We have eTnot vet grown up to that

the means of seeing the finest horse

Until this function opens, we remain

now represent the shopping side OF
fashionable life, presented in clusters of

My recent experiences there prove

in shirred satin, in felt, but at last de-

when they are at all light nothing
could have made me change my mind
Two Tuxedo friends came IN to try
on enchanting toques they had ordered
for the horse show. Both of them were

tulle toques are grand chic for full

The white toque had shimmering sill

white drapery over the crown. The brim
was q fairy melange of this silvery
tulle, tufts of marabout, and lcft- sided
tips of the same delicate plume Joined
by a sweep of white aigrette support

ornament. Fancy it ON head Of ideal
