I az IL there was no end to them. Mrs.
Jimmie" was stunning in a
white French batiste. closely covered with
small black dots trimmed in narrow in
~sertions of fine black lace and sashed with
pale-blue louisene. Her hat was also pale
blue. which is one OF her best colors. by
the way. harmonizing perfectly with her
dark hair and clear complexion. one big
blue plume wound round the brir of the
! tulle hat according To the late Paris no.
ton.
Mrs. Howard Benoist. too. was equally
charming in an ecru batiste. covered with
satin dots in the same tone. and a faint
turquoise-tinte9 straw hat of open mesh:
trimmed with very fiat. pale-pink roses
and quantities of foliage. These dotted ecru
batistes Were very popular. Mrs. Hunt
Turner wore one: also Carroll West.
Florence Vests frock was ecru. but one
of thos, embroidered robes with much cut
work about il.
Mrs. Max Kotany was gorgeously ar
rayed in foulard OF blue shade. trimmed in
lois of heavy Irish lace. laid fiat on the
bodice; touches of chiffon. black velvet
and various other dainty furbelows appear
/ ing wherever they were needles Mrs.
i Selby Barnes. who came out just in time
for dinner. wore a filmy French gray crepe.
trimmed in the lace. without which no

cred with large blush roses.
There is no gainsaying the fact that these
toilets add greatly to the ensemble as
their wearers stroll about the lawns or
stand in picturesque groups overlooking the
I field. / wonder how some OF them manage
l to keep so immaculate in the long car
| journey. for nearly everybody goes to the
| Country Club by street railway. The per-
sons who drive constitute a very small mi
| nority.
] In addition to these two distinct and
| separate styles of dressing. there is also
that element of the clubs membership
which comes out prepared for the evening
hop and is gowned accordingly.
Here one sees silk muslins and similar
summer dancing materials made up into
the d~aintiest of frocAs. usually high
| necked, with elbow sleeves; and. OF
course. covered during the afternoon sports
by long coaching cloake. Mary Kennard
! wore a white silk null with lots of fluffy
lace about ii. and touched with palest pink
in the form OF a soft sash and choux; while
her inseparable friend, Miss Dillon. was IN
white serge. also lace-trimmed, the sleeves
open and lowing. with odd tuckal Sallie
Walsh, too. came out In semievening dress.
wearing white silk and lace.
Now, when you count in the other cos
tunes which are usually some form of mild
afternoon toilet. such as a modest foulard.
plainly fashioned. or an elaborate white
gown of lace Insertions. held together by
the scantiest amount Of organdy or batiste, |
and always enhanced by gay-colored rib
bons. such as Mrs. Duncan Joy wore and |
Mime. De Gheest. you have. at the very
least. five distinct varieties of afternoon |
dress. any one Of which has many advo- |
Gates and all OF which are. to every intent
and purpose, perfectly correct.
1t merely resolves itself into a question of
taste. and for my part l find the varied re-
suit extremely pleasing.
Nearly everybody has by this time settled
plans as tc the summers journeying. Now
that the European travellers have set sail, |
those who propose to spend a month or we
