Miss Violet Trevenyon, who shows a fastidious taste in costuming, is much admired by Opera House patrons this week in an old rose crepe de chine confection, the skirt being accordeon pleated and the long tunic coat and cuffs being bordered with a wide hem of ermine, set off with an ermine hat. Her second frock is a dainty pink ninon with a pelerine of shimmery bronze satin touched with posies of pale pink and blue roses, and finished with sash ends of blue. Her hat is carried out in the same tones.

Reginald Newberry, the boy tenor who toured New Zealand and Australia on the Fuller circuit, is resting his voice in Sydney at present.

She liked his musical intelligence, and hoped “that when the time comes for his voice to break, that every possible care be taken to give it a chance to mature into a good manly one.”
