FASHIUXS AT COBBE'S MODELS IX DETAIL Beautiful frocks and millinery, dainty mannequins, a carpeted stage set the length of the showroom, draped at the entrance with black velvet curtains and held at each side by a huge rose, sort music and lighting effects, turd an announcer giving tlu dt tails as each mannequin paraded—these were tjie features of the fashion parade at Cobbi’s yesterday afternoon and again this afternoon and evening. Different styles \\ ere shown at. each session. Cobbe’s realise that tlie most modern fashions must be presented in the most modern way. and that the old lasliioned method of counter silling is fast disappearing, so to keep abreast with the modern trend the store displayed their seasonable goods by showing them as they are actually worn and the large crowd present at each session, gave one an idea of the interest taken in the new styles. A few of these were as follows; A beautiful blue and white crepe Me How glow frock which featured the fully puffed seevi-s in organdi and was worn with a white picture hat. A distinctive model in blue floral crepe Henrietta featured the new skill, and seini-eowi collar, falling into epaulettes and Bell sleeve.s.
