FOR THE BALLROOM.

WREATHS OF REAL FLOWERS. 1 _____ Chaplets of real flowers are now very fashionable and at mid-day every Saturday in Melbourne, and at the florist’s shop young girls call for flower chaplets ordered earlier in the morning for one of the many parties and festivities that always take place on a Saturday night, writes a visitor to that city. One girl had ordered a hair of vivid pink sweet peas; another of roses and cornflowers—there are cornflowers about even at this time of the year; another had ordered a wreath of white sweet peas, to wear, she explained, with a white frock. She was dark, with vivid colouring, and. her all-white outfit would bo most attractive. Still another had ordered a mixed flower wreath. Another charming hair wreath was made of violets with an edging of strawberry loaves, while strawberry leaves and pink and white sweet peas wore used with charming effect on another. The wreath is worn fairly far back on the head, and the ends are either tucked into the bun at the back if the hair is long, or tied with narrow ribbon to match the frock if the hair is short. Some wreaths completely encircle the head.
