That New Feminine Mode Skirts Fall For It
 And Waistlnes Rise To It In Southampton


 2S-The way belts are creeping up and skirts are Sneaking down IS enough to make any woman view with alarm the possibility of salVaG- ing much of her present wardrobe for future use. The short skirted. athletic Joking frocks are being edged out of the mode as fast as they will go-except for actual sport.
 I couldn't help noticing how this tendency is asserting itself with greater assurance here in South ampton, where one does see the smartest crowds of any resort, and where they keep constantly in touch with the latest fashions from New York.
 Only on the beach and at the tennis court or the golf links do We see the athletic-looking girl. In the evening, in spite of her tan, she is feminine, and allurng.
 Feminine Glamour Returns
 After all, athletics are not all of a modern womans life, and there is no reason why she should always stress that phase of her many sided existence. With all the luxury with which she surrounds herself in her home, in her motors, and her clubs, it is entirely fitting that she should regain the glamour she lost vixen she ceased being the home womaT.
 am quite amazed at the way the dear old waistline is asserting itself-dresses not only have the natural waistline, but they actually taper there, and I am told that t is the newer high corsets that achieve this and that we will all be wearing them by fall-so be warned. There is no doubt as to the charm of the lovely new satin and chiffon gowns, with their elaborate skirts that reach almost 10 the floor, and make women look so tall and | picturesque. Another feature that cannot escape even the most unoH- servant is the way necklines are being trimmed and adorned.
 Feminine Note in Blouse, Collar LireS
 Lace, frills, intricate yokes. anG standing collars all relieve the sc- verity of the collar line. The newest | blouses are the most feminine things imaginable with bows, ties, pleated ruffles. hemstitching, and scarfs | that show somebody's imagination has been working during the hot weather
 Getting down to cases, I saw Mrs Orson D. Mum, in a perfect modified sport type of dress, with | a wide kcrchief in two shades of | blue, and one of these fascinating wound turbans in two shades of | blue, and just a hint of brown mix | ed in.
 | Here's Smart Sleeveless FTock One of the most delightful cos- l tunes I saw was on Mrs George l-e | Boutillier-a frock of sleeveless egg shell crepe, with a natural waistitre and a skirt that had a deep yoke and side pleats and simple hodl2e with wide lingerie collar of nat ural colored handkerchief linen, lace edged, that formed a rather wide V in the front. Her hat of nat ural colored straw had yellow i band around the crown.
 | Mrs. William Hoppin was very smart in striped frock with very much swathed hipline, and a long chain of fairly large crystals. | So, too, Mrs Carroll Wainwright | formerly Miss Edith Gould, in all l ll-white outfit, white wool coat, white sleeveless sport dress and white hat with just tiny bunch of 1 feathers on one side. Her coat of tan is superb achievement and I never saw her look more stunning than in this simple outfit. Cooler days have brought out very interesting sport attire and de- l lightful accessories in the way ct scarfs and short jackets.
 Originality in the Mode
 Estelle Minis appeared at the | Beach Club in a very original ouj- | fit which combined a box pleated | skirt of blue silk and a \soft jersey jumper to matcn. Her initials were embroidered and combined with somewhat modernistic design on her l jumper, and she wore her deeper blue scarf pinned to her shoulder with circle of light blue stones. There was a modernistic design on | the buckle of her belt.
 Mrs. George F. Victor looked very smart in her beige silk sport dress. with the jersey cardigan to match and her pul1-o1 gloves, and so did l Mrs. William R. Simonds, who wore navy packet and striped scarf with her white sport dress, which was monogrammed on the tab.
 An unusually attractive ensemble was worn by Mrs. Casmir de Khan combining a tailored frocll of novel | ty weave and long wool coat, lined to match the dress. It showed a new treatment in a line of small buttons which reached from yoke to heni and very interesting pockets.
