a CHEEKY snap to the otherwise sober
costume.
1 suppose the last word has been
spoken regarding the up to date golf
ing gown, the ubiquitous shirt waist
and skirt, but reckIessly extravagant
girls are affecting the all white linen
suit on the links. And very fetching
is a costume of this kind when in its
first stage of pristine beauty, but the in
evitab1e dab of mud ruins it. For row.
ing, yachting and tennis the sailor suit
is de rigueur, and white flannel with a
fine hair stripe of blue is rivaling linen
and serge as a material for the suit.
The girl who has a pretty round white
throat is having her sailor frock cut
out just a little at the neck and dis
cards the V shaped shield to which her
less fortunate sister will faithfully
cling in spite of fashions edict. The
long cloak of linen or serge to wrap
around her when the breezes blow is
the glory of the yaehtswoman's heart
The jaunty little plated skirt of white
canvas, with it's accompanying double
breasted box coat trimmed with gold
buttons bearing the yachts ensign. is
an alluring costume for the tall, slim
summer girl.
If it were not such a decidedly linen
season it would be a pongee one. These
two fabrics in one way or another
seem to monopolize large part of the
wardrobe. There are five shades OF

lawns of Puteaux and of the
polo clubs are as fashionable
n a rendezvous as ever this
summer. Luncheons or o'clock teas
at either of these clubs crown the busy
afternoon of the smart Partisan. The
calm and quiet of these vast. shady
parks are infinitely refreshing with the
perfumed breeze waited from the flow
ers of the Bots after the noise and
glare of the gay capital. Taking tea
under the shelter of one of the huge
red umbrellas that dot the lawn and
look like overgrown peoples while re-
clining in a comfortable lounging chair
is bliss enough for the average mortal
for the time being. A cynic from the
weather bureau predicts a forty days
rain, but until the deluge we will en-
joy our days at Puteaux. And what
lovely gowns the women are wearing
at these outdoor functions. They US
uaIly dress in white from head to foot,
and nothing is more attractive or more
feminine than these dainty, pure robes
of white that shed on the landscape
around as well as on the heart of the
beholder ray of light and joy.
Nine. Recamier, who was a true CO.
quette, is said never to have worn any
thing but white, and no ornaments save
pearls ever adorned her queenlike
figure. This past mistress in the gentle
art of pleasing was certainly right
Nothing can equal the fiImy, poeticaI
charm of soft, white draperies which
lend transparent delicacy to the skin.

fashion are very smart for afternoon
wear. and many of the best dressed
Partisan women don costumes of this
silk at the Puteaux al fresco tea par
ties.
The blue ribbon, too, has gone to
white top wraps. The pongee coats
that came in with such a flourish of
trumpets have given place to the new
white and cream French serge coats
that reach to the top of the skirt hem.
They are loose and double breasted
lined with china silk and trimmed with
cuffs and collars of embroidery Pocket
maps at the sides are convenient to slim
the hands through when the skirt is
to be held up. These serge coats clean
as easily as a pocket handkerchief. and
their usefulness will be obvious when
/ tell you that in the fall they are to be
worn as theater wraps. with the addi-
ton of cuffs and collars of macrame
cord with deep fringes.
Ultra smart women have taken adj

How much time during her life doe,
the average woman spend before hel

answer has been furnished by patient
observer.
Taking a period beginning at tn,
sixth year and ending at the SEVENTEEN
he says that a girl from six to ten year,
old remains every day about sever
minutes before her mirror; from ter
to fifteen years old, a quarter of al
hour; from fifteen to twenty years old
twenty-five minutes, and from twent.
to twenty-five years old, twenty fiv,
minutes From her twenty fifth to heI
thirtieth year the average woman
spends not less than half an hour eacl
day before her looking glass.
Women, as they grow older. he says
spend less time in this way, so tina
from fifty to sixty years old only 81,
minutes are thus occupied daily. Thu
the total amount of time spent by tn,
average woman is practically eigh
months, including nights.

styles of shoes. Several years ago
every woman who went in for sport in
cluded numerous pairs of outing shoes
in her wardrobe, but all built on the
same model with slight variations To-
day she has a collection as varied as
the array of slippers owned by a de-
butante. Each special sport demands
a special kind of footwear. The pref
test golf shoes are of buckskin in a
deep rich shade of tan. They are
strapped and stitched on all parts of
the shoe where there is the slightest
strain. which is a very necessary pre-
caution on a shoe that must stand all
