The Horse Show as an cb1ect Lesson
in Fashionable CoIors.
New York, Nov. 2o.-Therei is not hing like
an object lesson to fix a fact in one mind.
In the matter Of dress we have always two
annual object lessons from which TO learn
the ways of ashton for the ensuing SIX
monthS-Easter for spring and summer aud
the horse show for fall and winter.
From the horse snow we have learned
that y-.iiow in its various tints is 80 BE- The
fashionable evening color. 1t would he a
little far- fetched to say that the popularity
Of the golden color has anything 70 do with
tnp craze for Petting the yellow metal, but
the coincidence remains and there is no de-
nyine that it is all very appropriate. Two
shades are the really correct thing, and
those to wlGmth he color isnot becoming 1eed
not lament this fact Tor one cannot look
worse in two unbecoming shades combined
than in one by itself. Deep orange and
pale gold hook much better in fact than in
fancy. They are used in hats and capes for
evening wear, and the horsiest aud most
swageer swells of New Yorks horse show
have been parading the combination for
the past week.
Tne most gorgeous example appeared
