Satins, Silks and Tweeds

The Versatility of Fashion

ELLERSLIE MODES

The second day of the Auckland Racing Club's autumn meeting was held at Ellerslie to-day when Milady appeared again in a bewildering array of new colours and styles.

Black and blue and brown, with splashes of lively colour, were everywhere in evidence, and there was a decided stressing of the vogue for velvet and chenille suits and frocks and coats. Silks interpreted the colour trend ol fashion in printed patterns, whose designs were taken from autumn’s own gay flowers, while here and there the glint of beading and metal embroidery added a spaxk of arresting newness. Tailored suits were as popular as ever, and coats were beautiful in their variety. Among those present were: Her Excellency Lady Alice Fergusson was present, wearing a dainty pleated frock of ivory georgette, with ribbon bandings under a black crepe de chine coat patterned in rose and gold.
