Fashions of the Dav.
Iy I tr6t AlfUiHo: A Easter is to
Hprinz wli. i tho Uors Show,, t
the ' I' fvr winter. Of eopre wYf
fecial u urtMl io(liffeienc;HJ were not
certain "hit w would wtUntl the equine
exhibition, but. my dear -miss it? Not
for world?! worlds, with nil the ad
vunce d ideas of Nicko'n Tes!u perfected
nr.d thrown in.
Surveying this array of fashion, beauty
and beasts or is "beast' an ugly word
for blur-ribbon borsesf I atn in a daze
hen I try to focus my mind to ijfvo you
sn idea cf the latest of this season's cre
ations. It ie big bats and little ton nets, with
creeping Jong pluineB on tho one. aig
rettes and tips on the other. It is
Russian blouses for outside wraps, and
blouses) too, for dresses of all descrip
tions. It is high collars, braiding, em
broidery, fur trimmings, tucks, coraings,
pipit g.tatin and velvet applique. It is
cloth, it iH velvet, velvet embroidered
and miooth-faced cloths braided. It is
sweepirg skirts, circular in effect, close
and clinging around the hips, in front
and at the sides.
In colore, added to the black, "baby
gray' and pale beige, are Havana brown,
purple and deep red. The brown is
gold?n, the purple is royal and the red
is blrod color. Then there are the bluee,
not quite so popular. Of these. "Yale
blue" and "jockey blue" are tho correct
shades; Yale.blue is.atrong, while jockey
blue has a violet tne.
The severity and "mannish" look of '
being taikr-made have disappeared in
the blouse, braiding and trimmings, still
ye tailor goes on making, waists that
rttain the form xrhen off. so that you
can ".-ee joursel' as itbers see you."
With tho piJding. can-as and stitching
concealed by the silken lining these
wa'sts are armors to wear -but the
tailor's reputation is saved.
Silk waistP. fancy waists or extri
aia:6 are just as much worn as ever.
They are tr.o convenient to be given up.
"Waists of this kind give great scope to
individual taste, but the pouch cr blocse
in fiont must always be a feature, though
it can be varied to suit the wearers
figure. The blouse-back is not meeting
with much favor. The front can Le
very full and quite long or just slightly
draped.
An exqu6ite waist waB of cerise satin
-with a jot joke, jetted black net draped
in the front, plain black, net gathered
into folds in the back,"collar and belt of
ceriEf velvet. The collar was a wrink
Jed stock with lwx-pleats of the velvet a1
the op of the stock and at the back and
an inner ruff of lace. Tho belt was
drawn tight around the waist in wrinkl
ed folds. The sleeves were incsquetaire.

of satin covered with plain net and hav
ing small puffs at the top, not set on
separately, but formed from the sleeves.
Thi waist was worn with a black satin
skirt and with tho costume was a black
velvet "picture hat,"' a rninestone buckle
fastening the codding black plumes to
one side in front next the hair. letting
them fall backward over the very much
upturned brim.
, You remember the golden brown cloth
I wrote you about? The waist, which in
blousd in front and Las a short basque
fitting plainly around the hips, has a de
sign on a baud of satin which is traced
with a fine braid; this trimming runs
around the basque up .one side of the
front (wliere it fastens and extends in
to a narrow yoke effect around thececk.
The satin is a shado lighter than the
cloth and the braid used is a shade
darker, the three shades making u very
rich combination. The belt is of the
satin and the braiding, and has quite a
decided point in front under the blouse.
Tho skirt is perfectly plain, but instead
of the popular invisible pleats at the
back the fulness is taken into two boi
pleates. The dress is lined throughout
with a changeable purple and brown
silk. To wear with this ccstumo there
is a bat of brown velvet. It has a soft
crown, shirred brim, raised at the left
side; under th-trim there is a cluster of
velvet and silk roses against the hair
the exact shade? of the cloth and the
satin, and standing high on this same
side a bunch of ostrich tips in the two
shades. The suit is a sjmphony in
brown.

