with shaded white and red chrysanthemums.
Such silk dresses are shown for horse show
matinees, with a recommended ton toward
matching hats and sedately colored furs.
To go with very superb chnchilla set was

cred in white wood fiber silk, which accom-
and is much used.
Ulster and Turban.
Many horse show get-up however, wilf
doubtless be comparatively simple, for
there are numbers of smart cloth listers to
be seen, sufficiently dashing to accord with
a chic turban or tricorne. One which
would be splendidly effective with a black
gown and hat was of glistening French
cloth in a pale burnt-onion tint. The man
nish little collar and turn-back cuffs of
this were of black velvet, and the ulster
was the usual loose affair, belted at the
back. Another very effective cloth coat
comprised a full skirt and gathered bod
ice, to the close belt of which the skirt was
deeply shirred. The collar and cuffs of
this were of velvet in the same shade, and
the garment looked admirable over black
frock.
When it comes to evening dresses the
subject of suitable attire for the equine
reception cannot be so easily dismissed.
During the day much leeway is allowed,
though the truly fashionable always wear
something specially designed for the show.
But in the evening her costume takes on a
new SlSnlliCd1lce, LOT tHen the social quail
ity which despite many drawbacks the
show has managed to retain, is at it's
height.
It is Color This Year.
Last season the smartest toilets ran to-
ward a certain delicate simplicity, and the
preference for white amounted almost to a
furore. This year it is just the opposite,
and color-ornate and openly extravagant
is the thing White and pale cloth gowns
are seen, but they are so burdened with the
rich laces mentioned and show such a law
ish mingling with other materials that
they can scarcely go by the name White
rabbit fur achieved with ivory cloth a very
rare conceit, consisting of a short hounced
skirt and jaunty jacket worn over a white
muslin waist embroidered in colored tin
sells.
Panne velvet is common mixture with
cloth, rich laces and chiffon combined COM
posing the major part of the bodice and
gem buttons of enormous size giving
glitter1ng touch at points. Not, surely,
since the days o. kings have buttons been
so splendid as now, but they are very ex-
pensive, and to be effective they can be
used only in limited numbers. The larger
and more wonderful sorts are employed as
bust ornaments, or two or three trim
fancy belt of some gay and charming vari-
ETY.. The medfum-sized buttons are often
placed in a corset-deep line at the back or
front of a wide girdle; button-set rosettes
and bows held by buckles of brilliants are
used in the same way. The majority of the
smart bodices fasten at the back and all
sleeves of Importance effect or simulate
the prevalent shortness, though a number
lengthen the three-quarter cut with close
bits of lace or exquisite undersleeves.
Lace Evening Coats.
The newest of the coats proper are all of
lace, though many in white and tinted cloth
are still seen. The lace models are mount
ed on chiffon interlinngs, which billow flu
riously at the bottom. A half dozen or
more webs will be shown in one garment
and Irish lace is a word freq, entity heard,
though many of the coarse webs so called
are merely fine limitations.
Nantes of the dolman variety are also
shown in these laces. but these charming
wraps. the vogue for which is steadily on
the increase, are handsomer in solid ma
terials. Two splendid models in textures
favored by Partisan makers are shown
with appropriate gowns. One of orange vel
vet with sable band and an embroidered
lace collar superby sets off a gown of
n.auve taffetas and guipure. The second is
of cloth with pelerine sleeves and rich
embroidered band trimming. 1t falls in the
