WOMEN’S WORLD.

Mrs Ramsay Campbell, of Sydney, is the guest of Mrs A. F. FitzHerbcrt for a few days. Mrs W. L. Fitzherbert returned from the boach on Monday. Miss M. Dyer, inspector of domestic science in the Education Department, returned from England by the Tahiti oil Monday. Miss Gillett, private secretary to Lady Stonehaven, is on a visit to New Zealand and is staying with Mrs J. D. A’Deane, of “Ashcott,” Takapau. Miss Gillett will be remembered by many New Zealanders as the secretary of Lady Jellicoe during Lord Jellicoe’s term of office in New Zealand.

THE FULL-LENGTH COAT. Nothing is likely to put out of joint the “nose” of the full-length coat. It is far too useful to be forsaken and with frocks of lighter texture the full length coat is indispensable. For autumn, it is mostly in tweed or velour fur-trimmed. Some are showing a slight flare at the sides; others have the flare at the back only which is more becoming when the hips are .wide; still others have the flare all round, while very many remain slim and straight. In many cases the backs of coats have some decoration in seam stitchings or a short oape. Though not exactly popular, the cape has its place. It may hang down the back, be cut with a crooked line, or fall over the aims as well as down the back. But it is only for the tall and slender. Fur collars are large on the winter coats. JOTTINGS. They are cutting evening coats short to half length and looking just right above the billowy skirts of the new evening frocks. ( You can’t hide your blushes under brims this autumn and winter, as they are rolled back from the face and cut low in a becoming line at the side. *** . » A flower perched behind your evening coat collar looks very alluring, while Paris insists on their dahlias as the only permissible flowers on your shoulder. * * .* * Scarves are not interesting unless they really belong to the dress. But you have a necklace for every frock. GLASSES AND BEAUTY. Nine out of ten girls hate wearing glasses because they make an ugly red mark across the bridge of the nose. ' But this need not worry them any longer, because if they will massage a little colourless iodine into the mark immediately they take their glasses off, it will disappear very quickly. Leave a thin coat of the ointment on the skin, and powder in the ordinary way. If this is done regularly every night before going to bed, the mark will never have a chance of appearing. THE MOST EXCLUSIVE CLUB IN THE WORLD. That very select body, the Caterpillar Club, is believed to be unique as there is no entrance fee and no subscription, the sole qualification for life membership being a parachute descent to save one’s life. The founder of the club was Mr Leslie Irqm, the American inventor of the air ’chute, which is standard equipment in the Royal Air Force. Mr lrom has made hundreds of descents himself, and is also a Moth owner-pilot of considerable experience, with his own aerodrome at Leitchworth. Among the more famous Caterpillars .are Colonel Lindbergh and Flight-Lieut. D’Arcy —Captain C.- E. Ward in The Bystander.

CONGREGATIONAL SOCIAL. There was a large gathering at the social held in the St. Andrew’s Memorial Hall last evening. Rev. G. T. Brown, M.A., occupied the chair. The function took the form of a bring and buy social and a large and varied supply of produce cakes, vegetables, etc., was displayed for sale at the back of the hall. Items were rendered as follow: Vocal solos, Mrs Paton and Mr W. B. Tennent; violin solo, Mrs Liw; and an elocutionary item by Mr L. Noedl. Competitions were won by Mesdames W. Henderson and A. Ferguson and Miss M. Dobbie. The Deacons’ Court took the opportunity of bidding farewell and wishing bon voyage to Mr and Mrs S. Macaulay and Miss N. Macaulay, who are leaving this week by the Rangitane on a trip to the Home Land. Mr John Murray, M.A., in a happy speech expressed the appreciation of the congregation for the guests of the evening, and wished them, a happy voyage and a safe return. This was strongly supported by the chairman. Mr S. Macaulay returned thanks for the honour the congregation had done them. A very happy and hearty gathering was brought to an end by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” Supper was provided by the Deacons’ Court. A Dutch auction, conducted by Mr L. Noedl disposed of the remainder of the goods for sale. A sum of about £7 in all was realised. LADIES’ GOLF.
