STRAWS IN FASHION’S BREEZE
Spanish pride is expressed in a red velour sombrero, with dashing lines. A contrast is the Victorian atmosphere of a draped toque in Russian lilac, with a scarf tied in to a bow at the back. For race wear the latest Parisian eye-veils have prancing horses worked into a pattern. A dinner dress of crystal velvet with full rucked sleeves, and soft flowers at the deep narrow neckline, is designed for the woman of fifty, who can wear light shades.
Feathered hats, the feathers forming a band on a toque, a mount on a sports hat, and a quilt on a country hat, are cited as ideal for the matron. The Grecian influence is still discernible in some of the most distinguished evening frocks. The statuesque moulding of a navy blue corded crepe frock is given a touch of Oriental splendour by gold braid outlining the bodice, hem and skirt folds.
Deep folds of white Jersey are employed to give the sculptured line to an evening frock with long draped sleeves.
Navy and white pin check is made gay with the addition o’ a scarf in yellow, blue and red. Schiaparelli is responsible for the colour combination.
