Fond of Sunburn.
Sun worship had a evfva in
fashionable circles in the east, says an
exchange 1t is not. perhaps, the glor-
1ous orb of day that is esteemed so high
~ as the change he effects in feminine
complexion At any rate, sunburaed
maids and matrOnS are all the rage at
the seaside resorts, and the woman who
can not show a tinge of brown upon her
brow, cheek or shoulder is not in the
swim at all.
The women who are cultivating the
dark skin are mostly actresses who are
at the beach for the summer In former
years a woman who was tanned thought
herself unfit to appear ON the streets,
but someone started the sunburn COM
plexion as a fad, and now it is fashion
able. The women are all determined to
win the wagers they have made, and
from the time the sun makes it's appear
ance in the early morning until il sinks
out of sight in the evening they sit
about on the unprotected benches or lie
on the sand, their faces turned oward
the sun. None of them wear hats and
most of them wear short sleeves or keep
their sleeves rolled up so that their arms
can share the tan with their faces.
Some one has discovered that the sun
is an excellent hair tonic. The ~discovere
is said to have been a baldheaded man
who went to the beach to battle. The
top of his head got bur and sore.
When the soreness disappeared the bald
headed man found that his dead hair
had taken root, and a month later, SO
the story goes, he promised to rival one
of the seven long-haired sisters. This,
the women say, is why they never wear
hats. Their hair has become leached
by the sun, but they expect h bleach
to wear off in a short time and the
good results of the sun baths to follow.

Some Dainty Gowns.
An elaborate up to date gown has a
flowing mantle of white gauze striped
with gold lines. There is a fitted under
dress of rose satin held about the waist
by a high belt of panne of the same
color. About the shoulders is a large
bertha of fine lace and silk muslin that
is fastened on the bust with bows of
black velvet and falls in two cascades
down the skirt.
An Empire gown of pale green Liberty
satin has a yoke of linen embroidered
with gold thread. The gown falls in
pleats from the yoke and is trimmed
about the bottom by demonstrations OF
black and white lace.
Very odd is a deshabille of pink silk
arranged in a tight, perfectly fitting
princess. over this is a tunic. shorter
in front than in the back, of white NOUS
seine de sole. arranged in small box
pleats. This hangs in straight folds
from the shoulders. About the half low
neck is a deep collar of art guipure stud
/ ded with jets, and the same lace makes
i lowing half sleeves over close, puffed
| sleeves of the mousseline- The tunie is
nowhere so long as the pink skirt, and
the latter is trimmed about the bottom
with a line of sable.
A smart touch on a negligee of bro
caded blue silk is a bow of black velvet
placed at the back of the chokerless
gown with long ends that fall almost to
the floor. This idea is of course bor-
/ rowed from the fashionable choker with
its long ends. Another effective use Of
black velvet is or a gown of primrose
l yellow mcusseline de sole. the ribbon be-
ing used in the form of a latticewerk
to make a closed bolero that confines the
loose folds of the soft stuff.
In the autumn frocks are a good many
