the L sea air r f touches it a So you provide r pro-vide yourself c I with one e without O > S feathers upon a7 it for as lr every one who has been to the seashore knows feathers become very dismal looking look-Ing affairs after a little exposure to sea air to and mist A very useful style ol hat is a beige straw or indeed any fancy straw because it is already al-ready partly trimmed and requires but littlo to make ii become really a thing of beauty The open work straws arc the samcrcquir inS only a bow or a gay wreath of flowers to make them as ornamental a heavily trimmed plain straw hat f For your seashore bat you will find that one cf tho fancy straws with a broad brim l looped up at the back is becoming serviceable service-able and dressy Catch the brim at tho back with a bow of cornflower blue ribbon Plunt u large bow of wide blue ribbon right on the front of tho crown letting the loops and ends stand upright in a nice smart fashion wire them a little to be sure that they stay in shape and stick a gold headed pin somewhere in the bow Around the edge of the brim run a light wreath of cornflowers corn-flowers in various shades of biue This furnishes a pretty finish to the brim and there is nothing about the hat flowers or trimmings that can be affected by salt air Moreover the hat is stylish and sufficiently out of the common to make one feel dressy L a in wearing it itANOTHER ANOTHER WAY TO TRIM A HAT for the seashore is to catch it up at the back with a great bow of white ribbon Underneath Under-neath the bow put sprays of lilliesofthe I valley with their foliage Let the lilliesof thevalley fall down over the top of the crown on the brim and let them also droop at the back so that they fall down over the hair This is an extremely simple way of trimming a hat and yet upon an openwork open-work or a lace straw it is found to be all sufficient Neither of the hats described have required a re-quired any facing but if so desired tho brim may be lined with velvet N Striped gauze folded in small pleats Around the crown and arranged in a huge cC bow in front makes a becoming trimming for broad faces By the tide of tho bow a smart bunch of wide satin ribbon arranged in the form of a rosette makes a pretty additional ad-ditional trimming Seaside clothing while not more expensive expen-sive than other dress material requires a little more attention because tho sea mists are so destructive to the welfare of feathers feath-ers and laces that one may look very shabby shab-by and badly dressed even with a really elegant summer outfit if one has not taken the precaution to choose the outfit with special reference to seashore climate and atmospnere c I V d 4 f RATHKR LAnGE BUT STYLISH A pretty dress which is braving the mists of Long Branch and which holds its own in spite of the dampness and the showers is made of white flannel The skirt is perfectly per-fectly plain and is gathered in a bunch of fan pleats at the back The skirt is permitted per-mitted to train only very slightly because the wearer evidently has an appreciative sense of the dirt which would accumulate in one wearing upon the train of a white gown The waist of the gown IS CUT BLAZER PASttlOX with a vest of white China silk shirred in It is made roundingin the front of the neck and blouse shaped at the belt This China ilk front is hooked in under tho blazor which fastens closely over it on each side of the front Thus the waist appears to be all one garment Three rows of pale yellow silk braid extend around the cuffs down the lapels on the front of the reefer and on the coat tails Tho back of tho jacket laid in close fine pleats With this costume is worn a yellow straw Lat sailor shaped caught up nt tho back with a bow of striped gauze and white chiffon chif-fon Chiffon loops end ends are upon tha I front of the hat and another bow of white gauze ribbon completes the headgear White suede gloves white suede shoes a yellow silk parasol with white Dresden china handle and several gold pins used for ornament at the neck and along each side of the front make the outfit vest as pretty i a one as the fashionable summer girl cares to tear for en afternoon stroll Apropos of the long skirt some inventive dressmaker thought of a way of getting up the skirts of gowns so that they would not cost a great deal The principal expense in buying n dress is not so much in tho material mater-ial as In the making And the dressmakers reasoned rightly that if some way could be found to simplify the matting of tho gowns that tho profits would be much greater to themselves Moreover the dressmakers decided that if avery simple way could be found that they themselves would not be compelled to cnargo so much for the making oJ mak-ing and hence women would have more dresses and a general good would result all around