The parade was under the direction of Mr Bernard Beeby, and Miss Jessie Dickson was instructress. Scenic effects were by Mr C. Crawford. Mr Reg. Paddy's orchestra supplied the music. During the interval a song was given by Mr David McGill and a novelty tap dancfe by Miss Margery Sisson. Luxurious fur coats and evening wraps were a distinct feature of the parade. The delicate colourings of the frocks and suits revealed when the coats were removed, by a small satin clad page, were thrown into pleasing relief against the black and silver background of the stage. Breton sailors were particularly noticeable in the millinery section, in which the pronounced forward tilt and shallow crowns of all the hats foretold of some anxious moments in store for Christchurch girls when contending with summer "nor'-westers." Handbags to go with every costume —one for dance use even fitted with two lipsticks, gloves with fascinating gauntlets, shoes showing the latest for all phases of day or evening wear, and perfect matching hosiery were all shown and described by means of a loud speaker, to the large crowd of interested specA distinctly modern note was struck by a "Wimbledon" tennis suit which opened the parade. It consisted of pleated shorts and blouse of white Bemberg silk. With this was worn a useful little swagger coat of white knitwear. A checked brown and white taffeta blouse and a much admired diagonal tweed skirt with buttoned openings at each side of the front went together. A hip-length coat of beaver dyed coney skin completed the ensemble. . , A graceful evening gown of black crinkle crepe showed a long train falling from a flat bow of black and silver. Another distingyished black frock was an afternoon model featuring the popular kilting at neck, wrist, and hem; with this was worn a smart black and white sailor hat. A day frock of diagonal angora in beige had the new three-quarter length raglan sleeve and showed a high' stitched, round neckline. , Jt Every woman loves furs and the beautiful coats, necklets, and wraps shown in the parade were a credit, not only to the firm manufacturing them, but to every citizen of Christchurch. White, for evening wear, was the note maintained, and charming indeed were the models worn. One short coat of imitation ermine, in especial, looked particularly useful as well as decorative. Another lovely coat was one of hair seal dyed to resemble mink, while a third showed the two toned collar as sponsored by the Viennese cLcsi £Tn€rs. I The display was made possible by the following firms:—Hay's, Ltd. (frocks and millinery), Pattison Ede (furs), Duckworth, Turner and Company, Ltd ("Matchless" shoes), Weston Bros. ("Westcraft" handbags), Woolston Tanneries ("Perfectan" gloves), and Prestige (hosiery). The parade will be repeated to-night. An unexpected complication arose lately at the wedding of Herr Terboven, Nazi district leader, and Fraulein Stahl, at Essen, Germany. Orders had been given that the town was to be decorated with flags in honour of the occasion. But the day was the anniversary of the Treaty of Versailles,.and all Germany was flying flags at half-mast as a sign of "mourning." A compromise saved the situation. The flags flew until noon at halfmast and for the rest of tho day at the mast head.
