is left in the dressinS-room. the
handsome furs being retained over
the gown. In the evening the car
riage wrap Is worn directly into the
box and thrown over \ chair behind
its wearer. This Is fortunate, from
an artistic standpoint, for the fur
nishings Of the boxes at the Show are
80 bare and unsightly that the rich
wraps lend a very kindly atmosphere
of luxury, and cover up chairs that
would be absurdly out Of keeping with
the rich costumes worn in the boxes.
When one steps out of box for =
visit to another box or for q saunter
on the promenade. near the ring. the
wrap is always donned. 1t Is consid
cred exceedingly bad form to move
about wrapless at SO cosmopolitan an
affair as the Horse Show. and an un-
covered evening gown Is never seen
on the promenade. The white err
mine wrap illustrated Is typical Of the
sumptuous fur garments worn at the
Horse Show, even though the weather
in its Indian Summer mildness may
render the weight and warmth of such
garment well nigh intoierable. This
wrap has very simple lines and. like
many Of the new wraps. does not fall
meath. The shorter cut, together with
ment. reveals the foot and ankle
plainly. when the soft folds of the
skirt are lifted in crossing q corridor
or stepping into a Limousine. One
feels that this il quite as 1t should be
for usually the footwear that accom-
panies the evening costume Is far too
pretty to be hidden.
The beautiful white ermins coat
pictured IL trimmed with big cord
frogs, and this IL also indicative Of
style note OF the autumn. Every
thing II loaded with cord. braid and
passsmenterie trimmings. and even
the fur garments are trimmed with
tassels and cord ornaments. as they
were thirty or forty years ago. There
are new mink muffs and neckpieces
with brown silk tassels that are re-
markably like some Of the old FASH
Toned fur garments that one comes
across In collections of clothes Of q
generation agone.
Tailored Wear For the Afternoon.
This erase for braid trimming Is
noticeable also on the new tailored
wear. Even velvet suits have edges
bound with braid and broadcloth and
serge costumes are loaded with ex-
psnsivs braid trimmines. Such trim
ming gives . very dressy suggestion
to the simplest suit. but simple suits
are not the fashion now for anything
except morning wear. ana at the
Horse Show elaborate costumes rather
than simple ones are affected. That

they SO love to linger through the In

the Horse Show; this is the invaria BILE
rule-the mandate of fashion, as un-
alterable as the laws of the Modes and
Persians; that Horse Show week in
Manhattan establishes the beginning
OF the fur season and whatever the
weather's caprice, those that have
furs prepare to wear them now.

furs have had their day and the craze
Tor colors, not only in furs but in all
fabrics, promises Horse Show week
