Easter Monday at Happy Valley, Most Beautiful Girls of Mayfair, was a day of lost opportunities for the Coronation Pageant. Many Such a lot of marvellous dividends of us remember Margaret when her going a-begging, and that, Double! father (the late Vice-Admiral Why on earth did none of us think Stirling) was Commodore here in of Wild Cat, specially after being 1925. Margaret was then just re- warned by an unexpected success leased from the schoolroom and at the Annual Meeting. We should have known it would happen again!
Benny Proulx got back, just at The Right Time" to bring the pony of that name in for a good third, but the mall dividend he payed shewed that discriminating race-fans had not forgotten him during his absence.
Mrs. N. A C. Hardy looked ex- tremely charming in navy blue. and Mrs. Mackinchen had a very attractive outfit of blue-gray, Mrs. Collis was very trim in dark slue with a stole of golden fox slung over her shoulder. Blue was de- finitely the popular colour last Monday, and pretty little Miss Goode chose it with dainty red shoes to tone with her red hat.
There were many notable wear- ers of brown too. Mrs., F. C. Hall was very chic in a slender brown costume, with a spray of yellow flowers and a touch of green to match jade ear-rings. Mrs. M. H. Turner had a quite irresistible high hat of brown and Mrs. C. J. Shan
brown with scarf of emerald green. Mrs Abbott was very slim in a charm- ing fawn suit with a fine pin-stripe of white, and Miss Alabaster wore all-brown with delightful effect. VELVET TAM AND FÜRS
Mrs. Croucher looked delectable la dark voilet, and Mrs. W. R. Gordon had a small velvet tam and the loveliest furs. Mrs. Alec Potts was striking in royal blue and Mrs. Durran looked very tall and elegant in dark brown.
Much local interest has been aroused by the account in the news that Miss Margaret Stirling has been included in the Twenty-two
