Saratoga and New York.
The Lorillards and Hitchcocks and Ker-
nochans are at Saratoga in goodly numbers,
- reports the New York Tribune, because
they are OF the horsey fashionable world.
They are the best dressed men and women
there and they cut a dashing figure.
One OF the beautiful Lorilard m
was at the races one afternoon in a gown
which set everybody staring and admir-
ing. 1t was Of silver gray gauze, Of a
rather rich quality and it was made up
with a trailing skirt, with lots and lots Of
little rufles set on with cords OF feather
bone.
1t had a tunic, and the tunic was rufied
also. The bodice was let In with wide ecru
lace insertions, which crossed each other
in squares, and the waist was drawn In
by a closely folded belt Of yellow silk,
fastening in front with a large oval black
velvet buckle. The stock was also OF pale
yellow silk, fastened at the back by a row
of small black velvet buttons and standing
up high and close about the throat. Her
hat was of the most delicate, transparent
fiber straw in a buff and was trimmed with
a wreath OF pale yellow roses and a black
paradise plume.
Strange to say, green gloves and green

pleted the charming costume.
, There is a beautiful Chicago woman who
| has a most elaborate wardrobe, but in the
best of taste. She wears three gowns a
day and never the same cow twice over.
She has a stunning figure. with white
waxen shoulders and arms, and one night
at dinner she looked superb in a gown all
Of dead black tulre trimmed with black
velvet roses and leaves trailing over the
skirt and bodice in graceful sprays. The
tightly drawn belt was of black velvet rib
bon with a large buckle Of diaanonds-rea
diamonds, too-and a wide band Of black
velvet ribbon was worn about the neck with
a large diamond sunburst in front.
A tall black aigrette was worn in the
woman's waved couture, AMI a small dia-
mond ornament rested on the forehead.
The most sensational costume OF the sea-
son was worn by a striking looking woman
from Central America-Yucatan, l believe.
| She was one Of those beautiful Spanish
looking creatures, with great, luscious black
eyes, and full. ripe features, set off by pur-
| pie black hair. She was beautifully devel-
oped and rounded, and moved with much
grace. The gown that was so striking was
worn at one Of the large hotel balls, and 1t
was a blaze Of gold from head to foot.
1t was probably Of some light gauze I'M
derneath as a foundation, but one could only
see a flashing, glittering surface OF gold
sequins laid over each other like fish scales.
1t was cut in princess fashion, nodded over
the figure like a glove, and trailing long
about the feet. 1t had no sleeves, and was
cut low to display perfect shoulders.
Gold slippers were worn, and a tiara OF
diamonds crowned the purple black hair. AS
the Spanish-American moved about she
looked like a flash of light, and every eye
turned upon her as she passed. She danced
beautifully, but only with the numerous
Spanish-looking men who were of her party,
and who jealousy guarded her in her golden
decked beauty.
The white and black muslin hats, shlrred
and rufhed about the face, are to be seen
everywhere, and no cambria or muslin frock
is complete without one. There are a few
sunbonnets worn by the golfers, but the
muslin hats and those of Panama are the
most popular. I saw a tulle hat at the
races OF pale green and mauve combined,
| and IL looked like a flower.
