Is the ''white fad on the decline,
may be asked after reviewing the gay
throngs at the Casino, the yachting
parties, the garden parties and the
evening dances. Crimson or crushed
strawberry colored suits are often seen
on cool days, with hats and parasols to
match, and long silk gloves of several
shades of blue, green, lavender or brown
always in accordance with the costume)
seem to indicate that colors will soon
rival white. Shoes for dressy wear are
in blue, green, bronze, or lavender with
open-work sides and top, displaying
elegant lace hosiery (of plain colors)
beneath.
NEGLIGEE ROBES
for breakfast at private residences are
dreams of beauty-made of soft Liberty
satin, crepe de Chine, plain or embroid-
cred, batiste embroidery, mulls over
silken Innings, and usually of Empire
style, with square yokes and elbow
sleeves. Ribbon bows and lace are un-
sparingly used, the former usually in
contrast. At the Casino number Of
little coats of silk, plain, Powered or
striped, are worn with skirts of lace,
net, mousseline or grenadine, and they
are more or less elaborate, with en-
broidered revers and chiffon frills. Lin
gerie toilettes also abound, with hat and
parasol to match, and now and then one
sees stunning princess gown, worn by
a stately dame with a first claim to a
perfect figure.
THE YACHTING SUIT
is here $50 to speak, a sartOrial barOm-
eter, and besides handsome white serge
suits trimmed with braid and taffeta
plaitings, dark crimson silk or blue silk
suits astonish the looker-on, unprepared
for anything SO pronounced. Not the
light China silk that catches every pas
sing breeze, but the heaviest and rich
est silk that is made; the skirts plated,
and gay little Elton jackets, sparkling
with fancy buttons and satin finished
braid.
OUTDOOR LIFE TRYING.
There is no doubt that all this out
door life however delightful, is trying
to the complexion, and the thickened
skin and wrinkles that result from the
exposure to hot summer suns, wind and
dust, are woeful souvenirs of happy days.
A little care and attention to the prop
er treatment of the skin will prevent
these i'll effects, and make for both
comfort and beauty. On returning
after such exposures, battle the face in
water as hot as can be borne; dry with
a soft towel-dabbing not rubbing the
skin, then apply Ponds Extract freely,
letting it dry in, and renew the applica-
ton several times where the burn is
deep and the skin irritated. Dust on a
little good powder, and not only will
! YOU be at once made comfortable, but
all future evil results will be avoided.
The use of good face cream before
going out helps to prevent sunburn.
THE JEwELRY WORN THIS SEASON
is an exception, and of course adds to
the brilliancy of all entertainments.
Crosses of diamonds, pearls, rubies,
amethysts, aquamarine, emeralds, to-
paz, and various other stones, are de-
pended by slender gold chains around
the neck, and are made of large or small
jewels and in great variety as to size.
AS may well be imagined these are
charming additions to lace and silken
waists, not, however, interfering to
any great extent with the long neck
chain, as different ornaments afford a
change.
