wv great Importance 1t IS there
winter fashions make their
ap1earance and receive the approval OF
dlsapprovaI of the multitude. All sorts oil
fats and fancies make their entries, ana
altogether IL IS important from the clothes
point of view to America.
OF course, these clothes must needs nave
been fashioned long since SO as to be IN
readiness for this great event, and yet
there are 40 end of novel effects that are as
'twere, trted upon the public and designs
that have hitherto been waiting for the ap-
proyal or disapproval Of the majority often
start from this date.
In the great assemblage there are hum
drcls and thousands of smartly dressed
women who. IF they do not know exactly
what is correct style, have, at an events
the appearance Of knowing, while there are
hundreds and thousands Of others VINO
make no disguise of the fact that they are
on the lookout for new ideas.
There is no place IN the world better
fitted to show of a gown, for there are so
many different types Of women-very often
eight or ten OF them-Wedring the same
model each with the happy unconscious
ness that her gown has been copied uhtlI
There is more than "A drop Of bitterness
IN this for the woman who has spent lot
OF money In paying for an exclusive moce
and then finds herself confronted with "A
dozen others similar in every detail 10 the
one she has on But for the woman who
has not bought an exclusive model and IS
waiting TO know just what to choose, after
seeing il on blondes, bruucttes. slender ana
stout figures. it is really not at all diff
cult to decide upon the winter outht-ot
course, with the drawback of not being up
10 date at the moment.
There are three distinct STYLES of dress to
he noticed at the horse show-the plain,
rather sever and very sporty street gown
that IS worn I'm the morning. the elaborate
cloth or velvet costume in the afternoon
and i'm the evening the very elaborate
gown such as Is seen now at the thcaters
or at restaurants at the fashionable dining
hour Extremely neat and smart are the
morning gowns on the tailor order, with
the skirt long enough To clear the ground,
fitting close around the hips, but with wide
flare around The foot and with close fitting
cloth jacket or medium length coat or the
tight-tittlng waist that looks almost like
a riding habit; In fact. many of the gowns
OF this description are very much on the
lines Of the riding habits.
Cloth and cheyiot are the correct mate

\ more elaborate style of cloth gown Is
worn In the afternoon. and in spite of the
fact that these short skirts have received
the approval Of fashionable women they
are not nearly so becoming as the long
skirts and there are many very we'll dress

gowns made with long skirts. Dressmakers
