ASCOT FROCKS.
VOGUE FOR PRINTS. (Received 10 a.m.) LOXDOX, June 17. The Sun-Herald says that though'the King was not present, Ascot was in every other respect Royal. Crowds were very smartly dressed. The most striking of women's fashions was a hat a foot high shaped like a flower pot, with a curly brim. Others had enormous transparent brims, but bonnets were the greatest favourites, including Flemish, Dutch and 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, and another had the owner's signature scribbled over it, while a third was covered with rural sketches.
