A Well-dressed audience of 200 women last night attended a parade of hats shown by Royal Milliner Aage Thaarup. Only a few men were present. The parade was held in David Jones' Art Gallery. Cocktails were served before it began. The only decorations were rose-colored curtains draped on the stage. Aage Thaarup does not favor any decor at his parades, as he believes attention of the audience should not be distracted from his hats He described each of his hats as it was shown by the mannequins.
