LONDON FASHIONS
GARLANDS WORN By night in London one must be garlanded, for it is still chic to be Hawaiian. Garlands are of flowers, feathers or shells, the latter mother-of-pearl shells worked into flower patterns, longer shells painted to resemble leaves. Garlands are also hung about the hair and held in place with a comb. Afternoon garlands, but so far little more than an exaggerated necklace vogue, are also "coming in.” Raven blue is replacing black for evening and day styles, suits of it being trimmed with black or grey fox and completed by the popular cyclamen blouse.
Tiny corsages go with th* full evening skirts and the bolero or shoulder tippet looks demurely sweet over these close corsages.
