(From Our Correspondent.) London. A trim two-piece, consisting of a simple frock and short coat in rose-pink tussore, worn with a matching felt hat; at the high neck-line of the frock was a spotted silk bow in tones of (lark red and green. Powder-blue cloth coat and skirt, the short coat, which was collarless, fastening to the neck with silver buttons. . A black marocain coat, collared with lynx, worn over a blue-and-white patterned crepe-de-chene frock, and having pockets of the crepe-de-chene on the inside; the coat was unlined, so that the pockets showed oddly against the black marocain when you opened the coat. Brown-and-white chiffon frock, striped like a peppermint, with a shaped coatee dipping at the back, worn with a long brown coat and a close-fitting brown'felt hat, with a brown feather brush on one side of the face and an orange feather brush on the other.

Black and white crepe-de-chene frock with a coatee and a skirt cut in four rather

narrow tiers worn with a swathed turban of the same material.

Evening frock of coral pink taffeta with diamante embroidery at the shaped waistline and on a narrow scarf of the material which crossed the low decolletage; there were elaborate bustle draperies at the back.

Geranium pink cloth two-piece with a high collar of marten to the long coat. A jewelled gold belt of mediaeval inspiration clasping the slim waist of a black net evening frock; a crepe-de-chene scarf echoed the colours of the “jewels.” A long, transparent black chiffon coat embroidered in gold and with coloured stones worn over a draped black frock with touches of the same embroidery. Summer ermine wrape shaped in deep points and bordered with stripes; a threetiered collar fastened with “ribbons” of the fur. Scalloped, white-bordered scarlet cloth cape worn with a tucked white blouse and pleated cape of the scarlet cloth.
