BAND OF HOPE

The president, Mrs. Sired, took the chair at the Aro Street Mission fortnightly Band of Hope meeting last week. She opened the meeting by reading the twenty-third Psalm, beginning ‘■The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want," saying that this was the best i type of "social security” that people I could have. | Mr. Mourant gave a talk on the evils I of aldohol, saying that it adversely ; affected the part of the brain which : controlled (he will. He urged everyone to stand for temperance in life as I this attitude would help, not only them, I but others also. ■ The speaker was heartily applauded. | The evening gowns in a very special collection at special prices include a sapphire blue satin, cut on the cross. The neck is a deep V in the back, ami a draped front falls into a V. A very graceful cape coat, dartfitted on the shoulders, completes a charming ensemble. It is a large lilting, and only seven guineas. An ele- I gant pale pink chiffon with a swirling j skirl has a graceful cross-over bodice , edged round the top with a tiny plait ; of the chiffon, which also forms the shoulder straps. .A wide, long scarf ■ to match is alluring. This one is six and a half guineas. At the same price is an ultra-smart dinner frock of heavy ■ rosewood brown crepe. The long sleeves, ; the upper bodice, and a deep corselette ■ in deep vandykes are all heavily beaded with tiny champagne and brown < bends. A very chic black satin-backed crepe dinner gown has a slim skirt of i the crepe with wide flat cross-over sections of the satin side forming the bodice. The long sleeves and sash are also of the satin. This frock is wonderful ' value at seven guineas. This collection ' js very well worth inspection.—Salon ; Celia. Ltd.. Lambton Quay.—Advt.
