WOMEN’S WORLD.

Mrs R. Davis has gone to Wellington where Mr Davis is attending a conference. Mrs Geoffrey Potts, of Fitzherbert, is spending a holiday in Christchurch. Mr and Mrs A. E. Mansford, of Chaytor Street, left to-day for Australia, where they anticipate spending from a month to six weeks. The many friends of Miss D. Gleeson, who has been an inmate of a private hospital, will be pleased to learn she has sufficiently recovered to return to her home. The engagement is announced of Vera, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs E. Hambiing, of Limbrick Street, to Harry, eldest son of Mr and Mrs G. Parker, Lombard Street, Palmerston North. Uhe is announced of Miss Maude Barker, of Gisborne,’ to Mr Maurice Brownlie, of Wairoa, the well-known All Black (states the Napier Telegraph). Mrs M. Sharman, M.A., who died in the Palmerston North Hospital last week, was one of the oldest residents of Pahiatua. Her late husband was for a number of years librarian to the Pahiatua Borough Council, and after his death Mrs Sharman took up her residence in Palmerston North. Fifty-seven of the 1928 brides in Britain were only fifteen years of age. One of the laws of Tibet is that married women must not make themselves attractive to men. Therefore, they plaster their faces with a black paste. THE VEXED QUESTION. Everyone is wondering whether the shingle will really be routed ? Mrs Richard Norton, indisputably one of the best turned out women in London society, has reached the “bun” stage and Mrs Gerard d’Erlanger is growing her fair hair again. One hairdresser says that several of her clients who had got to the “bun” stage, had gone back to the shingle because of the bother of hairpins. A SMART ENSEMBLE. Lady George Cholmondeley, at a party the other day, wore an exceedingly well thought out ensemble. A brown suede belt held her red frock in at the waist, and a line of red bordered the revers of her brown tweed coat and showed at the edge of the lining. Her pochette was of brown suede, with corners of red and her red hat had a brown buckle on it. BEAUTY’S TEN COMMANDMENTS. I. To cure dry dandruff massage the scalp with pure olive oil. 11. Rub the lips with cold cream nightly in winter and the coldest winds will not crack them. 111. To whiten the skin apply a lotion made of equal parts of lemon juice, glycerine and rose water. IV. Cleanliness is the biggest aid to beauty so take plenty of hot baths and remember to change your clothes frequently. V. When you manicure attend to tho cuticle in particular. VI. Before going to bed brush your hair vigorously. You'll find the lovely gloss produced, "Well worth the trouble. VII. The jucie of a lemon, drunk with water and without sugar every morning on rising, makes the skin beautifully clear. VIII. Indulge in a pedicure each week, keeping a sharp look-out for corns. IX. To clean your face thoroughly apply a paste of toilet oatmeal and water; let it stay on a few minutes, then remove and rinse your face well. X. Do the exercise five times, a day if you want a slim waist; standing with your feet together, slowly raise the right arm curving it till the hand reaches the head, and let the -left hand slowly drop down till it reaches your knee. Then reverse the movement. A NEGLECTED FLOOR. A very good mixture for cleaning a wooden floor which has been neglected is: lib soft soap, lib Fuller’s earth, lib soda, two quarts of water. Boil this down to about half the quantity, and then scrub the floor thoroughly, working the way of the grain. DEEP-SEA DIVER. Mrs Margaret Campbell Goodwin, of New York, who is only four feet nine inches tall, has done some notable deep sea diving. One of her feats was the salvaging of the copper cargo of the Pewabic sunk in Lake Huron in 1865, five men having previously lost their lives in tire attempt. Mrs Goodwin was successful in raising £60,003 worth of the metal from 180 feet of water. She is now writing a book on her deep-sea experiences. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED— To remove walnuts from their shells without breaking the kernels, pour boiling water over the nuts and let them stand till cold. Then crack with a hammer on the end of the shell. • » » • When eggs are scarce or dear, bacon in batter is a good substitute for eggs and bacon. Make the batter with one egg, milk and pepper, with flour to thicken (salt is unnecessary). Immerse the rashers in the batter and fry in deep fat. Serve hot. * * * • Nappa gloves put in an airtight bottle with a piece of lump ammonia will in a day clean up like new. * * * * Young white turnips make a more appetising dish if they are- boiled in milk and served with melted butter sauce. * * m m Use the water from the ice-chest for filling flower vases, etc. Flowers will keep much longer when put into icecold water. *** * ■ Cornflower is far superior to flour for thickening white sauce and it does not need so much cooking. * * *\ * To disinfect a sick room, place a sprig of dried rosemary on a shovel of. hot coals. It is fragrant and economical. LADIES’ GOLF.
