Fashion At Trots

Youth In Summery Frocks

A 1 younger set provided the novelty in the « Crocking at Epsom to-day when the Otahuhu Trotting < 1 lib concluded its meeting. The hot summer day was made the most of, and muslins and organdies and voiles of every description were worn. 1 he flimsy fabrics looked cooler than silks, and were well suited to the youthful wearers. The season’s love of flowers was introduced into one hat which was painted over with clusters of roses blossoming in a bed of foliage, and with it a dainty parasol of matching design was carried.

hundreds of the cautious' Women brought light silk coats and sunshades to protect them from the sun’s glare, it was remarkable how few remembered how hot the sun can feel through organdie and georgette, and omitted even the most diminutive parasol from their dress schemes. How scorched their arms and necks will be this evening. Many lace frocks made their appearance and were most charming when worn over slip of pastel tones, with a shady picture hat.
