on Bellevue or Ocean avenue, great
wraps is afforded, and as colors or
black are equally i'm vogue, the variety
is very attractive. Large, ColOred cloth
CapeS with rounded fronts and trimmed
by deep white lace rufiies, headed with
colOred silk passementerie, look charm-
ing in either sunshine or shadow,
finishing touch being given by velvet
rosettes, or a velvet twist, set beneath
the extremely ornate collar, usually cut
in four tabs, lined with colored sille
and edged with plated mousseline-de-
sole ruffles, affording both protection
and charm. A beautiful white wrap
worn by a millionaire's wife had u
white silk foundation, under white net
bordered by a plated mousseline-de-
sole frill, and over this frill was a Sec
ond ruffle of Renaissance lace. y large
shoulder yoke of shirred mousseline-
de-soie was finished by a ruffle, and
the collar was cut and trimmed in the
style already described, Black and
white wraps are also i'm great favor,
and over white satin, open, leaf-like
passementerie shows to great advant-
age. Parasols are as elegant as the
wraps-white silk in all grades are seen
the superb point lace, the chiffon
ruffled or embroidered silk, and no less
attractive are colored silk parasols
with vines of contrasting embroidery,
intersected by gilt tinsel lines in wav-
ing designs. Fannie Field,

as a very fine white cloth dress, em-
broidered in blue silk the design being
long, slender, leaves dropping grace
fully over each other.
A SECOND WHITE YACHTING SUIT
worn by a Baltimore blonde was of
the finest quality serge, trimmed with
soutache braid put on in scallops down
the side of the front breadth, with
jacket sCalloped all around; falling
just below the waist and large sailor
collar slOping into reVerS at the front.
A very elegant imported yachting suit
displayed by a young New York ma
trOn was of royal blue canvas, lined
throughout with cherry-COlored silk.
and trimmed down the left side of the
front breadth with three clusters of
gilt buttons, twelve in each cluster.
The short jacket had a little point at
back and front, finished with gilt but
tons in clusters; white MORE revers
and white silk front giving compile
ton.
THE NEW FABRIC
linen of silk is ordinary in appearance,
considering how expensive it is, and
a blue morning dress of this novelty
displayed by Chicago belle had cir
cular skirt with a deep ruffle tucked
at top and bottom, with an embrOid-
cred overskirt simulated done in
white silk somewhat on the Renais-
sance lace style and waist in keeping,
conveying by no means an elegant ef-
feet, but costing Sll5. An inexpensive
heliotrope lawn in small checks and
dots, having a wide flOunce arranged
in a point at the left side; the cor
sage a square lawn yoke edged by
white lace (similar to the border) above
full baby waist; and the mousque-
taire sleeves trimmed with lace, was
really prettier than the linen OF silk
dress at about a fifth of the expense.
THE BROOCH OF ALL OTHERS
is this season a heart shaped affair,
formed OF small diamonds with a large
one at the centre. Diamond clasp pins,
for holding shirt waist and skirt to-
gether, combine utility, beauty and eX-
penditure; the palmer grades showing
gold pins set with one, two or three
stones. Diamond ropes" is the fash
ionable term applied to the long neck
chains, now so fashionable, being, in
fact, chains Of small diamonds.

Through force of circumstances ana
general lassitude brought about by the
condition of the elements but rev
events of interest in social life are pre-
sented for the contemplation of those
who are familiar with the doings OF
society, Leaders of the Scranton
swim who are not scattered about at
neighboring or far away summer re-
sorts have been using their best eff
forts in the cndeavor to keep cool dur
ing the past few days and have given
little thought to the amusements
which absorb their attention from the
period that Jack Frost heralds the
opening of the winter season of gaiety.
From the nearby lakes and rural re-
sorts come reports of summer social
events in the way of picnics, boating
parties and golf tournaments.
The opening Of the Lakeside Country
club at Montrose this week was an
event in which many Scrantonians
have been interested. The golf links
are of necessity in a crude condition
at present, but before the c-zping of
the next season it is prCSdofe that
they will be among the finest in the
state. The event of Tuesday af-
ternoon and evening proved conclu-
sively that the Lakeside Country club
will be the popular resort during the
balance of the season for the leading
society people of Montrose and promi-
nent visitors from larger cities.
Among the Scrantonians at the OPEN
ing of the Montrose Country club were
Miss Poore, Misses Thayer and Mr.
Shafer and Mr.. Torrey. The latter, in
company with Misses Leisenring, of
Upper Lehigh, gave the beginners at
Montrose an exhibition of golf as the
game is demonstrated by experts.
At Nay Aug park Thursday even
ing an outing was held by prom
inent young people from West Scran-
ton. A very enjoyable time was spent
by ALL Refreshments were served at

Good Roads pelerntion.

The delegation OF Wellington business
men who went over to Elyria last We'd
nesday in hope OF inducing the county
commissioners to bring the good roads
question to vote this spring, did not
meet with the reception that they ex-
pected. The first thing they run up
against was Commissioner Wilson, who
seems to think that he is the "Whole
Push" and that the wishes Of the people
cut no figure with him. Judge Steele,
OF Oberlin, was present. The Judge and
Commissioner Wilson are decidedly op-
posed to the good roads. Hon. j. T. Has
kell, as chairman presented the good
roads side of the question in his cOnvinc-
ing way. He was followed by Mr.. Bran
son, who touched up Mr.. Wilson to the
queens taste. The meeting while
not resulting in anything definite, the
delegation received the encouraging
statement that the commissioners would
give 1t careful consideration at their
first meeting.
The delegation consisted Of Hon. ]. T.
Haskell, E. G. Branson, D. Peters, ]. L
Chapman, F. D. Warren, G. B. Warner,
L. F. Clifford, Henry Stevick, W. D,
Warren, j. Hockensmith, and F. C. Will.
