NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Although
what may be called first principles
in dress are followed in all places
and the outlines of prevalent styles
adhered to, fashions do take on GER
tain personal types according to
places and requirements A fashion
able summer resort, the warmest
summer months, the richest of eX-
ponents and leisure have their place
at all such resorts, yet Saratoga is
Saratoga just as New Port is New
Port. While one may not make in
vidious comparisons, it is an aston
ishing fact the woman who is not so
rich as her more favored sister is
more than often the better dressed
woman, for after all though, reason,
appropriate disposal of means is a
greater factor in good dressing than
money alone.
Never was there so much license
allowed women in the matter of dress
so much chance for expressing per-
sonal lines, but beneath all is the law
composed of so many elements sum-
med up in the phrase good taste"
Each morning as / took my various
walks through the streets, by the
beautiful mansions, over by the race
course, down by the water | was i'm
pressed by the importance of the lin
en- and silk suits. In the case of the
latter there was a time when a silk
dress was entirely out Of place for
the morning walk, but today it is
one of the most serviceable and ap-
propriate materials for the morning
dress providing it is of the right kind
of silk-taffeta, rajah, pongee or fou-
lard; and it is worn not only in the
morning but in the afternoon and
evening as well, by economical dress
ers, the difference of the time being
emphasized by accessories and style.
Effective Morning Coat.
A particularly fetching morning
coat suit constructed of brown rajah
was seen the first morning after my
arrival. The coat was made after the
Chesterfield" model, so called be-
cause of certain folds introduced at
the side seam. 1t is also a semi-f1t-
ting model, a style much favored just
now as it is exceedingly cool and
pretty for summer days. A dart in
each front extends from the shoulder
and terminates above the bust, and
a small pocket is inserted in the left
side; and there are pockets below,
Empowered.
A notched shawl collar in white
linen stitched in brown and straight
cuffs are stylish addition, while
large white pearl buttons complete
the coat. The skirt is of a most ex-
cellent style both for silks or sheer
materials; it is a design also that is
well adapted for the woman who is
plump about the hips as the plaits
are stitched for considerable depth
producing a fitted effect at the top,
and a full shirt below measuring al
most six yards at the lower edge.
Just one little word of warning must
be spoken, that the very short wo-
man should have none too much full
ness at the bottom of her skirts.
With this costume was worn a hat
of milan straw dented to suit the
wearer's face and trimmed with
great punches of loops of brown rib
bon. Brown shoes and stockings, and
gloves in brown glace, and a cream
white umbrella finished the outfit.
