FROCKS AT ELLERSLIE.

FASHIONS ON THE LAWN.

TAILORED ENSEMBLE SUITS. The weather yesterday, from a sartorial point of view, was most unsatisfactory, for the second day of the Auckland Racing Club's Summer Meeting, held at Ellerslie. An oppressive heat with an overcast sky which threatened rain made the choice of clothes a difficult problem, and as there were several showers in the middle pf the day those who wore a light-weight coat or an ensemble suit of silk, were perhaps the wisest. The frocking, therefore, inclined towards sombre tones and depended for colour effects on the gay umbrellas that defied the elements. Among those present were Mrs. H. 0. Nolan who wore a frock of navy blue crepe faille and a navy blue hat with down-turned brim.
