is generally followed from the great
Autumn Horse Show at the Madi-

nssday, embracing also the mighty
Christmas excitement, the city just
mus, slow up. to recuperate its
forces.
The ladies love the rest and
quiet of it all; but to the men Of
society who must likewise, perforce
be men of-buslness, the season is an
actual godsend. 1t is not a "cinch"
by any means, for any man to work

how pleasure loving or robust he
may be.
In the new Spring gowns for
street wear, great simplicity Of effect
prevails. The figure is accurately
defined. Not only must the dress
conserve in cut and construction to
this latest edict Of fashion, but the
underwear. from the woman out,
must fall into line without wrinkle
or pucker. Now, to get right down

forward than flare backward. MANY
combinations of pink and blue are
noted in millinery. Many girlish
widows wear demGre looking hats
instead Of widows caps. Spring

shoulders, full-lopped and snug
wris,ed sleeves, high, tight girdles,
and skirts fitting like a glove about
the waist and hips and haring at
the foot, constitute the timely trick.
Green and scarlet will be color
leaders. Brown will be favored
