Types of solid build and dark coloring

an exaggerated plains, rejuvenating aida
to looks. Whit I now much used for both
day aa well as evening- wear, white gowns,
hat and furs appearing at all smart after
noon functions. Then brown and white Is a
kindly combination for Indifferent com
flexions, and it is one superbly effective
when in the shape of a corduroy gown
With ermine trappings.
The horse show, which virtually entab
llshes mode in New York, demonstrate J
the fact that brown and white was to be
the color combination of the season. Num
bers of plain brown velvet and brown
corduroy gowns were seen there, the half
fitting hunar or blouse coats topping bod
ices of brown, ecru or white lace. The
ermine neckpieces were of varying lengths,
but generally in stole shape, and the smart
est muff always in flat bag form.
The most effective hats for these cos
tume were the huge boat turbans, milliner-made,
of long-haired beaver. A brim
band of ermine trimmed many of these,
while other were encircled by wreaths of
velvet berries. Still others showed at the
left ear stiff rosettes of white or black
lace, or chenille with long swinging tas
sels below. Borne of the most effective of
the horse show toques were of tucked or
Shirred tulle with a gilt rosette and tassels
at the side. Indeed, the trimming that
wings is the thing, and the woman cf
fading beauty turns to good account the
long silk fringes of the hour.
On of the most delightfully gowned
women seen this winter was a dame of at
least 6 years of age, the shoulder portion
of whose white fox pelerine hung with a
deep ivory silk fringe. Her gown, made
absolutely without trimming, was of dark
phim panne, and around her plum velvet
and white tulle bonnet went a wreath of
white velvet raisins.
Raisins have succeeded grapes In the
millinery world. White fur muffs, Intended
to go with a raisin trimmed hat, are some
times decked with a large bunch of the
purple and white fruit. From the open
ings of the muff will hang festoons of silk
or chenille fringe or cascades of lace. A
white panne muff with purple and white
rahtlns has falls of purple lace.

UK New York Society for Political
Btudy, whose membership I com
posed entirely of women of cul
ture, devoted Itself at Its last
meeting to a discussion of the
question whether it is dress or brains that
counts most with women, and especially In
women's club. It Is not clear In what
way this subject Is connected with polltl
cat study, but the discussion was none the
less Interesting on that account, for while
the majority favored brains, a large anil
able minority favored dress.
Mrs. Ullle Devereux Blake, whose name
Is pleasantly and strenuously associated
with the advancement of woman, openej
the disciuvlon and Insisted that It was
brains that made- the Individual a power,
and yet, wise woman that she Is, she did
not deem It fitting anyone should Ignore
dress, for. after all. It is the man behind
the gun who counts, and It H the brain
under the hat. the heart under the cor
sage, that counts in club life. Another
member thought women did not dress
beautifully or rationally, and It would be a
good thing If. women's clubs would teach
them how to do both. Another shrewd
sister warned club women to drew suit
ably, for "nobody thinks the more of you
for being shabby." Another thought it
was neither drees nor brains but character
lhat gave club women a standing. An
other rejoiced that women of today are
broadening In their views as well as their
waists, nnd another insisted that after
a woman shows her brains it makes little
difference how she dresses. airs. Illak
wound up the dtecuarlon In Mrs. Blake's
conventional way. She bated "the clothes
we wear, but we can't make guys of our
selves. " and then she consoled herself and
her hearers by declaring that "men's
clothes are no more sensible than ours"
end that "men are Just as much slaves to
custom aa we are."
It wss an unusually interest Ing heart-to-heart
discussion of a question which Is
specially near and dear to the female
heart. Nearly every member of that dig
nified society, the Society for Political
Btudy, had something to cay, but the best
and mot pertinent speech of the after
noon was the briefest one. It was Just
fourteen words long snd was made by the
prettiest end most becomingly dressed
woman in the room. "Other things being
equal, the woman with the prettiest hat
will get there first," she said in a positive
manner. . She was applauded by the mi
nority members, all of whom had pretty
hats, and was frowned upon by the ma
jority, who lsy claim to the brains of the
Society for Tolltlcal Study.
If Ihe. question were left to men lo
decide tre Is little doubt how they would
cast their hnllots. They believe In pretty
women' prettily dressed. They do not. of
course. cMrapprove of brains, but If they
had to decide betrreen the two. It Is to be
feared, such Is the weakresF cf the mas
culine nature, that the . pretty woman
would win nearly every lime. Whether
this Is due to a man's love nf feminine
beauty richly rdorned cr to hts dre-d or
feminine brains need pot be discussed.
Possibly It Is because men' are so made.
