Victorian Modes
At the recent racing carnival held at Ascot there was noticed an alteration in both men’s :: and -women’s fashions, which seemed to be returning mid-Victorianwards. Once again the majority of men wore bowler -hats, including Lord Harewood this time, and also stiff collars. There was hardly a soft ono to be seen. The drabness of their appearance was. however, brightened by the innumerable Old Etonian, Brigade of Guards, 1.Z., Rifle Brigado, M.C.Gv', and ' other still gaudier ties. Most of the older women were wearing black or navy blue stra# hats with stiff medium.sized rims,' over tweeds or belted fur coats, which gave rather a lumpy appearance, yThe younger women wore cloth coats and fox furs over remarkably- short skirts.
