WEEK-END AT THE SEASIDE

Bright Colours in Evidence (By “Mavis.”) London. February 9. The glorious spring-like weather which prevailed over the week-end has now given place to snow, Ice and winds! But many well-known and, I think, sensible people made use of the delightful week-end weather and visited the coast. 1 was one of the lucky folks and found myself enjoying the glorious sea air at Brighton. My hotel was full of interesting people. Lord and Lady Aunaly and their two young children were there enjoying the sunshine. Lord Dudley’s twin sous—affectionately known in society as the Ward Twins—were members of a gay party of young people all out to enjoy themselves. The Ward Twins are very popular young men and. unless you know them very well, it is difficult to tell them apart. 'The present fashion for bright colours was being followed by the ladies of the party, especially where morning frocks were concerned. Bright red. purple and green were three most effective shades. Miss Helen Gilliland, Mr. Carl Brisson and Mr. George Graves were among the lunch-time arrivals on Sunday. They are playing In a revival of that most delightful of musical comedies, “Tlic Merry Widow.” Miss Gilliland is one of the most charming people 1 have met. Iler little daughter, who has her mother’s blue eyes and fair hair, accompanied her, but returned to London the same evening. On Sunday the “Widow” was dressed in blue which, of course, was particularly attractive with her fair beauty —she is a true platinum blonde—but 1 thought she looked more charming when. wearing a golden brown afternoon lt had Im ecru-tiuted collar of coarse lace and large balloon sleeves of the same material. Tilly Brisson, the famous Carl’s little sister, who dances in the play, is a perfect foil for Miss Gilliland. Site is very dark and looks her best, when wearing bright colours. “The Merry Widow” is Mr. Brisson’s first attempt at management and it promises to be a great success.
