young and the rich and sumptuous for
the matron. In the illustration are
shown two gowns of the richer quail
ties of silks. One is of pale blue peau
de cygne trimmed with silk fringe of
the same shade, applied so as to simu-
late an opening in the skirt. 1t is
princess shape, the skirt reaching three
inches above the real waist line. There
is a stomacher of fine real lace, finish
ed at the bottom with the fringe, while
the silk is draped artistically across
the front and on over the shoulders,
forming a tucked kimono sleeve. Along
the top there is a band of scarlet vel
vet with a line of gold braid, and four
buttons are covered with the velvet.
The other elegant dinner or dancing
gown is of black satin duchess, the
skirt being close TO the hips and ample
at the foot, md has an overdress of
silk net bordered with a rich band of
beaded trimming in imitation black
pearls, something quite costly, wen in
the imitation. but beautiful. The
sleeves and bodice are of the same net,
with a band of crushed silk in the
American Beauty rose shade, ending
ON the left side beneath two of those
lovely roses. In the hair is an aigret
held by a band of the pearl beads over
pink velvet.
Among the less costly materials in
tended for evening occasions | may
mention the delicate and dainty voilesr
These are now made of cotton and so
cleverly manipulated by the weaver
that ii is next to impossible TO distin-
guish them from the all wool voiles.
while some, are SO treated that they
are fully as pretty as the silk voiles.
They are far cheaper than fine wool
or silk, but quite as pretty since 1t IS
necessary to pull the threads apart to
discover the fiber of which they are
made. All the same delicate tints and
soft colors are produced in these cot
ton voiles that can be found in the
more expensive goods.
In the new cotton goods the variety
is beyond The space of an ordinary
page to describe. but ! will say that
never have cotton dress fabrics been
so beautiful. The Scotch ginghams
have always been handsome and good
value, but this year they have some
how gained an added softness and lus7
ter that make them very desirable.

HARBOR NOTES
Base Ball Grounds Are Being
Put In Shape

There will be plenty Of base ball at
Ottens Harbor during the summer.
The "Harbor Boys'' team has been Or
ganized and under the able manage
ment of Eek Felsburg numerous games
have been arranged for the season.
Several carloads of gravel have arrived
during the week and the ball field will
be rapidly pushed forward to compile
ton. A grandstand, with a seating
capacity of several hundred will be
erected. The members of the team are
practicing every day and should put up
a good article of ball this summer.
A large pavilion will at nee be erect
ed at head of the Harbor, where dur
ing the summer refreshments of all
kind will be served. A fleet of forty
row boats and power craft will be
ready by Memorial Day for the use
of visitors who wish to go fishing or
grabbing. During the summer a large
three deck steamer will make daily
trips from the Harbor to Cape May.

The SEASON OF SILKS.
Fetching Styles For the Street and So
ciaI Functions.

Sta
Now 1t is the lovely summer silks
that are shown US. They are ex-
quisite In the light weights and beau
tiful In the heavier weaves and quail
ties. Messalines seem to be more
snowy than most of the others, and
they do make up into the daintiest OF
new gowns for evening and dressy oc-
casions. They are SO glossy that, al
though they are 80 light, they look al
most sumptuous. There is a long list
of fancy silks in checks, stripes and
plaid effects, but they are more for
waists than for full costumes. For
this purpose we see many very rich
and handsome habutais and foulards
and all at a very reasonable price for
such useful and durable silks as fou-
lard. Many of these have satin figures
on the fouIard ground. The colors are
those of the syndicate, which means
that there are all kinds of goods In
ribbons and braids in the same colors,
so that whatever one wants can be
found to match.
In dress silks-and heavy silks are
rapidly coming in again-we find taffe-
ia, heavy black m~essaline, peau de
cygne In a specially heavy weight In
tended for elegant afternoon gowns
for visiting and grand occasions and
superb black satin duchess. This is
a very rich and thick satin, yet 1T is
supple and Grapes gracefully. Liberty
satin is shown for evenings, particu-
larly for the young. One of the dainty
evening dresses In this delicate silk
looks fairly ethereal. Habutai silks
are washable, and SO are the best for
all kinds OF waists and for children's
frocks. They wash so well and re-
quire no ironing. For the special de-
mand there Is a new directoire mes
saline In pastel shades and also In old
ivory. This is employed for the cling
ing effect and is certainly very pretty.
Japanese silks are also shown in great
variety and are dainty and serviceable.
The rich taffeta and satin duchess
are. employed mostly in fine visiting
costumes and are richly and elaborate
ly trimmed with some one of the
beautiful silk braids, or with braids
above and fringe below, OF with a band
of hand embroidery along the edge of
the skirt or peplum. Speaking of
braid, this has now become so rich and
elaborate that 1t may almost be classed
as among the fine arts. 1t is seen on
the daintiest of baby clothes and from
that to the most costly outdoor or in
door garment, and on the finest furs
also. What we did without braids /
do not know.
Evening gowns require silk of two
values, the light and filmy for the
