FASHIONS AT ASCOT
A STRIKING ARRAY HAT A FOOT HIGH LONDON, June 17. The Sun-Herald Agency says that, though the King was not present at Ascot, in every other respect it was royal, and the crowds were very smartly dressed. The most striking of the women’s fashions was a hat a foot high, shaped like a flower pot, with a curly hrim. Others had enormous transparent brims, but bonnets were the hottest favourites, including Flemish and Dutch baby bonnets, worn well hack on the head. There was a tremendous vogue far print dresses; dozens of coloured ducks flaunted themselves on one straight printed dress. Another had its owner’s signature scribbled over it, and a third was covered with rural sketches.
