STYLE ON THE JERSEY COAST.
Pretty FrOcks ut Horse Shows and
Dances.

Deal Beach, July 15.-With the
celebration of the Fourth the season
may be said to be fairly launched at
the coast resorts, though as the cot
tage settlements increase, there are
plenty of people here and all long
the coast at any time after the mid
die OF May.
SartOrial Variety.
Perhaps it Is that all these Jersey
watering places are within easy shop
ping distance of New York and Phil
adelphia, or perhaps because there
are such varieties of people and cir
cumstances and tastes in the crowds
one sees on board walks at horse
shows and various festal doings, but
surely everything in the way of
gowns and headwear is to be seen
smartly worn or otherwise, on the
throngs that people this long stretch
of beach from Long Branch to Cape
May.
Prominent Styles.
Certain styles catch on" with the
right people, and being on the crest
of fashions wave are worth record
ing not only for present interest but
because they offer valuable sugges-
tions of coming modes. All sorts of
fancy collars and flchus, and shaped
pieces that suggest boleros are very
much employed. They lend simple
/ frock the desirable fussiness that al
lows 1t to go almost anywhere and
the girl with long wants and short
purse strings" finds help in these
for varying effect of her few get-ups.
Much of the summers fancy work
done on cool corners of hotel veran-
das on the beach, or under the trees,
takes the form of embroidery on
these pretty fXings, as well as on
blouses of cotton voile, batiste. or
linen that will be made up as collar
AChu, blouse or the very popular side
rutlle that this year Is single, wide
and dainty as attainable. and pinned
over at one side with ones prettiest
stick of handy-pin, or if the occasion
warrants with the most elegant
brooch in the jewel case,
Low Cut NeckS.
Low cut necks and elbow sleeves
are SO universally worn that the wo-
man whose neck is not quite up to
the revelations that the sun makes
OF any defect In contour or smooth
ness, must resort to the various
camps and cuffs that fill in such
frocks acceptably. Perfectly plain
camps and collars of net or fine EN-
broidery are the preferred filings
AZ little distance those made OF
plain very open. mesh lace are al
most imperceptible and they have the
added merit Of being cooler and more
, easily freshened than the fussy
, camps OF other seasons
For BlOuSeS.
For blouses there is rumor that
, we are to so back to the sewed-in
. sleeve but so far there is little seen
Of such styles among the fashionable
contingent
Blouses G plain net or batiste very
+, much tucked hut without any other
, trimming than the ubiquitous side
frill, are better style than anything
more elaborate, Elaboration is SC
overdone on cheap waists that fastid.
ious dressers will have none of it.
Linen Suits.

lines that reveal the figure.
