markably pretty girl, wearing exquisite^ clcthcs." She became "convinced that the tactics of the man who ogles girls in the public streets are a menace to womankind," and therefore she "offered her F-ervtces to the police."' You will pause to remark that Miss Pay Evans had in some degree herself to thank. She need not have been "a remarkably pretty girl," and certainly she need not. have worn "exquisite clothes." People who choose to do these things ought to accept with proper humility the established maxim that "a cat may look at a king." Now you may like to know how the catcher went a-catching. "Followed at gome distance by two detectives in plain clothes, Miss Evans promenaded the main thoroughfares of Los Angeles. Her walk resulted iit the' capture of ten men, who were each fined £6, with the alternativft of thirty days' imprison* nwnt." The phrasing of the telegram if, we cannot but think, a little unkind to Miss Evan?. Her walk was doubtless a very wonderful performance. "By her gait the goddess stood revealed,' 1 civs the old translation cf Virgil. The gait of Miss Evans was apparently that of the perfect flirt oatcner—an' awful thought, not lightly to be admitted of any Woman alive. Jtfrs. W. B. .Fisher, secretary of the Wellington District . Nursing League, will leave for Wanganui next week to Rseist in organising a nursing division. She also hQjje. 1 ? to confer with members of the District Nursing League for the purpose of explaining the constitution of the District Nursing Guild of St. John, and its administrative methods of working in Wellington. Mre. Fisher will afterwards accompany Mr. Fisher on a visit to the Waitomo Caves. In addition to the modified crinolines which we are promised during the coming winter, Parisiennea will, it is stated, show preference for flits, velvet, and lace (writes a Paris correspondent). The colour most in demand will be blue hi all its shades, and bright colours of all hues will be worn. Oriental models Still find favour with the smart women of the capital, but there will be no at tempt to revive the harem skirt. Hats will be bigger than ever, and when they are not of exaggerated size they will be very small, according to the characteristics and stature of the weareT. Aigrettes and ostrich and bird of paradise feathers will be much in vogue, but flowers will have to wait for a change of fash ion i For what are known a* "Chapeaux de- „ Style," the favourite period will be that of Louis XVI. ; On matters relating to the hair and scalp, Mrs. Bolleston is recommended as a leading authority, being experienced, skilful, and having the latest improved methods of hair ' treatment.
