Rigorous Dress Rules Discussed as Arlington Horse Show Date Nears

Feminine Riders Study Official Requirements for Riding Appointments in Preparation for Exhibition Here Next Week.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON

The rigorous “dos” and “don’ts” of feminine riding appointments are the topic of animated conversation at the Robert H. Brown Stables as the Arlington Horse Show next Wednesday through Saturday looms ahead. Attired in cross country riding clothes, a little group known as the Monday Club gathers weekly in the lounge of the stables for hamburgers over the fire or the basket lunch brought by one of the regulars. Just now everyone's hard at work on plans for the show, popularly known as the Devon of the Middle West.

Boxes are to be built around the large ring in front of the stables and stalls will be constructed inside the indoor ring for the hundred horses coming to the show next week. The center of the show ring is to be decorated with little cedar trees, flowers and an umbrella where Miss Marjorie Bunch, clerk; Alex Metzger, announcer; T. C. Denton of Lexington, Ky., ringmaster, and Robert H. Brown, manager, will officiate. Additional boxholders include William Thom, Bloomington; J. B. O'Brien, Louisville; EE. M. Moore, South Bend; Mr. and Mrs. William H. Wemmer and Mr. and Mrs. Meier S. Block. A buffet supper for exhibitors is planned after the show Thursday night. In the group of young women who will act as ushers are the Misses Mary Grossman, Marlou Hyatt, Linda Hamilton, Ann Kennedy, Jane Norris, Ann Caldow, Joanne Rice, Evelyn Hitz, Barbara Klein and Julianne Hartley. Monday Club members, who are regular riders at the Brown stables, include Mesdames Alfred L. Piel, Herbert C. Piel, Donald N. Test, Morris Rosner, Alex Metzger, R. R. Bunch, L. V. Hamilton, J. L. Hyatt, Marie Tracy, Frank B. McKibbin, Orland A. Church, Clayton O. Mogg, Frank J. Hoke and Mrs. William E. Munk. Although the rules governing correct riding appointments are stringent, accepted practices represent the most satisfactory accouterments for the purposes for which they are intended. No shot in the dark are the “don’ts,” doubtless laid down by beetle-browed experts, which apply to all riding attire and are rigidly observed by sophisticated equestriennes. No less an authority than the American Horse Shows Association's official Horse Show Record insists that the rider's hair, whether long or short, should be neatly brushed back and made to resemble a man’s as much as possible. Bushy bobs and curls, it says, spoil any appearance on a horse, are unworkmanlike and make the best of riders look hike a beginner. (Exit femininity on horseback!)

Jewelry Is Not Permissible

No jewelry of any kind is permissible. The stock is to be fastened with a plain gold safety pin. The stick should be plain without ornamented knob or tip. The cuff of the shirt should not show bevond the coat sleeve. A spur should not be allowed to drip or sag; it should be held at right angles and the straps so fitted that it remains at the height of the seam which joins the leg of the boot to the foot. If it is not possible to obtain this by means of the strap a small spur block is preferable to a dripping spur, Generally speaking among the “dos” to be observed, whatever is proper evening attire for a gentleman should be worn by women riders in saddle classes at evening shows. A white coat is ‘permissible in summer shows. While a plain black dress suit may be worn in three-gaited classes, satin lapels are preferable and there should be satin stripes on the jodhpurs. Additional appointments include dress shirt, wing collar, black bow tie. white gioves, top hat and crop. In five-gaited classes satin lapels are outre, although satin stripes stiil appear on the Jodhpurs. A black four-in-hand tie is worn with a soft-collared white shirt. Other appointments include a bowler hat, white gloves and whip. In hunter classes, with the exception of the Corinthian, tweed coat, breeches, boots, stock and derby are correct. In ladies’ hunter classes a complete ratcatcher (informal hacking outfit) is worn in both day and night shows. Thus a derby or soft hat and a tweed or linen jacket may be worn with a side saddle skirt. The only catch is not to wear a derby and linen coat together. In Corinthian classes, to enter which riders must be members of a recognized or registered Hunt, the gentlemen present a picturesque appearance in their double-breasted scarlet hunting coats, commonly called “Shadbellies,” and silk hunting hats. Women wear dark suits with the hunt eolors on the collar, hunt buttons stocks and top hats or bowlers. Ladies’ hunting derhies have a cork or rubber pad in the top. Rigidly observed is the rule that hunt colors and buttons are never worn in a horse show unless specified. : Just in case you're going in for something simple, such as amateur or horsemanship classes, in an outdoor show it's permissible to wear ordinary riding clothes. But after all when it comes to riding attire, it's all rather extraordinary.
