SYDNEY FASHIONS.
ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. When a fashion-wise traveller returned to New Zealand from Sydney last week she gave several interesting items of what that city is wearing and how it is likely to affect us. Sleeves, says this guide, are enormous, and flowers, artificial, appear on every suit lapel, and festooned across the fronts' of all the afternoon frocks. An echo of the Duchess of Kent’s trousseau is seen in the masses of plain,' high-necked black dresses about the place, worn with a double of triple string pearls . . . and no other adornment. Swagger coats are still the popular choice, and lots of tailored suits or light linens or silks. And one of the most noticeable things was the perfect hairdressing of every woman she encountered; whatever else the Sydney woman neglects, it is not, her coiffure.
