes IN re-
view. and note all the little something's
that show she is '99's girl instead of '9Ss.
Of course, for general utility wear, her
niece de resistance Is a shirt waist. OBJ
serve that it no longer has a yoke IN the
back, but fits smoothly up to the neck.
The sleeves, while having cuffs to pro-
claim it a shirt waist sleeve, are almost
as closely fitting as shirt sleeves. Then,
too. the last seasons pouch front is com
spicuous by its absence, and the CONNIE
il faut girl has very little fullness In the
front of her shirt waist, and that is drawn
straight down. The standing collar ex-
ciusively worn for the last two seasons,
has had to take second place for the very
light turned over one, with round corners,
the newest shirt waist collar.
In the shape of her. skirt, perhaps, the
100 girl shows the greatest difference. The
eelskin shape skirt, with its sheath hke
fit to the knee and its pronounced and
abrupt flare there, is a decided innovation
since last summer Then note also that
the shaped fiounee of last year has fold

last year had one of these hounces, TINS
s,,mmer one has to hunt almost to find
one. Even since the early springtlme,
when the shirt placket was universally
an;shed with a double row of buttons. has
change asserted itself. Now this fashion
has become too commonly used to suit
milady's exclusive fancy, SO she rengl-
ousiy abjures it.
Notice her shoes. In previous years
when she held up her dainty skirts she

h1sc ok or Isle thread for the street, with
the addition of an openwosk front or a
little. embroidery when worn for afternoon
with her more airy loneliness, is now NIL
lady's fancy.
Her belt buckle. you will observe, is not
+ba same. While she still clings TO the
crush ribbon belt. she must have a req
eold belt clasp or be out of date Then
her hat is a fancy billowy thing OF tuiie'

But each year. no matter VIA she
wears. she is just as charming as 9he
last. Each season one thinks the styles
she affects just the proper hin wniie
she fayors them, but when she pronounces

We wonder how we could ever have liked

So
Black silk and pongee and brilliantine
dist cloaks are strong elements in every
mi wardrobe. and some of them are MADE
with great art. while crepes with three
falls knee long redingotes and cutaway

sand cloth and Scotch reversible are the
wraps taken along when junketlng ABOUT
m Yachts. steamers and at cooler north
ern resorts.
ore ana all these comforters are cut to
grip the figures closely from neck TO
knee. Capes depending in three falls are
the newest design, and there is no mare
at the shoulders or hips. On the capes, IN
place of the time honored though super
fuous hood. a scarf of bright SILK is
draped about the shoulders, either q
Highland plaid or a silk showing Roman
hands is adopted, and thus undeniapiy
has a pleasing effect against the SOBER
browns and grays which all the capes are
colored.
The really lovely dust eloaks seem
almost imperative adjunets Of the driving
toilets. at golf tournaments, polo games
etc. and o~stensibly they serve as pro-
tections against glare and dust for the
delicate muslin, lace and foulard gowns
they cover. In reality they do duty as
fails for the ethereal toilets. and their
high Medici collars all frilled with lace
answer as fine backgrounds for howery
bonnets.
A perfect loose sacque Of lightest gray
waterproof cloth, falling to the knees and
: belted BY a band of the same goods, is the
smart sea wrap whether for yachting,
pacing the sands by moonlight or cross

season is a growing Partially among

nearly a yard long. is one of the favorite
caps for yachting.
Can anything equal the midsummer tori

about the most miserable form of bond
