New York. July s,-With every one who is anyone getting out into the open for horse shows, polo matches, yachting events and just plain golf and tennis, the supreme importance of white is emphasized. A woman may look stunning in flamingo, young and sprightly in green. end demure in pale pink. But nine times out of ten she will look most devastatingly feminine in white. Everybody's wearing it! I was interested in observing the diversity of types that white cos tunes can illustrate, last week down on Long Island. Mrs. William Steers wore a white shantung boating suit Of circular skirt and tuck-in blouse with long sleeves and shirt cuffs. Mrs, Herbert Swope wore sleeve less little sports frock with crew neck and front worked in worsted in colors. Mrs. Oliver Hartman took several entire white outfits to Newport, ranging from a double breasted coat frock in flat crepe to delectable white afternoon chif- fon, with trailing ruffles, flounces and bows.
 In White Mode
 At the Huntington Horse show. none looked sweeter than Natalie Hess, in her trim white linen suit, with frilled blouse and white linen beret. She wore some of the new ventilated sports shoes, made of buckskin. oxfords, in cut-out open work design. Beatrice Gastry launch ed a new little cap sleeve in her white flat crepe frock. a tight very short cap, with a four-inch pleated ruffle of the silk attached to it.
 Mrs. T. Weeks Durant, Princess Xenia, Mrs. Norman Whitehouse, Mrs. Thomas N. McCarter and Mrs. Paul Abbott were others who had unusually smart white outfits on. Mrs Whitehouse wore a little red jacket with her white outfit which lent nice note Of gaiety.
 Hats Grow Bigger
 The Huntington show was very well attended, with almost every one lunching at the Huntington Bay club and driving over. AS us- ual most everyone stuck to their cars, roaming along the rail and then coming back for a parking place. I noted that the very hot day made the majority shed gloves. l didn't see a single parasol, but hats get bigger with the longer days, Something new in buttoned jack cts was worn by Jane Runyon. land ing from abroad. She has a tweed suit with buttons from the collar down half way on the right side, and the rest of the way to the bottom, the jacket closes by actually button ing over on the left side. It has bands of fur too. narrow Lapin.
 Out at her Long Island home Mrs. Monroe Robinson wears a lit- tie rough surface woolen jacket, slightly fitted, with notched collar, and buttoned smartly up the front. She has d norchalant little beret of the same tone and wears this in mornings over light frocks, to be shed when it really gets hot
 Longer coats for riding habits seem to be coming into favore. Mrs. John T. Cole wears a fitted tan one, flaring very low, almost to the knees. Other smart riders are beginning to shed their coats, now that summers heat is upon us. Jane Swope looked awfully well at Huntington without one.
 a smart frock this summer, either in modernistic design that defies anyone to detect just what initials are used, or else streUn across one side in rather bold fashion. Florence Loew wore a modified shirtwaist suit at the Sands Point club the other noon which had a tab at the front of her bodice neatly embroid- cred In her initials. Mrs. Lowell | Chapin has her initials done in geometric design on summery sports frock.
 A Nautical Note
 The interest in yachting is reflect ed in many a smart spectator sports frock this season. At recent boat | race, Mrs. George La Branch top ped her chic white sports frock, with scalloped edges, with a nauti- cal little blue coat, also scalloped as to It's edges, and added a gaily striped blue and white bag,
 Something new in necklaces was worn by Mrs. John Van S. Blood good, lunching at the Huntington Bay club. a string of graduated rose quartz, with a wide brooch of carv- ed quartz right under her chin through which the necklace slipped, | which held the necklace like an old fashioned watch chain guard. Speak ing of pink jewelry reminds me of the lovely big diamond and rose quartz pin that Mrs. Frank Vance Storrs wears in a pink turban, top- | ping pink frock of the same flan- l mel
