DRESSING IN "GOING UP"

The frocks in "Going Up" are really lovely. Quite a feature is tlae gold and silver trimming oil many of the principal gowns. In the opening ehorus one has an impression of panels, buttons, and capes, while the telephone girl (Dorothy I'urdell) wears a mauve dress with a not and lace fichu. Miss Maud Beatty's first gown is of a lovely soft daffodil with a small vest of black lace and touches of black in the two large buckles and on the ends of the bretilles. A picture hat with a long feather swathed round it is worn with this. Her second gown is of blue and silver, the silver tissue draped on one side of the bodice only. In tho third act Miss Beatty wears the verv smartest sort of coat of cream silk with black trimmings, and a small toque of tho same shade with an aeroplane bow right on the top. Her last frock is of softest white satin,and net, with wide sleeves, and most '"vonderfnlly draped. Mis,s Cecil Bradlev makes her first appearance in a delightful Wrap of blue and silver brocade, edged with dark fur.. Her frock is of softest blue net, with numberless little silk frills and the popular fichu. With this is worn a picture hat of the same shade, and one just lias a glimpse of pink flowers 011 the silk underdress and on the transparent hat-brim. Her second frock is palest pink ninon, Tyitli deep silver border on the front and back panels, and narrower at the sides ; with this is worn, a quaint headdress of brilliants, which looks most fascinating over her short curls. The coat in which she appears in the third act is of green cloth, very smartly braided with white, with which she wears a small hat of white satin and a swathed veil, both l hat and veil being braided with green. Her last frock is of pale pink georgette, tucked back and front, and having graceful draperies at the sides. Miss Grade Lavers's first appearance is in a coat to make any girl covetous. It is of palest pink-watered silk lined with rose, the whole of tho back and sides forming a cape, which falls from a smartly-draped collar, the front fitting easily and fastened by one large button. With this is worn a dainty hat with a lace brim and small pink flowers. Her frock is of white net and lace over pale pink, tha skirt prettily draped and worn with a pink bolt and the sweetest little posies of pink flowers. Her second frock is of the ' softest shade of cliiflon, and has a wide border of £old and a sash of the same, forming a broad panel at the back. An underdress of gold tissue could be seen. A pretty headdress like a halo of lace and brilliants completed a most fascinating toilette. 111 the third act she wore a soft grey satin coat and hat, Jsrimmcd with a beautiful contrasting silk in rose and black. It had a very up-to-date cape effect, and was most effective. Hoi- last frock was of much-draped blue silk, with a conventional pattern in rose colour. It was caught up to show an midc-di-PF:'. of rose, and was supffst.iiv- of W."'teau, and entirely charming. Miss Madge Elliott's first frock was of emerald green net, and her "aeroplane" frock was of oyster satin, with a cap of silver and gold wings.
