was wearing gown Of poplin. very
happily combined with heavy silk cluny
lace applied IN simple lines.
A square yoke Of fine horizontal tuck
ing was inclosed by cIuny lace. The
same lines were followed IN the lace
applied low~r down on the waist. A
high boned1 band Of lace formed the
collar. and lace was used to form a cap
over the top OF the sleeve.
The skirt lining was in long straight
lines. only broken at the foot by a band
of poplin.
Purple feathers-e rich royal purple
adorned Mrs. Watts sherman's high
crowned nat Il rolled up slightly al
each side and was faced with purple
panne velvet.
She carried a white silk ParasoI
heavily end beautifully embroidered IN
white.
Hugh D. Auchincloss haSs the dis
tinction OF being the son OF Newport's
first summer resident John Auchin-
Gloss, his father. established a home
there in 1851 and Mrs. Auchincloss con-
tinued to so there until she died az the
age OF eighty-siX
Hugh D. and Mrs AuchincIoss are
quite as conservative as his parents and
almost always spend their summers at
Newport often meet her driving with
her husband IN basket phaeton.
AS a rule Mrs. Hugh D. AuchincIoss
dresses quietly and simply. following
the custom Of many of the women mem
bers OF our "old families"
The other day she was wearing an
unbleached linen frock. which. while
simple in effect, was in reality very
elaborate IN detail
White FACE was skilfuny combined
with the linen. which was decorated
with buttonholing and English eyelet
embroidery
Botn skirt and waist were composed
Of white lace On the waist a little
i eape-hke overwaist Of linen hid a great
/ part Of the lace. This ended n two
stole ends which ran under the belt
and fell to the hem OF the skirt.
a yoke Of contrasting lace let into the
s waist was ornamented with tiuv how
4 Knots ana lower down a large bow Of
s s1AlCLlsa white linen held IN place the
s linen overwsist
The edges Of the linen overwafst and
vice stole ends were scaIioped and h,,+-
iLonhoied and further decorated by a
me design OF English eyeIet embroid-
cry Inc popularity OF this embroidery
does not seem to wane. ALTHOUGH II
was predicted thu but little OF II would
be used on gowns this summer. I see
a great many smart gowns elsboratelv
decorated with It.
Color was supplied for this aII-vhite
eovn IN the nat, which Was small ana
trimmed with shaded pink rosss-roses
running the gamut OF colOrs from pals
blush pink 10 the deep tint OF American
Beauties.
The fad for having hat and parzsol
match in color was again illustrated. for
Mrs AuchinclOss carried q parasoI OF
pink tucked taneta silk It's a pretty
fashion and often adds a decided note
CT color to what might otherwise be an
inSipId costume.
The forerunners Of fashion send US
breathless news from abroad OF g com
Ing vog1e for things Grecian.
They Drophesy a revival OF Grecian
drapeTies, soft materials hanging il
long flowing lines and hleted hair
Nothing Is said Of bare feet shod only
With sandals but IL is as well to pre-
pare for the worst
II IS possible 10 imagine Greclan lines
being picturesque and effective in even
ing gowns and evening wraps. but
heaven forbid that in her weIl-inten-
toned zeal the American woman try 10
introduce this effect into gowns worn
on other occasions. The prospect OF
mat is too awful TO contemplate.
For some time there has been a Gre
clan tendency noticeable in the dressing
OF some smart woman's hair
have seen several heads with the
hair drawn back softly from the fore
head and fastened In the back well be-
low the crown of the head Here az
Grecian knot. with softly falling curIs,
completed the couture.
And at q recent dinner 1 saw a head
which r 1sted real Grecian hlst OF
. slepS gold.
lAe hair was golden softly waved
and drawn down TO the back OF the
head. A really new touch was given
in a butterfly OF diamonds which or
namented the flet at one side at the
back.
II was most effective and certainly
had, as 1 said before. the virtue Of
novelty.
