GOLD TRIMMED GOWN.

Suitable Costumes For Outdoor Functions In Demand.

Now is the season of the garden party, the popular diversion for a vast majority of social minded people. Gardens are at present no less a fad than are garden parties, a form of entertainment that we borrow from the old world. Many sober minded and benevolent persons have, learned that there is no form of recreation that will beguile so many dimes and dollars from the pockets of the careless as will a garden party for the benefit of this or that good cause. For private entertaining the garden party is just as successful. The fortunate suburbanite who has an ample lawn well set off by banks of flowers can always count on cheerful responses to invitations to eat ices or drink tea under her vines and fig trees. Consequently garden party gowns and garden party hats are matters of interest to many women other than those of the gay world that summer at Newport or Xarragansett Pier or Bar Harbor. The garden party gown pictured here, while suitable for any afternoon function, would be seen to excellent advantage at a smart afternoon lawn party. The wide picture hat of white chip affords the face the necessary protection from the snn, while the soft shimmering yellow chiffon tunic forms an effective contrast with the delicate green of the garden foliage. The tunic is adjusted over an underdress of white satin, a band of gold embroidery, flash-, ing along the lower part of the tunic.
