Sports Costumes and Lingerie Frocks ;
Favored.
New York, July 17. ? July lived up'
to tradition this year, affording us an
opportunity to wear our sheerest lin
gerie frocks and our smartest sports
eost nines during the holidays. The
nearhy resorts were crowded on the
Fourth, whleh chanced to lie an Ideal
day. with well dressed men and wo
men. A tiny HUg, of ?? t?it of red, white
and blue, was a detail of most cos
tumes; tho men wore it on eoat lapel,
in hat hand, or protruding from a
]HH-ket ; the women pinned It daintily
to the underbodleo of tho sheer blouse
or frock, from where its colors shone
out softly and effectively ; or tucked a
small silk flag Into the girdle of the |
white frock, or Into the pocket of tho ;
sport.-) eoat. Our patriotism was Just
a little more pronounced than usual
this year, owing, no doubt, to the ru
mors of war which have been comlug
to us lately, and the military prepara
tions going on h Unit us.
There were not many among the hol
iday crowds, however, who looked un
comfortably "dressed-up Fashion has
at last managed to comhinfe comforts
with grace and charm. The sports cos
tume predominated : various styles of
middy and Russian blouses wore worn
with trim fitting skirts; chic suits of
strl]a>d and plain mohair, i>ongee or
linen, with Norfolk coats and pleated
skirts, were favored; ami sweater
coats, with self or contrasting sklrta,
were also |>o polar. The middy blouse
costumes were develo]>ed In tin* regu
lation white linen, duck or galatea,
with" collar and cuffs of blue* and skirts
of the new striped cotton novelties, mo
hair. or plain white jinen. The modi
tied Russian and "slipon" blouses fav
ored the white and colored 'Japanese
silks, pongee, plain or figured. Shan
tung or (Jeorgette. and were usually
combined with skirts of thin, light or
dark silks. One especially pretty cos
tume developed In plain natural color
ed pongee, trimmed ami combined with
a skirt of dark blue foulard dotted
with bright green, is illustrated hero,
It Is a slip-on model with cool, becom
ing sleeves, and an effective collar.
The skirt is a simple, gathered design,
short and full, but unusually graceful.
The plain white Russian blouse cos
tume of (Jeorgette crei>e is particularly
effective and cool for these hot sum
mer days, and perfectly appropriate
for summer evening wear ji^t roof gitr

voiles, too, are being developed in j
charming models with a toqeh of
black, or a bright color at girdle or
throat. The new voiles are washable j
in most, mixtures and generally nat- ;

Dark bine in taffeta, tieorgette, ser*:e I

street wear, in spite of its apparent
warmth. As ,mo?t of these frocks. ,
however, are made with white or self

on the avenue these days? for there
are many smart costumes to be seen
on the avenue owing to the lure of the
shops; for those who fly town at the
first bint of summer are tempted by
the shops, and motor in frequently to
visit them ? are Often trimmed effec
tively with braid or beads, in designs
worked out in colof*.

reports that where trains containing
troops stop|to<l ami the militiamen got
oiii to stretch their logs, to huy things
to cat, to bathe or to get shaved, the
townspeople Immediately raised prices
and made the needs of the soldiers ah
opportunity for a money harvest such
as Is rare. A 5 cent sandwich Imme
diately soared to Id or 15 cents. A
shave went from 10 to 25 cents. Res
taurants raised price* on everything.
So did fruit dealers. Hotels, to which
men went to got a 'hath because all
the hath tuhs of harbor sho|*< were
insutllclent for the Intlux of the mili
tiamen, charged $2.50 for "room ami
hath" although the soldier only want

ders and the soot out of- his hair and
his skin and gave up the room so soon
as he was cleansed.
The iK'rson who takes advantage of
a soldier's need* to plunder him Is
despicable. Most of the hoys who have
