One New York woman owns and man
ages in person a lthographing and job
printing business. She was an apprentice
Of the house years ago and made her way
up from the ranks
She attends to most Of the details Of the
business. In her opinion there Ia much less
risk In a woman's hiring housekeeper to

employing a manager to look after the bust

ruches. The lace is usually in princess
form, relieved on the bodice by little
spangled medallions Of silver tissue and
possibly a decoration Of small chiffon
roses.
Small silver buttons and cords Join the
iounces Of lace to the upper skirt over
gathered chiffon showing between the
points. The sleeves. with deep lace cap
at the top, widen into full chiffon pun
set in inch-wide tucks. and short festoons
Of cords fall over this.
1t is the intricate combination Of laces
and materials in these dressv gowns that
makes any detailed description Of them
so difficult. The variety is unlimited
and with good taste and regard for the
general outline Of fashion 1t IL hard to run
amiss in this order OF gown.
Unique, II nothing else, is a costume
Of black taffeta and chiffon, the former
in the skirt quite covered below hip yoke
cut in curved lines on the lower edge, with
deep chenille fringe in four graduated
widths. The blouse OF chiffon Ia in box
plaits with three rows Of inoh and half black
velvet ribbon run through underneath
the plaits around the body. the upper row
being just below the yoke Of lace.
Among the palmer costumes IL one OF
dark green velvet with double skirt. Both
on the edges and down one side OF the
upper skirt, IL is trimmed with a scroll
design in black cord. The bodice IL
plain blouse fastened at one side to meet
the line on the skirt, the sleeves bishop
shape with a deep cuff finished with the

One thing ia evident among the cloth
gowns. and that Is the popularity Of the
bolero coat In all its varied forms and de-
spite all the longer coats on the list of fash
ion. One does not seem TO I'll the place
Of the other altogether, so II ia a question
of at least two coats instead OF one.
Some of the many bodice effects dis
played In the boxes at the Horse Show are
shown In the illustration. One is a COM
bination Of white silk, white lace. silk cords
and balls, the sleeves being Of tucked chif-
fon. Another is In cream lace, with bands
of tafreta, strass buttons and embroidered
applique in chiffon.
Embroidery on a band Of blue silk and
many fancy stitches between groups of
tucks trim another white silk blouse. Lace
medallions, with silk drops falling from
the centre Of each. and little bands Of
stitched panne, are the decorations In
another.
Shirred white chiffon and applique lace
are the principal ingredients of the fifth
model, all Of which are simplicity itself
compared with some Of the exhibitions Of
elaborate needlework displayed.
An odd lace collar is the feature Of a
tucked white chiffon blouse, and here IL a
black on and lace gown worn on opening
night. II is followed by a light cloth
gown decorated with tucks, stitches and
applique
Cloth and silk form another combination
In biscuit color, and here is spotted velvet
gown trimmed with bands Of silk. Another
is In plain dark blue, with silk bands and
border Of chinchilla. Pipings Of satin Of
the same color trim some of the velvet
gowns.

spotted with dull red form some OF the
latest costumes, with very open embroidery
on the blouse showing red silk or velvet
underneath and triple, graduated shaped
hounces finished simply with stitching
on the skirt.
Passementerie drops, tassels and cords

there can be any excuse for their sp-

ends Of stitched vertical bands all around

groups graduating in length at the sides.

One thing convincingly settled ia that
dress at the Horse Show, and dress as il
appears wherever fashionable women are
gathered, at any time Of day and
on any occasion, proves over and over
again that the luxuries OF dress we must
have, whatever may become OF the neces-
saries. Tho former are too tempting TO
be resisted whichever way you turn.

speak, and opens the ball for the entire
season. The first night show Of dress
certainly verified all the reports of corning
fashions which have gone before in regard
TO the elegance of dress.
Very intimate relations between the
Horse Show and fashionable dress we're
established early in it's career and they
have been strengt hened with each sue
ceeding season the exhibition furnishing
a grand stamping ground for all who are
seeking new ideas in dress. In fact, the
function rather depends on women and
CLOTHES as drawing cards and they are rarely
disappointing in their days OF affluenoe
and charming fashions. Even though the
horses with their prospective blue ribbons
are the definite purpose of the show, they
have to compete with the women for first
place In the consideration Of the public.
The array Of gowns may have been more
brilliant in previous season, especially
In the matter Of color, but never more
dainty and richly elegant than this year.
For the fashion writer they were not pro-
limo in definite and varying ideas as to
detail and special fads In the accessories
OF dress; at least not strikingly fruitful
on the opening night, when the whole
scheme OF dress could be summed up in

or chiffon and lace were the prettiest ex-
amples, however. the soft net bringing
out the pattern Of the lace most effectively.
Standing out in strong contrast were the
few colored gowns which frightened the
scene somewhat; and II was noticeable,
too. that the hat matched the gown, unless
