Fashions At Newport

As gray crash lias palled Homewhat upon popular taste blue orcriuison have lieeu brouglit t'onvard, not of (ieep colorings, but haviog coloreil threads runing one way, thus casting ral her a reflection of color, than thal o I' a clecideil hue. These tlien are the fashionable fabrics for yachting suits, not however to the exclusión of lineu or pique, and still another uew crash bus dashes of genuine color. Plaiu skirts and "reefers" witb small revers and a doublé row of pearl buttons down the front and jaunty-looking pockets trimmed in harmony are the regulation style. Jackets lined with a color which shows on Hifi revers, and not infrequently in a plain inch wide baud ou the skirt, is a pretty addition, or a blue cloth jacket and a white ekirt is an attractive yachting dress. THE POPÜLARITY OF BLACK CHIFFON ruffles on capes and dinner dresses is overwhelming, aud a costume of black net woven in faucy open squares, seen at a recent dinner is an illnstration. The underskirt was of broeaded silk the predominating colors being crimson, brown and yellow, edged by a plain brown and plain crimson silk ruffle. The lower edge of the net skirt was finished with a doublé ruöie of satin-edged chiffon. The brocade waist was covered to the shoulders at back and front, by plaited black chiffon woven in clusters of black satin stripes. An open-work black passenienterie yoke, having leaf edges and lined with crimson silk, forms the upper part of the waist, and trom under these fancy edges, shows a tiuy black chiffon plaiting. Brocade is used to line the net sleeves, and the caps are edged with doublé chiffon ruffles. A ske effect is obtained by white lace and plaited chiffou running from the left shoulder to the waist. The collar (lined with crimson), bristles with ruffles, and a very wiile black satiu sash is looped at the back. AS A CONTRAST to such elegant costumes, are lovely organdies, quite as charming in another !iy, and suitable alike to maid or matron. One worn at the Casino was particularly charming from its simplicity. The material was in trailing vines and pink flowers, and the skirt had one ruffle put on with a beading and both sides edged with lace. Down every seain of the skirt (from the waiste) inch vvide pink satin ribbou was run, ending just above tbe ruffle in a bow and short ends. Across the íull front were three lace ruftles, headed by rows of very narro w pink satin Three organdy frills trinimed in harmony with the front were set in the arm-holes, and rows oL lace made up the elbow sleeves which are flnished by lace and ribbon. Cerise ornamentations on black dresses are more in favor just at present than white and black, certainly much less trying to pale, delicate persons. HBART SHAPËD OR CIRCULAR BROOCHES nestle among the rich laces or stand out on satin collars worn by the very wealthy people who frequent this place, the former composed of a single amethyst set in pearls or diamonds or else a multitude of sinall stones with a superb emerald or diamond blazing in the centre. Circular brooches are siinply rings of precious stones, rubíes and diamonds sdteruating, or any other expensive stones, and range in size from a three cent piece to that of a silver dollar. Heart-shaped ornaments are a "fad" for tlie moment, and the newest bracelet has a heart of precious stones which inay be used as a pendant on a very delicate chain, this device applying to broaches as well. HAIEDRESSING is altogether too heavy for the season ; the weighty pompadour roll and its attendant cushions conveying an appearance of discomfort; the light, fluffy coiffure with a simple figure 8 at the back or a few French loops, affording a most pleasing contrast. Plaided or checked hosiery is in treme favor tor dl but liigh dress occasions, when lace work, or coloree! embroidery on black are called into requisition; u stylish freak, bowever, is the w?aring of Yale blae stoekings witli tan or "ox-blood" slioes. Footless bieyele hosiery lias the ;reat advantage of being easily drawn off, and over a thin stocking and half high shoe it is just the confortable thickuess. Cotton feet with woolen above is also desirable, and checks, plnids, gry or crimson mixtures are all Bupplemented by gay, contrastiiiK ' luir topa."
