A T THAT recent ultra-fashionable
"A event, "The Horse Show" New
York's Smart Set was distinguishable
by its Afternoon Costume Suits of
velvet and satin. and you can fully
understand why society was enrap-
tured of them if you've chanced to see
some of the magnificent models dis
played in Brandeis' windows this
week. There Is such infinite style and
richness about these suits which quite
defy the power of type to depict. Only
satin suits were to be seen in the Win
dows, and very lovely and unusual
thev we're. One model decidedly Rus
sian in tone was embroidered in silver
thread in an intricate design and
swathed in long, fluffy marten-that
fur which lends beauty to every face:
But inside the store Mrs. Gerrie of
the Suit Department very kindly
showed me these Afternoon Costume
Suits in chiffon velvet, and can
truthfully say they have that chic
which passeth all understanding. The
coats are so long that they may ap-
propriately be wornsas separate coats.
Basket tea-trays! have you seen
them, with their gay painted .posies
and black trellises from which hang
punches of misunderstanding, blue
grapes? I mean to have one for my
next tea party. Priced $l.sO to $4.oo.
