are charming.
Some of the smaller favors of this
sort make attractive place favors on
the dinner table. The salted-almond
boxes illustrated are made of yellow
crepe paper in the pumpkin color
with handsome turkies in natural col

side a pumpkin-shaped box. The car
rot made of crepe paper is odd and
interesting, and of course inside there
is a roomy box for sweets.

in the Horse Show on the way to
ball or other private entertainment,
and altogether, there is plenty of
brilliancy in the boxes to satisfy the
woman who coaxes her husband to
take her to the Horse Show just to

When Furs Make Their Appearance.
Before Horse Show week furs may
be donned, If the weather is cold

essential part of the toilette. After
Horse Show week winter styles are
presumed to be firmly esta blished and
furs are worn, whether or not Jack
Frost sees fit to make the air chilly.
Women parade around the arena at
the Show fairly loaded down with
magnificent furs, with a temperature
of Indian Summer outside. If need
be the coat or other wrap is checked
at the cloak room window, but the
furs, never. The fur feature of the
Show, however. is always the display
of superb coats and the very newest
Paris models in seaIsl1in, chinchilla
and other costly pelts are to be seen.
This year fur is extravagantly fash
iOnable, as was clearly evidenced at
the Grand Prix du Outomne In Sep
TENDER when the superb fur coats,
wraps, hats and nuffs were the talk
y
terward- Sealskin grows higher and
higher in price with each succeeding
year, and now sable is almost pro-
hibitive in cost, since the decree of
the Duma against the trapping of
seals for three years. So much fur
is used in garments and trimmings
now that the supply is exhaustively
drawn upon, and inevitably all pelts
must bring much higher prices.

anything could be more suggestive of

The woman who knows how to
paint in water color may fashion very
amusing place favors from potatoes.
The potato is pared on one side for
a face. the brown outer skin being
left on to represent hair. The moist,
creamy pared potato makes an ex-
cellent surface on which to apply
the water colors and when cleverly
done these little potato faces resembl
tinted ivory. But alas, as soon as the
moisture dries the little face shrivels
up, and ones dinner favor grows old
and wrinkled before one has reached
the nuts and raisins course. The po-
tato faces must be made the last
thing before the guests are summoned
o table, and the faces must be paint
ed on in rather hasty, impressionist
style; but if the potatoes are picked
out beforehand and pairing knife and
paint-boX are ready, a dozen of these
interesting little heads can be turned
off in ten minutes by a clever woman,
and they will add greatly to the Jol-
lily of the occasion.

hats remind one of the riding hats
worn in the thirties, when velvet hab-
its, tall beaver hats and plumes were
considered the acme of elegance.
Black Riding Habits Worn at the
Horse Show.
The girl who rides now dresses as
simply and as mannishly as is con-
sistent with feminine garb, and at
the Horse Show the fair riders are
very somber-and very elegant in
deed, with faultlessly cut black hab-
its, black silk beaver hats and a bit
of white showing in neckstock and
gardenia in the coat lapel. Cross sad
die habits are not worn at the Horse
Show where most formal and con
ventional riding raiment is demanded
by the judges. Last season the young
riders walked around the promenade
during the afternoon with big polo
coats over their habits. This year
most of these girls are planning to
wear, instead of the polo coat, a big
smart coat of duofaced fabric. with
the reverse side showing gaily in
contrasting collar and cuffs.
Correct Street Costumes for the Prom
enade.
Unless one has an invitation to sit
in a box. full evening dress is not
worn at the Horse Show. In the
evening the promenaders wear - If
they are Women-handsome frocks
accompanied by furs, and invariab bly,
hats. In the afternoons tailored suits
or smart trotteur frocks are the rule.
This year tailored suits are of two
sorts, correct yet simple little suits
of good-looking mixtures trimmed
with satin, braid or velvet. and very
rich velvet suits. The woman plan
ming to wear either sort at the Horse
Show will see that it is accompanied
by irreproachable accessories in the
way of veil, white gloves and correct
boots. This year boots buttoning
snugly up over the ankle are the rule
with all street costumes, and slippers
and pumps are worn only with even
ing and house frocks. Some very

MF'TER this year, the old Madi-
son Square Garden, home of
the Horse Show for so many
- b seasons, will be torn down
and special preparations are being
made to have the last session
OF the Show in its old quarters
the most brilliant event of the sort
in years. The Horse Show, in itself
is not the important social event that
1t once was. but 1t still marks a def
mite division of time in the course
OF the fashionable seasons, and en-
gagements are dated before and
latter" the Horse Show, or during
Horse Show week" as they were when
this event was one of the most i'm
portant functions of the year.
The boxes are subscribed for by
well-known, fashionable folk, and one
is sure to see important personages
in the social world at both afternoon
and evening sessions; though the IN
initiated one is apt to make amusing
mistakes. for the owners of a box are
seldom in that particular box. Much
visiting is done from one box to an
other and very seldom indeed does
a member of the smart set sit through
a whole session in one chair. AS a
matter of fact, the wooden chairs are
too uncomfortable for a prolonged
occupancy, though the rich wraps
thrown over them make them look
quite luxurious from the promenade.
Wraps are worn from the carriage or
limousine directly into the box, with
no stop at a dressing room, as in
the theater or restaurant: and q
woman in evening dress never steps
from her box without drawing her
wrap over her shoulders. Gowns
without wraps over them are never
seen in the evening on the promenade
though the occupants of the boxes
sometimes come down and walk
around the oval to vary the monotony
of sitting still long.
Special Preparations Everywhere for
Horse Show Week.
In a sense, the week of the Horse
Show at the Garden is a sort of fes-
tival or carnival throughout the
city-Or at least that portion of it
which may be cIassed the fashiona-
BILE part All the restaurants and
hotels make special preparations: for
luncheons, teas and dinners before
and after the show are very popu-
lar and in every restaurant is
