pastel tints were there, however, and there
were many jewels worn.
Several women whose social position
warrants individuality adopted the Eng
lish and French ideas Of wearing decollete
evening froclus with large hats, but In each
instance the decolletage was a very oon-
servative one and the effect was in no way
startling. Handsome jewel collars accom-

monized well with the quiet tones OF the
evening costumes.
The cloaks worn in the evening were often
more festive than the frocks they covered
and a few handsome furs were worn, al
though the relenting of the weather clerk
after Sundays storm interfered with the
promised fur display. Few fur coats and
long wraps appeared, but neck pieces and
muffs were brought out in defiance OF the
temperature, and there were many for
trimmed frocks.
Sable, chinchilla and ermine were more
in evidence, and the few handsome fur pale
tots and wraps worn were chiefly in chin
chilla or ermine combined with heavy lace,
but for pelerines, stoles and other neck
furs sable held the lead among the fashion

striped velvets are in d sma I'D in Paris
and are shown in the shops here, but, as
yet, have been doubtfully regarded by
New York women and little exploited by
our dressmakers. Among the smart frocks
worn at the Garden there were seen by the
writer only two striped velvets.
One, in gray, has already been described.
The other had the velvet, in black and white
stripes, used for short Louis coat, over
skirt Of lace and white mousseline en-
broidered in flower garlands made OF the
narrowest ribbon, A black and white silk
coat of similar type. worn at restaurant
dinner on Wednesday evening, was pre-
sumably shown at the Horse Show later.
This second coat was associated with full
skirt OF lowered chiffon and lace, lace
sleeve frills and jabot and a cunning little
waistcoat Of white silk, lace and pink velvet
set with small rhinestone buttons.
Apropos Of flowered chiffon, a Fifth
avenue importer is showing a dinner frock
which was not seen at the Horse Show, but
has been much admired and copied.
1t is made OF the finest white Liberty
gauze, or, il not. at least of like material,
semi-transparent and with satin sheen.
Under this shimmering white stuff is fow-
cred chiffon, whose scattered roses show

gufpure and deep yellow Aleecon.

less elaborate, although very effective, was
in chalk white liberty satin. The full skirt
had only little bouillonee running around
the bottom. but up each side OF the front
ran graceful conventionalized thistle
design in pale pinks and greens. The
flowers and leaves and stems were Of velvet
touched up with water color, and gave the
impression OF something excessively elabo-
rate and difficult OF achievement, but these
velvet flower designs on silk mousseline
are sold at the trimming counters and may
be cut out and applied in any fashion pre-
ferred.
The velvet applique was used upon the
draped bolero and sleeve tops OF the white

OF sleeves slaShed up the ou tside seam over
contrasting material or color.
The draped bolero or draped pointed
bodice with pointed guimpe Of lace and long
close cuffs OF lace below full draped upper
sleeve was presented with every possible
variation of detail, and these models seem
serviceable for every material from chiffon
to velyet.
The frock OF this type sketched here was
in taffeta Of one Of the new pastel pink
shades, and its lace cuffs and collar were
banded with pastel blue velvet, while the
taffeta where it bordered the lace guimpe
was fatty bound with the blue velvet.
Bodices draped in surplice fashion and
pointed at bottom were in evidence, as well
as the pointed draped bodices shirred up
the middle front, and one smart develop
ment Of this idea, illustrated among our
pictures; had short full bolero over
pointed bodice draped surplicewse.
The skirt trimming Of this frock was
also worth notice. 1t consisted Of a large
interlacing scroll design traced in narrow
silk bouillonees The space enclosed by
each loop was filed with a shirred flower Of
silk set in with openwork stitching, the
mousseline OF the dress skirt being cut
away beneath.
Short fitted or bloused boleros OF velvet
braided with heavy wide silk braid and
worn with cloth skirts Of the same color
or velvet skirts braided like the coat were
numerous, though the model sketched here
to illustrate the idea was seen on the street
instead of at the show and was noted be-
cause of its chic simplicity.
The irrepressible bolero, loose. tight.
draped. plain, short, long, has evidently
not retired from the arena and, though

coats, has the advantage in point Of num-

toning to the coat in front. fell over the
shoulders under a coat Of velvet, and the
long coat was girdled by soft satin sash,
knotted in front and falling in long ends
finished by big tassels.
Several velvet redingotes worn with
cloth skirts of the same color were also
seen, and one long coat Of striped velvet in
q dove gray with old silver buttons had
skirt and waistcoat of supple gray satin
embroidered in the same tone and occa-
sional threads Of silver.
OF the triumph OF velvet there can be
no doubt. Not within the memory of the
oldest dowager have velvets played SO
conspicuous a part in New York fashion
show as they have during the past week.
and though there have been periods when
velvet was as popular as now, never before
did the material combine with its richness
such lightness Of weight and such supple
ness as are embodied in the finest Of the
new velvets.
The Horse Show velvets ran from high
est art to lamentable burlesque, from
finest all silk chiffon velvet to the coarsest
Of cotton backed velvets. Some OF the
velveteens are, in themselves, exceedingly
beautiful, and charming street frocks are
fashioned from them. but it is in the silk
backed chiffon velvet that the woman
whose dress allowance Is commensurate
with her tastes delights.
Plain velvets, soft as crepe are liked In
all the popular oolorings, a mushroom or
beaver color brown and a creamy yet rather
dark gray being especially lovely for the
quiet rich harmonious afternoon COS
tune that is the height Of elegance. A
silvery shade OF pastel blue is equally sue
oessful and many Of the soft green's and
strong browns have been pressed into
service for the velvet frock.
velvets in tiny checks, too, have de-
cided vogue, the best examples being in
almost invisible checks Of two shades OF

