Dress Ornaments

The craze for dress ornaments is flourishing at present, and no garment is complete without some novel touch provided by a brooch or clip. This rage was first introduced in Paris years ago. Now Hollywood has revived the idea and it has lately found its way to Australia again, where girls are generally displaying motifs of a patriotic nature, often in the form of colour patches or badges denoting the Service in which their sweethearts or husbands are serving. Other symbols, however, are also worn, to fit the occasion, such as a miniature golf club pin for a day on the links; a horse-shoe clip to be worn with a riding shirt and so on.

Rochelle Hudson, charming young Columbia player, has one of the largest collections of pins, clips and fobs of all descriptions. These she wears on frocks, jumpers, hats, handbags, and even shoes sometimes. Her favourite ornaments are the nautical type, such as anchors, yachts, life-belts, etc. Rita Hayworth, on the other hand, prefers initialled clips as an aid to good dressing. She has her initials carved out of enamel and wood in ail sizes and colours.
