Fashion at the Horse |6Osa'.

If any fashion may be said to prevail at
the Horse Show this year 1t is the Empire.
Empire hats and modified Empire gowns and
Empire coats and in the evening tiny Empire
fans seen in all the modish colors and ma
terials. The season, however is one of wear
what you like and still be in style. for almost
every kind of frock and hat imaginable is on
view. Princess gowns are a close second in
favor, made of soft, cl:nging materials like chif
fon velvets and chiffon broadCloths nearly all
being provided with deep yokeS OF white
cream lace and sleeves to match. One young
woman who is noted for her excellent taste wore
a princess of black cloth or Monday, made with
yoke of Irish lace. 1t had FlOrentine sleeves OF
the same material, composed of three puffs of
various depths the widest at the shoulder, and
each separated from the other by broad band
of black cloth
1t is not every face that can stand an Empire
hat, for these inverted MUSHROOM shape affairs
with dropping brims bit trying. They
wonderfully effective. however, and. where they
can be managed, quite the smartest thing. A
fashionable woman at the Horse Show yesterday
wore such hat of gray velvet, trimmed with
scarf Of silver gauge twisted becomingly around
the crown At one side toward the back, low,
fat trimming arranged. consisting OF
bunch OF shaded gray velvet leaves and silver
grapes
An evening hat that was most chic consisted of
a flexible band OF Jet which was fastened with
big jet ball-headed pins. Its hexibility per-
mitted of its conforming to the lines of the face
and couture, daring experiment unless
madanle's maid has the taste to adjust It at the
| proper angle. small black ostrich feather, its
only garniture, curled over the hair in the back
Earrings again in fashion not only the
large screw affairs which have been affected for
some time but the little old fashioned pendants
and tiny solitaire diamond drops that shake with
each movement of the head. Diamond hoops are
COral whit afph Tba
! coral necklaces modelled after those Of bygone
| days
Black neck ribbons are quite the thing. Bands
| circling the throat, overlaid with q diamond
| lacework are seen q great deal this year at the
show and narrow noire ribbons, black. Of
| course are made into necklaces like laval
| Heres, with pendent Jewels fastened TO their
! ends by diamond clasps. These considered
| very smart. especially on light frocks, which
| form excellent backgrounds
Flowers. that is. natural ones. are not enjoying
| their usual vogue this year at the Horse Show.
| The yellow crysantheTnum. of course has had
| its day. and even violets and gardenias seem to
| have lost their hold on popular fancy. Only here
| and there does one see bouquets OF either OF
| these flowers. never by chance a rose.
| Roses, however, hold sway on some of the
| prettest chapeaus, especially the large cabbage
rose and American Beauty. Grapes are used
| more sparingly-feat theirs with lavish hand. a
| fascinating hat seen last evening was made Of
| g. black ostrich feather boa. 1t formed little
| round turban and continued down the back
| into quite a respectfully sized streamer which
| fell becomingly over the wearer's shoulder. On
! the left side OF the hat single red rose was
! arranged.
Tones with character to them are especially
| noticeable at the Horse Show in the afternoon
The cerise of last year has given way to a shade
| which seems TO be a cross between rose ger
