Correspondence Of The Journal.
Great possibilities exist in the fluffy
boa, beautiful accessory; drawn up
when cool breezes demand, or mature
age must be concealed, or thrown back
when lovely, white neck is to be dis
played. The most charming are of
mousseline-de-soire, or chiffon edged
with lace; sometimes with white silk
showing pinked edges, or of white
grenadine ribbon edged with black, and
long ends may be managed with ex-
quisite grace, or medium-length ones
have the new handkerchief end," which
is square, appearing about half way
down.
LINENS ARE THE MOST ATTRACTIVE
breakfast dresses at Saratoga, the mer-
cerized linens ranking first, but as they
are as expensive as elegant, many con-
tent themselves with the gray, brown,
red or blue linen. Blue burlap is
pretty substitute for linen, and dotted
Swiss, lawns, or lightweight black
canvas orretamine skirts and handsome
shirt-waists are convenient for the
early hours of the day, and sufficiently
dressy to ''pass muster on hotel
piazzas while enjoying the morning
concert.
| EVERYBODY WHO VISITS SARATOGA
has at least one fQulard silk, the most
useful of costumes, pretty enough for
afternoon or evening; always trimmed
with lace, and charming contrasts are
brought about by pink and white foul
ards trimmed with black lace, or blue
and heliotrope with ecru orivory-white
lace. The perishable organdy, both in
white or colors, appears on all sides,
and one almost tires of lace insertions
or lace edged rutf1es; nevertheless
sashes produce some change, as all
varieties are seen. Narrow black vel
vet put on in squares over lace inser-
ton contrasts well with yellow organdy,
or white lace squares on blue organdy.
Belts are all widths. and tall, slender
young girls wear wide silk sashes hav-
ing knotted fringed ends with excellent
effect, tied at one side, these coming
under the head of belts rather than
sasheS. Pointed belts, narrow belts,
gilt velvet or leather belts all are
fashionable.
COMBINATIONS OF BLACK AND WHITE
for evening are very stylish, and an
elegant costume sent up for particu-
lar occasion by Lord & Taylor of New
York City, had white silk underskirt
with wide chiffon rutfies edged by rows
of narrow black grenadine ribbon,
gathered at the center. Over this was
a skirt of open-work batiste, with a
deep rutfie of black Chantilly lace, put
on almost plain, with graceful floral
designs turning upwards over the
batiste. At the back inch-wide velvet
Topped at regular distances with a
bunch of pink rose buds at each loop
ing, answered the purpose of a sash.
THE CoRsAGE
had narrower lace in harmony around
the shoulders and down each side of the
front, belowa gilt spangled batiste yoke,
with knotting of black ribbon velvet
and pink rose buds at the left side.
Black lace sprays trimmed the elbow
sleeves, and twists of black and white
! maline finished the edges and collar as
I well.
) ANOTHER HANDSOME EVENING DRESS
worn by a Philadelphia belle was of blue
mousseline- de-soie, the upper skirt tuck
ed throughout, with deep tlounce, up
on which were four narrow rutfles, fin
ished with blue satin ribbon, gathered
to fall in tiny scallops. The waist was
an Elton jacket with lace front, lace
elbow sleeves edged with blue satin rib
bon, and gilt belt and collar.
THE OLD, OLD-FASHIONED LACE MITTS
have been revived and come in lengths
to suit long, elbow or very short sleeves.
These last are expensive, as they are
suitable for elegant evening dresses
Lace silk gloves with fingers are also a
novelty, and appropriate for dressy oc-
casions. Suede Lisle gloves are favorites
here, and also the suede, which are thin
and cool. Lace effects are prominent in
hosiery, and as it is very easy to draw
the skirt little high, much handsome
hosiery is on exhibition. Colored en-
broidery on black in tiny rosebuds, or
small figures is very popular or just now
the flags of various colleges are embroid-
cred on the instep. VERONA CLARKE.
