STYLES AT NEWPORT. :
Some Fashionable Costumes Seen -
the summer Resort.

Especial Correspondence.
NEWPORT, r. l., July 22.-Why is 10
that a chaperon wears dark or all black
clothes. and why does the injured inno-
cence in a play wear gray, and why
does the very wicked woman with a
past wear red? 1t is to me proof that
our way of dressing indicates much
more of our own character than we
think when such things as 1 have cited
prove so clearly the dramatic pOssibili-
ties. Effect is the one thing sought for
on the stage, and women off it uncon-
sciously adopt the same idea, and so
the chaperon sits demurely on the wide
piazza at Newport and lets. her young
charge do as she likes, only so that no
one sees it, and she wears q black
gown and is invulnerable as a chaperon
and a wise one. The promenade gives
her chance to wear another gown, but
IT must be a fashionable and a hand
some one. Such gown is seen on the
sands of Newport these days, and it is
q pretty one too. There Is a skirt Of
taffeta, and this is covered with one of
the firm iron frame grenadines, sheer
and fine. At the bottom the grenadine
is slashed to within ten inches of the
bottom, and in the slashes are fans
made Of three ffounces of chiffon. And
there is a fiounce at the bottom of the
taffeta skirt with three narrow ruffies
to make it stand out. The waist is very
odd, but pretty. The upper part is of
the grenadine over the taffeta, and
lines of black velvet ribbon extend
from the neck to the bust line There it
is cut off by a line of handsome white
lace insertion. This is also put around
the neck in shape of sailor collar, and
two rows go across the upper part Of
the sleeves. The grenadine in front
pouches out in two deep folds. The rest
Of the waist is of taffeta covered fat
with grenadine. The sleeves are of taf-
feta only save at the top, where the vel
vet is applied.
One of the new girdle belts is worn
with this, and as this special kind of
belt can be worn with many other
things it behooves me to describe it. In
front it is curved at the top and point
ed at the bottom, and in the back it is
deeply pointed top and bottom in a
graceful curve. At the back is a chou
Of silk, with two ends which are gather
ed to bunch and finished with lot OF
loops. The hat to wear with this COS
tune should be of modest but elegant
sort, and that is just what this is. The
frame is Of black lace straw trimmed
with black velvet ribbon and white
chiffon bows and a little lace among the
bows. A parasol should be black. with
white lace insertion and full ruffles Of
black chiffon. 1t is understood that to
be a chaperon to a rich and lovely
young girl does not mean that this pow
erful lady should be sort Of cross be-
tween a dragon and a governess, for
any young married lady can now take
a small dozen girls under her wing, the
only sop thrown to Cerberus being that
the chaperon must wear very sober
clothes.
A fetching suit for one of the buds is
made of cream white clairette, which

erything in wooden material. 1t is silk

cool, too. and deliciously delicate to the
touch. Well, this dress has a skirt
plain around the bottom save for little
points at each seam, where a narrow
slip of black velvet is set, outlined with
a strap Of white stitched many times
with black. This is done in the same
manner that the sleeves are and can be
understood by glance at the illustra-
ton. The pretty waist is combination
OF clairette aud black velvet, with
some small silver buttons to accszt.ate
1t. The hat offered with this is Of white
chip and is simply trimmed with a
double bow of white taffeta. White is a
refined thing to wear at the seaside,
and it is also almost as significant as
the white gowns of Pittsburg, for none
but the very wealthy can afford white
there, 1t is said.
In my pilgrimage today / saw some
astonishing hats for late summer and
more adapted for games and sporting.
They were OF linen and canvas in white
and light colors- For instance, the brim
would be white and the crown pink or
blue or even light green, or the brim
would be in color and the crown white.
The shape Of the crown was like half
muskmelon and the brim just plain
round slightly turned up. These have a
scarf Of some kind around the crown
and little or nothing else. A very few
have a quill or white made feather.
but the best have only the scarf. These
mats win be quite popular, as they are

Novelties

The latest and most sentimental fad
we have ever had in jewelry is the
Douglas heart. 1t is locket. The re.
verse side is of gold, while the front is
of red enamel. In the center are dia-
mond and a fine white line in form of
heart of the approved shape, while the
Douglas heart is made to be graceful
rather than conventional in form.
Around the edge is an incrustation of
pure white diamonds set in FURNISHED
silver. Nothing could be more fascinat-
ing even aside from the romantic inter-
est given by the name, for Douglas is
a name to conjure by. 1t is to be worn
as a pendant to long chain or as a
pin. In every way it is desirable, and

another of white had a row of faint
blue elder down fastened along all the
edges. 1t was put on in tufts and
looked like little flakes of snow. The
fchus are in few cases made of fine
silk null or chiffon and the same de-.
sign of tiny tufts of down set along the
edges and on the center of them. Nat;
nrally these are very perishable, but
they are pretty.
