Mrs. Harding's Costume.
Oh. but | can almost hear your re-
proach that haven't told you what Mrs.
Harding had on for her one appearance
at the horse show. Nothing very revo-
lutionary. a smart looking spring cos
tune of blue and white foulard with a
sleeveless overdress or tunic affair of
finely pleated navy blue georgette. Her
hat was OF dark blue taffeta faced with
white orsandy and had two big rosettes
of blue taffeta edged with white or
CANDY. Mrs. Sylvanus Stokes, Jr.. wore
far more striking costume of lavender
georgette with big enveloping cloak Of
violet wool with collar Of squirrel, and
topping this a small lavender and
purple hat The previous day Mrs.
Stokes, whose costumes are always In

black crepe made absolutely without
sleeves. the skirt wrapped tight about
the figure and faced with dark purple.
With this she wore a big black hat and
scarf of black and white monkey fur
and long white gloves. a get up which
was rather bizarre but effective That
was the day she had the baby with her
small white figure topped with an
adorable pink taffeta bonnet she sug-
gested a sweet pea.

philadelphia once or twice with Mis-,
Gladys Hinckley. whom she meets here.
Miss Sullivan wore on one occasion a
graceful gray gown, fringe trimmed, and
big henna hat and Miss Hinckley had

with her big green hat Miss Ailsa
Mellon was there several times. but her
attire did not seem 70 register, except
when she was in riding togs-she
showed her own entries--a smart brown
habit and soft brown hat. which was
ever go becoming. She had Major-Gen.
Bethel of the British Embassy in her
train.

memory, but l haven't tod You even
