Letter

NEW YORK, Aug 19.-Gowns that
may be worn at the seashore during
the morning hours would seem in the
city quite out of place, perhaps BIZ
zarre, even for our dusty streets. On
the clean board walks grassy lawns,
and verandas, a gown that never sees
the daylight on the city streets will
be in evidence in these popular sea-
shire resorts.
August is the month that finds our
great ocean hotels at their fullest and
at the climax of their gaiety. 1t is a
time for balls. for lawn fetes. and the
more and more popular euchres and
bridge whists with the many affairs
given for charity. For all these af-
fairs appropriated gowns must be ar
| ranged and, as those wearing them
keep pretty we'll in touch with the lat
est ideas of the designers and dress
makers many hint may be CLEANED
from them.
At one of the largest of the hotels
in certain city by the sea is to be
given a ball that will call out some of
| the very richest modes suitable for
such an occasion. One of the gowns
made for the ball in question is a de-
lghtful creation in a blue that in the
evening is something like green. When
draped with a sheer chiffon muslin
she were one of those mermaids who
| are supposed to dwell near the sea-
shore The under part of the gown is
! of blue made with a princess slip,
The upper part of the skirt is draped
! slightly and falls in a panier over a
| slightly gathered fiounce. The front
and back paniers which fit closely
over the hips are continued up over
| the shoulders slightly draped and
gathered upon the foundation and
caught with tiny bowknots. OF course,
the neck is low and finished with set
! in piece of lace The sleeves are mere
armcaps of the chiffon muslin
| trimmed with lace A belt of lace laid
upon the blue which is visible on the
sides only is the completion Of the
gown.
