NOT PERMITTED

So great has been the number of applications both from Britain and abroad from women wishing to be presented at orie of the four Jubilee royal Courts that a large number have had to be refused.

Where Court dress is concerned fashion must remain subservient to the official regulations issued by the Lord Chamberlain's De-

partment.

PLUMES AT WRONG ANGLES

On Inquiry concerning the rum- that the Court regulations were to be "tightened up" an off- clal at the Lord Chamberlain's office said yesterday: "No fresh regulations have been issued. It would be more correct to say that the existing Court regulations have emphasised, and this means that it is to be clearly understood that low evening dress is to be Worn.

"Last year several ladies worë high-necked gowns. That is why the point is being stressed.”

It had been noticeable that de-. butantes and even their chaper- ones had at recent Courts worn their Court plumes at incorrect angles, instead of having them erect.

Many dresses have rather broad gold belts studded with coloured stones or with flowers in relief. Another fashion is to wear a two-inch deep belt of bright and firmly bucked taffeta, stiff in front, on a black, white, or neutral coloured dress.

A Fresh Consignment The dear, old lady had never been abroad before. The first time she went out with a guide in Switzerland, therefore, her, ques- tions were almost continuous. For a long time the guide answered patiently, but eventually he fired.

The simplicity of the Molyneux clothes exacts from those who wear them impeccable hairdress- ing and inake-up. Accessories such

as jewellery, shoes and vanity-case must be of the utmost perfection. He supplies chiron handkerchiefs delicately embroidered to match the dresses.

SPRING TRANSFORMATION

"How shall I make my 1934 afternoon ensemble look Spring, 19357":" That's a question many women will have to ask them- selves. But there's no need to be despondent about it. How about adding a taffeta lining to your coat, and a tazeta jabot to your dress?"
