The wealth of beautiful woollens and silks on display at Baird’s, the quality drapers, give promise of quite outstanding frocks, coats and costumes for the coming autumn and winter. Silks have never been so entrancingly lovely, or so utterly new. Silk velvets, with black very prominent, and the new shot effects, are having a great run. Taffetas, too, in entirely new shades and designs, are really exquisite. Tinsel threaded weaves are also the vogue; no-one could resist the appeal of these exclusive frock lengths now showing at Baird’s. The sportswoman is catered for to an unusual degree this season. There are tweeds in Scotch makes. Cumberland and West of England, lovely designs and colour mixtures. For golf ensembles there are vi.vellas in plain and tartan effects, the lost word in sunartness and style.

For some time past the Government has had under consideration the question of encouraging the use of woolpacks made in New Zealand. The Minister of Industries mid Comerce, Hon. D. G. Sullivan, stated on Saturday, that if it wire possible, without creating complications, the Government vmiild endeavour to ensure that the New Zealand woolpack had a definite share of the New Zealand market. It was hoped that an early decision would be reached on the matter.
