Fashions at Newport.
From Our Regular Correspondent.



August u, 1902.
. Bellevue Avenue during the afternoon Is
the chosen time for display of fine millinery
and in this department. an on n-looker can see
beautiful hats Of Tuscan, chrysanthemum,
satin or Neapolitan straw, trimmed with chiffon
or tulie that united preferably with garlands
OF apple blossoms or small roses, are truly
fairy like. Some Neapeiitans are in two
shades of one color or In white and black.
Hats in delicate shade of green, are very
stylish and these are trimmed with green
leaves and white flowers, 10 which are some
times added pale green and white ribbon.
Black Chanlllly lace ends at the back of
hats, are noticeable and black lace in general
IS frequently placed as an offset to bright red
peoples or geraniums. A modicum of hats
also show IN finish, an entire bird wings or
quilts in either pure white or black, set in the
centre of light floral garlands. Hats made
with crowns of linen batiste and brims of
chrysanthemuni straw, are seen and utility
examples show balste scarf edged with
heavier linen and adorned by applique disks
OF black velvet. Emerald green has evidently
taken position as millinery color and the
same striking hue is noticeable in belts, coll
lars, parasols, wells or gloves
At garden parties, Crepe de Chine gowns
are in great favor, and some of the prettest
are trimmed by moiifs and insertions of black
Chantilly lace and worn with large black lace
hats finished respectively by sweeping black
plumes. To blondes or gray haired women.
these hats are immensely effective. A gown
of pale green crepe de chine. was RECENTLY
worn by one of the -Four Hundred and the hat
was in pale green tule under black lace.
Elbow sleeves have induced demand for
bracelets and monogram fnishngs in gold,
jet, beading, steel or silver fiagree are placed
on pins, dog collars, .chateleines, belts or par.
asols. Cassolettes, suggestive of the olden
time pouncet boxes, are also one ofthe latest
conceits for summer use. These charming
ornaments are made IN fancy shapes and
usually of silver, though many are seen in
enamel. They are generally attached TO the
chateleine, placed in a ladys bag or held in
the hand and are likewise sometimes carried
in a gentleman's vest pocket. The dainty
little trinkets just mentioned, have small holes
through which some fragrant scent is exhaled
from an absorbent pad placed within and
scented with the favorite perfume Of the
wearer. Murray 4 Lauman's Florida water
is greatly in demand for usein this way, be-
cause ofitsreviving deicacy and permanency.
An attractive cassolette is /, simulated silver
heart, having three Tiny piercings; others are
richly enameled in .taeur de lis, acorn, or other
shapes and some in the latter, are closed and
must be opened to impart fragrance Casso-
lettes for gentlemen's use, are. fat, without
means OF attachment and circular.
A garden party gown recently worn by a
New York belle Is of creamy lace over pale
green silk and in keeping, were gloves, para
sol and belt. The hat was pale green Neapo-
Titan straw trimmed with green leaves, white
roses and plume to match, with chour of
creamy lace. A dres of ecru linen batiste
with Oriental embroidery aud guipure
lace in stripes, is made over silk to match the
contrast between the bright, yet
softly refined embroidery and the dress fabric,
being sufficient in ITSELF Another gown worn
by visitor from Philadelphia, is in Dolly
Warden silk showing satin stripes. The skirt
is finished by a wide flounce ofmousseline and
