MILADY AT ASCOT
HATS AND DRESSES BONNETS HofIFAVOURITES LONDON, .Tune 17. The Sun-Herald says that though the King was not present at Ascot, in every other respect it was royal and 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 wore enormous transparent 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 the owner’s signature scribbled over it. A third was covered with rural sketches.
