The closing night of the horse show was
marked by an atmosphere of sociability and
hospitality which made il easily the most
enjoyable evening of the week. Daintily
dressed women with their escorts passed
from box to box to make calls upon the oc-
cupants, or walked up and down the prom
enade, and though many of the box parties
remained seated through the entire even
ing there were enough people on the prom
enade to give the picture the charm OF
movement which il has not previously pos
sessed Many women, too discovered that
the railing surrounding the ring was
delightful place from which TO watch the
events, and so light gowns and wraps were
not infrequent among the top coats and silk
hats which have most of the week had
