The "old world fashion parade," which is being .repeated &s y the. result 'of; many requests' under .the Management: of -the' Ladies'. Auxiliary of the Navy League, will be staged to-morrow evening at the new Masonic Hall, The Terrace. Visitors will be able to see •themselves:as they might have' appeared •"ten,.'twenty,^.thirty, forty,' fifty years .a.go,; Jv';" wearing crinolines; bustle,. and pannier frocks. The display is under the direction of Mrs. Albert Eussell. The fascinating old songs and music of <the -period .will be'rendered by many well-known'artists. Graceful and stately dances will vary the programme. The wearer of the skirt'dance dress has fifty yards of silk to manipulate. A: delightful group is composed of the daintiest .little brides -imaginable, demure and shy, and a very handsome bridegroom with a delicate pink and white complexion, as though he had just stepped out of r a portrait.. The sporting people are well catered for, and everyone should see .this old-fash-ioned Suzanne Lenglcn. Attired in a wonderful outfit, she is amazingly swift, 'and handles her racquet in a most dexterous way. An additional exhibit is a doll 85 years old, born in England, and still halo and hearty. 'For young people this is an artistic 'study, both oducativo and historical. For those in the autumn of life it is, a rolling back of years. The Ladies' Auxiliary are grateful''to the girls' branch and "friends, for aetin'g.as, mannequins, and. to Mr. Trevor Fisher for arranging the music suitable to the parade. Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Hansford Johnson will, have delicious sweets'and toffees for sale. Early booking is advised, as a full house is assured. Tickets may be bought at tho 'Navy" Leaguo rooms, Lam'bton quay,members of tho Ladies' Auxiliary, and the Bristol Piano Co., where reservations can be made.
