NEWPORT AND SARATOGA FASH IONS FOR WOMEN READERS.

travelling it requires more than ordi- nary activity to cover two such cities as Saratoga and Newport in the same week, simply for the purpose of study ng the fashions. Nevertheless. the enjoyment of the task is worth the trouble any time and one who has undertaken it is willing to accept such an assignment a second time.
 Newport has not had such a gay season in years as this one has been, consequently there has been an unus- ually brilliant array of beautiful gowns The events that have been and are to be occasioned a great outlay of money for dresses, hats and wraps by fash ionable leaders and these gowns have tion of all who have seen them.
 The majority of gowns that have seen are in linon pongee. Crepe de chine and dotted swiss. The most exclusive designs in the first-namel material are trimmed with the finest of French embroideries. Pale blue linen embroidered in white is very stylish and Miss Alice Roosevelt has affeced it very much this year. One of the most stunning of her costumes has a large Charles TX collar embroid- cred in Persian colors. The skirt has three bands Of white liren sprinkled with tinted French dots, one at the head of the deep circular flounce, one at the hem and another midway be tween.
 The vest has two cross-wise bands of the same material over a simple white foundation. Miss Alice is a simple. unaffected young woman with level head. which has not been at all turned by the homage paid her here.
 Entire costumes of pongee are un- doubtedly the smartest for midsum- mer wear, and the colorings are more and more varied all the time. In the natural color the pongee is very silky, and while in all it is also attractive, somehow, unless in the very expensive qualities. it seems to have a roughness that the natural color lacks.
 The natural color. however. is not becoming to everybody, so the doffer. ent shades of blue, green, grey and brown are continuously in demand. Box plaited and side plaited skirts with coats to match are charming in pon. number of them at Saratoga. There are also other styles that are trimmed with either Hercules or soutache braid or with both kinds, which are exceed ingly pretty.
 One model in pale green is especi ally smart and desirable for the wom an of moderate means in that it may be duplicated in one of the mercerized inexpensive fabrics with excellent re suits. It has a plaited skirt, a short jacket in box plaits. but with deer yoke rather a la Norfolk and is fast ened with enamelled buttons to the jacket itself. In the less costly de sign handsome pearl buttons might be substituted for the enamelled ones.
 Upon the jacket there are lapels ol waistcoats of dark green, very mucf darker in color, which are trimme, with rows of narrow soutache braid There are full undersleeves of whit chiffon or lace or turned back cuffs O the pongee with fancy buttons.
 Another fancy in headgear is th' toque made of crepe de Chine. Ther' comes a grade specially for this pur pose and it is as thin as chiffon al though more lustrous and probabl. Chine can be shirred over any shap and is strikingly picturesque whel done in black and trimmed with pinl and white rosebuds.
 Although the seductiveness of tn modes grows apace, the woman wit a limited dress allowance may yet hop for so far there has been nothing il troduced which has not succumbed t the wiles of the imitator. and as Ion as such commendable commercials ar possible there is a chance for us t be well dressed and stylish
