her new taste for touch of the
bizarre, IL not great deal of flashing
color. and her desire to have clothes
of artistic merit. The result Is that
since she has adopted this newer ideal
there appears every day some beau
tiful costume that in summer seasons
gone by we would hardly have had
the privilege of seeing. 1t Is astonish-
ing how really picturesque the sum-
mer girls are, added to the fact that
they are as pretty as ever. Sometimes
they used to be pretty without an
assumption of being artistic.
One of the interesting points Of the
seasons seaside dressing, and one that
strikes you before you have time to
draw your breath. is the general har-
mony' achieved by each collection Of
materials and colOrs that makes a
costume. The hat, in almost every
instance, Is just working out of the
scheme of the dress. Shoes and stock
ings are happily combined with other
parts of the attire. and little things,
such as bag, gloves, scarf, girdle, ETC..
seem to have been chosen with care
that makes them distinctive in them
selves and notable as parts Of per-

Shore Dresses Are Different.
The shore dresses differ pointedly

summer resorts, in that women are
realizing the necessity Of keeping their
seaside clothes in the class Of the "un-

wish to swim and enjoy the surf. They
are suited to the purpose better than

All Of the girls who have them will
tell you that they have never been so
comfortable when bathing.
Besides these so-called utility suits.
there are to be seen upon the beaches
all sorts of the fancier varieties.
There are lovely taffeta ones covered
with frills and rulings of their own
material And they do not stop al

to wear any color that happens to

The gingham bathing dresses are
making quite a hit. They came forth
hesItatingly at first, but now they are
dotted all over the sands, so that we
have become used to the sight of the
checkered variety Of bather in almost
any bright color. These suits are pro-
nounced most satisfactory, not only
because they stand the water and the
sun so bravely but because they are
