The. racing- season brings a smile of satisfaction to the facee of the race-loving fashionable women, for then It la they have an opportunity to appear at their beat In Mr. Owner'a box, and each atrlvea to outdo the other. Tha few warm daya the weather man recently ush ered In have driven hundreda of fashionable people to the tracks, and the grandstands and clubhouse verandaa present an attractive picture. Fashionably dressed women, who ar lovers of Champagne Cloth With Talc Blue VelTet. Cream Etamine, Russian Drawn Work and Black Velvet. horseflesh, can be seen strolling through the pad docks admiring certain horses and incidentally "pick ing their winners." unmindful of the dust and dirt that may ruin their beautiful new gowns. To-morrow a different gown must be worn anyway, and If this one cannot be cleaned It must be laid aside or given away. Decidedly "sporty" In appearance are many of the light tan and oyster white melton coats. The reign ing style seems to be the short, loose paletots. Some of these are made of French voile and etamine, trim med In silk braid and long danglers. A rather mannish style, bordering somewhat on tho old Knglish box coat. Is occasionally neon. These are generally ornamented with stitched strappings of the cloth, with either pearl or crocheted buttons and a triple cape collar. A few of thst- coats made especially for the track have a long, narrow pocket on the left side at the bust line, which is Just the slsse of the. official score cards. Doubtless the necessity for "ready money" accounts for the general use of the large- pocketbooks or leather bags that hang suspended from heavy silver chains. Endless varieties of these are to be seen In all colors. Many hang from gold serpent chains, with serpents' heads forming the clasp, with eyes of emeralds, dia monds or rubles. Hats vary from Japanese sailors to French picture Pattern Costume of White Voile. hats. There seems to be no particular style. The" weather will hardly admit of the wearing" of fancy thin gowns, so conspicuous later In the season, but few women overlooked the opportunity afforded by recent warm afternoons. When a number of,gor genus linen gowns were displayed. Not quite so flashy, but infinitely more genteel, are : the pretty satin foulard shirt waist suits, with Jaunty hats to match. A great many of these tub suits and . taffeta suits are worn at the races, and their severe, stylish appearance makes them conspicuous. With the walking skirts dull Oxford ties and the new gray Invisible plaid stocks are much in evidence. If the fine weather continues, "Dame Fashion," in : all her modes, will be well represented at the different racing parks, for each season feminine Interest seems to Increase In this direction. FRENCH CHAPEAUX WITH ROSES IS THE VERY LATEST. Hat of Pale Bine Straw, Trimmed With Shaded Foliage. Hat of Pale Green Satin Straw, Wreathed With Wild Roses and Ribbon. Whatever -else, we are Inclined to set but light store upon, It Is assuredly not the Paris hat. There a something In the twist of a bow. In the posing of a cluster of flowers, which Is Inlnlmltahle. The mil linery of this season Is charming, for shapes are large and picturesque, mnteru als gossamer and Illusive, and flowers here, there, and everywhere, truly a case of "roses all the way." The distinction hc tween hats and toques Is once again clearly defined, discernible even to the mere man, who 1b always bothered as to which when he ventures Into the troubled waters of description. Toques are narrow and small, hats are large and shady. Hats entirely of lace are newer than the con fections of drawn chiffon, with coarse and fine straws and crln and horsehair have many demands upon them. The hat tied across the crown from hrfm to brim Is quite a marked feature of millinery novelties. It began with tho canotler-shaned tonne and drifted on till loops of ribbon span the crowns of large I fiat shapes. Ribbons, Indeed, have It all ' theirown way in hats this year In stiff set loops they form wreaths which gar land the crown. On wire foundations they form the hrim Itself, or plaited together make the entire hat. A charming example of this was a fiat shape with undulating brim of soft silk blue and mauve sash ribbon plaited together, caught up at the side with an Kmplre wreath resting on the hair underneath the brim. The spoon shaped brim projecting far over the. face In front, which Is observable on many of the large straw shapes, is, of course, a ' Hat of Taffeta, Heavily Corded Knot of Roses and Foliage at Side. variation of the Directolre, and It should be worn pointing slightly upward rather than downward, off the forehead. The black hat has sri . firmly established Itself In our favor that" no one q-utte knows how we ever did without It. It may be looked upon as a necessity, not a luxury, if we are in need of the mood for sur veying our dress expenditures from tbe poi'il economist's view.
