COURT DRESSES.
COLOURS MAY BE WORN. LONDON, February 24. The Queen has relaxed the tradition that Court dresses must he white. “Colours may be worn, but it is advisable to avoid bright reds and blues,” Her Majesty told officials at the British Industries Fair. The Queen said she admired the golden and silver-grey Court dresses displayed at the fair. The fashionable salons, almost without ■ exception feature white. The “Daily Mail” points out that the regulations concerning the length and cut of Court dresses will be rigidly enforced. The King and Queen have also indicated that they should be of British manufacture.
