demand, are being worn from to S. Tn the evening madame dons an elaborate toilet. Velvet, handsome brocades and dotted net are fabrics en regle Long sleeves and a low neck are one of the innovations of the horse show evening gown.
 Curious combinations and peculiar col or schemes are fetching characteristics of the magnificent gown collection made for patrons of tie Garden.
 One of the dashing young women be- longing to the ultr-fashionable clique wears a gray velvet embroidered in sil- yer spangles. About the low, round neck is frilllng of ecru lace. Yellow roses nestle on the left shoulder and rose petals d. corate the full corsage.
 By way of variety, guimpes are util- ized. Some of the exceedingly decollete bodices are worn with them. The guimpe is always made of diaphanous material and is accounted chic rather than otherwise.
 One of the most staEtlinaess- ing yet s effective gowns sesp is~oof black and white striped satin. The skirt Is cut after the newest fashion, with centre seam making the
 
 belt and filny lace bertha provide the quaint accessories so needful in the models of the moment.
 Pale green cloth and golden brown miroir velvet have ben exquisitely fashioned into an afternoon frock for golden-haired blonde who made her de- but at this suspicious gathering. A plain circular skirt of green reliaved by undulating bands of spangled gallon, is edged with sable and falls gracefully over a separate lining of bright orange taffetas. The bodice is blouse in effect, of Oriental lace over orange silk. A bolero of cloth with velvet revers, belt and collar of golden brown, is worn with it. Velvet rosettes and lace jabot decorate the blouse front and empha- size the artistic beauty of the model se- lected.
 modest gown that may do service for more than one occasion is of plain myrtle gresn velvet. The skirt and jacket are edged with mink. vest of lace, chiffon and fur ends at the waist line under belt of old pink velvet, and is surmount@d by a Medici collar lined with the velvet. Spangled sleeves are the rather startling adjunct to this oth- erwise subdued costume.
 Among the tailor frocks none were more correct than tobacco brown cloth combined with black and red velvet.
 Milady and her chapeau come in for share of attention. Of picture hats, with broad brim and graceful droopine plumes, she has many. These she wears afternoons. With her tailor gown a la Parisienne she is seen in "crush toque." In millinery parlance this style of hat is an 'eccentrique.''
 Novelties for evening wear are both becoming and expensive. Most of the bonnets are crownless and afford excel lent opportunity for artistic hair dress ing. A wave of aestheticism in milli- nsry prevails, and women are taking ad- vantage of the latitude such allows.
