Nowhere else in America can such a
| variety of fashion or eccentricity be
seen as in this unique place, where the
desire for health or pleasure causes the
obscure individual to gaze admiringly
upon the charming toilettes of the mil
lionaire's wife. OF the latter to covet
the fresh, fair and tranquil face OF the
former. Greater diversity of costume
exists in the morning than at other
times, and linens, piques, dotted foul
ards, dotted and striped Swiss muslins,
mohair suits in blue, gray tan, pearl or
white, are so attractive that no better
entertainment can be devised than to
watch the passer-by. Mercerized linens
are really elegant-very simply made,
with stitched plaits and Elton jackets
sometimes with an oriental silk sailor
collar. Independent skirts and waists
were never more ENTHUSIASTICALLY a
high grade of both, and white waists are
embroidered, tucked, with hemstitching
in addition, or ''all over" embroidery,
or of satin ribbon and lace alternating,
not forgetting hundred different styles
of silk waists.
ALMOST EVERY FEMININE
Has a foulard silk, and the larger

white lace; skirts generally made with a
plating, or circular tlounce, to which
the over skirt is fastened although cut

tatfeta costume worn by a Baltimore
belle. The rage for black velvet is un-
precedented. spreading from the hotel
chambermaids to the wealthy guest.
Every one wears a black velvet ribbon
around the neck, or velvet collar.

| SILK NULL HATS
Are more beautiful than ever, with

and converging at the waist, are quite
popular, the corsage and sleeves in
keeping-the ever present accordion

narrow lace insertion matching the
wide bands.
SHOES AND HOSIERY
DO not necessarily match this season,
and tan shoes are still the stand by
for morning, with or without blue
hosiery. A black patent leather Oxford
tie with heavy soles is appropriate for
any but an evening costume, then the
low cut slipper appears newest dot

very fashionable. All red slippers are
also in vogue, looking very pretty in the
evening with white costume
