sort of creamy blue, something on the
gray and nearest to cadet Of any of
the prevailing shades. Its name,
says the correspondent, was taken
from the street dress which Alice
Roosevelt wore at the time Of the
Inauguration. There is an Alice hat,
says this writer, which is turned up at
the back and banked with small flowers.
1t is worn way over the face. Both
the hat and the Alice blue color are
very pretty and becoming
Thanks are conveyed to the correspon-

Alice blue and also for the news about
the Alice hat. That both are smart
there is little doubt, nor that both con-
tribute to the beauty and comfort of
the feminine world
To be well dressed is the aim of every
woman who visits a summer resort.
She may not long for beauty, but she
certainly aspires to be called well
gowned.
Newport has her good dressers this
season. and the gowns that are dis
are remarkable, not only for their
smartness. but for their delicacy- They
combine all the pretty features of sum-
mer gowns.
Who is the best dressed woman of
he season. was recently asked of "a
Newport sojourner. The first reply was:
1.-The Duchess of Manchester but
there arose visions of beautiful dresses
worn by others, and particularly those
affected by the English society women
who are visiting America this summer.
The Princess Colouna, daughter OF
Mrs. John w Mackay. brought over
some lovely summer gowns. which SEEM
ed quite inexpensive, even though they
might have cost great deal one OF
these was n very pretty dress with a
double ripple around fhe foot. 1t was
built of n very thin violet material,
looking like fine linen lawn, and II was
lined with voilet lawn and trimmed with
violet hued lace. The gown was one of
the sort that is pretty all summer and
can he worn next winter as house
dress.
The double ripple. which is such a
feature of the new summer gowns. is
managed by setting a scalloped and
sbaned founce Ground the foot. The
founce Is cut in scallops. which are ar
ranged In a draped effect Underneath
this dornce there is another one which
sets ont smartly and is as full as 1t
can well be. This gives the full ripple
around the bottom which Is the ann Oh

eiates with flannel petticoats ef gen
Grafton ago 1t is now used in great
quantities upon linen daesses and it
makes one of the most durable of trim
mings
Gross stitch embroidery is used in
the shape OF bands ano panels to deco~
rate the stock, the cuffs, the vests and
the girdle. 1t is also used for skirt
trimmings A little gay cross stitch en-
broidery gives a gown the touch Of finish
which is necessary TO its SUCCESS
The Roumanian, Bulgarian and Or
iental embroideries are too well known
TO need much description. They are used
Tor trimming purposes and are particu-
larly good upon silk waists and upon
flannel blouses and on cloth gowns.
Their vogue is great and it has come to
pass that their popularity is such
that no gown seems to be quite COM
plete without q little Orientallsm in the
shape Of bright embroidery It may
be only band; It may be a narrow
panel; 1t may be set Of smart lapels;
i may be pair of deep gauntlets; it
may be whole girdle or it may be
nothing more than a couple of big COW
cred buttons. But, whatever it IS, the
touch OF Orientalism Is there
But by far the best embroidery Of
the season is the French ribbon en-
broidery. This is seen upon the hand
somest frocks and it is successful in
nearly every case in which It is employ
ed. 1t is used upon day gown and gowns
for evening 1t is seen upon the hand
some dresses OF voiie and silk canvas
and also upon taffeta dresses. 1t is very
pretty on velvet and lovely where tbs
thin fabrics are concerned.

ribbon embroidery 1@se ribbon which
was half an inch wide was Shirred upon
both edges and was SeTled in pretty pat
terms upon the drcSS- Upon the skirt
it took the form CT great ribbon swirls.
The blouse was exQdisitely trimmed to
match.
"A black ribbon embroidered gown
was trimmed with narrow black taffeta
ribbon shirred along one edge. And an
other ribbon embroidered dress was
trimmed with the ribbon machine stitch
ed right through the middle, which
made quite novel form Of trimming"

Much Material Required.

