SOCIETY FOLK THRONG
TODEVON HORSE SHOW
Many Girls Who Will Be Debu-
tantes Next Year Make
First Appearance

Aside from the attraction for those
whose first interest is good horselesh, the
Devon show is the premier social event
of the spring season. Not only does
Philadelphia society turn out IN force
but the exhibition is made the occasion
Of much entertaining OF visitors from
New York, Boston, Washington and other
cities.
1t also marks the first appearance Of
those girls who next year will make
their formal debut and enter the world
Of social gaiety that is not confined to
college proms and the meetings Of the
junior dancing classes on Saturday night
With the opening of the Horse Show,
which surely ranks among the foremost
of societys events, the summer girl APP
peared in all her winning glory this
morning. There seems to be little doubt
that the sports girl is with us this sea-
son and with us to stay
Is 1t that the short white skirt, COM
Portable white shoes and soft panama
are easiest to wear or is 1t fact that
these fresh and dainty garments topped
with brilliant hued silk sweaters with
their soft sashes, or, newer still, the bright
silk corduroy coats, are after all the
prettiest and smartest looking costumes
of the show?
One of the earllst arrivals this MORN
ing was Miss Kitty Smith who looked
very smart In a sports suit of white
flannel with panama hat and white shoes
to match. Mrs. Charles Randolph Snow
den was an interested spectator. She was
gowned In white with small white hat
trimmed with fiat daisies A white coat
was also worn and a lace veil.
Mrs. Victor c. Mather was another
early arrival She was gowned in white
with long gray coat trimmed with the
blue worsted bows. and her hat was of
tucked blue silk.
Miss Gabrielle NJ. Tllghman and Miss
Angela Nalle were seated outside the
oval Miss Tilghman was wearing an
extremely smart silk sweater of rose
pink, very long, which was held in at
the waist by a wide scarf and tassels OF
the same exquisite weave Miss Tisgh-
mans hat was a semi-large model OF
rose pink, and the crown was surrounded
with large crush roses Miss Nalle was
beautifully gowned in champagne-colored
cloth.

greater number of entries in the ma
jority of the classes, but the entry list
