Worked In Leather Factory

A striking example of a woman committing her whole self to the work of the Y.W.C.A. was to be found in the Swetllsh Y.W.C.A. president, a niece of the King of Sweden, who was also a world vice-president, said Miss Ethel Law, national secretary of the Y.W.C.A. in New Zealand, in the course of an address at Palmerston North. For three summer months this lady had elected to work in a leather factory in CMcago in order to learn what it was like for girls working in such a place. It had been amazing to note the development of power in her personality.

Mrs. Barton, who until recently was general secretary -of the English Cooperative Women’s Guild, will arrive by the Arawa to-day to visit her daughter.

The new uncrushable linen has brought back to hot favour those d.eJi'ditfullv smart linen suits which in the linen of bygone days needed such constant ironing and were so difficult to keep fresh. Agnes Samson lias a lovely selection of beautifully tailored linen suits from a very well-known house renowned for its perfection of cut-in pale, pink, pastel blue, white natural and one white spotted with green. They all have straight skirts with a low-placed pleat for comfort in walking, but the coats each display some little individual touch which gives distinction and chic. Perfect to wear with these linen suits are the fine natural straws with a gros grain band. Agnes Samson, Lambton Quay. Advt.
