Correspondence of The Journal
Even at a fashionable summer resort the
breakfast dress should be marked BY SIM
plicity, and for those who take morning
walks, pique suits are most appropriate.
In such dresses the fashionable colors are
cel, navy or cadet blue, pink, white, yel-
low or black with white insertion. The
majority are deliberately trimmed either
with embroidery at each of the front
bceadths, or in points let in around the
skirt; then again five bands at the front is
pretty style, the jacket or shirt waist
being trimmed in harmony. Embroidered
lawns in stylish colors have their attrac-
lions also, and prettily tucked or hem
stitched or coIored pique waists with
white insertion, worn with black skirts,
morning.
BLUE OR PINK SILK
neglige costumes are lovely combinations
of silk and lace, almost always with the
loose back lace fronts opening on plated
mousselne or satin, with lace yoke, and
half-tight belt or sash. Palmer grades are
of blue foulard silk, with narrow rutfles
on wide one each edged with narrow
white lace, and white lace jacket gives
delicate finish. The standby of many
stylish persons here is a blue foulard cos
tune, trimmed with white lace, enhancing
youthful charms, and mitigating the IN
graceful outlines of the portly dowager.
Usually hats are trimmed in harmony, or
else in very delicate contrasts.
ALTHOUGH NOT IN THE BEST TASTE,
organizes are worn IN the morning; often
ornamented with many double ruftles,
bordered with narrow black velvet at
both sides, and crimped, in order to give
a fluffy appearance. Velvet run on plain
in the shape of an overskirt is used, and
in a blue organdy costume worn by So
ciety belle, the sides of the rutfled over
skirts are carried up at each side of the
waist, the front breadth being covered by
from twenty to twenty-five rutfles edged
by velvet, with waist trimmed in keeping;
and as she walked with a firm, graceful
step, delicate aroma was perceptible,
and in this connection it may be added
that the pretty idea of individuality in
perfumes is carried of course still farther
in summer than in winter, since in warm
weather the gentle stimulant of a choice
toilet extract is peculiarly refreshing.
Among the host of scents that lend their
charm to fashion S favorites, the old time,
truly American, Murray & Lanman's Flori-
da Water still reigns as ever. Its spright-
ly fragrance is waited to US as we traverse
the corridors of the most fashionable sum-
mer hotels, and in the daintily appointed
boudoirs Of the villas of the wealthy this
queen of toilet waters is conspicuous
among the furnishing of my lady's dress
ing table. Not unfrequently black vel
vet collar and belt give character to a
plain organdy, or a black lace trimming
produces similar effect, particularly now
that lace is worn with lowered or leaf
edges; and run on colored yoke, and
also on the sleeves, the result is very
graceful.
EVENING BRINGS OUT
many elegant net or Renaissance lace cos
tunes; the latter showing circular skirts
over white or colored silk Innings, the
| Powered edge kept out by plated net
ruffle, with a lace yoke and sleeves match
ing the skirt. A white point d esprit net
dress, made over white silk and worn by
lovely blonde, had wide ruff1e around
the skirt with many rows of gathered satin
ribbon run on, and an overskirt of white
taffeta silk woven in open scroll patterns,
somewhat resembling rows of ribbon,
about an inch apart, every edge finished
by silken cord. The yoke and sleeves
matched the overskirt exactly, and the
remainder of the corsage was of shirred
net.
| WHITE CANVAS OR KID SHOES
for day or evening are more fashionable
than ever, with white or colored costumes,
and black patent leather ranks next in
style, either in ties or slippers, the latter
handsomely beaded and trimmed with fiat
bows. VERONA CLARKE.
