Foulard silk is an excellent weight tex
ture for. late spring or early summer, and
this season it is being made use of in all
styles of costumes for morning and after
noon, from the simplest walking dress to
a decidedly elaborate gown suitable for
whatever afternoon entertainments there
may be at this time of year. For a rather
severe gown for home wear foulard is
especially good, as it will stand any
amount OF wear. and while the dark shades
seem to soil less readily than any other
known silk, the light colors can be cleaned
time after time withe at becoming shabby
and rubbed,
Among the illustrations Is shown an ex-
ceptionaIly pretty house dress in dark
blue and white foulard. The skirt. which
is just long enough to be becoming with

is an unusually good model, for while
fitted perfectly about the waist and hips
there is plenty of material at the feet to
have it stand out we'll all around. For
this dress the bodice is made with a de-
tachable lace gulmpe,' erd IT. would be
well to provide two or, more of these
guimpes. so that while one is being fresh
ened the dress may always be ready for
use. The turned-back l-ce COLLAR, finished
with a soft silk tie, is generally becoming.
and is sure to be delightfully."- cool and
comfortable to wear.
Just at this season 1t is possible to buy
most attractive silks for remarkably low
prices, and there is a great variety of both
colors and qualities from which to select.
A soft messaline is now one of the favorite
silks both for trimming and for entire cos
tunes. \ plain color always requires more
trimming and elaboration than a striped
or figured material, bu: this year there is
very little trimming on the skirts, while the
waists are frequently formed entirely Of
lace. with just some bands of medallons
OF the silk to bring out the color. Instead
OF all lace a figured, striped or plain net or
marquisettc may be used. and this. finished
with bands Of the silk and relieved by a
large lace jabot and lace ruchings in the
sleeves, makes an exceedingly pretty waist
for plain silk skirt.
Embroidered Voiles and chiffons are
much in vogue for rather elaborate style
OF afternoon dress. and at present en-
broidrry is used SO much on every kind
and condition of dress that it is not con-
sderSd inappropriate even for shirt waist
dress. which is fashioned with the sole

s-E OR the occasional cool days that
are inevitable during the late
- spring and early summer it is ad-
vlsable to have in the outfit
medium weight gown of some such
silk and crepe de chine. messaline or Iou-
lard as will look fresh and attractive, and
while possessing some little degree OF
warmth will still be appropriate to the time
Of year. This is quite distinct from the
costume intended for the races, polo games
and tennis matches that call forth so much
Interested enthusiasm at this season, and
should well be cIassed among the house
gowns for afternoon wear. White linen
and muslin dresses are now so generally
worn in the country from early spring
until late autumn that it is a real relief to
change to a light silk dress when one in
tends to spend the rest of the day at
home and then, too, the evenings are apt
to be cool enough just now to make silk
gown feel decidedly pleasant,
1t is a mistake to have any style of
house gown overelaborate. for then 1t
would enJroach upon the models of the
theater or reception dress, and at present
fl IS the aim of all arbiters of fashion to
keep each style of dress separate and dis
tinCt in SO far as such thing is possible.
w ME inns decree CANS Tor greater va
riety in the rousseau, it is still well worth
while, as then it is guaranteed that the
costume worn on any occasion will be in
keeping with the formality or informality
Of the entertainment. In all styles OF dress
there may be many subdivisions to one
heading, as. for example. under house
gowns are found simple enduring dresses,
attractive afternoon gowns of silk wolfe,
and then the tea gowns of all sorts and
descriptions.

NEW YORK. November ,6.-Customs
regulations respecting horses imported
from abroad will operate to prevent
anything like the representative ex-
hibit of English entries which had been
counted on for the National Horse
Show at Madison Square Garden next
week.
When Alfred G.. Vanderbilt. c. W.
Watson and other Americans sent their
stables to the International Horse Show
In London last spring 1t was believed
that one of the results of their COM
mendable enterprise would be to bring
n lot of foreign exhibitors over to the
annual exhibits at the Garden. Glasses
and conditions at the national are quite
as favorable to European entries as
We're those OF the international to Wish
tors from the United States and Can
ada, and 1t costs no more to ship
horse from England to America than
to send him from here to London. But
there Is vast difference In the two
trips, for the reason that American
horses can be taken, into England as
freely and with as little trouble as If
they We're merely being shipped from
one seaport to another in this country.

more red tape than it would take to-

Miss Ella Ross experienced so many
iannoyances when she brought her har-
ness horses over from England few
years ago that she has never returned.
Other English exhibitors have gained
such unfavorable Impressions of the
Iformalities to be gone through that
they hesitate, It is said. to undertake
the trip with their horses carriages
and horse show paraphernalia. AS for
holding the International Horse Show