From a glance at the summer dresses
you would say that we are not so far
away from the crinolined effects AS a
modiste expresses it:
There is very little crinoline in actual
use, but there are many crinolined eff
fects. One may get the effect TO crino-
line without actually going into it,
Sleeves are puffed ont at the should
er. but the puffs are made by using
great quantities of material. and skirts
are very bouffant around the foot, but
the fullness is caused by the use OF rip
pies of the same material ana by frills
and by many founcings, one used over
the other and by the way Of cutting the
goods.
When you buy your dress material
this summer. for 1t is now the very hey
day of the bargains. be sure to get
enough. 1t is season when a great
deal of material IS needed Instead of
buying sixteen yards OF silk, you must
buy twenty and, If you are wise and
the material is narrow you will get
twenty-five and even thirty. You will
need the goods.
A customer went into a shop the other
day to buy some tea colored peau dc
cyPne. This is glossy silk. which
feels like taffeta but which has q great
deal more luster and is admirable for
any use TO which 1t is put In tea
color, which is a reddish brown. II IS
lovely and can be worn for a summer
piazza gown, and later. for a very
dressy reception costume. 1t will always
be good as long as an inch of It re-
mains
The customer who is an excellent
buyer. asked for very large dress
pattern. "Give me enough for two or
binary dresses she said TO the clerk
at the silk counter. The clerk hesitated,
poistng the material In his hands Il
am going to make two pairs of sleeves. "

Dressy Makeshifts for Summer.

The summer threatens to be a very
dressy one, or, rather. it threatens to be
very destructive one, for heirlooms
are slaughtered. fine lcceS are cut up
and appiiqued, beautiful Oriental en-
broideries are cut in narrow strips and
used as bands, quaint silks worn for
ages in the Philippines are made into
vests. and furs which were too costly
TO be worn for every day are now
brought out and cut into strips
The summer woman Is making ducks
and brakes of her heirlooms and seems
pleased at the chance to do so. If you
have heirlooms. or have access to an
old family trunk, now is your chance
to go to work upon it. Take out the
contents and turn them over to your
dressmaker, o. If you are clever, take

them into the sewing room and make
them up yourself.
In London, where there are many
daughters to each family, and where
the mother must make a showing upon
her income, there are many makeshifts
which one does not see here An Eng
lish mother, when she buys a gown for
her daughter, buys one that will turn
well. 1t must be goods which looks as
well on one side as on the other. In
this way she looks ahead toward a new
dress when this one is gone. With
a sharp knife and plenty Of patience
she rips up the old dress. turns it. and
trims it in some new way, thus making
new gown out of an old one
In high society there is a certain big
family Of many daughters who must
manage on very little. This season there
was in the wardrobe a cotton voile In
brown and white check 1t had been
worn year and was hopeless But
the seams tress of the family took it and
made the shoulders bouffant by pulling
Up the sleeves until the elbow puffS were
at the shoulders. She then trimmed the
elbows with handsome ruff1es of white
embroidery The neck she finished
with a chemisette Of English eyelet en-
broidery. Around the foot Of the skirt
she set three ruff1es of plain brown cot

looked like new

is white duck, very thin and looking
like linen. This, too, Is
made with the very fashionable redin-
cote, three-quarter length, snugly fitted
around the waist line, blousing over
the belt IN front and falling in full
skirts from the waist nearly to the
ground. The touch of pink Is found IN
the wonderful pink roses which are
embroidered all over the gown.
1t is harvest season for the woman
who cannot spend a great deal and in
proof of this there need be cited only
one gown. a dress, by the way, which
was made in Paris and sent over here
to be worn at Newport. 1t Is made
Of yelling very much like Voile, and it
is built upon the very pretty lines Of the
summer The skirt is box plated front
and back with little side plaits laid all
around. By some trick of cutting the
skirt is full around the foot and this
fullness is exaggerated by the petticoat
which is worn with il. The waist is a
belted Eton with an embroidered belt
and embroidered fronts and an en-
broidered pair Of cuffs, a neat summer
suit for any person to wear, and one
that costs very little.
There are novelties in dress, and
among the novelties may be counted the
flying sleeves, which are coming in.
These consist of sleeves, fitting rather
snugly inside. but with the outer side
arranged in a marvellous manner. Upon
one pair of sleeves you see great full
wing effects near the shoulder. Another
has the upper side of the sleeve all
gathered. Another pair of sleeves, built
for a stouter arm, is made with all the
fullness high up but with the lower part
quite plain. Wonderful are the new
sleeves and smart is she who makes a
study of them.

Your doctor says you must

means SCOTS Emulsion be-
cause you cannot take the
