lish tracks are doing. There was hardly a
costume at Ascot which did not depend
upon this bizarre effect for it's so called
smartness.
Wait until autumn, though! or, at the
latest, spring. We will all go about in
gauze, lace, tulle, muslin and what not,
and each of us will make ourselves absurd
with two gigantic velvet affairs which we
will call sleeves. They are actually heavy
to carry-some of them.
But as for u own women.
They have had days when every grand
stand was made by their efforts to look
like an indigo box. And they lave worn
blue and blue and blue-blue cloths,
blue muslins, dark blue, light blue, thick
blue, thin blue, but always blue.
But in a few weeks all has changed.
Batiste and g%renadine are rampant, and
osgandie muslins condescend to make
lovelier lovely woman. The most chic
model isa plain, not too long skirt. with alb
solutely no trimming except the futed
ribbons, velvet ropes or braids of baby rib
bon which finish their edge.
And the waists?
Folded, plated, even frilled upon a tight
fitting lining, and finished about neck,
sleeves and waist line with the inevitable
ribbon of contrasting color or a simple
velvet fold. Upon a reseda green organ
die the ribbon which accumulated the eff
feet was of a dull lemon. This is a newer
combination than the green and lilac of
last year. A pink organdie would be fin
ished with velvet of a dull red.
l saw a little woman done up in a smart
gown of this ilk in a box the other day,
and she was a summer hour dream-from
her dull red pointed toed shoes to the long
pink undressed kid gloves with their big
silver buttons. Her Tapping, breezy hat
was fit to attract the bees, it so blazed with
pink clover blossoms.
And old fashioned book muslinl
1t has made it's appearance in combina-
ton with white China silk and cunning
little black velvet bows. The lace, if any
with these toilets, must be Valenciennes,
and garden hats loaded with sweet peas,
grasses and drowsy scarlet peoples. One
could buy the hat and the flowers, but the
peculiar vicious looking bow which is on
hand with them must be evolved from a
French woman's fingers.
Too girlish for most women!
Nonsensel All the women are young at
the races. 1t is a singular fact, but one
never sees old ~women-nice, quiet, gentle,

traced in lines about the mouths now
adays.
AS they all have mouths, it must be that
there are no sorrows to be had, or that
there is truth in the whimsical advice Of
fered in Mr.. Jerome's "Idler'' in regard to
~disagreeable ceremonies. Away with
them! They are a luxury reserved for the
poor and the great middle class. The
woman of the set seen at functions" can
not afford them.
By the way, speaking of hats!
The most marvellous affair I have seen
this season at the races was at Monmouth.
1t was an airy fairy thing of lisse with a
staggering bow formed from a real palm
leaf. It was pinned on with an opal
dragon fly.
The costume with which it was worn
was a thin white silk, striped with pale
green. And the very fair wearer wore no
gloves, showing soft white ringless hands
which carried as she strolled about para
sol of white accordion plated lisse, upon
which little %rosettes of green ribbon aired
their elegance. BETTY GoL1GHTLY.
