"They won't go ten minutes away from Queen atreet," she said. "They want to be in thp-heart or the city, close to the picture shows. They seem afraid that they will be lost in their own country if they pet past Karangahape road. I am speaking of New Zealand girls and women, and I am sorry to say that their courage and readiness to work do not compare with the women who are arriving here from England. These women want work, and they will go anywhere. They are brave enough to come over 12,000 miles of sea among strangers in a strange land, and when they arrive here they are brave enough to go after the job, wherever it is. And I may tell you that all I hav® obtained positions for have filled those nositions creditably and well. anH I have heard nothing but praise for them."

All thesfe permit the eayy pulliiig oi threads.. Plain ratine," which makes Excellent tennis dresses, lends itself to Iprge designs of drawn-thread embroidery and looks exceedingly effective, v •: With a simple White dress is worn an oriiansentil Waiatettat blouse i—embroidered in bright" wools and silks. As these little garments are simply straight pieces o( material and Have no sleeves, tho tennis--£irl- can • make_ herself a number which will provide variety when worn' over inexpensive washing frocks , Indian printed crepes are ideal fabrics for the jaoquette blouses which the-stnart sports ; girt wears alternately with a cardigan of wool or eilk.