EVERT WOJIAX WHO WEARS A DEMITRAIN In the streetknows that her dress Is not fit 0 to look at after she has worn it a dozen I time Indeed one days wearing takes off the newness Two wearinirs makes the dress look soiled With three weanngs it Is very much soiled The fourth wearing a makes it positively dirty And so on until 3 by the time a woman has swept the street P on twelve occasions she realizes that her L gown Is BO vile that she cannot bear to put it on again And it costs so much to get a e ucwone made The cunning dressmakers have found away i a-way to obviate this difficulty And it is a f w It p t done thus The skirt of a dress is made entirely en-tirely without gores or seams except for one at the back whero the goods is sewed together The width of the goods is used for the length of the skirt This can only bo done in materials of very wide width such as cloth tweed and woolens And again the style is only possible for slender well moulded figures For those who have large hips and are stout it is out of the question But for at least half of the women who were the demitrain this style of skirt making is possible And the F f1 r m t l tf1 r JLST FOR EVEXIXO most casual observer can see how it sim pafies the making the skirt Tho modiste has only ro cut off tho material the length she desires itwhich is tho width around of the skirtand then when she has lined it and served up the one seam it is all ready to be draped plain in front and fan shaped at the back An ordinary seamstress can easily make such u skirt in tho afternoon And modiste who has been charging and upwards to make n skirt can now do one for half her regular price The cape Is the only thing one sees as a shoulder covering for a woman The reefers reef-ers coats jackets etc may bo used for tennis yachting boating or mountain expeditions ex-peditions But on all occasions when a woman wants tolook niceshe must wear her cape with its medici collar bordered with jets and its lone sleeves puffed shoulders shoul-ders and tightfitting back IACE IS GREATLY USED It is almost a lace season because so many people are wearing lace upon all their garments gar-ments The styles in real lace never change and thoso who have a quantity of the real article in the family have the foundationor at least the ornamentation for a dress which shall be us modish as the passion in lace can make it If the lace is narrow the woman of taste can use it to edge some chiffon which she makes into jackets or it can be gathered around the edge of the overskirts which are beginning to come in style again or it may be used down each side of the front draperies which form such a graceful finish fin-ish to tea gowns and house dresses At a fashionable garden party one of the guests wore a beautiful princess dress of daffodil yellow silk The front of the gown had a vest of white chiffon introduced in it and a broad front breadth of chiffon was crossed with flounces of rather narrow white lace If the lace is broad there Is really no end to the ways in which it may be used THE MOST POPULAR WAT is to make a flounce of it for the bottom of the skirt A deep ruffle of the lace is also placed on the sleeves so as to fall down over the hands And if the lace is very broad the top of the sleeve is made into a big puff to which the lace is sewed so that it falls down from the elbow completely covering the hand Parasols have such a deep fall of lace that the owner must carry them very rich or her vision will be entirely obscured bi the gauzy folds which fall in straight lines before her It is to enable a woman to lift her parasol high enough for her to peep out under it that parasol bandies are made so loner and beautifully ornamented A flounce of lace looks very pretty sewed around the neck at the base of the high standing collar If so desired tho edge of the lace may be sewed In where the sleeves are fastened on to the shoulders making the lace seem like a part of the dress and giving the gown a much more elegant appearance ap-pearance than it would otherwise have The lace flounces which are used around the lower edge of bodices are just as long as the wearer can obtain lace to make them Eight ten twelve and even twice the number num-ber of inches aro seen in the depth of the lace flounces which border the bottom of basques IT A WOMAK IS POSSESSED OF VERY SUPERIOR TASTES she can make a deep fall of lace ttiffen it with beads and jets and gather it handsomely hand-somely upon a jet medici collar which maybe may-be bought for the purpose This makes a beautiful cape and is the summer girls ideal for an afternoon wrap to be taken on or off at will without being sufficiently burdensome in weight to be oppressivenor yet light enough to look like an affectation affecta-tion Care must be taken in beading the lace to see that it is not