SPLENDID WEDDING FRÖCK.

As one enters, the eve is immediately held i by a wondrous wedding robe by Worth, carried out in white satin beaute and with a long train fine net. edged with a deep pattern of silver lace. Worth iso shows a number of afternoon models which are i truly interesting on account of the unusual material and the yaaint details he has introduced into each. To every case, hat, gloves and footwear natch in colour, when not also in material, the dress they acrom- pany. One of these is in moonlight blue erepe marocain trimmed with square motifs oferocodile skin dyed the same shade of blue to match, there are higa Russian boots decorated in the same original manner. Another, three piece costume in amethyst cloth is trimmed with a band about seven- inches deep of snakeskin, round the hem of the flared jacket, and the skirt, a velvet Russian-shaped toque in the same shade shows a sakkeskin, ornament caught at an angle through the front.

ROSEWOOD MODELS.

Jenny has the most charming ́array of afternoon and evening models in her display. in many of which she has carried on the popular note of rosewood. In nearly every case, she has combined this shade with some other colour, particularly almond green or white, and the effect is most bewitching. Axewnote which Jenny has been far ring for some time past la the high collar, and this is demonstrated in the most attractive of ways in nearly all ber models here. Decorative jubat-, frills and tiny buttons are among the methods she re. sorts to carry out heriden of high necks with the greatest amount of effect and elegance: A delightfally cool and youthful looking frock in rosewood crepe Georgette is shown with a short ermine coat piped nt intervals of about two inches with narrow stripes of rosewood satin. Jenny also carries out her charming idea of piping in an ermine oven- ing up which she has piped with gold brail and lined with a "wonderful gold Inmu. For her evening models, Jenny" seems to favour straight lines, to sleeves and heavy coloured metal beading.
