THE SOCIETY SIDE.
Men and Women Dress With n View

day was not large, although the crowd was
even larger than on the opening day.
Men and women alike were dressed more
with view to comfort than to display,
and, indeed, it takes large degree of cour-
age OF vanity to don new autumn gown
so long as the sun refuses to obey the die
tates of the calendar and lessen the power
of his rays. Shirt waists, sailor hats, or
candies and muslins were the prevailing
costumes Occasionally one saw distinct

materials.
Such an one was worn by a tall, blonde
young woman, whose matronhOod Is OF

striped lawn, the material itself forming
the sole trimming, was in this instance as

draped: The small ruifies covered the sleeve

was simply white leghorn trimmed en-
tirely with scarlet ribbon, which formed a
high standing rutfie about the crown and

Another young matron who was one of
a gay party in a box. wore a charming

A lovely young girl who Is visiting in Kan

Fine embroidery formed the yoke and
broadly outlined the full blouse vest. A
pink ribbon finished the frock at the neck.
A large black picture hat covered with
black and wfite plumes completed de-
lightful toilette.

would seem that the horse of the finer type
has little to fear from the encroachments

content with bicycle but if her purse is
long and heavy enough. she will assuredly
own a horse, and as fine specimen as
