The latter, however. Is extremely good
style with white cloth.
A chinchilla hat with a gun metal gray
velvet costume is the perfection Of good
taste; trimmed only with a little blue velvet
and two OF three handsome rhinestone
ornaments. All the shades of fawn color
are evidently worn in velvet snd cloth as
well. and there is a new pink shade OF tan
which seems to be popular.

full skirts, plated about the hips. are not

at either side to correspond with the back.
The lace above the belt also extends
around the front; tho broad collar is of lace,
and the collar band and cuffs are a COM
bination OF black panne and cream lace
The belt Of black panne slopes down TO an
inch and a half width in front. This is a
charming mode for crepe de chine in either
gray or blue.
One of the distinctive novelties OF the
season is the coat OF Irish guipure lace.
and here is one model which adorned the
parade Of dress on the opening night. IL
was worn with a black lace net skirt striped
around with bias bands Of taffeta silk from
a little below the waist 10 the hem. These
were graduated in width. OF course, cut
double and stitched only on the upper
edge. The net was in a small flower pat
tern and daintily spangled with Jet.
The velvet gowns. even though they must
be plain in one sense OF the word, were
varied more then IL would seem possible
bv the use Of bands and tucks, and here Is
one example in dark blue with cord-wide
tucks as the only trimming except some
handsome enamelled buttons.
The lace vest shows very narrowly In
almost all cases where there IL any vest AZ
all. Some Of the velvet blouse waists
fasten down one side below a very narrow
round yoke of lace which is not much more
than an extension Of the collar band. In
tan panne velvet is another costume with
a coat skirt on the blouse odice laid in
side plaits all around.
A pretty cloth costume shows stitched
bands of panne Of the sane color, a band
Of embroidery around the chemisette vest
Of lace and pulled under sleeves OF lace
drawn | IN by narrow bands of the panne.
Velvet dotted with white il combined
very handsomely with cloth, forming the

parent cream lace and the hat was Of
blue chiffon velvet and blue feathers.
Next In Importance in the way Of gowns
at the Horse Show In the evening was the
lace waist worn with any eort Of light cloth
skirt and the white cloth gowns. These
were especially distinguished as new by
the embroidery lone in wool and silk with
Inset motifs Of heavy lace combined.
And then again you discovered another
decoration or sort OF embroidery with open
work wheels, silk braid, and a silk cord.
One very stunning costume with this variety
Of trimming had a white silk waist, trimmed
also with the embroidery, and a heavy
eoru lace. which was set In down either
side Of the front in an artistic manner.
This idea OF using ecru with white has
developed this season. and when It is prop
erly arranged It is very pretty and exceed
ingly good style, but 1t is a combination TO
Be avoided by the novice.
A three-quarter length coat Of white
cloth completes this kind OF costume,
and 1t has sdouble cape collar. one Of cloth,
With the trimming on the edge, and one
OF lace. The trimming extends all around
the edge Of the coat as we'll.
