Fine Pearls of Little Price MADAME AT THE RACES

FROCKS at Ellerslie to-day happily combined comfort with the utmost chic, and emphasised the importance of graceful lines, even in the strictest tailleurs. Sports frocks cheerfully united tweeds and silken stuffs and for the most part adhered to the three-piece motive.

Time was when artificial jewellery did not enter at all into the decorative scheme of the smart ivoman. Now its artistic value is such a self-evident proposition that it is seriously rivalling its more costly relations.
