al 10 Tsiese a3S III fact, T suspect tnat
the GOOD gray goose and her husband
Mr.. Goose, have contributed largely to
the quota of quilts, for no others are So
long nor SO SiH.
There are very few b0nnets worn just
now. Everything is designed for out Of
door wear, and the theaters are closed.
So garden hats of every fanciful design
and every degree Of lightness are shown.
None is. daintier than the shirred hat Of
white silk null, with a little rich cream
Limerick lace put upon it in form Of
bows or drapery. There may be a steel
or gilt buckle, but no color. Nearly all
dressy summer costumes have a hat to
match as nearly as possible
Some Of the costumes to be worn at
Newport and Saratoga are provided by
the dressmakers with hats to match.
They do this to enhance the value Of the
dresses that go out of their establish
mems, as the wearer's taste might be
faulty in the choice Of a proper hat, and
that would seriously detract from the
effect of the dress.
There was a very refined dress made
Of Nile green liberty silk laid in acccr-
dion plaits from top to bottom Of the
skirt. The waist was made in the same
way. There was a small yoke made of
several bias spring folds of the same.
There was a short apron drapery across
the front, edged with a deep pinked ruff
he, and in the back q sash of the full
width of the liberty reaching to the bot
tom. With this was a yellow straw hat,
with shirrings under the brim of the
same liberty. Outside were loops Of black
velvet and a whole bunch of water grass
ii Nile shades.
/ was struck by the difference in the
costumes offered for Saratoga and New
port. 1t made me realize clearer than
ever before the difference in the temper
allure of those two places. The dresses
for Saratoga are Of the hlmiest possible
texture, and those for Newport are
scarcely lighter than they have been for
city wear all spring.
Among the shirt waists for Newport
are dozens Of those garments made Of
cheyiot and thick crash; also of the beau
tiful Deimel linen mesh. This has here.
tofore been used exclusively for fine hy-
gienic underwear, but womankind have
seized upon 1t and wrested it from the
masculine portion of humanity and are
now having shirt waists, blazers and
yachting and garden party suits Of it. Il
resembles h~oneycomb armure IN weave at
a distance, but, seen closely, it is found
to be as open as brussels net and of a
frrnness ard s6lidity almost u~nimagined.
1t is So porous that it Is an ideally cool
waist md Il washes as finely as a crash
towel. That means that it always looks
lila new From the peeuliaritY of its
weave and the richness of its appearance
= itself very little Il any trimming is re-
CURED.
One suit for a belle of Newport has
around the skirt three rows Of very mar
row cardinal ribbcn d foot apart. There
is ! row Of ribbeD on the belt. two on
the sleeves and three on the very wide
reyers added to the shirt waist. At the
ioinines of the points Of the revers was a
sailor crayat of red and white checked
silk. There were red kid shoes, a red
parasel with a red bow and a satin straw
alpine hat with a red satin ribbon band
and bow and a bunch of curled cog
plumes at the left side. The red trim
ming was all SO very narrow that it did
not look too garish.
Another suit OF this linen mesh had a
iaunty little blazer. This and the shirt
waist and skirt were all white, with no
point Of color save gold Yachting buttons
on the blazer and a gold band around the
white can.
Another costume had to match it a
naras sol which was q fluff and a Duff OF
white silk null. with no end OF deep ruff
fees. The hat which went with this was
Of lilac straw. with axlraned trimming Of
