NEW YORK, n. V, Oct, 20.-When
old Noah set out on his life raft he
took with him animals of every known
species. But he had nothing on the
|Fashionables who gathered at the polo
games at Meadowbrook, Long Island,
in October. They entered the grand
Is tand carringy an assortment Of
pelts on their backs that Noah never
heard of.
Besides fair representation of
skunks, monkeys, ze bras, cam
els, racoons and the regular run of do
mestie pelts there were many brilli-
Iantiv dyed furs that kept one guess
ing as TO their original owner.
There was yellow monkey fur used
las trimming on Il yellow sport coat.
A sport costume of dull pink material
was eollared with pink-dyed ermine.
Blue foxes were abundant. smart
Jacket of gray.dyed ermine had collar
land cuffs of gray-dyed fox. Even the
lowly rabbit was represented, but not
in his original color scheme, you may
be sure. His hide shone resplendent
ON the smart little white jackets that
were worn over black velvet gowns.
All Wear Sport Costumes
The days when women appeared in
fussy afternoon gowns carrying dainty
parasols to affairs that are held in the
open are past. Nowadays the best
dressed women wear sport costumes
almost without exception, but these
!are not of the sweater and skirt vari-
ETY. by any means. Made ON sport
lines, they are elaborate creations en-
broidered in betwitehing patterns or
heavily fur trimmed.
The three piece sport suits, consist
ing of a slip-on gown of knitted silk
with a jacket of the same material,
heavily encrusted with embroidery,
was perhaps the most prominent model
Worn ut the polo games, although many
| of the younger girls wore simple little
gowns of silk jersey in pastel tones,
such as Nile green and peach pink. In
nearly every instance the hat matched
the costume with whieh it was worn
Felts We're without doubt the most pop
ular of the hat materials and they
were trimmed with tail feathers of
green parrot or peacock placed at one
side and falling over the shoulder. Tan
felts trimmed in pheasant in the same
manner We're numerous worn with
gowns of wood shades.
Green in that lovely new grass shade
was qaite noticeable and proved to be
most becoming on the woman with
| light brown hair and fair coloring.
One young Miss who looked particular
lily attractive wore IA gown of duh
green, chamois cloth cut on long slen-
der Lines with hat of green felt
trimmed with the body of a small par
rot with the tail feathers circling
around her throat
Coats of Vivid Plaid
Topeoats of vivid plaids also added
a pleasant bit of coloring to the grand
stands. One Of the most attractive of
these was a coat of green and tan plaid
Worn by tall young matron who ear
ried vivid green cane. which was
matched by green felt sport hat. A
black and white plaid top coat had
its collar and cuffs edged with black
and white monkey fur. Most of the
top-coats are bloused low in back and
are swathed across the front, fasten-
ing on one hip.
Another sport costume that is well
worth mentioning was of white duve-
tyne IN skirt and jacket effect which
was worn with perky little black
velvet turban trimmed with a center
cluster of white ermine tails.
Gloves We're CONSPICUOUS by their
absence at the polo events although
a few women were seen carrying them
IN their hands. Brown shoes worn
with brown heather silk stockings
eloeked III orange were popular.
1T was quite startling to see so many
women with sun-tanned faces this late
IN the season, for usually by this time
the bleaching process has been well on
ITS. way and the summer tan has been
completely effaced. This year women
evidently intend to carry their summer
complexions ar into the winter
months The dark Partisan makeup,
however, has been completely abandon
ed by women of fashion.
