Weekend House Parties Of Swagger Women
and the Various Methods of Entertaining.

dozen or more weekend invitations to ac-
cept Ny latest scheme is to toss all of
the notes in the air, pick up the one that
falls nearest to my feet and write to its
author to say by which train she may ex-
pect me, whether or not her manner of
entertaining house guests appeals to me.
OF course, while this plan solves weekly
difficulty, 1t also has its drawbacks, for
month ago when l was in a particularly
devilish mood, / billeted myself for
three days stay with Mrs. Pottery: who

''Have you ever stopped at the Donald

who like one another but not so senti-

Campbells never have any frumps about

Types of Costumes for
the Different Daily Ses-
sions- The ailormade
and the Dressy Gown
TheNew Trained Skirt
In the Latter Materials
and Their Colorirlgs.

When the Horse Show opens In New
York next month fashion show of un-
precedented interest will likewise take
place. The special productions Of re-
nowned American and foreign dressmak-
ers, milliners and furriers will make their
first public appearance during the FIVE
days Of this great annual society event,
and what are to be the styles of the
will receive their stamp Of approval on
this momentous occasion.
Advance Preparations.
For weeks past the high class houses
have been busy designing and making
garments and accessories for women of
society and fashion whose presence at
the show is of sufficient Importance to
create newspaper sensation all over the
country. Just what these women are to
wear is, naturally, of interest to women
OF every class.
Each day OF the show is divided into
three sessions. morning, afternoon and
evening, and each session calls for its
own particular style of dress. During
the morning hours one sees only bust-
ness women and feminine horse lovers
mingling in limited numbers with the
masculine contingent surrounding the en-
closure, the boxes being comparatively
empty. These one and all are garbed in
the plainest of smart tailor-mades. natty
headgear, footwear and accessories which
go TO the completion of the tailor-made
girls toilette.
The Typical TaiIOr-Made.
Much has already been said about the
tailored costume, but the subject is suf-
ficiently important to merit some addi-
tional suggestions at this time. Women
OF all ages will wear this year the smart
est tailored suits that have ever been
SEEN AS footwear grows smarter, and
that seems daily skirts seem to grow
shorter, until it Is not unusual to see the
full pleated skirt with its two or three
bands above the hem, four and even five
inches above the ankle. The short skirt
is responsible FOR the high boots which
are the feature Of this years footwear,
the new heights being fourteen and If
teen buttons. High ten button boots
were the feature Of last years Horse
Show, since which time the vogue has
grown to such proportions as to complete
ly kill the favor Of the low pump for
street wear.

Magpie Combinations.

Furs will make their seasons debut at
the Horse Show. Though the weather
may not call them forth before this date,
the Horse Show is the signal for their
coming out, just as Easter is the time
to don spring millinery. Countless novel
ties will be introduced by women of
fashion whose wearing once of a given
mode makes for 1t a seasons vogue Seal
skin has returned to claim all its oldtime
favor, since we are to wear the dolman
again. Chinchilla is very fashionable for
both day and evening wear, but too yalu-

accompany many of the afternoon cos
tunes, especially those which do not In
clude second or third piece-according
to the dress style-of the dress material
or velvet.
Furs for evening are more elaborate,
carrying trimmings of beautiful laces, ruff
hes and pleatings of chiffon and malinette.
For the Evening Session.
Evening Show gowns are as elaborate
as those for the morning are simple. The
richest silks, satins, velvets, brocades,
chifons, crepes, lansdownes and similar
weaves are employed with exquisite laces
and embroideries. Bead and spangled orna-
ments are used on both skirt ana bodice,
and cord and braid trimmings are posed
in every conceivable way. The style of
these costumes is much the same as for
the afternoon gown. the principal differ-
ence being in the materials and trim
inings. While the conventional evening
gown Is low necked many very modish
models are made with high necks and the
new long sleeves. Close fitting guimpes
of plain fine. net without lining give the
effect Of full dress at a distance. and
since 1t is erect that we are all striving
for, this new fashion popularized early
in the season by Broadway star Is sure
to hnd many followers

Topping these short skirts and high
boots are jackets Of lengths varying from
hip to knee. The single breasted coat
cutting away diagonally from the last
button just below the waistline is consid-
cred the best all-round model, its semi-fi 1t
being suited to great majority of figures,
regardless Of proportions. And with this
tailored CONNECTION will be worn the most
becoming millinery; large and medium
sized felt hats of semi tailored persuasion
with smart wings, feather novelties and
pert ribbon bows, millinery that is pie
turesque in its shaping but decidedly
practical in materials. The hat usually
matches the suit, though black hats with
colored trimmings are equally good style,
black being possible as a background for
any color.
The Afternoon Toilette.
A change of toilette for the afternoon
session is not compulsory, so that one
may with perfect propriety wear the
morning costume through the afternoon
But the woman who goes to the Fashion
Show and she who attends the Horse
Show are two wholly different types. One
goes to see. the other to be seen, the
clothes of the latter are the most elab-
crate CONNECTIONS that fashion permits for
daylight hours.
Reigning Winter Modes.
Much speculation has been rife as to
the prolonged vogue of the Japanese idea.
The Horse Show will settle this question
with many others for season at least,
for scarce costume which does not en-
body the Oriental In a greater or lesser
degree.
The modern adaptation of the empire
is not without favor. Several of the best
makers, with the world renowned Paquiu
as their leader, follow this mode in their
latest models. On the other hand other
designers cling to the princess, so that
we have our choice of two Of the most
artistic types of costume that fashion
has ever known.
The Trained Skirt.
While the short SKIRT is holding sway
in suitdom, the long trained model re-
turns again to the ranks Of dressy cos
tunes. French models are, of course,
always long, regardless Of fashions In
America or anywhere in the world, for
that matter At last our own designers
have branded the walking length skirt
in costumes as demode this winter.

A GOVERNMENT bulletin recently is
sued states that the beet sugar ,,roduc
ton in the United States for 1906, for
the first time exceeded the cane sugar
product of this country, leaving out that
Of Porto Rico and Hawaii. The total
sugar production Of this country last
year was IA ,305 1923 tons, of which slight
ly more than one half was beet sugar.
The government is doing all it can to
encourage the beet sugar industry, be-
lieving that it is to prove one of the most
profitable for farmers. Bulletins are is
sued describing the soil and climate best
adapted to the beet crop and giving in
structions for cultivating. The largest
producer of sugar beets in this country
is Colorado, where the irrigated lands
give larger yield per acre than else
where. In Utah also the crop is sue
cessfully raised. The crop may be profit
ably raised, according to the govern
ment bulletins, in all the middle western
states. The success of beet sugar fac
tories in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michi-
gan promise large increase in the sugar
beet acreage during the next ten years
Germany with an area Of about one
seventh of that of the United States
now produces about five times as much
beet sugar annually as this country.

The Pullman company and the ex-
press com panies seem to be about due to
harvest the crops, the product of the
seed they have been sowing these many
years. A few days ago announcement
was made of an action brought against
the Pullman company before the inter
state commerce commission. A bill in-
troduced by the state affairs committee
in the senate, which, If passed, will slash
the rates of express companies in this
state 1875 per cent. The outcome of
both actions will be watched with more
than usual interest, for the reason that
these public service corporations have
thus far escaped investigation, not be-
cause they don't need it, but because
they have been clever enough to avoid it.
