ON THE LAWN. Another gorgeous day favoured the races at Riccartou to day. The lawns and gardens looked their brightest and nest. Many beautiful dresses were shown to great advantage in the bright and warm sunshine. The choke of sleeves used in the frocks was decidedly oewildering. The wide-mouthed shape was much in evidence, sometimes plain, somtimes with a contrasting material, trimmed with embroidery, or heavil/ noaded. Then the quite short shape has ag tin entered tlie arena of dress, and in many cases there was a lack of sleeve altogether. But either style is undeniably pretty on a youthful rounded arm. Draped sleeves of georgette or ninon concealed the deficiencies of more elderly arms, hut. to dav the youthful rejoiced in the sleeveless gown. Never "f*re bee >mmg styles ?«. diversified. Most- of the racegoevs to-day fell victims to the charms of one-piece c hemise frocks. In spite* of the* tendency towards longer skirts, those worn were rule for today was “simple be your
