EDWARDIAN FASHIONS
BOOMING IN LONDON “Latest veils in London are draped over the head, back and front, and tied with a piece of ribbon round the neck,” said Mrs G, M. Burnand of Kent, formerly Miss Molly Street, of Sydney, who was a passenger in the Orford, with her husband, on the way to visit her parents, Mr and Mrs J. W. Street, in Sydney. Mrs Burnand also said that Edwardian fashiens are still booming in London, and hats were worn forward with the hair piled up at the back. Fur is used extensively as hat trimming and ornate heavy jewellery worn with costumes. Rhubarb and cabbage leaves from the kitchen garden, rare orchids from hot-house and common garden flowers all mixed together in one bowl, was the latest idea in table decoration in London, according to Mrs Richard Dreyer, who was also on the Orford, and who will live in Sydney for two years.
