Delicate shades.
The scene in the Garden last night was
one of dazzling beauty. There was not a
large attendance. but good judges esti-
mated it as being better thar former shows;
but those who were fortunate enough to
attend had much better opportunities of
seeing the handsome gowns Of the women
than they will have later in the week. The
social set were out in large numbers. All
the arena boxes. most of the tier boxe
and many Of the seats at the back OF the
boxes we're occupied. and then as the crowd
on the walk was never a dense n many
promenaded during the evening and those
who had zone to the show simply to see
gowns and handsome women and not the
horse were well satisfied.
The costumes this winter are wonder
fully fascinating. The colors are delicate
and until closely scrutinized it seemed
almost az il white predominated, but on a
near view the delicate tints showed. There
were laces and silks and plumes Of such rich
coloring that they rivalled the birds OF Para
disc. The jewels, too, were rich, and many
Of the box occupants wore punches OF
orchids.
Mrs. Elisha Dyer, Jr., was in the corner
seat Of box n. She has occupied this box
for many seasons, and last night wore a
very handsome costume Of gray lace with
hat to match; her ornaments were dia-
monds. Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., was
in box As; she wore white lace.
Mrs. Russell Hopkins attracted con-
siderable attention in a box on the north
side Of the Garden. Every one seemed to
recognize the bride; she was pointed out
in the afternoon. when she wore q cloth
costume Of delicate yellow colorinR, n at
night she had another handome Costume
of a very pale heliotrope. One of the most
attractive boxes in the Garden, No. 10, is
the Widener box, and has been the Widener
box for many seasons, so that old habitues
at the show know who ought TO be there
even IL they are not. Mrs. J. 4. Widener
wore a rich purple silk gown, with a hat
trimmed with plumes to match, while
Mrs. George Widener wore a black lace
costume and ablack hat.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. Oliver Iselin occupied
seats IN the Kane box. The Kanes will not
be at the show this wear owing to the death
OF s. Nicholson Kane. Mrs. Iselin was
gowned in white lace and a hat tr immed
with pink plumes. Miss Giulia Morosini
was very conspicuous on the north side OF
the Garden in a costume OF royal blue velvet
ana many diamonds. Her father was the
univ other occupant OF the box. Commo-
dore ID. q. Reid Of the Atlantic Yacht Gu
and his daughter, Miss Reid, entertained
a party of young folks in box 80. Right
next to the Reid box was that OF Mr.. n
Mira. II. II. HOLSTER.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. s. Redmond were in
box 90. Mrs. Redmond attracted con-
siderable attention. She had u rich, deli
cately colored figured silk costume trimmed
with lace. Mrs. Alfred G.. Vanderbilt, al
supposed to be attached TO this number
does not seem to affect the VanderbiltB
at all, as Mrs. Vanderbilt had the pleasure
Of seeing her husbands horses win many
a gown OF white lace trimmed with old
gold. Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt wore black
velvet trimmed with white lace and a
picture hat. Miss Caroline Fellowes wore
a gown of cream lace. Mrs. Oliver Harri-
man wore q costume OF black lace with q
big black picture hat.
