The church had been beautifully decorated by friends with hydrangeas, silver leaves, and maples. The bride wore a frock of silver lame which gained distinction from its classic simplicity of line. It was made with high, rounded neck-line, tight bodice, and long sleeves with tucking at the wrists, and the longiitting skirt was inset with a triangular panel that flared into an oval train. Her long veil of unhemmed tulle fell from a tiny tip-tilted cap, outlined with a circlet of silver leaves, a quaint touch being introduced in her little tulle eye-veil. She carried a sheaf of orchids, white begonias, and longiflorum lilies.

Their smart little hats of silver lame' were worn at an attractive angle, the narrow brims being upturned at the back and caught with small chromium bows.

WOMEN'S HEALTH j MANY DEFECTS A warning regarding the health of the women of England was given recently by Sir George Newman, Chief Medical Officer to the Ministry of Health, at a display of gymnastics and national dancing at the Albert Hall. Although women's health was good, it was not as good as it should be, said Sir George. There was an excess of sickness among insured women which was largely preventable; there was much more fatigue, weakness, and lassitude among girls and women than was their normal share; the great social disease of tuberculosis was more prevalent among young women than young men; there was too much preventable anaemia in girls and women; and it had been found by enquiry that among 12-year-old girls as many as 42 per cent, showed defects of posture and carriage, as compared with 31 per cent, in boys of the same age. There were also, he said, the risks of motherhood, which were not being reduced as they should be in the light of modern knowledge. "There is one primary and fundamental answer to these problems," declared Sir George. "It is th£t we must train and educate our children in the physical art of good living, for their problems cannot be solved without that. I do not say that English girlhood is not still the best upon earth, but I do say that there is indisputable evidence which proves that there is need for the national development of physical training, culture, and guidance for all girls of all classes in this country."

CHEVIOT WOMEN'S INSTITUTE

The monthly meeting of the Cheviot Women's Institute was held on the Mackenzie tennis courts, Cheviot, the president, Mrs E. G. Woods, presiding over a good attendance. Opportunity was taken to make presentations of two silver jam spoons, with the institute badge engraved, to Mrs M. Jackson, who is leaving the district to reside in the North Island, and to Miss A. Wilson, in honour of her approaching marriage. Correspondence was received from the link secretary, advising that the branch overseas link would be Towford Jedburgh, Scotland. This was considered of particular interest to the branch, as the township of Cheviot is situated on the banks of the Jed river. The competition for the afternoon, a posy of iJowers, was won by Mrs A. Williamson. It was decided to revive the drama circle in orfier to provide entertainments during the winter. The hostesses were Mesdames D. McLaren and R. McKnight.

EYES THAT ALLURE CARE ANI) REST A woman' may have her face lifted, she may have her hair dyed, or she may have a new set of teeth, but she cannot buy a new pair of eyes. The girl who is wise will look after her oy, There is nothing like late nights and reading in trams and trains to make the eyes red, tired, and sore. If yours are like this try a few early nights and bathing the eyes. Every night and morning place half a teaspoonful of boracic powder in a breakfast cup full of hot water and leave to dissolve and cool while you are washing your face or undressing. Then when you are ready rinse out each eye two or three times. You can use an eye-glass, which will cost about sixpence at any chemist or store. Good grooming of the eye is another I essential of charm. The eyebrows should be kept neatly trimmed and regularly brushed into a pleasing line. Every day touch them with the faintest bit of vaseline or brilliantine, or rub it on the little brush which you reserve for the purpose. Brush your lashes also, always in an upward direction. One of the most important essentials to eye beauty is an attractive expression. Faded hair can be darkened to a raven hue or bleached to a synthetic gold, the palest lips can be painted to most provocative crimson, the sagging muscles of 50 can be formed into the contour of 20. But your eyes are you, and what looks out of them is something that is forever beyond the power of dye or stick or the surgeon's knife to camouflage or rejuvenate. There are cynics who deplore the light that lies in women's eyes, but they are generally disappointed husbands, or disgruntled bachelors who fell in love with a pair of langurous dark eyes that belonged to a moonlit night in Araby, and lost all their allure over a gas stove in a threeroom flat, or childish blue eyes whose first dewy appeal seemed to change into hopeless stupidity when confronted with the problems of a family budget or a political issue. If your look is one of big-eyed innocence, don't try to be a highbrow. If nature blessed you with the eyes of a Madonna, give away your lipstick and never indulge in slang. If you want to have charming eyes, be yourself!
