The Misses Helen and Alice Gunn returned to the Dominion this week from a visit to Great Britain, the Continent, and America, and alter spending a, few davs with Miss Brien, Tiuukori Road, they left on Wednesday lor Christchurch.

It is interesting to find that there are other standards of beauty besides that which is generally recognised in our part of the world, states a wi iter in an exchange. There arc in the United States beauty parlours which cater exclusively for the coloured woman. While the white Woman to-day takes her shingled head to the marcel or the permanent waver, her dusky sister takes her curly one to the specialist who deals in “anti-kiuk.” Tile storv goes that the secret of removing the kink from a negro head was discovered by a coloured woman who went out washing at a dollar a dav. She began in quite a humble establishment, not attempting at first to vie with the more pretentious beauty shop which is found everywhere in America. One day a very line car stopped outside one of the fashionable salons of this kind, and an elegantlydressed negro woiniin stepped Out. She asked for an interview with the proprietress, and then requested as a favour that she should be hold how such an establishment Was conducted. She wanted to have her “anti-kink” pnrions run on similar lines. The request was granted, and the whole organisation explained. Very soon those “coloured” beauty shops were as fashionable as the white ones, and that washerwoman's daughter to-day is an heiress. So while the negress continues to remove her frizz the white one does her best to encourage the kink which Nature has denied her.

An evening wedding was celebrated in St. John’s Cathedral, Napier, on ’fttesdav, when Miss Phyllis Mary Hope flindmarsh, daughter of Mrs. Hindnmrsli, of Napier, and the late Mr. John Hindtnarsh, who Was married to Mr. George William Hunt, son of Air. and Mrs. W.

St. John Ilin'dntiirsh, wore a frock of shell pink chenille over accordeoil-plcated georgette, with a train of old Brussels lace that had belonged to her grandmother, lined with shell pink georgette. A silver bandeau and orange blossoms held the veil in place, and she carried a shower bouquet. The bridesmaids were Miss Janet Bower Knigl.it, of Dannevirke (chief!. Miss Shirley Dods, of. Wairoa, and Miss Barbara Cox, of Napier, the latter two being nieces of the bride. Mr. John Humphrey Hindmnrsh Was best man, and Mr. Douglas Kennedy groomsman.

We are told in. the English newspapers that Dr. L. Haden Guest, M.P., has announced himself as being in favour of admitting women to the membership and fellowship Of the Roval College of Surgeons. In the ordinary course of events it is difficult to imagine there could be anv two opinions about such a matter provided all the necessary qualifications are there. Dr. Guest states that: “The question of admitting women surgeons to equal rights with men in the Roval College of Surgeons is to my mind beyond dispute, and I think that had the membership of the college been extended to include M.R.C.S. men, the admission of women on the same basis would have followed naturallv—and Will do sO eventually. At the moment the whole thing is an anachronism.” The decision to do this was reached at the annual meeting of the Roval College of Surgeons, , and this, together with a resolution proposed bv Dr. Haden Guest, that all members should have representation on the Council, will be embodied in a supplementary charter to be presented to the Priw Council. Sir Bruce Bruce-Porter expresses himself in favour thus: “It goes without saving women surgeons should have equal rights. They pass the examinations, and in view of that anv distinction between them and the male members is unthinkable.”
