If it is true that coming events cast their shadows before, the debutante of the year 2000 will be almost as heavily clad an her ancestors of the 'eighties. A wonderful "Dream of Fair Women" ball was held at Glaridge's Hotel, London, recently, at which a marvellous procession of "Fashions of the Future" took place, the wearers of the gorgeous clothes being leading society people. The Hon. Mrs Rupert Beckett organised the ball, which was one of the most brill hit functions of the London season. The debutante of the year 2000 was shown by Miss Baba Beaton to be a gorgeously apparelled lady, sheathed from headl to foot, with lines following the figure closely, a high medici collar reaching almost to the top of her plumed coiffure, long tulle veil, a fan finished by "curtains" of soft tulle, and a train that was cleft in two to collapse in graceful folds around daintily slippered feet. Many expensive glittering gowns were worn at this fashion show, society's latest fad obviously being ostentatious show careless of expense.
