EPSOM BRIDE WEARS LOVELY BRUSSELS NET AND POINT LACE VEIL

BROWN—SINCLAIR At St. Andrew's Church, Epsom, on Thursday afternoon, the marriage took place of Frances Cecilia, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Sinclair, of Epsom, and Robert Hunter, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. H, Brown, of Morningside. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. F. P. Willis, and Aliss M. Simpson presided at the organ. Given away by her father, the bride ■wore a frock of ivory georgette, the bodice, which had long tightly-fitting sleeves, being hand-embroidered, with tiny gold leaves. From the waist fell a georgette train in soft folds. Her brusscls net and point lace veil was held in place with sprays of orange blossoms, and she carried a sheaf of lilies. The matron of honour was Mrs. A. E. Ovenden, the bride’s sister, who wore a green and primrose figured georgette ensemble with a hat of deep cream ballibuntal straw. Wearing a frock of amber georgette with hat to tone, Aliss Faith Bennett attended as bridesmaid. Little Marjorie Bennett and Maureen Sexton, nieces of the bridegroom, wore Victorian frocks of floral crepe de chine, with poke bonnets and posies to tone. Air. H. Sinclair was best man, and All*. A. E. Ovenden was groomsman. A reception was later held at the home of the bride’s parents. Mrs. Sinclair received her guests gowned in a beige georgette ensemble with a moss-green ballibuntal hat. Her bou- ! quet was of autumn-tinted flowers, i Airs. H. Brown wore a navy marocain frock with hat to tone.

CLOTHES FOR THE SCHOOL GIRLS’ WARDROBE Attractive ensembles are to be found tbis autumn for tbe schoolgirl of all ages. Tbe majority comprise a stockinette frock with a tweed coat; those for real winter weather sometimes substitute a matching tweed frock for the lighter woollen garment. A design for early autumn days consisted of a lemon yellow stockinette jumper suit (jumper suits are still very much “in” where children’s fashions are concerned), and a straight grey and black tweed coat with a machine-stitched collar, the machinestitching being continued down the fronts and round the hem. Tweed is smarter than anything else, better wearing' and probably warmer, a combination wliicb takes a lot of beating. . All shades of red are in great demand, also the many varieties of light navy which have suddenly appeared on the market. For afternoon wear simple designs in line repp serge or fancy cloth are seen; for visitors’ days there are pretty frocks of crepe or marocain. PARTY FROCKS A pretty party frock was carried out in pink taffeta, fashioned with a tight bodice and a full-flared and scalloped skirt. It was covered with an overdress of spotted cream net, decorated on the corsage and at intervals round the skirt with lover’s knots of picot-edged pink ribbon. To wear with it was a velveteen cape—children’s capes should always be carried out in this fabric—made with a long scarf collar, bordered on either side

with rabbit. Reptile shoes are now as smart for children as for grown-ups. They wear so much better than any leather, and I if a little expensive at first, pay for j themselves over and over again. There are attractive sets of soft and ! fine woollen underwear, and pyjama | suits of light-weight stockinette in I pastel shades, of which pale green | and pink seem to be in the g'reatest ! demand. | Warm gloves are shown in great ! variety. The pull-on designs, lined | with fur, but without the cumber i some gauntlet which was once counted jso fashionable, looked to be more i practical than any others. i ADVISORY BOARD OF WOMEN
