Now that it Is so fashionable to live out of doors the greater pact of the time, quite different style of dress is necessary, espe- eially as all sorts. of outdoor aInusements are indulged in. At one time the only pos sihle afternoon gown--that Is. any very elab- crate one intended for garden parties, re- captions or any madly gay enterta inment of that sort--wns made in most elaborate de sign. with quantities of lace and many yards of ribbon, and in fact, precisely on the lines of q ST sner ball gown. excepting thnt the waist was high necked. There are. to he every fashionable outfit of the summer, but at the same time these are net the only gowns required. There must be as well gowns of rather heavier material not nee essarily warmer than were those of the olden time, when high-Decked and long-sleeved silk Things were deemed necessary. but such ma terials as heavy linen in all the fancy weaves. light clothes and eveu-veifings, while silk. taf- feta. pongee and fouiard are all In favor for just Ercfp use.

 After the dinner the guest was told. You are tired now; you must go up to your room and have a rest and up she went to her room with her colored girl. The rooms were large and opened on what they called gal leries, running around the house. The maid gave the guests hair a good brushing took of her shoes and stockings. rubbed her feet and put her comfortably to bed ln night wrapper. with pitcher of water and glass beside the bed. After an hour or so one was called, and after dressing. came down to the porch and sat around talking of friends and the news generally, for the South then was like big family and news was eagerly sought after. As soon as 1t was cooi enough everyone went into the garden or strolled where she pleased, until tea was announced at half-past five. At this meal was served cold chicken, cold ham, biscuit, egg corn, bread and light rolls, smoking hot :: several kinds of preserves. perhaps a light lettuce salad, and at least four kinds of cake. and coffee and tea. with large pitcher

pongee and red mohar gowns that are made I'D for afternoon wear Is astonishing. Red chiffon gowns hitherto considered only ap- propriate for house or evening wear are also fashiona ble for the afternoon. They are very smart and are smartest when unre- lieved by any trimming of white or black, and even the hat to wear with them must needs be of the same color. Red hats also that for time were too popular to be fash ionnble, are being worn by the smartest of women. and with white. black or even gowns Of other colors After all. red Is beeom- ing to the majority of women which is prob ably one reason why the fashion has come In again. and back again also are the green hat and the green parasol. White hats. trimmed with green white gowns worn with green tats and parasols and all green hats re quite as much in demand as they were last year, and. fsanything. the shnde of green appears to be more vivid. But then. in truth. this season it would seem 10 he more n matter of what Is becoming and effective rather than the following bllndly of any dictate of fash ion.
 Yelling. combined with chiffon. is one of the popular fashions of the season. and most charming combination 1t is, for while yelling Is a soft, more or less pliable ma terial. chiffon Is much softer and more be- coming For sleeves. fronts and pleatngS the chiffon adds wonderfully to the yelling. which it must needs match exactly in color.
