considered as a fair opening for d

previous attempts at the establish

short lived the new venture may be
based upon a more stable financial
basis and remain to reap the reward
thereof. To the new venture is ex.

But to return to the beautiful wash
gowns which are being. or about to be,
made for the coming summer. Ever since
the New Year the members of the smart set
have beer planning and consulting with
their couterieres concerning the arrangement
of these beautiful fabrications. 1t depends
entirely where the fair wearer intends to
spend the summer and to what use she
means to put her gowns, as to what the
foundation is to be made of. If the climate
be cool or damp. as is most generally the
case at the seashore. then a silk lining is
selected because OF the added warmth and
protection IL gives. But the leading mo-
distes say that even such rich women as
Mrs. Aston and Mrs. Vanderbilt are often

must pay quite $50. she will be able to get

Use of Grape u

One of the wholesale fruit dealers OF this
city remarked the other day that the big
gest Increase in his trade this year was
owing to the public developing a fondness
for shaddocks, or pomios. as the East In
dams call them. Not so many years ago it
was impossible to sell II grape fruit outside
of New York City, and even here the de-
mand has been restricted.
An occasional epicure insisted upon hav-
ing one for breakfast during the season. but
it was a waste of money to keep them in
small markets.: it was necessary. when
wanted. TO order beforehand from ones
grocer.
To-day not only are tons of grape fruit
sold or Manhattan Island. but all through
the country. in small inland towns. they are
part of the regular stock and are disposed
of in great numbers. Americans have
learned to appreciate their refreshing quail
tiles. and. as a rule, they serve as the first
breakfast course.
To prepare properly the grape fruit shou,d
be cut horizontally in two equal parts. the
center pitch. of fiber. removed; flesh
drenched with West India rum and now
dered sugar. and then set In the ice box
until very cold. Another excellent way IL
to remove the fiber, cut the pulp in cubes.

Curacao and some powdered sugar.

TIL elbow sleeve finds many adherents
for wash gowns. and the fashion has called
forth an unusual demand for the beautiful
cld-fashioned lace mitt of the days of our
grandmother. They are now made in most
attractive patterns. and while shielding a
part of the arm not always desirable to ex-
hibit, yet still they reveal enough of its
soft, creamy hues to give added charm tn
one so gowned. Then, too. is there any
more satisfactory way of showing off the
bejeweled fingers than by means OF a lace
m:tt? For those who do not care for the
mitt the lower part of the sleeve l., often
made of some sheer embroidery or lace cor
responding in style to the trimming Of the

The skirts of thin gowns are not being

This is certainly a costume to attract all
eyes, as .miladl strolls through the village

The Mercerized cottons which are so pro-
fusely shown this season have given new
impetus to the vogue of wash materials,
and it depends entirely upon the thickness
or thinness Of the goods as to the time and
place Of their exhibition. For morning
wear at the Newport Casino, or at a Bar
Harbor concert, nothing can be lovelier
than these sheer mulls and gauzes with
their glittering sheen as of finest silk, and
deliberately ornamented with the newest
imported furnishings. Mrs. Belmont has just
ordered a host of such gowns in the vari-
Gus tones of red and yellow so much az
fected by her. and which are so intensely
becoming to her brunette beauty. Tho
cendre locks of Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt are
to be thrown in relief by the yellows and
greens displayed in the many ruffes and
friils of mousselines and cotton grenadines.

Dainty Shirt Waist of Essentially
Feminine Quality.
Not that the shirt waist girl is to be a
nonentity-a thing of the past; far from it.
For she has very cleverly found out that
she must bow to the inevitable if she would
retain a modicum of the homage so lately
