ONLY “KLEXEMA” SPECIALISTS GIVE “KLEXEMA” TREATMENT. “Klexema” cannot be purchased from the chemist as you would purchase a tin of ointment or a cake of skin soap. It is something vastly different. It is the name of a unique and scientific skin treatment controlled by specialists who undergo a special course of instruction before being appointed. Each case is treated according to the individual diagnosis. The system is first toned up and cleared of impurities; then the affected parts are treated with outward application by special “Klexema” remedies. This is the scientific method, and the only one by which success can be attained. Sufferers from Eczema, Psoriasis, and any of the various forms of skin disease, can place implicit faith in the “Klexema” treatment. It has been successful where all other methods have failed. Consultations free. Hours 10 to 12; Ito 4; 6.30 to 7.30. ’Phone 2271. The Klexema Rooms, 185 The Terrace, Wellington, and at Christchurch and Dunedin. —Advt. KEEP CHILDREN FIT.

FROCKS AT TRENTHAM RACES COLOURS AND MODES A slight breeze tempered the heat at Trentham on Saturday, but still it was very hot there. There was a large attendance of racegoers, and the stands and lawns made a «;ay appearance, brightened as they were with summer frocks and hats in all kinds of colourings. Women in Wellington have been slower to make use of Japanese parasols than they have been in several other of cur towns, but on Saturday there were several to be seen. The effect was chaining, and equally gay were parasols in coloured floral silk. They were undoubtedly quite a feature at this gathering. Equally certain was it that they were very necessary, especially for those who occupied seats on the members' stand, as there was no protection overhead from the warmth of the sun With the greatly increased accommodation that has now been provided, people are finding that it is not the easy thing it once was to pick each other up at the iacecourse unless they make a definite spot the place of their assignment. ■ Black frocks were again very popular wear, and there was also worn a great deal of black and white, white, and white embroidered in colours.
