Superfluous Hair is one o£ the most distressing blemishes with which women are afflicted, and hitherto there has been no permanent cure. Electrolysis invariably leaves the face badly marked, even more disfiguring than the hair, and depilatories are worse than useless, for they only burn the hair off, and cause it to grow out doubly strong. "KULDAH" is a medical formula which has no equal for destroying the roofs of the hairs, it is quite unlike any other superfluous hair remedy, and it behoves every woman so' afflicted to give Kuldah a trial. It leaves no trace of anything having been applied, and is a marvellous cure, as thousands of satisfied users have proved; price 6s. 6d„ in plain sealed wrapper, from the following Chemists: G.

FRENCH CLUB DEBATE ON "AFTERNOON TEA." The authorities of the French Club, recognising it is tho function of the club to promote the study of French, ami especially to promote flu-nicy in modern colloquial French, have arranged to have several debates in which current questions can l>e discussed in the French language. One of these debates was held on Thursday night, the question being "The, Advisablouess of Afternoon Tea." The subject was handled with much vivacity by the ladies, the English ladies for the most part earnestly defending their much-loved institution, which was assailed by those of French nationality, and an English contingent. Madame de Cleeue s;>id that the French used to call tea Chinese wash, but now that England and France were (lilies, the French had adopted certain F/Uglish fashions, had taken to drinking tea, and even to five o'clock tea. Madame Dachanet-M'lntosh said that ov.'ing to the wife having taken afternoon tea, when the husband comes homo to dinner he finds the wife gloomy and disagreeable, with 110 appetite for dinner. So he leaves home soon after dinner to find quiet elsewhere. She thought that afternoon tea was responsible for many divorces. Mademoiselle du Boiss'on, who had introduced the proposal for abolishing afternoon tea, also spoke at the close. Referring to arguments used, and especially to the question of expense, she spoke of the discontinuance of luxuries in the Royal household at the present time, owing to the stress of war, and recommended to New Zealand housewives to consider whether their afternoon tea might not he dispensed with at the present crisis. Notwithstanding the various arguments brought forward, tho motion to abolish afternoon tea was defeated by a large majority.
