FASHIONS FOR NEW SEASON.
REVERSION TO OLD-TIME MODES. («tfIT£D PRESS ASSOCIATION —ST SLXOTBIC TZLEGR4PH—COPYRIGHT.) (Eeeeired September 4th, 12.10 a.tn.) LONDON, September S. Women buyers are frankly alarmed at the new season's fashions on display at Olympia to-day, which seem suddenly to have reverted to the type of a quarter of a century ago, such as the tuekedin blouse, trailing skirts, "bits and pieces" and the old-time waistline. Some of the evening frocks consist of upward of 1000 yards of tulle, composed entirely of minute frills reaching to the ankle. Obviously sueh fashions are good for trade, but whether the modern woman will consent to turn herself into an old-fashioned ballet girl in order to create industrial prosperity is questionable. One writer cynically predicts that next year a revival of the straw boater and high, starched linen collar may be expected. —Australian Press Association.
