the sides of the veil are widely side
plated and the ends secured Mt the nape
Of the neck and allowed to float down the
back or knotted loosely beneath the chin.
Another method is to drape the veil loose
ly over the face and plat the ends into
the side and back brim Of the hat
Unique Yelling Pins.
When, as is sometimes the case, a hat
is entirely swathed In a lace or a chif-
fon veil great attention is given to the
manner of its fastening, for nothing so
detracts from the effect of a racing cos
tune as an untidy-lookiug veil. Pins for
adequately securing Ii at front, sides and
back are quite as ornamental as any en-
ployed to decorate tailored hats. They
are god and silver-heAded and set with
imitation Jewels and rare stones which
flash bewildeungly in the sunshine. Or
they are of beaten and twisted metal in
various tints and Of such conspicuous size
that they would be quite out Of place
with an ordinary street costume.
Jewels Not Worn Publicly.
These flashing veil pins are practically
the only sort of jewelry worn by we'll
bred women who attend the race meets,
for, despite the restrictions of the club
enclosures, 1t is really a place of rem
devious for the general public. and in
making her way through the crowds
about the entrance a woman wearing
jewels runs the risk of being robbed
If a purse is carried II is kept out OF
sight in the silken bag which contains
the handkerchief. extra gloves, score
card, check book. lorgnettes or field
glass.
FIesh-coIored Stockings.
Flesh-colored silk stockings are some
times worn with elaborate racing and
afternoon costumes, no matter what may
be the tinting OF the shoes or gown.
1t is said that this fad came into vogue
simultaneously with the classical note Ia
feminine attire and that 1t is a fore
runner Of the adoption of the ancient
sandal, which would certainly prove q
relief to many a pair of sorely pinched
modern feet. Beaded stockings are an
other innovation designed for daytime
wear. They are seen In every fashiona-
BILE color, although those in tan and
black are most in favor al present. They
are Numbered by soaking instead Of rub
bling, and are dried on molds similar to
those used to prevent wooden hosiery
from shrinking.
Shoes and slippers Ornate.
The same license allowed In hosiery ID
accorded to the shoes and slippers ac-
companying racing costumes. Usually
the footwear matches the gown In color,
and not tnfrequently in texture, as In
the case of the beaded black satin strap
slippers worn with black satin jet
trimmed skirt and coat. Ooze calf shoes
are to be found in most Of the fashiona-
BILE shades and with the various tints Of
brown are worn the tan oxfords with
white or colored cloth tops. Women
with slender feet rather affect white
ooze and cloth-topped shoes and slippers
with their lingerie gowns, but it Is an
unwritten law OF good taste that the
heels shall be no higher than those or
dinarily seen on street shoes.
sunEhades Furnish Color Note.
Not infrequently the sunshads furnishes
the single note Of color in a black or
white racing costume. The parasol may
be of some vivid tint OF rose, blue or
green in plain tafreta, or it may be of
white silk striped with black and have
colored hemstitched borders and edges.
