ming.
The sombrero is another of the new
hats. Untrimmed it is nothing much to
look at or speak of. Trimmed it becomes
a thing Of beauty. One thing is noticea-
ible, and that is the depth of the curl to
the brim.
The favoriteT shape, however, for the
moment is the pork pie brim and mob
gap crown. When they are brought to.
gether, we find the realization Of the
dream Of a lunatic with the nightmare.
Eagle and other long, stiff cuills are add
ed to these hats. In fact, suspect that
the good gray goose and her husband.
Mr.. Goose, have contributed largely to
the quota of quilts, for no others are so
long nor 80 stiff.
There are very few bonnets worn Jus.
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 little rich cream
Limerick lace put upon it in form Of
bows or drapery: There may be steel
or gilt buckle, but no color. Nearly all
~dressy summer costumes have 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 60 out of their establish
ments, 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 accor-
dion plaits from top to bottom of the
skirt. The waist was made in the same
way. There was small yoke made of
several bias spring folds of the same.
There was short apron drapery across
the front, edged with a deep pinked ruff
fe, and in the back a sash of the full
width of the liberty reaching to the bot
tom. With this was yellow straw hat,
with shirrings under the brim Of the
same liberty. Outside were loops Of black
velvet and q whole bunch Of water grass
In Nile shades.
Twas 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 filmiest 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
.cheviot and thick crash; also Of the beau
tiful Deimel linen mesh. This has here
tofore been used exclusively for fine n.y.
gienic underwear, but womankind have
seized upon it and wrested it from the
masculine portion Of humanity and are
now having shirt waists, blazers and
yachting and garden party suits of it. 1t
resembles honeycomb armure in weave at
a distance, but, seen closely, it is found
to be as open as brussels net and OF a
frmness and solidity almost unimagined.
It is so porous that it is an ideally cool
waist, and it washes as finely as crash
towel. That means that it always looks
like new. From the popularity Of its
weave and the richness Of it's appearance
in itself very little if any trimming is re-
quired.
One suit for belle of Newport has
around the skirt three rows Of very mar
row cardinal ribbon foot apart. There
il a row of ribbon on the belt, two on
the sleeves and three on the very wide
reyers added to the shirt waist. At the
Jennings of the points Of the revers was
sailor cravat of red and white checked
silk. There were red kid shoes, red
parasol with red bow and satin straw
alpine hat with 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 q
jaunty 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 gold band around the
white cap.
Another costume had to match It q
parasol which was a fluff and puff OF
white silk null, with no end Of deep ruff
f1es. The hat which went with this was
of lilac straw, with draped trimming OF
violet and pink tulle standing high in
front The collar had high points under
the ears. This seems to be quite ia
yorite with those who make thin dresses
Saratoga dresses had one general de-
sign. They were Of the sheerest and
thinnest of stuffs covered with lace in
sertions or ruffles of the finest and most
cobwebby kinds. At this favored spot
the palest of tints and the daintiest OF
ribbons and laces look best against the
background Of perfect vegetation, where
every one Is ready to resolve into orig
inal conditions from the heat.
But for one girl that finds a rich hus
band at Newport dozen become en-
gagged at Saratoga. There is too much
going in for good time at Newport fol
people to take time to court, whereas
1hey fall an easy prey at Saratoga.
There are new pocketbooks, with one
part made secure and strong for money
. and another left open to carry gloves
samples or handkerchief in. The way
skirts are made it is impossible for 6
pocket to be put in without spelling the
''set" of the skirt, SO it is necessary tt
carry ones handkerchief in ones hand
For this the new portmanteau. The eter
nal supply follows the eternal demand.
