DRESSES AT GOODWOOD,
COLOUR “AND VÄRIETY,
There is a tradition in the world of dresa that Goodwood is essentially a coat and skirt meeting: Like the tradition that the sama hat or frock cannot do duty twice during, Ascot it is constantly Not that there being proved erroneous were not many coat and skirt costumes at Goodwood this year: indeed, they com prised some of the smartest and neater garments there; but they did not pre- dominsta.

The brought out so diverse a display of materials as almost to make the occasion seem a miniature, although a different, Ascot
The difference consisted in the manner in which these materials were treated. On the whole, the favourite fabrio was crepe de Chine. Many of the crêpe de Chine gowns were in black and navy blue, very simply made, with white as a touch of relief. Others had no trimming at all. An attractive black crepe de Chine gown had a little bolero coat embroidered at the base with an oriental design of white stitching, with similarly embroidered long panels hanging from the waist. A car beau blue gown of this material had flouted panels back and front piped with white satin, and was worn with a black hat trimmed with snow-white leaves and black cherries. Another black crêpe de Chine gown had a branching design of combed white wool; yet another VIN relieved with touches of old gold in the lining of the aleeves and a girdle of large black wooden beads interspersed with gold beads. The skirt of the gown was border- ed within black fringe about five inches wide, and the overdress was folded like An envelope behind. A wood brown crêpe de Chine gown had fint super pom- flounces to the waist, cut in almost circular form. the unrelieved simplicity of the gown accentuating the origicality of the treatment
Next to crêpe de Chine, foulard was the material most commonly seen. This, again, was chiefly in black and white and blue and white, and, unlike the style in foulard gowns earlier in the season, was not combined with any other materials A smart navy and white foulard was but toned up to the chin, the pattern describ ing a series of scallops. The skirt wILS similarly treated to continue the pattern. With it was worn a quite simple yellow felt hat one of the many felt bats in the paddock which, in addition to the tailor- made suits, helped to give a workmanlike There were also appearance to the scene.
many feathered hats, and hats with lace and fowers, but headgear was mostly very simple. Felt and ribbon hats were mostly worn, and even some of the crino line shapes were simply encircled with wide velvet ar silk ribbon.
WRAPS AND COAT-JROCES.
The warin weather rendered cloaks un- necessary, but among the comparatively few wraps were a moleskin cape with a collar of long-haired furs a brown satin coat trimmed with Kolinsky and embroi- dered in brown and russet wool with a rusat-coloured lining; and a

with a large quilted collar. Along circular cape of accordion pleased black velvet and a hood-shaped collar was also noticeable. Flamingo pink sponge-cloth was the material of one of the wraps, and there were also few furstoles. Noth- looked better than coat frocks of fine white serge and cloth or of gabardine and other similar materials. One navy blue gabardine frock was fastened high up to the throat with blue and gold buttons and was trimmed with close set row black silk braid down one side; the rows of braid, passed over the left shoulder like, a wide brace, were caught under a deep braid belt, and then fell in long ends to the hem of the skirt..
A suit of very fine beige cloth had a loose cont drawn in with a plaited cloth belt and was bordered with a scalloped shell-shaped trimming of brige cloth, the cost standing well out from the narrow skirt. A white cloth coat frock had a collar of picot-edged georgette in a pale buff shade, the scheme being completed by a petunia canvas straw hat draped with navy blue lace. A navy gabardine frock had embroidered lattice-work panels of white braid and a roll collar also em- broidered with braid. A most successful garment was a white thin cloth coat frock with navy blue bell-sleeves embroidered in long lines of white stitching and work- ed at the neck in the same manner. An- other smart navy gabardine coat frock was tied at the throat and sleeves with black sorcenet ribbon, with an outlining of grapes and cherries worked in small green and red beads.
There were many gowns in striking Oriental materials and colourings, and most the medley of bright shades was picturesque. There was also a certain number of gowns in silk jersey and fricot, notably one of the former in midnight blue with a painted design of fern leaves, picked out in silver thread.
