NAVY blue serge travelling and motor

bright buttons. are also smart and prac-
teal belongings for the woman who
makes little country visits without
large supply of baggage.
Out of town social life-in small com
munities and villa colonies, centers In
the country club and here the chief in
terest may be tennis, golf or squash tour
naments, or It may he yacht racing and
water sports. But in any case on the
afternoons when any events at the club
take place, dainty costumes. charming
hats. parasols and all the other acces-
series Of a garden fete are in order:
and the woman planning for a weekend
visit at a smart summer colony must be
sure to have ready something smart and
appropriate for country club or casino
wear. On the opening day at the
awanhaka-Corinthian Club at oyster
Bav last month some Of the most heauti-
full gowns of the season We're worn, and
perhaps the most beautiful was a deep
cream batiste affair heavily embroidered
in self color and trimmed with square
motifs Of dead white Vense. Panels
of the venise and embroidered batiste
in alternating squares fell at back and
front of the frock. The bodice was al
most childishly simple and combined the
deep cream fabric and the white lace in
artistic fashion. The frock had a hem
and gfrdle Of deep blue velvet and the
plumes. one dead white and the other
a creamy tan color.
Another woman on the same afternoon,
wore dainty French frock OF white ma
terial panels hanging over the skirt
being faced with black satin and the
little coat-bodice having deep revers and
a sailor collar of black satin. The coat
was quite short in front. but sloped down
to point at the back and In front, sug
costing a vest. was a plastron of real
venise lace over cerise silk. The hat
accompanying this dashing frock was
of white tagal with an underbrim facing
of black satin. A huge bow of cerise
velvet was poised across the crown and
around the base of the crown was a
wreath of white ostrich. In her hands
the wearer carried paraSol of cerise
silk inset with black chantilly motifs,
and lined with white.
The parasols that one sees at such at
ternoon affairs are studies in themselves.
All the handsomest sorts now have lin
ings of contrasting color, and If there
is no lining there is an overcoNer-as
one might put it-of velvet ribbon lat

little silk roses and leaves.

of the question. The upper part of this
white mohair costume suggests the new
Elton coat, which Is cropping up every
where among smart toys. The little
coat has q collar Of bright green silk
and pipings of this silk are set It the

shoulder lines, broad sleeves and a

sweet little coats are almost invariably
worn with very sheer lingerie frocks-

FASHIONS IN PARASOLS.

Empire and hunters green are enor
mously popular also. both in solid color
and in combination with black. and with
black and white. Very often a touch of
black velvet ribbon is used. The favorite
application is in the form of wide or
narrow border at the lower edge. This
trimming is seen very often on black
and white striped parasols. In some in
stances colored velvet ribbon borders are
used to complete a black and white
striped cover. Some parasols omit the
usual tassel and cord and instead have
a long fiat loop of silk about seven or
eight inches long, which Is attached along
the handle. The hand is passed through
and the parasol may thus be carried on
the wrist.
Pongee parasols are very much orna-
mented. Those of oriental pongee. In
the new square shape are often lined
with brilliant green, purple. or cerise.
and are very stunning. White SILK sun
shades have Persian and Roman borders
and lace and embroidery are combined in
charming covers. Heavy white linen Is
inset with motives Of cluny and filet.

One fancy is a striped black and white
cover with wide white or black taffeta
border. to which discs of black velvet
are applied. This velvet is usually one
and one-half inches in diameter One
with a colored cover has q border OF
black and white striped SILK, ana an
other with cover of black and white
striped silk has q colored border. Black
and colored taffetas are seen trimmed
with black and white striped silk in dia-
mond shape at the points OF the ribs
around the edge. Another parasol is
covered with a half-inch wide black and
white silk in one of the new East In
dia frames, which is square In shape.
Those in lowered silks are gathered at
the edges midway between the ribs to
give the novel palm leaf" effect. Hand
bags are often made to match the para
sol.

The smartest are of taffeta. with pol

elderly women and are sometimes made
OF the most costly materials. such as
real lace and embroideries, with ham

Black handles are most popular for all
parasols, and are In enameled wood. vul-

with colored parasols. Mission handles
