ASCOT FASHIONS

LARGE HATS—PRINT DRESSES. [BY CABLE PRESS ASSN. COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. June 18, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 17. The “Sun-Herald” says: Though the King is not present, Ascot in every other respect is royal, and the crowds are very smartly dressed. The most striking of the women’s fashions was a hat a foot high, shaped like a Hower pot, with a curly brim. Others had enormous transparent brims, but bonnets were the hottest favourites, including Flemish and Dutch baby bonnets, worn well back on the head. There is a tremendous vogue for print dresses. Dozens ol coloured ducks flaunted themselves on one straight printed dress. Another had the owner’s signature scribbled over it. A third was covered with rural sketches. HUNT CUP. LONDON. June 17.
