NARAGANSETT PIER.
What the Ultra-FashiOnabe People are
Wearing at This Resort.
HOTEL GLADSTONE, June, 1899.


Hotel life at Naragansett Pier, pos
sesses a charm unknown at Newport,
since the latter is so absorbed by villas,
that hotel guests count for little. Bnt
at Naragansett Pier, which is as a
crown to Newport, the sOjOurner may
shine forth in all a summers glory. A
splendid macadamized road renders the
dive to and from, an ideal recreation
or the approach by water, is only eight
miles. Here at the new Gladstone,
existence becomes fairy like. New
furnishings and adornments, supplied
and arranged by New York's leading
houses and their best artists, afford to
the vision indoors, all that the most
critical could desire; perpetually swept
by sea breeZes, the air is an elixir to
the i'll, or weary, while without, the
eye is refreshed by several surround
ing acres of noble trees and shaded
lawns. The superb beach and ocean
view, complete the picture. Would
that every reader could share these
SUMMER DELIGHTS.
Wise ones will come in July, which
really is the month for greatest enjoy
ment. Each day, parties arrive and
as they look around them, their pleas
ed faces, bring pleasure to those who
watch them. Friends from Newport
come over to welcome them and a dress
worn by young society matron,
might serve as a model. 1t was made
princesse shape, of fine blue cloth, the
skirt trimmed with three rows of self
colored satin folds laid in deep point
back and front and the cOrsage revers
trimmed to match. Vest of whit satin
tucked; sailor hat with blue band.
MORNING Gowns
In the midst of expensive novelties,
nothing is more pleasing to the eye
than simple morning gowns that are
worn for early strolls on the beach or
under shade trees. Such dresses cost
little as to material and with the aid of
good patterns, may readily be made at
home. Dimity, gingham, or baptiste
are eminently appropriate and most
attractive yet expensive dress worn by
young matron belonging to New
York's Four Hundred, is of figured
dimity made with five ruffies around
the bottom and an overskirt cut in
scallops. The last named could easily
be dispensed with and two or three
ruffies would give good finish. The
waist is slightly full with wrinkled
sleeves and yoke of tucked lawn edged
by ruffies of tho goods.
PIQUE DRESSES.
divide favOrs with Galatea suiting and
light weight wool for catching, of
which there is much and white pique
gowns trimmed with bands of red
jacket, are very iaunty for brunettes.
Short jackets are the regulation style
for such dresses and extremely dainty
outfits are in white, either wool or
thick cotton, with short jacket, OPEN
ing over vest of bright colored silk.
Such gowns are utilized for morning
walks OF drives or other occasions of
like character. In
EVENING DRESSES
there is a very marked preference for
point d'esprit that really leads, but
plain net has much showing, nor can
any caprice of the hour, hinder ap-
probation of soft beautiful crepe de
chine and mousseline as well, whether
in delightful solid shades or high
grade floral patterns. In making,
there is a great preference for ruffiings
on the skirt and while many dresses
are low necked, yet thin yokes and
sleeves are oftentimes a refuge for
girles who lack flesh.
