The Horse Show an Object lesson
in Fashionable Colors.
New York, Nov. .20.-There snothlnglike
an bject lesson to fix fact in ones mind.
In the matter OF dress we have always two
annual object lessons from which to learn
the ways of fashion for the ensuing six
months Easter for spring and summer ard
the horse show for fan and winter.
From the horse snow we have learned
that yellow IN its various tints is 10 hetne
fashionable evening color. II would be a
little far fetched to say that the popularity
Of the golden color has anything % no with
tire craze for getting the yellow raetal but
the coincidence remains, and there is no de-
nying that it is all very appropriate. Two
shades are the really correct thing, and
those to w hon the color is not becoming need
not lament this fact Tor one cannot look
worse in two unbecoming shades combined
than in one by Itself Deep orange and
pale gold Ipok much better in fact than in
fancy. They areusedin hats and eapes for
evening wear, and the horsiest aud most
swagl.er swells OF New York's horse show
have been parading the combination for
the past week.
The most gorgeous example appeared
i'm a cape which was SO made that it
showed to best advantage when the
wearer was standing. There wore long
st1les of deep orange velvet which hung
nearly to the bottom of tie broca1ed silk
skirt. These stules were yelled with fige
creamy lace and edged with White Thihet.
The orange velvet also formed tie irptd,
Medici collar, with Il lining OF white Thibel
that stocd up around the bead and face.
The pale gold velvet formed the capeS
that hung down over each arm. An
evening hat TO match this handsome wrap
was ma de OF two shades of yellow velvet,
with white lace and aicrettes for Trim
ming.
A fetching hat, which could easily :e

one evening. 1t was a large nat. bat
fortunately the boxes at tie Garden
are so arranged that those behind are
not disct.r rnGded in the leas5 by any
kind Of keadgcar, however monstoIs.
The hat III question began with Tam

Around this was gathered q frill Of fine

For a band there was a steel buckle
that reached halfway around tie head.

dcau Black and white plurnes, with an
inrernixture OF black aigrettes, formed
the trimming ana furnished the necessary
height. 1t is a very easy matter to maze
hat like this, and IN general 1t is mex
pensve, as one usually has feathers AMI
! aigrettes left from an old hat. Jetted
velvet is easily made, if one has sufficient

a bit of handsome passamentertc may

a stee! buckle is necessity with the
| black velvet picture hat for certain types
| of face. The woman with a round broad
! face requires q hat that sits up high and
turns away from the forehead. 1T is Il
| style that is quite generally becoming, and
| is particularly pretty when Worn by the
woman OF square java type which is
| growing more and more numerous in pro-
! portion as girls become proficient in
athletics. There is no argument in the
| question as to whether athletics develops
the will power and the square jaw is the
| physical exponent of this quality. The
golf girl, the basketball girl, and above all
| the foot ball girl, are well provided with
jaw, 20 speak rather inelegantly; but
| this facial development need not be un
becoming when properly treated. Part the
| hair in the middle, curl it, and bring it
down over the temples as near the eyebrows
as possible, so as to reduce the effect OF
squareness in tie upper part of the face
Side combs VIII hold it in place about the
ears. Then wear @ picture hat of black
velvet, with a large buckle in front.
A broad, pointed, Medici Collar, with an
edge Of soft fur, together with such a hat
is well calculated to soften the squarest ol
football faces--a fact which~win be clearly
seen by referring to the picture the young
woman who, whether in football costume
or in :telatest form If exquisite and 1ainty
attire, is ready for any conquest, be it or
the athletic field or in Cupid own bower
This is the kind Of girl who should either 20
