Many were In white, or tho pastel shades; ono especially nttractlvo fan was of midnight blue, uncurled ostrich. os-trich. Tho matter of gloves with the sleeveless frocks, and all wcro sleovo-less sleovo-less with ono or two exceptions, has probably been a problem with many; whlto gloes, coming Just nbovo tho elbow, woro generally worn; now nnd then ono noticed a. pair in yalo pink or dcop cream to match tho frock; ono or two pairs of black, too wero worn. Tho universal uso of tullo, mallucs, or tho (lno meshed net was very notlccablo; it was used to veil tho neck and arms, as a scarf, In tho hair, or billowing, pannier fashion, fa-shion, over tho hips. Tho men with their black suits and whlto fronts made an excellent background for theso pretty women and their doll cntoly colored frocks. Daytime Suits at th Horse Show The ilajttmo costumes at tho Horse Show wcro nulto as Interesting as thoso worn In tho ovenlng. Whllo thoro wero many attractlvo ono piece dresses worn under smart soparato ed scmltallorcd suit of broadcloth, gabardine, duvetyn, whip cord, and novelty cheeks and stripes. Mnny dull colored mixtures woro worn, trimmed, of course, with fur or with braid. An exceptionally effectlvo suit of dark green duvetyn wos mado with a rtouueod skirt and flaring popluin on tho coat. A wldo soft collnr of dark fox and a barrel muff of fox accompanied ac-companied tho suit. Other effective details wer.t tho matching spats, tho wldo velvet hat, and tho nifty stick. Another tailored suit, worn tho samo aftornoon equally simple and chic, was of dark blue gabardine mado with a Itusslan blouso coat, and llaring skirt, trimmed with narrow bandB of seal; a. small ball muff of beaver and seal was carried nnd spats of whlto corresponded with tho whlto falllo ribbon on tho stiff brim med hat. The Three Quarter Coat This length provalls In tho soparato sopar-ato poat for daytlmo wear. Thoy nre of fur, or clntli, fur trimmed. When tho coat is mado of cloth It may con traHt with or match tho frock.

The majority ma-jority ot these coats aro ma'do with normal shoulders and set In sleeves although there are many rnglan models. mod-els. Ono especially pretty coat was of brocaded brown velvet, loose and falling nearly to tho skirt hem, belted belt-ed In with brown leather. Several leather costumes wero noticed at tho Horso Show ono afternoon; they wero worn by mannequins from ono of our largo dressmaking establishments, establish-ments, and created qulto a bit of comment. Leather suits arc a novolty nov-olty nnd ns such nro attractive, but In all probability thoy will not become be-come popular with tho general run of peoplo. |
