Fall Chic Is Goal Of Smart Polo Thongs
BY BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer

I ANCA SOlNlC "lltCl New York, Sept. 19.-The most distinguished sporting crowd of the | year. the 45,O00 or so who turned | out to see the United States polo team trim the Britishers in the in- ternational matches at Meadow brook, was as impressive a spec tacle as old Long Island has ever | witnessed.
 The great stands, gaily painted robin's-egg blue and white. the Meadowbrook club colors, looked like huge fields of flowers, so color full were the frocks donned for the | occasion,
 Then there was F. Ambrose Clark's coach and four driving his party over, most of the women wear ing bright colors. The majority of | folks arrived by auto or train, al- | belt a few did descend from air planes, proving how modern as well as popular this sport has be- come.
 Lord and Lady Cromwell, arriving Saturday morning on the Aquitania, rushed over to the polo field, Lady Cromwell looking exceedingly trim in smart English tweeds, with huge fur collar on her coat, and one of those new shallow crowned | turbans.
 New Hats Aren't Just for Debbies It is mistake to think only the youngest debutante can wear the new hats. I defy anyone to look smarter than several of the women did at the games. Mrs. Virginia Fair Vanderbilt was stunning in a ruddy brown and tan velvet chapeau of this type, and so were Mrs. Nor man de R. Whitehouse, in white one with a jeweGed clip. and Mrs Robert McAdoo,. in a very shallow white one, topping a figured frock and plain jacket with much white organdie in the front.
 Very sumnRery looking were some tof- the engaged girls present. Fran ces Ottley, there with her iance, | William B. Wood, wore a sleeveless pastel jersey frock, with jacket and a black velvet beret. Frances Gl- more, with her 'fance, R. Norris Williams Srd, had on a cute little faring linen frock, with cap sleeves and R one-inch tuck running hori- zontally around the waist, just above a morrow leather belt.
 Fanny Moore combined jersey and tweed in her ust-colored outfit, the one-pece frock of jersey, the short jacket in tweed.
 Corsages and shoulder bouquets were the order of the day in many of the box parties. Mrs. Charles B. Harding and her sister, Priscilla Choate, both wore orchids. Mrs. tHarding had on a smart little black flat crepe outfit that had one of the new short jackets atop it, with elbow sleeves from under which the frock's sleeves protruded. Priscilla wore cffic directoire coat, in navy blue, over a printed silk frock, with her hat half blue, half white. Mrs. Harry Payne Bingham wore both gardenias and long, magnificent fur too.
 sFurs Compliment Individual Mode
 Fall furs are nothing if not in dividual looking and lovely. Mrs. Robert Lawrence wears lovely neckpiece of couple of grand sables. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney wore a magnificent silver fox, very long, very grand, over a print frock. Her daughter, Mrs. G. MacCulloch Miller wore pair of crown clips, all in rubies and diamonds, one in her biege hat, one at the neck of her frock.
 The vogue for wool lace frocks was represented by many smart folks, one particularly gay gold yellow one lighting up a group on a Hispano car. Mrs. T. Markoe Robinson wore one of the prettiest. a rust red frock, fitted, belted, with a rather wide shirt collar, all seal loped, and cute short sleeves. It flared from below the hipline and the lace edge finished the skirt too. Her hat was exactly matching in color, and over her arm she carried a smart lapin sports coat.
 Novelty tweeds are the smart ones this autumn. Mrs. c. Perry Beadleston wore a charming version of this style, horizontally striped weave, with fitted coat and f1aring skirt and the coat lined with white jersey, and a white jersey blouse finished in the tweed. Her tweed lberet carried a handsome jewelled | ha c1S of Of f1ouprS o, ono ci5p
