Marigolds were extremely popular a few years ago in Paris as dress and coat posies. Then they were replaced by more expensive blooms. Now, once again, they are returning to favour, both in Paris, Hollywood and London. It is the film stars who are setting the fashion for belt posies of ordinary flowers in place of the more exotic orchids. Nasturtiums and red geraniums are favoured. Cornflowers, too, are being worn, and spiky stocks. Mrs S. S. Kirston. who arrived in Sydney last week, will fly with her husband in the handicap section of the centenary air race. Though not a pilot herself, Mrs Kirston has done many trips with her husband, but has nevei been up for more than three hours at a stretch, and is very thrilled at the prospect of the big trip, says the “Sydney Morning Herald.” Mr Kirston belongs to the firm of Saunders-Roe, aircraft manufacturers in the Isle of Wight and London, and for the last two years has been stationed in Auckland. When in England Mr and Mrs Kirston did a great deal of aerial photography together, mostly of private and public buildings for commercial purposes. Mrs Kirston is a keen exponent of the art. and has all her own equipment. They will probably leave Sydney at the end of the week, and will continue to London by Suez. At the completion of the trip they will settle either in Australia or New Zealand.
