while a couple of r~osettes of the red vel
vet are set at the edge of the brim. That
suit will be liked for its originality.
A gray French Goth suit was shown
and was worth genuine admiration for its
good taste and, in fact, for all itself.
When a young lady as pretty as the mod
ell gets it on, folks will forget the horses,
and no blame to them.
There was a simulated tunic at the bot
tom by having the skirt cut in scallops
over black velvet, which was about four
inches deep all around the bottom. The
seams were all stitched with heavy black
twist. The very short jacket waist open
ed over a white satin vest with narrow
black velvet reyers. The collar extended
from the vest and had nine narrow bias
rolls Of velvet around it. At the shout
ders were narrow black velvet caps.
There was a row of small oxidized silver
buttons down the left side and a row Of
~buttonholes at the right. They are pref
ty, but not for actual use. Buttons and
buttonholes are fashionable, so they must
be put somewhere, but we are SO accus-
toned to invisible hooks and eyes that it
is hard to abandon them. '
To be worn with this pretty gray suit
there should be a rich full boa of mixed
and shaded gray and black ostrich
iues. Boas of all kinds will be worn by
everybody who can get them.
The hat is a round brown felt with a
very rich drapery and large loops Of
mingled moss green and wood brown
velvet, with a superb pheasant's breast
curling around the left side. A gray, a
black or a white hat would be pretty and
in good taste, but to set of this costume
nothing will do SO well as the hat made
and provided.
One wealthy young matron has chosen
q gray gown made with a tunic edged
with nc end of narrow black velvet rib
bons. The tunic falls over a shaped
hounce Of black velvet. The basque
has a white velvet vest front and collar
wrought with black Jet. The rest Is of
the gray cloth.
To wear with it Is a long mantle of a
brown peau de CANT silk, SO woody brown
as to be almost terra Gotta. This is lined
with satin of the same shade. Bordering
it is a reversed plating" raised in quite
high relief, and along this q design in
applique Of velvet In the same shade.
The collar is exceedingly high and faced
with brown fur. A long, slim, brown
animal is curled around the neck out
side the collar, the tail On the left and
the head on the right side. Furs will
be all in at the horse show.
The hat for this costume was of dark
gray velvet in toaue form, with a filter
plume and four immense velvet pansies
In purple and black.
One other of these suits / must men
tien. 1t is Of deep prune velvet, with a
tunic simulated by rich black and white
silk cord and narrow black silk soutache.
These form the outline, with tasteful
curves down the front. Then they ex-
tend straight around the bottom. The
waist Is a tight basque, richly braided on
the front to initiate q vest. There is a
fat rundown collar of thick silk plush
two shades lighter than the velvet, and
inside this is a white linen collar. The
tight sleeves are bell shape at the wrists
and braided.
The accessories are a beautiful feather
boa, black around the neck and mingled
with several shades of purple at the ends.
Boa5 are a yard and q half long and very
thick. The hat was of black velvet,
piped at the edge with white satin, slight
ly dipped in front. The crown was com
pletely hidden In a wreath Of 6ne ostrich
tins of reddish purple.
