The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1901-08-23

they do now, aud that more in the
way Of light and pretty summer attire
than heavy and costly materials. There
are SO many different ways of dress
ing well that it would require a whole
book TO explain them all But the
whole gist of it is to dress according
to the demands of the SURROUNDINGS.
So, as Asbury is warm and is Sociable
and there are so many delightful shady
places to sit in and have the ever
beautiful trees and shrubbery as a
background, and as the board walk
and hotel pia2zas afford SO excellent a
chance to show ones prettiest things.
it is no wonder that many new gowns
Of special beauty find their oppor-
tunity there.
| have in my minds eye a lovely
organdie in the softest Of resada green.
with darker Shadings Of the same
color as design The whole is 50 cool
and pleasing to the eye that one could
believe that in far off France the de-
signcr had by some occult vision seen
the bright sand ana glaring beach and
thought out this dress to repose the
eyes from too much sun. 1t is as cool
rs the waves that one secs curling up
forever ready to fail in snowy foam.
Well poetry aside. this gown is cool
to the sight as well rs to the sense, and
being SO it is a thing of beauty and
will be a JOY until it gets some of that
same salt water on it.
So this dress is of organdie. and we
know the color The form now inte~.
ests US. The skirt has two flounces.
the lower one deeper than the other
and each is tucked at the top. the fine
tucks running out about three inches
from the top, At the bottom is a full.

lilly insertion. Down the center of the
front is a line of narrow insertion, also
black. The waist is tucked in the
same general way and has the lace
galloon set around il, as can he seer
by the illustration. 1t is open in front
to show a chemisette of white chiffon.
and there are some black velvet bows
and a wide velvet belt. The sleeves
are flowing with white chiffon under.
sleeves, and these have velvet bands
The hat to match is Of smoked straw
with black velvet ribbon and a black
plume. The hat has a double brim, and
between the two is a twist of resada
tulle.
There are few white gowns at AS.
bury. Whether Mr. Bradley has barred
them or not do not know, but there
are plenty long, shapeless blue bathing
suits. and of all the ugly things on
earth or in the sea these are the most
horrible But as an offset there are lots
of blue and red duck suits for walking
and they are really smart and add
much to the landscape. Anyhow As
bury is a good place to be in, and if
there are few magnificent brocades and
point lace trimmings and Eicieres OF
diamonds there are plenty pretty cos
tunes and girls TO wear them. Indeed,
| think that Of all the summer resorts
Asbury can show the greatest number
Of beauties-babies and women. And
they all look as if life lad been found
worth the living.
Among some of the gowns seen at
the evening promenade there was one
worth mention as exceedingly tasteful
and elegant It was of delicate
shrimp pink yelling and there were
three ripple founces, each six inches
deep. Each had row of white trOu.
trou insertion. and through this was
run black velvet ribbon. 1t was not
half an inch wide and depended more
on the fineness than the color for eff.
feet. The underdress was bright blue.
and seen dlmly through the yelling it
produced delicate purple. The waist
was V shaped In the neck, and the
front was brought to the left side in
surplice form. The belt was OF silver
braid, with oxidized clasps, In which
were set two large amethyst stones.
There was white fichu made of white
brussels net, and around the edges of
this a row of light oriental lace. The
sleeves were but to the elbow and end
ed with ruffle of lace. A whole bunch
of velvet loops was fixed to the waist
where the fichu fastened and smaller
