Correspondence of the Journal.
For the fashionable women here life
certs at the Casino, receptions, balls,
luncheons, coaching, yachting, lawn
tennis, golf or polo; and, in addition, au-
tomobiling has become the rage; and as
summer showers are always to be appre-
hended, or dust to be avoided, a hand
some white rubber coat, trimmed down
the front with double row of elegant
pearl buttons and having black velvet
collar and cuffs, has been adopted by
many leaders in this amusement. In
view of it's special use it is called "The
Automobile"
WHITE CLOTH JACKETS
in both the Elton and fy-front shape,
sometimes trimmed with stitched white
silk bands or silk applique and pearl
buttons, are seen on Bellevue Avenue;
or, in contrast, crimson jackets with
gilt buttons are quite as much used by
stylish residents Crimson cloaks are a
feature of coaching parties; nothing be-
ing too gay for the seashore and particu-
larly for this place. Gray cloth appli-
que connected by ivory-white cluny
lace on a white satin foundation, and
trimmed on sides, at back and front by
festoons of narrow black velvet, was
much admired as one of the most ele-
CANT wraps of the season.
MANY BREAKFAST GOWNS
worn at private residences are exquisite,
of soft, clinging crepe-de-Chine, figured
organdy. or white OF colored silk: some
i'll Empire shape, others partly tight
fitting, with the Vatican plat. The
majority, however, are SIDE plated. One
Of the figured crepe-de- Chine has points
cut out around the lower edge, and
these are bordered with inch-wide
Venetian lace. dotted with green beads.
Marrow black velvet with long ends
ptlhClltu at lllt ltlt Alue NHtdl llic
shoulder on pink crepe-de-Chine is
charming. Lace insertion and ribbon
make up pretty gowns, these being gor-
ed, and connected by lace beading.
Angel sleeves" are almost universal
for negliges, attording opportunity for
the display of a Well-rounded arm.
THE YACHTING SUIT
is always of Importance here, and the
most expensive ere of white serge OF
etamine. the latter requiring a white
silk underskirt. of course with a deep
tiounce \ handsome one of etamine is
trimmed with white tatfeta silk bands,
stitched at both sides, and to avoid
monotony, ole band is laid in box shape
al front and back, the others attached
to a side band depending from the belt
The jacket and sleeves are in keeping,
the fronts of the former drawn together
by d silk scarf.
A BLOUSE WAIST
with sailor collar is the favorite model
for yachting SUITS at the same time few
Etons are seen. Embroidery on plain
linen is preferred by very stylish peo-
pie, as for example blue linen blouse is
embroidered in white stars and anchors,
or white linen may be trimmed with
blue linen or white dotted linen or blue
embroidery; in fact, any well made linen
dress is admissible for yachting: and as
sunburn is a natural consequence of
these outdoor diversions ladies versed in
such matters use Murray 4 Lanman's
Florida water to remove the sting or
smarting sensation of the skin and pre-
vent tan orredness. 1t is always refresh
ing, especially after plunge in the surf,
which is another of Newport's pleasures
SHOES ARE IN GREAT VARIETY
between the different sports or enter
tainments, and the patent leather Ok
ford or tan Oxford, are depended upon
for show and service as well. The !
former is worn with handsome morn |
ing or afternoon costumes, and unless |
it be golf or lawn tennis the latter is |
appropriate for outdoor use. Evening |
slippers of plain colored satin are
noticeably popular, and those of black
velvet with high tongues and large |
buckles are often very expensive; at
the same time they are identifying.
Beaded bronze slippers look charming
with light, tilmy evening dresses, and a
beautiful variety is the Roman cross
strap slipper, which can be fitted to any
instep. VERONA CLARKE.
