 red and white, was carried out in the refreshments, the sandwiches, ices and hints showing the lovely tints. About hundred guests enjoyed the hospitality of this charming hostess.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5--As midsum-
mer weather enthralls the big cities,
thousands respond 10 the lure OF
ocean breezes. Miss Flora Nc
Flimsy's first thought is what to
wear?" and the question Is we'll worth
serious consideration. Salt air is
very injurious to many handsome
fabrics.
A motor coat is almost an indispen-
sable addition to a woman's wardrobe.
II is q garment that will answer for
all purposes, such as boating and
driving. and useful also for cool even
ings. They are simple I'm construction
and easily made.
The one illustrated above was made
Of biscuit color. herringbone serge,
with collar. cuffs and pocket-laps of
black-and-white satin.
Costly garments have come out of
an ocean fog looking like limp rags.
So the wary seaside visitors selects
her wardrobe with care. For all utility
wear. the white linen tub suit takes
precedence. Nothing Is more delect-
able, and the simpler, the more
charming. provided the cut be a la
mode. Indian head and galatea,
the white linen robe, gown OF suit Is
charming in the morning on the hotel
veranda; picturesque on the sand or
on the rocks; adorable on the golf
course or tennis court; perfect at the
yacht club; irresistible for boating,
attractively inexpensive, and ideal for
laundering (which should be done
without starch). AS a second choice,
tan linen suiting is appropriate, and
the colored linens are lovely, but will
fade in the seaside glare. Some hold
that tan and colored linens are more
economical in that they soil less
easily, but that is an open ques-
tion.
Surely faded lilac or pink makes
| the wearer look forsaken. Nothing
could be more fetching than the
simplest of gowns seen lately at a
resort The snugly fitting skirt was
severely plain-the material was
white linen: the dy-and-sleeve-in-
one was severely plain though ele-
gantly fitted; these were caught to-
( gether at the high waist by stitched

EAsTERN SHORE GETs RAN.
Long Drouth Broken And Crops Are
Saved From Ruin.


Saved From Ruin.
CENTREVILLE, Md, Aug. 4.-The
longest drouth ever experienced on
the Eastern Shore was broken yester-
day by a storm which extended over
practically all that section OF the
state. 1t was the first rain of any
consequence since early in April.
The precipitation continued for over
four hours and. coming when it did,
saved crops, which were dying from
lack of water. The corn was on the
verge Of ruin, the small truck and
garden crops we're all but burnt up
and the tomato vines we're stunted.
The rain, however. saved these and the
farmers from ruin.
The vast cornfields on the Eastern
Shore we're in as bad a condition as
they have been for long time. Some
farmers had given up hopes of any
harvest, as large plants were burning
up in the field. It is said that the
rain will increase the tomato crop
alone at least 20 per cent.
Old residents of the Eastern Shore
say this was the longest drouth they
can remember and that they had never
seen the crops in as bad a condition
IA thea were ON Wednesday.

Mothers Of little children find such
a dress as this one the most available
possible. The skirt portion is simply
straight, gathered and joined to the
yoke, and this yoke can be made high
OF square neck while the sleeves can
be long or short. In the illustra-
tion one frock is made of dotted chal-
lis trimmed with velvet ribbon, the
other is made of Persian lawn with
embroidered banding, both are pretty
yet the two are essentially different,
so illustrating the possibilities of the
design. II liked the lawn dress
could be made with long sleeves aud
with high yoke Of all-over embroid-
cry. For hard usage Dresden dimi-
ties and materials of the kind are
much liked, and one Of these trimmed
with bands of white lawn would be
exceedingly attractive.
For two year size the dress will re-
