 Fashionable Saratoga's Races
By BETSY SCHUYLER (NEA Service Writer)

| huge IdNeuutI, plilh anu "IlllS ny drangeas. is the scene of a kind of seething parade of Who's Who so cially, everyone out looking over the horses before placing bets, and greeting each other in passing.
 No women, so far. has dressed in the ultra formal Ascot or Deauvllle race fashion. No woman who's any one. 1 mean. Mrs. George Widener added zest to the sight Saturday by her gorgeous outfit, an ankle-length frock of gray chiffon printed in shadoWy flowers of pink.
 Mrs. J. Walter Salmon, accom- panied by her son, Master Burton, was a picture the same day, garbed in a bolero frocks also ankle length, of orange, brown and beige chiffon, all her accessories beige. She wore huge, fared-back beige straw hat. an original Boucheron or l do not know that Londoner,
 This is the first season in years when it is a chore to sum up styles, they are so much d matter of indi vidual taste. The popularity of the white hat, no matter what the outfit, is pronounced. Such notabes as Lois Salmon, Mrs. Charles Amory, Mrs. Vincent Hubble, Evelyn Clark. Mrs. Dodge Sloane, Mrs. J. Gordon Douglas. Mrs. Harvey Shaffer spon- sor it. Mrs. George |. Harris was stunning in white straw beret that contrasted startingly with her en- viable suntan.
 Sports Suits Varied
 Femininized sports suits. many with warehouses instead of tuck ins, lacy wool sports frocks, printed frocks for the track and dinner, ia brio shoes, colored stockings, short gloves with short sleeves. purses to match hats, slightly longer sports skirts, circular and fitted effects these point up the styles seen, though each woman is a law unto herself these days. One of the smartest cape sleeves was worn by Mrs. Frederick Johnson, black, red and white print, with black gloves and hat.
 Mrs. Payne Whitney never missed q single race and is always to be see neither in box 34 or out chat ting in the paddock with the Green tree trainers or greeting friends. She is very trim this year and ultra chic, especially one day in q black and white printed suit, with white hat, shoes and purse. Her pearls are superb! Fer daughter Joan, Mrs. Charles Payson, towers over her petite mother. Mrs. Payson has a penchant for nonchalant sports suits, either pastel or white, and usually tops them with white pique or linen hats.
 Chic little Mrs Earl T. Smith, in q charming blue silk sleeveless frocli, made very. very short. I might add, and q pink hat. pink slippers and stockings. could hardly take step her first day without having to stop and explain in her throaty voice why her mother, the renowned Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt hadn't ar rived until Saturday night.
 All-Nhite is Smart
 You cant beat the all-white out fit, if you try. Every day so far, Mrs F. r. Wetherell has been a focal point of attention in the open-air Club House restaurant, always in white, one day linen, the next fiat crepe, with q roughish white straw hat q perfect foil for her sunny hair and healthy. tanned skin.
 Prints are fully as good evenings as daytimcs. At the Piping Rock one evening. Mrs. George Mcata and all her guests wore printed chiffon gowns, most of them long. graceful and colorful, with capes, jackets or coats of their own materials. An other evening. when the Charles AmoTys took their children to the 1 Piping Rock to hear the obliging | Vincent Lopez and his orchestra play their favorite pieces, Mrs. Amory wore a lovely red and cream printed frock, with red hat of semi picture size.
 . Glancing down at the boxes on q single day I saw the following smart folks in prints: Mrs. George L. Harris, in an oXQulste white kasha suit. pin blocked in slate blue; Mrs. C. Oliver lsclin, perhaps the beSt-dressed woman at the tracks she who always travels with at least two personal maids, in q sprightly print in old blues and soft plnks with charming frosted crystal beads earrings and bracelet; Mrs. Harold E. Talbot in gorgeous red. black and white star printed ensemble, with Jacket and skirt finished in pleated ruffles: Mrs. Deering Howe in dream of an apricot colored wool lace frock, short sleeves, with fitted lines.
 Children Are Chic
 Notwithstanding that children and pets are not allowed at the tracks, little two year old Emma Widener. in her dainty handmade white ba- tiste frock, cape coat and French poke bonnet, was quite the belle of the ball one day, being passed about from box to box, looking perhaps the most at home on the lap of that gracious lady Mrs. ChaunCey Olcott.
 Little Sonia Phipps is a steady paddock attendant, apparently being coached personally by her famous horse-woman mother. Mrs. Henry C. Phipps. Sonia, it seems to me, greatly resembles her aunt, the dem ocratic and charming Duchess Of Granada.
 With the big sweepstakes coming in a few days it looks as if Saratoga will continue to be the center of fashion for some time to come.
