FASHIONS AT SARATOGA. 4 Breakfast Dresses - Afternoon Costumes- Independent Waists - Embroidered Batiste - A Black And White Silk. Contrast is the key-note of Saratoga life. The city atmospliere pervading the large hotels is directly opposed to the extreme quiet of cottages situated on the suburbs ot' the town, and in dress also; charming taste being daily exhibited in close proximity to vulgar display. The acme of retinement for a mormng dress is a tiue liuen skin and checked stik waist; followiug out similar ideas howeyer are wbite piques, fine qualíty crashes, or diniity dressesoiteutiuies set ofl' by crimson belts, collars or shoulder trinmiings. With jacket suits, the front is an important factor, supplying color or lightuess as in the case oí crimson or light-hued plaited Liberty silk fronts. Maoy shirt waists figure at all times of the day or evening, with the not-to-be extinguished black or fancy skirt. EMBROIDERED GRASS LINEN overa color, or accordion plaited silk waists are sufficiently dressy to be worn in the afternoon or evening, and linen batiste yokes, edged at the front with Russian lace, or those of white embroidery impart a stylish air to a plain dress. French gilt chatelaines with five or six pendants, brighten up a plain wool suit ; usually fastened to the left side, and they are also worn in bicycle riding. Loose, flowing moruing gowns of brocaded silk, Henrietta cloth, crepe de Chine or plain colored silk usualiy having a Watteau plait at the back charm the looker-on when worn by tall, graceful persons ; and many yards of handsome, wide lace, emerging from under the plait at the back, is draped over the shoulders and front. ELEGANT DRESSES and independent waists are seen when the time arrivés for afternoon drives, and not only the costume is displayed but the hat and parasol as well. Organdíes rnífled to the waist, with black velvet bindings, one or two having yokes formed by many rows of narrow black velvet, rival embroidered linen batiste costumes worn over crimson, green or pink silk; the embroidery extending upwards from the lower edge of the skirt, with smaller designs on waist and sleeves. A HANDSOMB WAIST worn by a society belle on a hotel varandah, was of white accordion-plaited chiffon on a white silk foundation with an Eton jacket of white net, slashed at the back, and edged all arouud by Russian lace in a leaf pattern. Gift-spangles put on in a star-shaped design about an inch apart ornament the jacket in allover fashion. Green brocaded velvet forms and elegant belt shaped to a point under tlie arms, and very f uil chiffon sleeves have a shirred tuck on the outside with cuffs edged by plaited chiffon. GKOOPS OF YOTJNG GIULS in their varied attire, one or two in soft white lawns, wearing plaided or striped sashes and collars ; another in a white tucked net, pink "baby ribbon" run in the meshes to fonn the tucks, with pink ribbon rufrles across the full front, back and sleeves ; a third wearing a white grenadine over green silk, with wide lace bordering the skirt, and a second row brought down from the waist, and running up the back; the corsage jand sleeves trimnied in harmony; a fourth giving contrast by a ricli crimson crepé de Chine costume trimmed witli narrow black velvet, form eharming pictures on the hotel piazzas, where in the calm surnmer evenings, balmy breezes waft the sweet odor of Muriay & Lanman's Florida water - the old time favorite, remarkable alike for its delicacy and refreshing pungency. AM ATTRACTIVE COMBINATION of white and black was seen in an evening dress of white silk with several rows of extremely fine black lace round the skin, put on in five large loints, not including the front breadth nd on the waist the lace runs across he front and is arranged in points on ;he left side. The sleeves have points rom the puff at the top to the cuff, vhieh is finished by a ruil black lace uffle, and a buncfa of cherry-colored ibbona at the waist, supplies the reui.site color.
