BY BETSY SCHUYLER New York, Aug 1o-On Fifth avenue. the reign Of lowered cl11f- fons and foppy hats is drawing to a close-printed velvets and dark ser ious satins are eager to assume con- mand and have already taken the shop windows and the workrocms.

 Generally Conservative Individually the smart set is con servative, and revolutionary ideas or rebel manifestations are rare. They adhere to a general style platform, and a unity of aim and endeavor. This is highly commendable because women not only look we'll individu- ally. but as group.

 saw Virginia Thaw in very interesting printed costume, band ed and belted with the same share of blue as the little short finger length coat she wore with it.
 Mrs. James P. Donahue, daugh- ter of the late F. w. Woolworth, wore costume Of printed geor- gette, with a very interesting skirt that was accordion pleated in the front. and scalloped irreg- ularly in rather deep points The blouse was of plain color, which plain color was repeated in the ia bot frill of the coat. Her wide brimmed hat had wreath of flowers around the crown, and on her shoulder were some beautiful orchids
 However, Mrs. Donahue wanted no attention for herself - her in- terest lay in her wire-haired ter rier, San Sensational" really nifty pup that took his homage quite as a matter of course. Doeskin Gloves Popular Geraldine Shepard's print frocE had an unusual neckline, with g double row of pleating on either side of the V making q diagonal line across her front. The skir' also was ruffled.
 With her was Mrs. Ira F. War ner, in a white silk sport frocE over which she wore a fascinating coat of printed linen - or maybe it was silk. Nearly all the wome1 I saw were wearing these yer, short white doeskin gloves, whicl seem just made for midsummel wear.

It had double flounce of box pleats or the skirt, and the plainest possible treatment of the sleeve< and neck line. I noticed she wore a tripl' strand of pearls. and identica bracelets on either arm.