rendered too stiff or it will fail to fall in the graceful folds which are the beauty and tho glory of these lace I capes A great amount beads upon them also renders the lace cape liable to tear because be-cause of their weight and altogether tho general effect is not as pretty as when the gauzy figuresaro simply indicated by dots hero and there of shining jets or a few jewels S1 V 14k xl I 1 1 1 Lf 1J I t I 11 I f U fit Iff Jk t THE SUMMER OIRLg TRAVELING SUIT What was the origin of long skirts is a question that one hears so frequently asked Only a year ago or at best two years ago skirts were worn ratber short being permitted per-mitted scarcely to touch the ground And now they sweep it for a foot in length How did it happen How did it come about Well it happened just In this way Dome Fashion is not such an inconsequential dame as is popularly supposed And when she decides upon a change she generally bas some very real arid very logical reason I for it When the short skirts were worn the basques it will be remembered were extremely abbreviated They were cut off almost at the hips and the short skirts looked very well with them But just as soon as the basques began to lengthen her skirts began to lengthen also because the effect of a long basque and a short skirt was most unbecoming making a woman look stout short and dumpy depriving it of every atom of grace and style which she might ever have possessed So as the basques bas-ques grew longer it became more and more imperative to make the skirts longer also and that Is the way they came to their pre nffashion of extreme length When JACKETS ABE VERT LONG it is far more becoming to have them of the same material as the dress because the divisIon between the skirt and the jacket oon disappear when the latter extend far r 1 J 7 Of r r enough down the skirt to be counted sa a drapery When the jackets are rather short it is perhaps more becoming to have them of e different material from the skirt merely trimming them with cuff and deep pockets to match the general material A vest of a hue to correspond with the skirt or to contra prettily with it makes up a stylish and dainty coetume and gives an air of one of the Louis to the general get up The bodices are so beautifully moulded to the figure now that it is absolutely necessary neces-sary that the undergarments should fit quite as well as the waistin order that they will not crease and wrinkle so as to show folds on the outside Many of the new bodices are made entirely seamless in the front and also in the back the only seam being where tho front and the back are joined under the arms An enormous buckle or bow in front gathers whateVer extra fullness may be at the waist line and in the back there may bo a buckle a bow of ribbon or a plain finish that requires nothing noth-ing at all as an ornament TO SECURE THIS SMOOTH EFFECT which is so greatly in requisition corset must be made to order just as the waists of dresses are made to order Women who I dress well have corsets to match each dress And these are specially adapted to each other in size shape and material A corset to be worn with a seamless cloth dress must be a very high one so that it will not show I a line along the lower edge of the bust It must also be of heavy satin and it should be of the same color as the dress so as to do away with the necessity for wearing an outside corset cover For a white evening dress a white satin corset is required and it is cut low to accommodate ac-commodate itself to the dccolette walstand It is likewise made of rather soft steel so that the wearer is not rendered uncomfortable uncomfort-able should she attempt to dance or indulge in any other gaieties that may require a bending of the lieu reIn re-In every case both HTGIESE AND TASHIOX ARE CONSULTED and no attempt is made to force the figure into unnatural shapes The day of the wasplike waists has gone entirely out And while a woman may not care to have her waist as large as that of the Venus de Milo she is very careful to see that it is not compressed com-pressed so as to make her appear like an hourglass The summer woman who is after all avery a-very sensible woman has found a way of carrying with her not her bed but her camp chair Attached to one side of the broad leather belt which nearly every woman wo-man wears there is a couple of leather attachments at-tachments that look very much like the straps with which one lifts a trunk cover and which when properly applied are used for carrying a camp chair The chair is of very light weight and Is rather narrow so that when folded and attached to the belt it is not so unwieldly as to be at all awkward A properly selected light camp stool closely close-ly folded and hung at the side is no more ungraceful than the large shopping bags which many women carry |
