Sho dealt interestingly with the layout and arrangement of beds and colour schemes. Sho also urged members to widen their collection of plants by raising their own seedlings and ' interchanging with friends., Mrs. Knox Gilmer made a strong appeal. for the protection of native plants, and. urged , mothers to instruct their children in a lovo for them. A very hearty, vote, of , thanks was passed to the speaker, and also to Mesdames Morrishand Stecle, • for songs and recitations, -. which were ■' much appreciated. Afternoon tea was served by the. committee Backless Fashions. ■ ' Ballrooms as well as 'beaches present some strange spectacles' just now, states a London writer. ' Women who have gone in for much sunbathing in backless suits cut quite high' in front find themselves with beautifully-tanned backs, necks, and arms, and snow-white ' chests. They ,try to cover up the whiteness with sun-tan powders. But the powders do not match tho realthing, and the effpet is really rather comical. The wise ones have the tops of thoir sea and sunbathing suits cut exactly like those of their evening gowns, so that they got an even colour all round. ' Somo dressmakers are actually using the same patterns for eveuing dresses for cruising holidays, which seems quite a worth-while idea.
