TALK ON LOVE.

FATHER ADVISES SON.

POINTERS ON BEAUTY.

"N.Z. WOMAN'S WEEKLY."

Included in this week's issue of the "New Zealand Woman's Weekly" is a talk by a father to his son on the subject of love. "You'll probably fall in love at flrst sight once ,or twice," save the father, "but I doubt whether you'll marry the girl. I think you'll find that love is a slower process ... Men, particularly, often have a great affection for a girl, yet felt reluctant to give up all their own interests and live in her pocket . . . He is a wise man who recognises that the love of his mother never seeks to destroy his genuine love for the woman of his choice; rather it seeks to share it."

A series of slimming exercises that could well be done on the beach —there one is dressed lightly in a bathing suit, salt water has toned up the circulation, the air is healthy, and there is plenty of sand to roll around in—will be of interest to many women. Red-lacquered fingernails are not only "out" in Hollywood, but they are definitely regarded as vulgar, except in one of two instances, writes "The Beauty Specialist" after an interview with a make-up expert in the film city. A number of exercises for beautifying the hands are given.

A preview of autumn fashions will interest readers of the magazine. The home dressmaker has the choice of six free patterns—three for holiday and week-end wear, one for the matron and two for the little miss. Directions are given for the knitting of a pullover for the schoolgirl and an attractive jumper. The recipes this week are for picnic snacks. In addition to other features are three complete stories.

An excellent new serial story, "Prodigal Nurse," by Teresa Hyde Phillips, is scheduled to commence next week, when the serial "Treason In My Breast" concludes.
