The summer hotels are opening and many
inns near New York which are especially
popular throughout May and June before
the seashore season actually begins have
been rowde for weeks past. AS a result
the outing girl and the veranda girl are in
evidence and the summer finery with which
dressmakers nave been busy throughout
the spring has been having its innings.
Linen and pongee are the outing girls
favorites. and a delightful variety is dis
PLAYED in the morning frocks Of these
materials worn at the fashionable hotels.
Many more pink color schemes than usual
are exhibited, and although pink is always
a popular summer color. IL is many a sea-
son since we have seen so many pretty
girls in pink.
Possibly the wide range OF delectable
shades in this color which the manufac-
turers have turned out this season ac-
counts for the popularity, and almost any
woman not entirely past the years for pink
can find a becoming tone of the color
in the gamut run 'twixt palest rose petal
and deep rose du Barry or coral or rfreise.
The mother Of a daughter graduating
from a fashionable suburban boarding
school has been staying at a summer
hotel near the school and on one Of the
last days Of the term gave a tea for her
daughters friends. Fifty pink and white
young things responded, and out OF the
fifty. as Il happened, twenty wore pink
pink linen. pink mousseline. pink wolfe,
white sheer stuff pink lowered. Some Of
the girlish lowered frocks were psrtieu-
larry charming and many frocks similar
to these are to be seen on every hotel
veranda.
The designers have been exceedingly
happy in their rose lowered mousselines
and chiffons and gauzes. and even in
lawns and organdies and dimities most
attractive POWERED patterns are offered.
Greater simplicity in making is possible
to these materials than in the one tone
summer stuffs. for they require little trim
ming beyond dainty guimpes and sleeve
finishlngs and some sort OF girdle. The
hordered materials in particular are indie
pendent OF other trimmings, and tough
some makers have turned out models in
these gauzy bordure mousselines and
chiffons which are elaborated by much
lace some of the very prettiest models are
conspicuously simple.
