FASHIONS AT EPSOM

SUITS AND ENSEMBLES GAY-COLOURED ACCESSORIES POPULARITY OF HALO HATS Gay colours were featured in the frocking at Alexandra Park on Saturday, when the Auckland Trotting Club held the first day of its autumn meeting. Although navy in suits, ensembles and frocks was outstandingly popular, the note of bright colour was provided by the hats, scarves and other accessories in which red, bright blue and green vied for predominance. It was a day for suits and light tweed ensembles, and of these there were some very smart varieties.
