@FENlNG dress, during the Coro-
nation season in London. In
June, set standard Of splen-
~ dor and lavish luxury that will
require generously lined pocketbooks
to keep up with. Never were seen
such brocades, such tissues Of gold
and silver embroidered with pearls
and jewels, such laces. such fabrics
as were worn at the functions pre-
ccding and succeeding the great
event. A description of the costumes
worn at the Presentation Ceremonies
at Buckingham Palace reads like an
account Of fairy queen raiment, and
OF course the bare words convey lit
tie idea Of the beauty and sumptnous-
ness of the wonderful gowns with
their magnificent court trains, and
the superb jewels which accompanied
them.
A.. the fabrics for evening use this
season are exceptionally rich and lux
urious, and the colors are extremely
beautiful - wonderful East Indian
hues, vivid yet soft and elusive which
will be yelled with tissues of gold and
silver, rare lace, chiffons heavy and
clinging with bead and worsted en-
broideries and airy tulles and nets
weighted with fringes.
Some of the American dressmakers
are railing at what they call the up
holstery" fashions that Paris has set
for The coming season; and Of q
truth the heavy brocades, the coarse
patterned macrime laces, the fringes,
the metallic gimps and the huge tas-
sells do suggest sofa coverings and
ambrequins-until one has seen
them made up into Paris inspired cos
tunes. Then one only exclaims,
"How superb" and falls into &C.
stasies over the harmonious blending
o. so many rich materials.
Drapcd Ovcrdresses Suggest the Co.
lonial "Sacque.'
During the eighteenth century
woman's dress consisted Of a bodice
and looped drapery over petticoat
of contrasting material. The bodice
and drapery were all in one piece
and were called the "sacque' Very
elegant costumes had sacques Of bro
cade over fpetticoats of satin; humber
models were made of homespun or of
printed lawn or chintz. This old style
sacque is suggested by some Of the
new evening gowns which have I'M
der petticoats Of contrasting fabric,
the tunic drapery being slashed or
looped up to show this contrasting
skirt. A gown Of this sort was worn
in Paris at the premier Of a new play
last month, Over a petticoat Of gold

Ton was a draped tunic Of purple

OF lavender malines. ....

CHANGE IN CAVALRY
Reorganization of That Branch
of the Military Planned.
REDUCE SIZE OF REGIMENTS
Purpose Is to Have Each Composed
of Six Troops With a Limit
of 600 Men.

Steps will be taken soon toward the re-
organization of the cavalry regiments of
the army. This will be done by the divl-
sion of the 18th Cavalry into two provi-
sional modern cavalry regiments OF six
troops each. II that organization proves
satisfa Glory il will be extended to all of
the other cavalry regiments, which Will
limit them to 600 men each Although the
other arms and corps Of the service have
been reo"ganized In recent years, there
has been no change in the cavalry since
Madison's administration.
It is generally accepted as military
maxim that regiment Of cavalry In ex-
cess of COO is an unwieldly organization.
Military critics almost universally declare
that the United States Army would be
seriously embarrassed Il it should go to
war with a first-class power under mod
ern conditions with It's present cavalry
organization. The subject has been dis
cussed for some time by the general
staff. but not until recently has Il been
decided to take steps for the reorganiza-
ton of that branch of the military. The
experiment with the 18th Regiment will
be watched with interest, as upon its re-
suit will depend the policy to be adopted
by the department.
To Try Out New Equipment.
1t is expected that the new cavalry
equipment which Is to receive a service
test with the sd Cavalry, will be issued
about May l. At that time the regiment
will start on q long hike across the coun-
try. AS planned by the cavalry board
the "a Regiment is to give the equipment
a thorough test under all possible serv-
Le conditions.
1t has been decided to designate five Of
ficers of the United States cavalry to
represent the army &f the United States
at the international horse show to be
held at Olympia near London. in June
next. This action wav taken upon the
invitation Of the British government. The
officers have not yet been designated.
They will go through a course of prelimi-
nary instruction at the cavalry post at
Fort Myer before going to London. Ten
enlisted men of the cavalry. all expert
horsemen. will accompany the delegation,
and it is contemplated that each man
shall be provided with two thoroughly
trained horses.
