If the horse show next week in
spires as much attendance as it has
conversation. it is pretty sure to be a
success so far, at least. as numbers
are concerned.
Society is looking forward to it as
an affair of some brilliance and the
beginning of gayety in the social world.
Naturally. the question of dress Is one
of a good deal of concern. especially
to those who will occupy boxes. For
tunately there is a wide latitude of
choice in correct costuming for the
occasion. The fact that it Is to be an
open-air rather than an indoor affair,
and at this time of year, too. will
make wraps necessary. Accordingly,
tailored suits will probably be worn
by many. A regular evening gown
and evening wrap are quite in order,
and dress hats will certainly be worn
by practically all the women.
A Topeka woman who saw the
horse show in New York in Madison
Square Garden says that many strik-
ingly handsome costumes were worn
there by the occupants of the boxes.
There were a lot of handsome tailored
costumes (for New York just now is
extremely partial to tailored outfits).
but that a good many of the women
appeared in elaborate evening gowns.
Mrs. Guggenheim, for one, wore an
evening dress with wrap of emerald
green. The hats. she said. were no.
ticeably beautiful There were white
hats and. the weather being cool, many
white furs. There were Paradise hats,
and all the chapeaux, in fact, APP
peared to receive the special attention
of the well-dressed. Some of the
women in evening gowns were with
out hats. but that practice, according
to some late authorities, is going out
OF fashion. Nearly all of the men
wore full evening dress, though a sur
prisingly large number wore their
business suits
The men, it seems. always exercise
more Independence about their
clothes than women do; so no man
would be very much stared at if he
chose to wear his blue serge, his plaid
tie and his last years derby.
