A WHITE SEASON.
(By Beatrice Dowler.N

New York, Aug. 4.-The heat being
now intense, ladies are mostly clad in
white. White, indeed, enjoys even
greater vogue than last summer. White
ilhen' white yelling or crepe de chine
are made up into exquisite gowns, suit
able either for town wear or for the
seaside or country. A charming toll
cue is carried out in white etamine,
strewn with a profusion of embroidered
dots of very bright shade of tan. The
entire trimming consists of very large
openwork stitching, made with thick
cotton cording. This Openwork forms a
yoke, allowing glimpse Of the shoul-
uers and Is worked in a Greek pattern
on the blousing of the waist. The skirt.
IN ruiz gathers, is trimmed at the base
with two rows of the same openwork,
and the dress, very simple, but very
stylish, is frightened up by wide fiat
belt OF white linen embroidered with
rich designs in Empire green.
very pretty cool-looking costumes
are also made in tussore silk The
skirt is the still fashionable "corselet'
shape, The short-waisted jacket
reaches no farther than the middle Of
the back, and is kept down by a couple
or gold buttons, 1t opens in front on
waistcoat or white pique trimmed with
small white dotted red foulard. Collar

wear on cool evenings, when, perhaps.
the tulie neck ruches are too delicate
and fragile. These silk scarfs grace

injured by damp as is the case with
tulle adjustments or feather boa.
one sees really lovely lingerie dresses
at some OF our leading resorts, espe-
cially intended for the seaside. Some
OF the prettiest are carried out in
white muslin. incrusted with narrow
lace insertions. At the bottom of the
skirt small pink or blue taffeta ruch-
ings are placed.
Cloaks are always needed for evening
wear, even In the hottest weather.
Some OF the most stylish have numer-
Gus folds. They require 10 be we'll
made to fall gracefully, which. be It
remembered. is the great secret of their
beauty.
Among the newest summer hats.
preference is given TO a shape, short in
front, slightly curved downward at the
back, with large velvet bows. Large
capelines In English embroidery
trimmed with immense roses are also
great favorites, particularly for coun-
try or seaside wear. Frequently. how
ever. preference is given to field flow
ers rather than roses. Italian straw
hats. rich fantastic aigrettes. are to be
seen here in abundance, whilst for
morning wear or dull, cloudy weather,
small hats continue TO be the fashion
They are made narrow, and are often
draped with long wells.
A rather original hat OF the small
category is carried out in wheat-col-
ored coarse straw. The crown is
shaded by long brown mousseline de
sole drapery falling lower than the
waist. caught in front with two large
real "cabochon" stones.
The vogue for saffron yellow appears
not yet extinct though 1t can hardly be
said that the color is universally be-
coming. / have seen. though not ad- |
mired, enormous picture hats in vivid
saffron-colored straw, trimmed with |
gigantic feathers.
Among new shades mention must be |
made OF one in gray, known as lead |
gray" IT is both pretty and effective
when carried out in gauze or moussel- |
ine de sole. For evening wear the
lead gray" material is usually mount !
ed over a foundation of spot orange
with touches of orange velvet intro |
duced into the trimmings of the gown !
Another fashionable new shade is the
deep crows wing" blue, which makes
up particularly we'll in dresses Of the
''princesse" shape. To relieve this
rather somber effect a little spangled
tulle or silvered net may be used for
trimming the bodice
