FASHIONS AT ASOCT
HATS LIKE FLOWER-POTS. VOGUE FOR COLOURED PRINTS. MOST UNUSUAL DESIGNS. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day. 9.55 a.m.) LONDON, June 17. A correspondent. of the "Sun-Her-ald" Service says that though King Edward was not present at the Ascot meeting, the crowds were very smartly dressed. The most striking of the women's fashions was a hat a foot high and shaped like a flower-pot, with a curly brim. Others had enormous transparent brims, but bonnets were the favourite, including Flemish and Dutch baby bonnets, worn well back on the head. ' There was a tremendous vogue for print dresses. Dozens of coloured ducks flaunted themselves on one straight printed dress. Another had the owner's signature scribbled over it. A third was covered with rural sketches.
