CONSISTING | Our Gayest Watering Place—Its i290 ability to Pretty and Picturesque Dressing—In and Out-Door Costumes— A Summer Opening. From our Own Correspondent. Saraooa, July 31.—There are many watering places and many summer resorts in this and other lands, but only one Saratoga; and the more one knows of it the more one appreciates this fact. It has not the originality of foreign watering places nor the exclusiveness of Newport, nor the sea charm of Long Brench; but {t has a brightness of atmosphere that is unequalled and a cleanness and comfort in walking and driving thatis par- tacularly favorable to fine and pretty dressing. Fashions here are cosmopolitan—tn fact univer- sal. What is really fashion and what is not can only be told by a discriminating experience, for everything 1s worn, from the most elegant’ and costiy to!lers to forlorn and abject garments picked up one wonders where, and looking as if the wearers had come to 'Saratega—as it was sald some persons went many years ago to Brook Farm—to wear out their old clothes. is ‘aratoga is a brillant medley—a great spec- full of variety, where on the one hand a rich, vulgar woman will come down to a hotel break- t in satin and diamonds, and a poor school y wear her black oF grey belge or cash- » without exciting the least remark in regard to be! il or ill dressed.

WHITE TOILETS are alwa: , because of Its clear and the purity of its alr, which makes 4t possible to wear them for a long time without dein. a.

The me evening dresses embroidered n e are made with round skirts or skirts very litte longer than those used | for walking. In fuct, trains even at dinner and in the ball room are out of place at summer hotels, | ‘ing must be or should be different in | character from that of full dress In cities in the | Midst o1 the seas s wall of y ‘old brocade. The latter is really the latest and most distin- guished method of making dancing dresses, lace being less in vogue for evening wear since it has * employed so largely for morning costumes. Several of the dresses worn at the first garden party at the Grand Union hotel cousisted of plain and embfoliered nun’s velling trimined with kiltings ‘and satin ribbons but not with lace. ‘There were others of fine India inull with em- broidered trimming and wide scarf drapery, the ends (arranged cornerwise) of shrimp pink or ivory brocade. These were among the prettlest toilets worn, and specially charming because young looking; so many make the mistake of Wearing elaborate designs and a mixture or com- bination of colors, which add ten years to thelr apparent age, while older women make an equally fatal mistake in selecting forms that are too young, often from a desire to escape the ove trimming and elaboration of those which are con- sidered specially adapted to their age. Quite a little ripple of excitement was created in dressy circles in Saratoga recently by the ar- rival of Miss Exan, one of the most famous dress Ainporters of New York, and a woman of singular force, Judgment and Intelligence. Her clientele rank ‘among the first,and her only summer branch has heretofore becn ‘at Newport. ‘The New Yor ers, therefore, who understood the significance of this new departure, were naturally a ttle eager to obtain the open’sesnme of her “summer par- lors,” especially as Miss Egan herself did the honors. It was Miss Egan who onced remarked to a vulgar woman who complained of a bil! hav- | ing been presented of over a years’ standing, and scorntully finished with, “but people in business, cannot be expected to understand the feelings of those who live In our world,” “no, madam, for in our world we have to pay our debts.” A SUMMER DISPLAY. Nothing 1s more dificult than for an outsider to obtain a view of the inner glories of the dress king- dom. There are “exhibitions” and “openings” of all kine but they are of a mixed and miscel- laneous character, and draw a mixed and miscel- laneous assemblage—that 1s, one curious and indiscriminating; incapable of correct judgment because unacquainted with all the sources of inspiration, and only appreciative of that whieh 1s, most startling and incongrnous, which 1s usually set down by them as the highest fashion. That the contrary of this is the case has been reiterated so often that there must be a on in human nature itself why it is not understood. It is the vulgar, whether among the rich or poor, who demand constant change or novelty. It 1s the vulgar who think that jone dress must be made entirely different from another in order that every one may know they have made achange. The ladies of the finest family at present in Saratoga wear cotton dresses in the morning, and had eight made up by one favorite model” “We like that,” they said, “why should we have anything different.” Yet these ladies wil! pay $10 per yard for French cashmere and $12 for a plain silk, while the train to a recep- tion dress worn by the madame mere on one occa- sion last winter was marvel, costing 56 per yard. ‘These women have the raré appreciation of the beauty of fabrics whicn do not crush, which are pure through and through, and so tempered and prepared and dyed and woven from the finest and choicest materials that nothing can destroy this Deauty. ‘io look at and especially to toucn such fabrics ts a luxury; to wear them is a Joy forever. At this summer display of pretty clothes one reveiled tn beauty, 1f not costliness of fabric. There were pure linen lawns which had been printed to j order in lovely leaty designs in shaded pink and Diack, or green and drown, and made up with ruflles In waved lines of fine needle work. There was 4 kilted skirt of cream nun’s veiling, with an over-dress of fine polka dotted robin's-egg blue foulard. A dress of French satine had a plain skirt of “crushed strawberry” tint, trimmed with ruf- fies, and an over-dress of satine in a strawberry pattern, neon the red ground, trimmed with fine and full jabot of cream colored lace.
