Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-10-25

this winter, If one would follow the ultra
fads of the season, and with their look Of
luxury they create an effect of the most
delicate femininity.
The pelerine shoulder capeS are also soft
ening in tendency, and the chenille fringes
used on some of the frocks deliciously old
timey.
Indeed, with our flowing and pulled
sleeves, our tippets and blonde laces it
looks as If We are going back to the fash
ions Of 1890. The side curl we have already
embraced and hats only need to be smaller
to suggest in many cases the fiat plates Of
the long ago.
But to return to the subject in hand, the
horse show. which pageant Of sport and
fashion will soon begin. According to the
best people, the makers for the rich and
lofty, there Is to be marked difference be-
tween the afternoon and evening toilets.
These last will run to what the French call
clair effects something light In color or
pure white, with the restriction that In no
case will any sort of a decolletage be al
lowed. That is to cay, by good taste, for Of
course the horse show authorities won't put
You out if you happen to appear with an
inch or two of bare neck. Then sleeves
must be long and elbow length gloves must
cover every speck of the lower arm, for by
such trifies will the elect be known from
the rff-raff.
The elaborate gowns descatbed have all
been imported for horse show evening wear
which will include long coats of white or
tinted cloth.
A dazzling coat of ivory cloth showed
raised embroideries of chenile-huge clus-
tiers of purple grapes and leaves; the lining
was in the same royal color, the coat
three-quarter box shape with wide sleeves
The Uneven Hang.
An odd coat model had the bottom cut to
hang with a curious unevenness Pale
bisque cloth was the material of this smart
wrap, which was lined with a soft silk in
the same delicate tan. At each side of the
loose front were clusters of pleats, held
down by stitched bands. The three-quarter
sleeves were entirely in pleats. with stitched
pieces holding the tops in snugly and the
bottoms flowing.
More and more picturesque become sleeves
every day, though the puffed model, VIII oh
fits the top of the arm very closely and
bulges hugely at the bottom, Is still the
favorite.
With loose coats, and especially those for
evening wear, sleeves ara unusually flow
ing, with straight turn-back cuffs more or
less wide. The collar of the coat matches
these the band running kimona fashion to
the edges Of the garment.
A gown seen for afternoon horse show
wear combined stunning fur tippet with
pastel gray cloth. The shoulder portion of
the tippet was made Of heavy white
guipure over wadded white satin. Border
ing this, low over the arms was q band of
Siberian gray squirrel, the pelerine finishing
with wide stole ends tipped with sable tails
passing simplicity; its only ornament some
wide tucks bordering the skirt and open
sleeves.
Dearer in price. though simpler In style
than the squirrel pelerine. was one Of
minerva (baby ermine) shown over a white
cloth frock. A lovely wax lady sported this
and the glass cage which surrounded her re-
vealed the fact that her flneries We're of an
expensive nature.
Matching her minerva neck piece was a
huge soft muf of the same, and a white
velvet toque, with a minerva crown and
white aigrette, topped her auburn locks
jauntily.
Auburn hair is not nearly so fashionable
as it once was, so one wonders why the
wax ladies so persistently wear It, Patrick
Campbell black IS the thing, and coming
across a young lady in with inky Golf
fure. l welcomed her as "a woman of knowl-
edge.
And Paris your gown comes from. my
dear?" l said TO her, for there was no
doubling the cunning which could achieve
such superative simplicity.
