"GOOD MORNING, BILL."

SOME OF THE FROCKS. In the very amusing comedy of P. G.' Wodehouse, " Good Morning, Bill," presented for the first timo in Auckland by the Little Theatre Society" last evening, some very attractive frocks—and pyjamas —were worn. The stage settings were colourful and -the spring flowers, which were so plentifully arranged in the rooms of the hotel in Sussex in which the opening act took place, were very charming. Even more lovely were the bouquets and baskets of flowers which were presented to the ladies of the cast at the end of the evening by members of the audience. Miss Rita Cornaga, as Lottie, a sophisticated young person, on her first appearance was discovered in a cocktail pyjama suit of palest green crepe de chine, with insets of lace as a border to the long coat. This was exchanged for a frock of. shrimp pink georgette, close-fitting with a draped bodice, pointed hip yoke and very full flares, almost touching the floor. Very attractive also was tjie ensemble suit of putty-coloured cloth, the dress closefitting, and showing the skirt pleated at the sides and the back. A wide, shady hat of the same coloured felt was also worn. Another frock worn by Miss Cornaga was of whito crepe do chine, with a pleated - skirt falling from a hip yoke, a belt with long willow green ends defining the natural and a scarf also with green ends falling across the shoulders. Miss Althea Parker, who took the part of Sallie Smith, the eminently practical and modern girl doctor, first appeared in a mixed tweed skirt, worn with a blue suede short jacket piped with the tweed and a blue felt hat turned sharply off the. face into a peak at one side. Later on a very becoming cherry red silk frock was worn, with whito turned back collar outlining the neckline. From the tucked hip yoke the skirt ended in pleats, the natural waist finished with a narrow belt and ornament. A bright poppy , red figured silk kimono, patterned in an Oriental design, was worn in tho night scene at the country house in Hampshire. Miss Dawn Collier, as Marie, the little Cockney maid, wore a trim little lavender frock with her very businesslike cap and apron.
