Hbeth's

PRINCESS MARGARET has always shown a far keener interest in fashion than her sister, but as an elegant, well-dressed woman Elizabeth is leaving Margaret far behind.

PRINCESS ELIZABETH is choosing simple, more tailored clothes-fashionable without being extreme. And she chooses less fussy, wearable styles which look smart but are easy to wear.

Princess Margaret seems to be following the Queen's taste. Where Margaret chooses a stiff patterned material with lots of trimming, Eliza- beth favours soft,

flattering fabrics.

A Chilean visitor had chosen a red, and whlie chremble: white straw hat, white wool jacket and red linen dress. Her only jewellery consistect of two large pearl earrings. (Illustrated centre). Unconsciously, she mummed up for us in one sentence what it was that had made her stand out in the crowd: "We follow the French style of dress in Chile."

But perhaps we are being too critical of the English women. So we show here the type of outfit that they delight in wearing on these Occasions: a light organdic dress. This one is checked in blue and green and has a little while callar. So often these dresses are spoilt because their wearers insist on crowning them with large picture hats. This girl, however, wore something quite new and original. She had a chignon, and realised the dimculty of finding a hat to wear with it, so she forgot about the hat, and used simply veiling and flowers. A whisp of green veiling is held in place by

by a spray of lilies of the valley. (Ilhistration lett).

From the Henley fashions, we selected the following details to pass on to you because they seem both attractive and practical: white, star- shaped earrings made of straw to match the hat; a black velvet hat edged with four tassels matching a black velvet cont; suit lapels faced with material to match the blouse,
