broidered all over the skirt. The tight-
fitting satin lining of the bodice is draped
loosely with crepe de chine in front, while
at the back the crepe is drawn tightly to
fit the figure. The round 1ecolletage is en-
circled by a collar Of crepe-covered satin
and is richly embroidered and spangled
with silver. A small drapery Of mauve il

The Vow Womnn Groom.

women grooms" are the newest most
excrutiatingly swell things in equestrian
ism says the Chicago Chronicle" The
innovation comes from London, where
women attendants are provided for fair
patrons by the riding schools. These at
tendants do not ride at a respectful dis
lance behind as do men grooms, but keep
at the side OF their employer, ready to en-
ter into conversation. if desired. The
groom must be intelligent and fairly
well educated and look stylish in her
riding habit. She must, of course. be
splendid rider and be able TO give lessons
in the art OF equestrianism when neces-
sary. There are one or two of these
women grooms" in New York already,
and of course, more will follow. No one
can recognize them for servants, however,
and they have not attracted any particular
attention. 1t is only in the depths of most
exclusive circles that anyone knows what
they are. But 1t is conceded that anyth' ag
more delightfully."- smart could hardly be
invented, and women grooms'' are sure
to become popular in short time.
