other type of separate waistcoat which
is used in the same way as are the plaids,
i. e.. to relieve rather dull-toned tai
lored suit, are those Of claFet and pastel
velvet. They are not of the masculine
order. however, but cut very low across
the bust, straight across the raised waist
line. and are guiltless of buttons or peck
cts, the edges being finished with cable
cord. in seif-colored silk or gold tinsel.
Suede Colored Afternoon Costumes.
While all the changes will undoubtedly
be rung on the new blues, the catawba
reds. the dull greens and the smoke grays,
the smartest afternoon costumes at the
horse show are certain to be those in the
leatkxr and suede Shades. which. of
cUurt<5, are of the yellowish tone. All the
fashsynable world IL apparently going
yellfk5 mad and determined to wear this
color on every possible occasion, varying
its tone with the time of day-brown,
yellow or chaudron for its morning tai
lormades, suede yellow for it's elaborate
afternoon visiting costume and bright
golden yellow for its evening satins and
gauzes. The suede afternoon costume
invariably has the long clinging. scant

weaves of liberty and wool-backed satin
or Ottoman or of any two or. three of

grand chic Of the hour, and In a way the
most practical, as. being less cumbersome
than velvet, 1t may properly form part Of
the wardrobe that is later taken to the
southern winter resorts.
Velvet Three-piece Suits.
Some of the darker shades of velvet are
being made up into eminently practical
three-piece costumes, including a plain
short skirt of the smartly tailored order
for morning use, semi-dressy skirt with
train of only few inches and q med
ium length. half-fitting coat somewhat
on the Louis order. Ordinarily this coat
closes from the chest to below the hips
with self-colored silk military cordings
looped around large buttons, or 1t is cut
OF at. the waist line and has gilet lapels
eolored satin. Worn with the short skirt,
such a coat Is simple enough for shop
ping expedition but with the trained skirt
and with the tapping fronts thrown back
to reveal q gOld-embroidered or brocaded
satin waistcoat above a lace blouse fitted
with an Incroyabfe scarf and jabot of

Horse Show Hats.
Hats are growing SO immense and are
worn SO far down over the head that
literally all women look alike: and If
many of them parade about the tanbark
at Madison Square this season there are
certain to be some serious collisions be-

similar to the sailor of last autumn. but
many inches higher and wider. A favor

ends tightly about the crown from base
to apex and knot it at the left side under
a cluster of short ostrich tips. some of
which fall over the brim and others over
the crowns top
