FRIDAY NIGHT IN TOWN

Tliey were discussing their plans for Friday. "There is nothing like system, my deiir, oven with one's shopping," said Mrs. Bjut. "It we plan things out, we'll be able to do all that we want to do, and have a little time for amusement as well." Sirs. ISaiT was what is known as a "managing woman." If she had been a man she might have been n great genii oral, a , "ies, dear," said her friend, Mrs. .Tohn(l son. a good-natured, easy-going matron, .. who was cheerfully content to let Mrs. Barr exorcise her qualities for lcader- ' ship. "Amusement means' Shortt's Picture Theatre, of course?" 6 "Decidedly, my dear," replied Mrs. :- Barr. "Somebody -was- telling mo the other day that'Shortt's hold the New ,s Zealand rights for-all the Essanay films. J The Essanay peoplo are running that . screamingly funny Charlie Chaplin. They '' have a good programme this week, and, , by tho way, they have a lovely picture c coming on Monday. How do your new >j glasses suit you?" ■r "Just beautifully," said Mrs. Johnson, i- "I went to Spear s. in Willis Street, as e you advised me, and lie fitted me with e bis new Toric lenses,' with rimless frames. t I think they are beautifully neat and , Bmart. And, do you know, I bought a I pair of reading glasses, too, with crescent lenses, so that I can look over for seeing i.t a distance." i- "Now you will be all right, my dear," r said Airs. Bam. "Now we - shall want to ,f go to Lees and Church, in Cuba Street, 0 for I want to see their "Ever-dainty' 0 brand of ladies' underwear., I believe they 'have a most charming range of lovely camisoles and night-dresses. They have really a wonderful assortment, and 1 every time I go there I seem to be able I to find something new and stylish in - their underclothing department. By the » way, I am thinking of having the chilf dreu photographed at the Trevor Stuj dios." "Indeed!" said Mrs. Johnston.' "Of " course, I told you about Ella. She went c to the Trevor Studios. 1. believe his 5 studies and poses are very effective, espe- - eially of children. Ella's type, you know, 3 is always rather a trial to a - photographer. "Well, .she was dc--5 lighted with this last one, parf ticularly so as she had reserved one for her soldier boy at Gallipoli. She had her hair specially, done at Mis. Stamford's." r "Yes,"-said Mrs. Barr, "I heard about ' Stamford's the other day. One of my friends went to consult her last week, i Her rooms are in Cuba Street, are they ) not? Well, she never advises dyes and 1 stains, but privately shows you the best . articles to help you. Mrs. Stamford dei votes quite a lot of time every day to children's hair, outting or cropping, and she. also gives electrical treatment to 1 ladles and children. And where shall 1 wo lunch? I think, we had better go to the. Vegetarian Cafe again, 6hall we?" "By all means," said Mrs. Johnson. "I , want to try their Granose biscuits. They ore so good, I'm told, for children, for 'it is not only a good brain food, but also 0 good food for building up their strength; And their Frucerea cereal coffee makes such a refreshing drink for our meals.. However, we can have a' gcod look round their stock after we've had our lunch. By the way, how did you get on ( with' Galvin's Hairair?" "Well, of course, I've only been using it about a week, but already I can see an improvement beginning.. Molly's hair is losing the dandruff, and there 'is quite a. different look'about it. • I should think that it would be a good thing to have in the house to use, now and then, as a hair tonic even if we had no hair troubles to worry us." "And we must , not forget," added Mrs. Banr, "to go along to tho Wairarapa Farmers', and* see about that hamper for our two boys 'at, Trentham Camp, you know. They have been getting in a splendid lot of, all sorts of delicacies for camp hampers—biscuits, all sorts of fruits. W'fien Jack went into camp last iveek he found that some kind friend had son't out a box for, him and some of his soldier friends. "All right, and as wo go along there we'll drop into the sweet shop at Ivolburn Avenue. I want to get 6oine sweets for the 'children—they are having some school friends in for the evening, and 1 like the sweets vou get from that shop at the corner of tne Avenue. We got some delightful tofTee there last week, and they have''' a nico assortment of confections. . "Another thing I must not forget, aiid, that is a pair or shoes for Molly, at J. Goer's £hop in Maioribanks Street—he has a very nice display. I see. he is advertising patent pug shoes at 15s. 6d. You get 5 per cent, cash coupons thereit really, pays to buy for cash these days, doesn't, it? < "Indeed, it does. Ned got a fine pair of boots there, last week, and he's very well pleased with tliem." "That reminds roe—we must call in at Lindberg's/ in Cuba Street." His drapery and other stock is very good, and' very - reliable. Besides, one can buy cheaply there, and that is - something to think about these days. He has some very cheap warm dress blouse piec«s from ltiJd. to Is. 3d., and if you ook at his advertisement you will see that 'he has very cheap dress lengths anil navy coating serges." ". "Yes, and noiv we had better decide about some tea. The Tyrol Rooms again," 1 think, in Manners Street?" "Yes; wo had afternoon tea there last week, and it was very nice, I did not have to go far away from my shopping. Ella and I had lunch there yesterday. We had a very nice lunch, of three courses, for a shilling, and everything was spotlessly clean, and we were not kept waiting "And after that I must coil at Cunningham's Elite .Registry Lambton Quay). ' I want to engage a. lady-help. You know, Mrs. Teniperley is most particular in 'her selection, and will only recommend the most reliable people. [ I'm told that the farmers in the country aTe always delighted with the married couples and station hands that have 'been sent them." (Published by arrangement.)
