Above is shoun the correct habit for the woman who rides side- saddle. It is of oxford gray melton, worn with a beige vest and black hat.

In the center of the page is a yellow hand-knitted waistcoat fastened with two brown buttons, a comfortable addition to the sportswoman’s costume on cool Spring days. A soft brown felt hat with a beige and brown ribbon band is worn with it. Time and Place Rule Choice of Costume. Tunics Worn by Young Equestriennes. Yellow Is Favorite Color—Styles to Be Seen at Horse Shows. IDING clothes require more care | in their selection than any other s type of dress. They must be correct as to place and time, 80 | the horsewoman requires several | @fferent types of habit. | For riding in the park in town, on warm Spring days, the light-weight camel's-hair coat in tweed patterns is worn with tan whipcord breeches, a tan or brown felt hat, a shirt of white, blue | wr tan, and a tie of blending colors. Brown riding boots complete this cos- tume for the woman equestrienne who ‘wishes to look dapper. Many women | ‘wear vests of Tattersall check with the | erri-formal habit. If the day be cold or misty, which is typical of early S weather, s tur- tle-neck sweater in brown, yellow or blue is added. At the moment corn yel- low is a smart color for both shirts and sweaters. Sunday morning riding requires that the horsewoman be especially well dressed, and the answer to this require- ment is a black or navy coat, light tan breeches, black boots, & white stock or a white shirt and a tie, a black derby hat and gloves of knitted wool in white and yellow, or the regulation suede rid- ing gloves. * ok k% PARK riding shows a tendency toward more formal habits in dark colors.

If she rides side-saddle, and side- saddle riding is gaining in favor con- tinually, as evinced by the number of very young women who are riding in this manner, her costume is a navy blue or black coat and skirt, shiny black boots, patent ‘leather if you like them, a white ascot or stock, white or yellow gloves and a black derby or top- hat and small neat veil. * % %% Tu sort of evening habit that will be seen at the Brooklyn Horse Show is the tuxedo coat with silk facing, very mannish in cut; black military trousers and double-breasted vest of white pique. With this is worn the semi-starched shirt, the wing collar and bow tie, a silk hat, white kid gloves and pategt-leather military spring shoes. Here we see the | height of formality in riding clothes. | Rain is no handicap to the woman who follows the bridle path or the open road, if she is equipped with one of the new raincoats of imported English cashmere, cut to cover both rider and coat from flapping.

UYING a new hat usually has its | trying moments, -Selecting a new dress or suit, even if you can afford a rather good one, is usually fraught with some dis- couragement. But buying a new blouse this season is a real and unalloyed pleasure. In the first place, there is such a wide variety from which to choose, 50 many charming shades, that you are sure to find several that are becoming. Prices for even the nicer blouses are surpris- ingly low when you remember that when the blouse is bought your dress is more than half paid for. Then, too, the question of getting the right size and proportion is more easily answered with 2 blouse than a dress. If the blouse fits properly across the shoulders and bust, | adjustments are easily made at the waistline or hips, and the question of | skirt size and length is one that can be taken up by itself. If your arms are unusually long or short, you may make light of that difficulty by buying one of | the blouses with short or three-quarter length sleeves. e HE separate blouse has been wel- comed with real enthusiasm, Cheers have been loud and long on the part of | women here and abroad. The remark- able thing about this situation is that this revival has been in the air for such |a long time and has been so long in | coming to maturity. Another remark- | able thing is that so many women— | older women who had lived through another era of the separate blouse—had definitely decided not so long ago that they would never go back to the sepa- | rate blouse plus separate skirt fashion. Most emphatically they would never appear with a light blouse and a dark | skirt, ‘To b sure they might wear a light blouse with a dark suit, but as for appearing jacketless with a white or light blouse making a striking contrast to a dark skirt—never! Right now one of the smartest of all the new fashions, and one that carries the approval of Paris, consists of the white blouse with a black skirt. The idea is even carried out in one-plece dresses. [Evening dresses with black skirts and gleaming white upper por- tions are among the smartest of the ditional white linen hat with visor and narrow chin strap, and leather boots, are what the woman polo player as well as her brother dresses in for this excit- ing sport.

New Blouses Welcomed Women Find Them Alluring and Also Learn That They Represent Moderate Expense. One for Evening Proves Attractive. season’s fashions. Lanvin and others show white satin and black crepe com- bined in this way, and one of her most charming afternoon costumes consists of a light blue chiffon overblouse com- bined with a black skirt. CRCEER FOR the woman who must consider expense at every turn the blouse fashion has certain very definite advan- tages. The usefulness of a silk or wool suit is doubled and tripled by means of two or three different sorts of blouses. A single black skirt may be made the basis for two or three different sorts of costumes if two or three different blouses | pest are made to go with it. It she sews she will be able to make one or two of the simpler blouses, or an additional skirt or so at small ex- pense, without having to undertake to make an entire dress. ‘With the practical dark suit that you doubtless have already acquired you should have one more practical sort of blouse that will not have to be washed or cleaned too often. This may be of figured silk—a small light figure or dot on a background to match your suit, or a dark figure on a light background. Green, yellow and dusty pink are often combined with black for the black suit, and green, yellow, light blue or beige are good combinations for the navy blue suit. Among the most practical of the new blouses are those made of rather finely checked material —black and beige checks, or navy blue and white or beige checks—to go with the black or blue suit, These blouses are usually made with short sleeves and are an excellent choice for travel wear. - Dreamy Eyes. If you have dreamy dark eyes, re- member that a dark, soft hat that deeply overshadows them makes them look all the more dreamy and alluring. If you wish your eyes to look snapping and bright you can help the effect by the smaller, less shading hat. Fashion Cable PARIS, April 16, OUTSTAND!NO at the first Sunday meeting at Long- champs was the great amount of clear red used, not only for Jackets with black dresses and as trimming on black ensembles with red hats, but also for entire ensembles.
