GTill..S' HOSTEL. |

'Mrs: Herbert Williams writes as follows: I There is a on loot to open a Hostel for girl workers in Gisborne. It lias boon found difficult, for a- long tune, to get accoin- : modation for those girls who have to 1 leavo their own homes to make their i Living. In some of the larger ' towns of New Zealand the Y.W.C.A. ' has opened hostels lor the benefit el I such cases, and they have been run ) very successfully, it is understood, i The field secretary. Mrs Kaye, who ' gave an address recently in Gisborne, described the work _ undertaken for the benefit of giris in Auckland, Christchurch, and other '. largo towns, and after some consideration. those interested decided to ask the Y.W.C.A. to open such a I Hostel in Gisborne, if sufficient supI port was forthcoming to carry it on. \ meeting will be held this afternoon at 2.30 in the Committee rooms of the Farmers’ Union, to further consider this matter. It would bo a pity if the scheme fell to the ground for want of encouragement, but a strong committee will bn. needed to put tlie Hostel and its finances on a satisfactory footing. Several pub-lic-spotted' citizens have offered their vahiabY properties for sale to supp’v the required building, and ' there should be no diffioultv in securing highly su : table premises, in a fairly central position. While the idea of opening a G ris’ Ho«tol originated in connection with the p'ar of sending out women workers from England, it must not be .•n-* nosed that it will be only for the •n-nefifc of these girls. Local g'rl •.erkers wi'l also be welcomed. It is be firmed that the generous Gi-- . ••rn« public will take up til’s matter •’nrnret so that we may have an -'*ut : m worthy of our progre'- “ to"i’. which lm« never been be-•b-m ’ in helping forward worthy ’ ■•Ms. ‘ • r EEICAN FAS’HIONS.

NETT AND NOTES OF THE DAY j| i tl ;

Sweaterettes have been ranch worn this fall and are still very much liked. Thev are composed of a wide scarr which is bound in at the waist with a narrow patent-leather belt which holds the wide bands in place, thus allowing them to afford considerable protection. Tam-o’-shanters of the brushed wool are worn with the sweaterettes. j WHO AM I?

Mnnv neopie find it diffi- • cult, but it is simple compared with the art of knowing exactly when to go. and how to get away without awkwardness. When paying a call, it is not necessary to take your departure as soon as unot-lmr visitor is shown in. N oil should remain for a short time; i Him rise, supposing you have already hern a few minutes in the room before tho new-comer arrived. It is not; polite to go on out-staying other callers. If a husband and wife are calling together. the wife gives the signal for going. It is not necessary to g D through any form of catching the eye, _ or otherwise attracting his attention; it is sufficient to stand tin. when he will finish his own conversation and do the snme. J Tf a mother and daughter, in the same way, are visitors, the mother rises first; if two sisters, the older. • You shake hands with your hostess on leaving, and with such of the family ns happen to he present. I To other people you merely bow. whether they are known to you or not.
