DRESSING AT ASCOT.
ORIGINALITY IN FASHIONS.
LONDON, June 17. The “Sun-Herald” News agency says that though the King was not present Ascot was in every other respect royal. 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. Other hats had .enormous brims, but bonnets were the hottest favourites including Flemish and Dutch baby bonnets worn well back on the head. There was a tremendous vogue . for print dresses. Dozens of coloured ducks flaunted . themselves on one straight printed dress. Another had its owner’s signature scribbled over it. A third was covered with rural sketches.
