THE FEMININE WORLD

FRUITS ADORN HEADGEAR LONDON, April 7. As women are just recovering from the excitement caused by the introduction of the new kinema gown, about which fashion experts have been raving for the past few weeks, they have chosen fruit salad trimmings for their spring millinery. All sorts of fruits have been utilised and made into posies adorn the newest headgear. Raspberries will vie with oranges, tiny grapefruit will nestle coyly in beds of leaves, and lemons, black currants, grapes and bananas will not be omitted. Intertwined with leaves, they will make milady’s headwear truly “springlike.” So well dressed were the women in Harrison Owen’s successful'play “ Doctor Pygmalion” that even the marvellously dressed women members of the audience gasped. , The occasion was the appearance of the modern damsel in a taffeta turquoise gown, practically invisible above the waist, the flesh-coloured straps holding in place a tiny bodice. Gossamer veils embroidered with false eyebrows and tinted to match the hair are the latest feminine fashion, reports the Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail. The veil covers just the upper part of the face.
