an OF fashion in town for a day Is a
familiar and refreshing object In the
midst of the summers heat She is I
striking contrast TO the pallid, wan
eyed ones who for one reason or sn-
other are Obliged to stay in town all
summer, and she blows breeze into
the dim palm rooms and roof garden
restaurants OF the big hotels, and eats
with a gusto that has been pretty
well baked out of the stay-at-homes
by weeks of sitting heat.
She wears o suit of linen or foulard
frock. usually the latter, 1t is bit
low in the neck. and the sleeves reach
Just to the elbows where they are
met by long gloves OF white silk. Her
hat is a round shape with a rather
wide brim which is turned up from
the face and also retrousee In the
back. 1t is rough straw and whether
II is black or mauye 1t Is sue 10 De
ornamented with big bow of purple
velvet, placed at the back The brim
may be faced with velvet but The
chances are that II Is not This is the
type OF hat that the New York wom
an Of fashion has adopted for this
between times that she calls the demi-
saison or little season" She iH
pleasant sight Is this woman In town
from Newport or Long Island. or tnc
Jersey coast for a day or two. and
she Is also the busiest thing mag
Unable The approved programme is
to arrive In town al some Incredibly
early hour and get in a considerable
amount Of shopping and dress fittiEc
In the cool of the day Later she HES
her TO the Turkish BATH where che
takes O beauty treatment for her hair
which has had more than its share Of
sun and salt water and her skin
which although tan may be healthy
looking and sometimes becoming she
has no idea of allowing IL to be irre-
parably ruined in tone or texture
Perhaps, while waiting for dinner ar
which her hard working husband twho
tolls in Wall street through all the
heat with flying week end visits to
his family, Joins her. she may take d
turn in a taxi in Central Park and
stop at the Casino for cup Of tea
or an lice. After dinner she will visit
a roof garden show and reflect that
the much pitied married man who IS
tied in town all summer hasn't such
/ a bad time after all
The tennis blouse illustrated is one
OF the novelties of the season. and
It Is ideal for the athletic girl whore
slender lines can stand the effect of
basque below her belt These
blouses are made of madras and linen
and have belts Of patent leather with
gold buckles The tie is Of silk OF
black or color to match the belt
One Of the pretty, early summer
frocks is of black and white striped
| cotton wolfe. The cellar. cuffs and
buttons are Of black Liberty silk. The
hip yoke is cut on the blas. The ac-
companying hat is OF natural straw
! with blue feather.
The other gown Is of white s-ralet
embroidered linen It has holero ~
| blue silk linen with Japanese sleeves
and embroidered borders--a very
trenehy frocK this blue linen bor-
uer finishes the skirt The belt Is Of
black with fancy placdue Of pale
| Dluer The hat is OF yellow straw
trlImed with wide. soft swathing Of
lpale blue ribbon and roses which
shade from deep rcd to pale PINK
The smart ana useful outing hats are
made Of Porto Rico panama draped
with fancy silk searfs.
Inc little fr0ck OF Irish linen is :
( lnodei from one Of the ultra fashion.
| able shops la Fifth avenue. and II is
o. natural color, q creamy tan IN which
ehete IS faint tinge Of piuk--so very
faint as 70 be indiscernible IN some
tlshts The buttons are covered with
the linen, which is a fancy OF the mo.
nent, and the collar and cuffs are OF
embroidered lawn.
Very little of the French linen that
was SO much in favor last summer is
uSeU lhls season. 1t WIS pretty. bur
shockingly impractical and one needed
an electric iron and unlimited time IA
keep a frock or suit Of this smooth
hne linen in anything like presentahle
condition. The linen suit Of this sum
mer IS not as loosely woven as the
ramie linen of last year. but they are
coarse. Ike the crash that good dish
toweliug is made Of and of much the
same color The fancy linen suit is out
OF tavor. The trim scant skirt and
short. severely tailored coat are per-
fectly plain. Once in a while one sees
a skirt with a few buttons down one
side and pleated panel let into the
side toward the bottom. but these inn
aginative models are not as smart az
the coat and skirt Of severe simplicity.