quality. The atten dance was large, the
smart folk were much In evidence, and
that element in New York crowd which
Is well dressed without being stamped smart
wore unoommonly good clothes.
That there were freak exhibits goes
without saying. The fashions Of the day
offer golden opportunities to the lover Of
the eccentric but the Horse Show proved
what has been insisted upon in The SUN
while others were singing the praises OF
loud and striking colors-that the season,
ms expressed In the clothes of the most
fashionable women, is one OF black white
and pastel colors. 1t is true in Paris, 1t is
true here, despite the food Of gorgeous
color in the shop windows and on shop
counters.
The eccentricity, the spectacular colorings
were in the crowd that surged round and
round the Garden staring at the boxes;
but in the groups that included the New
York women most prominent socially the
general effect was distinctly quiet.
Richness Of materials, exquisite hand
work, charm Of outline, rather than start
ling effects, were the emphasized features Of
the costuming. The smartest afternoon
costumes worn by acknowledged fashion
leaders were in one tone harmonies and
In q vast majority Of cases the color was
an inconsr ricuous one-soft gray or green
or brown or mauve; + astel blue, or one OF
deep duh pinks that have a silvery bloom.
The dahlin and prune shadings, too,
were well to the fore, and occasionally
were happily handled, but even in the boxes
there were many costumes in this coloring
which could not be called successful. The
combining Of the varying shades Of purplish
red requires an artists skill and false
nots Is disastrous.
It was to be expected that brown would
be conspicuous, and it is only fair to ad-
init that many OF the most successful after
noon frocks were in brown shadings; but

gown, an idea much exploited in Paris.
A number Of the smartest cloth. velvet and
silk frocks worn at afternoon sessions OF
the show had elbow sleeves. and with them
were worn long gloves.
With redingote or Directoire coats these
elbow sleeves were as a rule comparatively

tunes on view.
And that brings us back once more to
fashion laws as laid down at tho famous
show.

The sleeve Of the day In set in higher on

The direct result Of this Ia to make the
waist look slender, and the outline, u not
exaggerated, Is more becoming to the
sverage woman than the 1880 shoulder
droop.
Possibly the sleeve model most often

Edward says he does not like to be

And those clothes! They remind one
Of the story on Tennyson, who COM

King Edward, at that time still Prince

ANY NOMINATION
REPUBLICAN SUBCOMMITTEE
QUESTION NOW PUT UP TO CON-
GRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.

Complaint Made That Meeting Yes
terdny Was cone Man" Affair.
Two Proxies Held by Chairman
Armstrong, Who Controlled the
Observation-Disclosures Said to
BE Willing to support Nominee.
Chairman DeveauI viii Call Meet
ing of Full Organization in Short
Time.
If the report of the Republican sub
committee appointed to consider the
advisability of putting out a nominee
for Congress against Hon. Rufus E.
Lester is concurred in by the full Con-
gressional Committee, there will be
nothing doing in the coming election.
Should the committee when called
together by Chairman ]. H. Deveaux
do some independent thinking along a
different line. there will likely be an
other story. Just when this commit
tee will be called together has not yet
been determined by Col. Deveaux.
There has been some complaint
among the local Republicans because
of the fact that the meeting yesterday
morning was "a zone man" affair. II
is said that w. D. Armstrong, chair
man of the subcommittee, had the
proxies of two of the other four mem
bers and that he took care to entrust
the votes with those who were of his
own way of thinking. OF the three
members of the subcommittee actual
ly present, it is said that two were
in favor of putting out candidate.
Just what reason the member with
two proxies had for his effort to pre-
vent a candidate being put out was
not disclosed after the meeting. In
fact, the business of the meeting was
principally confined to voting three to
- on all propositions looking to the
putting out of a candidate.
There will undoubtedly be a meet
ing of the Congressional Committee
called within a short time, and the re-
port of the subcommittee will be sub
mitted for adoption or rejection.
1t was said by local Republicans not
at the meeting that the Populists were
anxious for a nominee and that the
leaders of that party were ready to
throw votes to such a man.
The following attended the meeting:
w. D. Armstrong Chatham county,
chairman; J. c. Simmons, proxy for
w. 1. Cooper of Screven county; Sol
Johnson, proxy for Rev. S. E. Crews
