Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-06-23

Q jolly, soft brimmed outing hat Of stitch
ed cloth which can be tucked into the
pocket when desired. Two young New
York girls who are going into the Maine
woods this summer are having special
outing dresses made, and the style seems
q particularly satisfactory one. Each
girl has two dresses, one OF brown ana
white and the other of blue and white
gaiatea. the stripes being OF the very
narrow, pin-strfpe variety. The skirt is
cut in two cores and buttons straight
down one side of the front over this SIM
pie skirt goes a MILDLY blouse falling TO
leather belt worn loosely. The brown
and white model Is particularly smart,
for there Is brown leather belt to match
1t and the MILDLY blouse has wide sailor
collar and cuffs OF plain brown galatea,
and q generous. knofted tie OF brown silk.
Worn with a brown sweater and a pana-
ma outing hat banded with a brown
scarf, this little costume Is very smart
indeed, for all its rough -and-ready sug-
gestion.
New outing hats are SO light that one
does not remember that a hat has been
donned, and SO soft and flexible that
they may be folded up and tucked into
weekend suitcase without injury: Only
the costly real panama hats would fold
up this way a year or two ago, but now
a delightful outing hat OF flexible peanut
straw or Of stitched cloth may be bought
for 80 or 40 cents, and as Tar as the
shape is concerned the expensive pan
anna can give the humble peanut straw
nothing in smartness. OF course the
panamas are very aristocratic-a hat that
costs $50 untrimmed must have some
distinction to commend II, and panama
will endure for years and years WIN
fresh cleanings and reblock1ngs each
season. A fair panama model can be
had, however, for $40 and. worn with a
beIted golf coat Of green or red CLOTH
such hat Is very natty indeed.
New this season are the white ratlne
hats. which have the small feather or
naments at one side that may De oe-
scribed best by the familiar adJeouVe
'.dinky," and these light, white hats with
their dinky little feather tuft at the side
have a particularly knowing look and
suit well the outing costume Of white
duck or flannel.
Somehow or other, out at the end or
A sailboat dock on breezy summer day
no costume Is so effective and pleasing
against the background or sparkling oiue
sky and sea as crisp, Immaculate white;
One cannot imagine the yachting eirl
in any color other than white any more
than one can imagine a sailboat with
anything but white sails. There may be
dash Of blue on the yachting SUIT, pu.
It's main suggestion should be white, ana
serge ar homespun will be the proper ma
terial for a formal yachting costume, to
be worn on a large, well equipped boat,
where one sits under an awning In con-
ventional deck chair most of the time
For catboating, motor boating or LOT
wear on any small boat, where one
clothes are apt to become more or less
rumpled or soiled, white washable duck
is best, and usually a Tubing is neces-
sarv after each days outing IL one is to
start out next time spick and span and
fresh, as a sailor maid should be.
Footwear is a very important consld-
GRAFTON with the boating costume, which
will be frisked about good bit by the
breezes. The owner of a small boat Will
insist that his guests wear rubber-soled
Yachting shoes unless they sit very Sc
dately indeed in the cockpit. But on
large yacht heeled boots may be worn,
and OF course, the trimmeSt sort TINS
season will be the smart buttoned boots
of white buckskin, which add a COM
pleting touch to the white costume.
Stunning yachting coats of white bas-
ket weave are full length, with double
breasted fronts buttoned with huge white
pearl buttons and patch pockets and wide
cuffs also trimmed with the white but
tons. White flannel coats and white vi
cuna mackinaws belted at the waist are
also very effective and practical Tor
yacht wear But the sailboat girl and the
motor boat girl pins her faith to
rough-and-tumble. always-ready-for-an
thing sweater, which may be rolled up
and tucked into a locker when not
needed.
