Miss Maud Royden said to a representative of a paper that she was amazed at the sense of public responsibility which the average Australian woman had. This she attributed to her early enfranchisement. She is the more amazed at this sense of public service, because she feels that the Australian woman is overburdened with domestic work, and notices thi§ in sharp contrast to that of the American homes which she had just left, where women do the work by the turning of a switch. She was particularly enthusiastic about their central heating system and the use of the inter-room telephone in the home. This had been reduced to a fine art. “If you wanted to speak to a maid in the kitchen, you simply lifted the receiver from the hook and pressed the button. There was no unnecessary running backwards and forwards along long passages.” x KNOW YOUR TYPE. Few women know the type to which they belong—how to choqse clothes in harmony with that type. My new plan shows you not only how to choose, but to design and make frocks to your own Individual style. Write for free booklet'to Miss Gra-’t Gale, International Correspondence Schools, Dept.

After a reception at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ball left on their honeymoon in the south, the bride travelling in a French frock of grey and pink, with hat to tone. For the woman of generous figure carefully thought out and well-cut garments are necessary. Patterned fabrics can be worn equally well as plain fabrics, provided, of course, that the line and model chosen are suitable. There is an art in designing frocks for the large woman. Agnes Samson (Customhouse Quay) has a collection of outsize dresses with good slimming lines. A printed crepe-de-Chine of small blue flowers on a beige ground has a becoming droop at each L slde of the skirt and narrow ties at the neck-line. Triple ninon in shades of blue and Indian red on white makes an attractive frock crossing over to one side and with 1 a vest and lines of blue and black on sleeves and hem-line. A flat crepe dress in red plaid is trimmed with a pleated scarf of georgette which also makes the deep tight cuffs to the sleeves. —Advt.

New Year’s Eve at the Adelphi Cabaret is something of an institution, and indeed it would be difficult to imagine a more pleasant way of spending this evening. Special features have been arranged at the Adelphi for the coming New Year’s Eve ball, which is expected to outrival in brilliance its predecessors. Porter and Carne, the clever eccentric dancers, will present a special act, and there will be numerous other features to keep the ball rolling. Early booking is advised. Since velvets are destined to play an important part in the chic woman’s autumn wardrobe it is as well to consider the advisability of buying a frock of this fascinating fabric. Many of the designs look like printed crepes —the same polkp. dots, tiny flowers, crows’ feet design, ribbed and tweed patterns, the decorated summer fabrics now appear on many velvets. Tiered skirts, diagonal lines, adjustable sashes, shoulder ties are noticeable features of the latest models which have newly arrived at Castel Jaloux, Ltd. (Woodward Street).
