The Bar Harbor season opens late and Newport hosts lavish weekend entertainments after Decoration Day. Newport sport clothes emphasize exclusive two piece sport costumes in fawn tones with soft ribbed jersey like material, paired with capes and long fringed sashes.
At Newport event attendees display formal evening wear rivaling New York Opera night attire. Two gowns command attention with graceful lines: one Georgette in delicate blue featuring pearl headpieces and draped hems, the other Akooka crepe with a Malpéry touch and vivid orange accents.
The article highlights chic resort dresses and accessories. A fawn color hat trimmed in chainstitch worsted and heliotrope accents accompanies a bright French print cotton frock with a satin ribbon sash. It notes Newport fashion influence, casual but smart lines, and the contrast with tub dresses favored for afternoon wear.
A south facing living room can stay cool with Italian blinds or roll up porch screens. Use light filtering slats to cast leafy shadows and keep air flowing. Minimize bric a brac and heavy hangings, swap in cool linen covers, and reduce pictures for a restful, sunlit effect.
A reader note suggests cucumber peels scattered at night to deter water bugs in kitchens and pantries, with old fashioned remedies like sugar and borax. The article then shifts to fashion and nursery design for Newport, detailing summer outfits, wicker nursery furniture, window treatments, and child-friendly room arrangements for a cool, bright, safe play and sleep space.
The simple tub frock is now a premium wardrober item in Paris. Prices for tub materials and couture workmanship soar, with Parisis linen gowns embroidered by hand and bead or hemstitch details becoming the current chic. The linen used is a fine handkerchief quality, rivaling lace trimmed chiffons of past seasons.
