J HAY'S, LIMITED I MANNKQLIN PAKADK ! ! There are very few women who are not interested in coming fashions, and particularly at this time of year when the changing colour of the leaves betokens the coming of autumn, Ihe question of warmer frocks, smaller hats, and wrap coats demands attention. Mindful of this need of their customers, Hay's. Limited, arranged a parade of autumn and winter fashions, which was held in their upstairs showroom yesterday afternoon, and which will be repeated on Thursday. Misses Jocelyn Howarth, Given Munro. and Janet Johnson, members of the J. C. Williamson Company, were present, and watched the parade with interest, and Miss Howarth will judge the millinery in a competition arranged in connexion with the display at the parade on Thursday. The millinery shown indicates that! hat crowns will be definitely higher this year, and many crowns will have tucks or high folds for decoration. Some will be upturned at the back, and these, as well as the large tams suitable to the youthful face, will be worn tipped well forward. Some smart suits were shown —close fitting, high-necked jumpers of fine wool, with skirts of material to match for sports wear, plain tweed suits with or without belts, worn with blouses or with high-necked jumpers, and one dressier suit of brown wool cord that had a scarf tie of flame-coloured velvet, knotted in front with the short and falling outside the coat. Some neat frocks were shown, one of diagonally-striped blue and grey light weight tweed, made with butstanding pockets on the hips and trimmed with chromium buttons, and blue velvet tie and belt, was much admired. I
Plain tweed overcoats, and others, more dressy, with handsome fur collars, were worn with matching hats. Velvet afternoon frocks and a few dainty floral evening frocks were shown, and were followed by a bridal group—the bride wearing a white satin trained gown, and very long net veil hemmed and appliqued with fine lace; and the bridesmaids blue lace frocks, the deep capes and lower part of the skirts trimmed with frills of the lace, and small glengarry caps of blue lace. During the parade music was supplied by Miss Doreen Daly (piano) and Miss Norma Middleton (violin), and Master Roy Mathieson (Timaru) played cornet solos.
