INVERCARGILL LADIES AT COURT

BKH.DIANTX.Y GOWNED. 'At the May Court of their Majesties the King and Queen a number of Xew Zealanders wore present. Two debutantes from the South Island were the Misses Edith and Cora Feldwick, daughters of the late Colonel the lion. H. Feldwick, M.L.C., of Invercargill. Both were, of course, in the accepted regulation white, and they were presented by Mrs Lewis Harcourt, wife of the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Miss Edith Feldwick was in a pretty dress of White satin channeuso veiled with a crystal - embroidered chiffon over-tunic, back and front; this tunic was opened at the sides, the edges being linked together with bows of white satin from which fell crystal drops. The bodice was of crystal chiffon with cross folds of plain chiffon, a cluster of white'roses being tucked into the satin bolt. The ti .in of white satin, was lined witli white chiffon and was draped from both shoulders, being attached to one by silver cords with drooping tassels; it was drped with crystal chiffon. The bouquet was of white flowers —roses, carnations, and lilies of the valley. Pearls were the chosen ornaments. Miss Cora Feldwick wore a girlish bigh-waisted Quaker frock of white satin, having the apron-panel front and back of chiffon bordered witti a hand of satin and edged, with a failing fringe of crystal beads. The train of white sation suspended from both shoulders, was round in ■ shape and was outlined with silver cable cord generously knotted. Her bouquet was of blue and white flowers and her ornament was a pearl rucklet. On the occasion of the presentation of Mrs Irven W. Raymond (Invercargill) at one of the earlier Courts, her gown was of white satin, made in Empire stylo, turned back to reveal a dainty underdress of flesh-coloured chiffon, embroidered in a nr ■ and original design of dull gold. The embroideries were repeated on the corsage, which depended for its beauty on the classical simplicity of its lines. The train, of finest gold brocade, was suspended from the •shoulders.
