FRIDAY NIGHT IN TOWN

, "What an amazing craze Charlie Chaplin is with the public," said Mrs. Burr, as she settled herself lor her weekly discussion on Friday's shopping plans with her friend Mrs. Johnson. "It's because tho world likes a laugh," said Mrs. Jchnsou; "and what's more, is willing to pay for it. Wo will see him to-night with G. M. Anderson in 'His Regeneration,' at Shortt's Theatre, along with tho 'Bully Boy's Cartoons' and tho splendid Essanay drama,, 'The 'Third Hand High,' and next week we must see that fine drama, 'The liallet Girl's Vindication.' "

"ily friend Mrs. Meadows was telling me the other day that she coaldn't enjoy the pictures, because her sight was so poor, and 1 advised her to try Spear's, the optician, in Willis Street. Sou know he doesn't uso the old-fashioned reading card test, but examines the sight with scientific instruments, which tell him exactly what perspective is required." "And was s - he suited'" "Very nicely indoed. The world looks quite different to her." Mi's. Johnson rose and. went to the window. "Isn't the garden beginning to look pretty?" she said. "It's the beautiful weather we've been having," said Mrs. Barr. "Which reminds me that we must go along to Lees and Church, in Cuba Street, and seo their new hats. I, hear that they're very smart, and in the very newest shapes. "And I must inspect their new blouses, in voile, 'l'hey are a splendid selection I'm told. Talking of these warm days we've been having makes mo long for a vegetarian lunch. What do you say to having lunch with me at the Vegetarian Cafe to-day?" "A most excellent idea," said Mrs. Barr. "We'll have one of their famous threecourso dinners. What a;wonderful variety it,is that they offer you, too! For myself, I usually like to take the_ course they advise, as it offers a good digestive combination. By the way, 1 see you have been getting your hair done for yourStamford's, in Cuba Street?" "Yes. Do you like it this way?" "Very becoming, my dear. I've been 'hearing quite a. lot about their hair work, which is said to be very reliable. People send parcels of combings to them from all pavts of the Dominion, and ladies' transformations made by them are really impossible to detect—quite natural looking; And their art millinery is most effective. That jreminds me, I got a letter from my pister in Wanganui, and she was telling me how pleased she was with Galvin's Hairaid." "I thought she wouild be. Do you know, I really am a great believer in a good hair tonic. I think that people do not attach sufficient importance to the care of their hair. Look at the trouble people will go to over their teeth, and how much they neglect the hair. It vis wonderful what a little regular attention will do. By the way; I want you to lunch with me at the Tyrol' Rooms, in Manners Street, on Monday." "How delightful! We've had tea there together quite a number of times, and 1 will look'forward to having lunch with youi, my dear. It's such a nice place, too, isn't it?" "Very. The service is 'very, good and clean, and the cooking is excellent. We will have a three-course lunch—it is only a shilling—and I'm quite sure I shall enjoy it. Goodness! I must cash theso discount tickets at the Wairarapa Farmers, on the Quay. Don't they mount up soon!" "Five per cent, is good discount," said Mrs. Johnson. "My big fffmily uses up a big order every week from the Wairarapa Farmers, and my discount tickets run up to £2 in no time. It's very nice to feel that by paying cash you can get 2s. back every time you spend up to i 2. I often wonder why more people do not go in for cash buying instead of running np bills. Another tning, 1. want to go along to Goer's boot shop in Majoribanks Street. I saw such a nice pair of lady's shoes there yesterday, marked 9s. 6d." "They've had a great sale there, and it's still going on. They've got such a lot of styles to choose from." "I ui'utlu'r a very nice pair for her birthday, and Tom is highly pleased with the new boots I bought for him when he went into camp." , "Has he had his photograph taken yet?" .. "Oh, yes. He and some-others of his company went to tho Trevor Studio." "A lot of soldiers go there, judging by their framed exhibits. You know _ there is a big difference between a photograph which aims at making the most of your good looks, and a photograph thatcatches your natjiTal expression—your personality —and that is where I think the Trevor Studio is so successful,—(Published by arrangement.)
