New Zealanders Guests of Honour I The spirit of gaiety which is part of I the Easter season in Sydney was much in evidence at Elizabeth Bay House last night, when town, country and interstate friends were the guests of Mr. George Falkiner, of Haddon Rig, Warren, states the “Sydney Morning Herald” of Thursday last. Mr. Falkiner gave the dance in honour of his sisters, Mrs. Jim Lowry and Mrs. E. M. Nelson, of Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, and their husbands. Mrs. Lowry was gowned in St. James purple cloque run with silver thread, and cut on the cross, and Mrs. Nelson pinned lily-of-the-valley on the shoulder of a grape brown mousse crepe frock, cut on severely tailored lines. Mrs. Reg Bettington (Mrs. Lowry's daughter) chose a parchment cobbled suede crepe gown, at the neck of which she clipped a. brilliant brooch. On her shoulder she wore lily-of-the-valley. The beautiful evening gowns worn by the women dancers are an Indication of the fashions which will be seen in Sydney during the next week, and a special feature was the elaborate coiffures favoured. In the majority of eases the wearing of flowers in the hair has given way to the newer arrangement of curls across the brow or piled on the head.