was a capo reacnicg almost to the linger
ends, made of chinchilla and pleated
satin in palegreen entered with frills of
creamy lace. Around the neck was a
high. Uaring chinchilla collar, with an
inner ruff of the pleated satin and .lace.
A bow and ends of tbogreen satin ribbon
fastened the cape at the throat, the ends
of the ribbon being trimmed with frill
ingsof lace.
Immense bows at the throat of these
diaphanous snuffs mulle, chiffon, mous
selaine do soie, Liberty silk, anything
and everything thin, are fashionable and
useful in giving light touches to a cos
tume which is otherwise plain.
Thibet goat is used a great deal for
trimming evening wrap?, and whole,
capes are made of it, wrth enormous
muffs accompanying.
Gray astrakhan (Krimmer) is effective
for blouses and capes, end when lined
with rich red velvet it is a positive joy.
Of course this lining shows to better ad
vantage in the capos. To sum it up.
Adelaide, this season, is a rollicking riot
of color gorgeous colors.
Ono consolation is that the riches of
these colors carry a double m?aning s.-
far as to keep them from becoming
common.
The large tip-tilted hats and the new
and, for the most part, unbecoming Rus
sian blouse3 are tne most striking n veri
ties worn by the women at the horse
show this year. I have seen some very
handsome gowns, and those worn in par
ticular by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. Mrs.
Frederick II. Benedict, Miss Bessie
Stokes, Mrs. Gecrge Gould, Mrs. Crock
er, Miss Eleanor Sedley and particularly
by Miss Vera Boarman of New Orleans,
were notably handsome and effective.
Miss Boarman has spent the last two
summers at Narragansett Pier, where
she was known as the New Orleans Car
nival Queen. She has soft brown hair,
clear complexion and large, dark ejes;
on Monday night, in a gown of the new
Parma violet shade. she looked extreme
ly fetching. The frock had the newest
style of skirt the sun-skirt and was
very narrow and plain over the hips and
iiaring out below. A cascade ot lace fell
from the neck of the cape, a double oce
of the same violet shad" as tho frock,
with a high flaring collar edged with
sable and all lined with cream satin.
Her picture hat, a Parma violet beaver,
which framed her Madonna like face to
perfection, wrs trimmed with three large
violet ostrich plumes and a velvet rosette
fastened by the inevitable rhinestono
buckle. Miss Boarman was easily tho
best dressed woman at th ? show, and
her delicate beauty, which has already
won for ber the sobriquet or thn "Society
Cleo de Merode,' makes her th6 centre
of attraction wherever she :s. Tessa.
The Ladv in Brown.
It wps at the play. A lady in a
brown costume and large stylish hat sat
next on my right. She was intent on
the orchestra when wo entered.
At the end oT the first act the lady
was Ico'iirg interestedly into the boxes.
1 followed her eyes, then suddenly
dropped mine, and caught a glimpse of
a hand stealing noiselessly in my direc
tion. 1 coughed slightly and the hand
was back in her lap.
With the second curtain, tho haud
had nearly reached me again. The
.rustling of my fun sent it back again to
tits owner's lap. Tae lady next me was
still very interested in the boxes.
I was secretly on tho watch now. Dur
ing the last act, tho hand came over
again It crept softly toward me with a
Cit-like motion, slipping noiselessly over
her lap to the edge of my dress. Just
as it reached mc. the curtain went down
and the lights Hashed on again.
I gathered up my purse from my lap
act. arose t) go.
The lady in Brown had also arisen
and she was moving out at the other end
ot the row.
A Medical Success.
"Mister," said the small boy to the
chemist, "give me another. bottle o them
pills you sold father day before yester
day." "Are they doing him any good? asked
the chemist, looking pleased.
"I d'no whether they're doin' father
auy good or not, but they're doin' me
good. They just fit my now air-gun!"
