Paris experts are contemplating important changes in women's hairdressing during the coming season, it is stated. They believe that women are tiring of curls, which are charming when freshly set, but make too long demands on a woman's time. As it takes at least two inches of hair to make a good curl, the question has arisen what to do with these unwanted ends. Experts have come to the conclusion that women would revel in long hair again if they only had the patience to grow it. So Parisian milliners and others are introducing the pre-war note to head-dressfng, including hair nets, tortoiseshell combs, and elab- 1 orate transformations.

Miss Hilda Longson (Temuka). who has been relieving at the Raka ii school, will be leaving shortly to take up a permanent position at Pukepoto, near Kaitaia, Norlli Auckland. Mrs D. R. Mackenzie (Invercargill) arrived in Timaru on Saturday to visit Miss W. Bell, Ashbury avenue. At a meeting of the Community Sunshine Association, held in Auckland last week, it was decided to make provision for approximately 1200 sick and delicate children to attend health camps at Motuihi between December 20 until May next year. Provision is also to be made for a number of crippled children in the in co-operation with the-Auckland Rotary Club, which has given the entire cost of maintaining two of the e.ight camps. An appeal is being made for subscriptions to cover the cost of the remaining camps. It is estimated that each child can be maintained at the camp at the cost of 8s a week, the workers and staff giving their services voluntarily. The distance that Turkey has travelled in the last 12 years is indicated by the position woman now holds there. The president of the Commercial Court of Istanbul, (.formerly Constantinople) is Beyhan Hanem, a young Turkish girl, and when a commission was appointed to enquire into a dispute between British and French syndi cates concerning concessions in the Dead Sea territory, Miss Hanem presided at the special court. Woman's emancipation in Turkey was amazing in its rapidity. In 1920 a woman there was a chattel, with no voice in her own affairs, but with the reconstitution in 1922 of the empire and the subsequent election to the Presidency of Kemal Pasha, women were given equal voice with men in thp government of the country. To-day there are more' than 40 women occupying important municipal positions in Turkey.
