The prize f,or highest score, a beautiful gold cup and saucer, was annexed by Mrs. F. Reynolds, whilst the consolation trophy fell to Mrs. Simmons. DAINTY FROCKS Undoubtedly the most chic frock of the “Luv” production was the oldfashioned crinoline worn by Mrs. Burnet, whose dainty girlish beauty was strikingly set off by the charming garment. Tile “party” dresses were also much admired, as was the up-to-the-minute creation worn by Miss 1927. In fact, the whole of the costumes of the performers were in excellent taste and reflected great credit on the creative ability of Mrs. Halliday, the wardrobe mistress, who was wholly responsible.
