| at the wrist, where a band of Fitch
fur forms the trimming. With this Mrs
Kaufman wore a modish black velvet
| hat low in the crown, with a slanting
| brim wider on one side than the other
| and decorated on its under side by a
spray of Paradise plummage in natural
coloring. Like many women tall enough
| to make the fad acceptable, Mrs. Kauff-
mann has adopted the low heel for street
wear. the boots seen under her smart
suit being of russell leather in a heavy
laced model on a broad but fashionable
| last. For fashions in shoes are just as
clearly defined as fashions in hats, gloves
or neckwear.
While the French tendency in modes is
undoubtedly making itself felt in all de-
partments of dress, the one place in
which the tailor-made. and the tailored
maiden. of the English and American
type more than hold their own is at the
country clubs and at the sporting centers
: of the smart world.
Miss Margaret Andrews. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Andrews, of Newport
and Washington, and Miss Susan Fish
Dresser, also well-known to Washington's
most exclusive set by reason OF her fire.
quent visits to her aunt, Mrs. George
Vanderbilt, were among the best-attired
girls, as well as the most enthusiastic
followers of the sport at Meadow Brook.
early in the week in suits distinctly Eng
lish in character. Miss Andrews dark
green cloth was made with round un-
trimmed skirt two inches OF the ground.
with a Russian blouse robbed of the full
ness originally found in that garment.
also with an inch or two added to the
skirt, the only trimming was straight
hand OF moleskin about the high neck,
which matched the square moleskin mum.
Miss Andrews wore a close low-crowned
turban of black velvet with narrow brim
finished in fur. and a very tall quill of
green and mole color decorating its left
front. The introduction of the mole color
was carried out even in the footwear
of this modish maiden, as she wore black
shoes with mole colored spats.
Miss Dressler wore a double-skirted but
undraped suit in rough dark cloth very
narrow at the ankles. with the short cut
away jacket showing a man-made waist
coat of fine broadcloth in a soft gray
just on the white. Her hat was much
less severe than Miss Andrews, being
small round affair in black velvet with
two silver gray wings poised at the back.
Miss Dressler wore a scarf of Fitch,
but carried no muff. Fitch fur the most
humble of the natural pelts Of a genera
ton ago, is one of the surprises OF the
winter. and already assured a fashionable
favor for at least one season.
While few women are so reasonable or
so punctilious to expect their motor cars
to match their clothes, there is certainly
a fitness of things which makes a bril-
liant vermillion motor an undesirable
background for lady in deep mourning.
Neither is a yellow bodied electric rum
about the most appropriate vehicle in
which a recent bereaved widow can go
out to do a days shopping. In happy |
contrast to these incongruities is the |
smart, new car operated by its youthful |
owner, Miss Margaret Perrin. Car and |
girl alike are well 'urned out and charm |
ingly appointed. Inc body OF the car Is |
a very dark blue, marked only with its |
own chauffeur, wears a dark blue tailor |
ed suit of rough cloth, with long coat |
and the smartest of purple hats.
The hat is a low crown, close fitting |
shape with narrow brim, narrower at !
the sides than fore and aft, and its trim |
ming a scant wreath of velvet fruit |
Miss Perrin wears no veil, notwithstand- |
ing her complexion is fine and fair, as /
should be that of girl in her first sea-
son, but does wear loose, business-like |
chauffeur gloves Of fur.
Miss Mary Howry youngest of the
two clever daughters of Judge Charles
B. Howry, is wearing a well-made, be-
coming one-piece street suit of duh pink /
eponge in heavy wool This gown fol- |
lows the conventional, slightly plated /
back and narrow front, with waistcoat |
of white and girdle of black and pink. |
Her hat is a modish little black velvet |
trimmed with pink rose.

The 1913 design Of crepe mattelasse Is
shown to excellent advantage In a very
handsome afternoon toilet worn by Miss
Janet Richards and made for this
travelled washingtonian in London Only
q few weeks ago. This Is rich gray,
just of the orchid. The background in
dull crepe, the hgure being a slender
floral desish in high luster.
Miss Richards skirt IL perfectly close
lifting at the top, with q panier fullness
starting almost at the knee, giving q
new and what promises to be very ac-
ceptable silhouette. The drapery thus
formed leaves a narrow, pointed panel
