ASCOT FASHIONS
STRIKING NOVELTIES IN WOMEN’S WEAR United Press Assoclatlon—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, June 17. The “Sun-Herald” says that though the King was not present at Ascot, in every other respect the meeting was the same as usual. 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 brim. Others had enormous transparent brims, but bonnets were the hottest favourites, including Flemish and Dutch baby bonnets, worn well on the back of the head. There was a tremendous vogue for print dresses; dozens of coloured ducks flaunted themselves on one straight printed dress. Another had the owner’s signature scribbled over it. A third "was covered with rural sketches.
