THB popularity OF the sheer

u creates the need for a rather
substantial skirt beneath them. Silk

It's good to see the Riding Club,
coming to the front again after a
period OF innocuous desuetude. It's
still the Riding Club, OF course, with
all manner OF notables numbered
among its members. but this winter
they seem TO have rather overlook ed
their allegiance TO the club in the
press OF war work and other import
ant matters.
However, when Mr.. Emo, william
Phelps Emo, president OF the club. re-
vlved the musical rides OF other
seasons, transferred them from the
afternoon TO the eveninE-Tuesday
evenings-and decreed that officers
of our own and our Allies armies
should be the honor guests, he gave
a hIlip OF interest to club activities
