Mrs Chapman wore a trained frock of floral georgette in tones of dahlia red, green and mastic, and a shoulder spray of freesias.

Mrs Turnbull wore a black lace frock trimmed with net frills, and a coatee to match, brightened with red flowers at the waist.

Beautiful Frocks The debutantes made an attractive picture as they stood in the lounge and received the congratulations and good wishes of their friends. Miss Anderson wore a slightly trained frock of ivory moire, made with square neckline, shirred bodice, very full skirt, and puffed sleeves. Her posy of pink carnations and sweet peas, the gift of Mrs Percy Wynn-Williams and Miss Lucy Wynn-Williams, repeated the colour of the big pink silk flowers on the bodice.

In her hair she wore a jewelled chaplet, the gift of her cousin, Lady Campbell, and her shoulder spray of pink flowers was a present from Miss Lyndsey Thomson. She carried a large white ostrich feather fan. , , „ . , Miss Gorton's frock of shell pink taffeta was made with tailored revers caught with a posy of pink and blue flowers. The dainty puffed sleeves and the overpanels of the skirt were of ivory net frilled with Valenciennes lace, and the pink velvet flower in her hair matched her posy of pink flowers. , , Miss Turnbull wore a frock of parch-ment-pink moire with an oil’-the-shoulder neckline, finished with a deep plait of the material and a belt qt silver lame to match the narrow twist of lame in her hair.
