FADS AND FASHIONS

New York. July 15.-At this time of
the year the selection of a suitable
outfit for the summer outing in a mat
ter of serious consideration. The
choice depends in a great measure up
on the place where one intends to
spend the summer months. A fashion
able seashore resort demands an out
fit different from that which would be
suitable for more popular resort and.
of course, the same may be said as to
the requirements for mountain or lake
side resorts.
White serge is an excellent material
for shore resorts or yachting and
women whose summer plans include
sojourn on the sea shore will find it
almost indispensable to provide them
selves, with one or two frocks of light
weight serge in white or in stripes of
black upon a white ground These
frocks can easily be made at home or
can be purchased for very little at the
shops.

exploited and plain one-tone satin in

relieving touches. An exceedingly chic

Linen is not an ideal material for
seashore wear, as it becomes easily
mussed in damp air and quickly loses
the crisp freshness which is it's chief
charm. Nevertheless it is much worn
