SARATOGA, N. Y, July 9.-Is it the
long-established prestige of this wonder
| full place, it's healthful waters, its lovely
trees and walks, its beautiful parks, its
magnificent hotels. it's opportunities for
| firtations, the amusement of watching
certain class who come here to display
| their newly acquired wealth, or the ever
| changing panorama of visitors thai
serves to fill hotels aud boarding houses
| to overlooking? Every class is repre-
sented-children frolicking over the
grass, looking like butterflies in the sun
shine; staid and portly matrons waddling
down to the springs; fresh, gay young
girls, with their light, airy footsteps, on
the lookout for every possible conquest;
SOBER middle-aged couples, forming a
contrast to those, evidently on their we'd
ding tour, apparently oblivious to all the
world except themselves. And lastly the
millionaire, seeking to counteract the
excesses of youth in the life-giving wa
tiers of the American Carlsbad.
All for Dress
Dress is the all-absorbing theme at
Saratoga, and ones refinement and edu-
cation may be pretty accurately summed
up by morning attire, which, with well
bred persons, is never conspicuous, no
matter how handsome the afternoon or
evening toilet. Lingerie dresses in simple
style are charming, and one in small,
allover pattern with pale blue lining
enhanced the charms of a lovely blonde
from Pittsburg, contrasting beautifully
with her golden hair and dark hazel
eyes. With this dress Cat a morning
concert was worn very large sailor
hat of closely woven pale blue straw,
trimmed by a large double bow of POM
padour ribbon Gas broad as the hat,
with two ends of the ribbon laid flat
od I,,-iy1, nf ha A
lingerie parasol and canvas shoes, with
pale blue hosiery completed the simple,
but attractive costume
A Pink Linen Dress
Another young girl, equally attractive,
wore a rose pink linen, the skirt in fiat
plaits with jacket of medium length in
pony shape Three oval lace inserts at
each side of the front lightened the 9TH
erwise plain jacket, and smaller lace
inserts were on each sleeve. The hat
in keeping with this costume was
white chip sailor of extreme size, and
trimmed with pink taffeta silk bows,
hemmed at both edges. Canvas shoes
striped in pink, with large pink bow
on the instep and linen embroidered
parasol, completed this pretty toilet.
white linen dress worn by lovely
bride from Cincinnati was embroidered on
the front breadth, and the lower edge of
the skirt was faced with blue linen, the
upper edge cut in a grape leaf pattern,
with sprays of embroidery in the simu-
lated leaves. The pony jacket was en-
broidered on the fronts and back and
loose belt of blue linen was finished at the
edges by large white embroidered dots
and tiny white hand crocheted roses were
in a row at the center. The jacket collar
was large and exactly matched the facing
on the skirt.
Afternoon and Evening Dresses
Nothing Is too handsome for afternoon,
at the same time a comparatively simple
dress of golden brown chiffon satin, with
a small jacket vest and elbow cuffs en-
broidered in blue silk, with two cravat-
like ends at the jacket front (also en-
broidered) was really more attractive than
many expensive costumes The hat was
also an artistic blending of blue and
brown, and long, embroidered silk gloves
of lighter shade than the dress gave the
finishing touch.
Another pretty afternoon toilette was of
blue and white checked chiffon voile, with
blue silk band around the skirt below
the voile, and a small blue silk eton was
covered with embroidery, lace and braid.
Many braided lawn dresses are used for
afternoon or evening, usually with deep
ruffie showing several rows Of insertion.
The lingerie dress is more worn than ever
this season, and those of elaborate make,
over colored silk lining, outnumber any
other style of dress for afternoon or
evening.
New Evening Gown
new gown just brought over from
Paris by a young Chicago matron Is of
white net elaborately embroidered in light
blue and made up over pale champagne
colored silk, the extreme edge of the skirt
finished by plated lace. The waist is a
small blouse at the front and close fitting
at the back, sprinkled with small sprays
