An example of how a meeting on an English bowling green enabled a father to hear first-hand news of his son is quoted by Mr A. E. Colmer, of Auckland, who has just returned from a trip to England. Mr Colmer was playing bowls at a green in Kent when one of the club members, hearing that he was a New Zealander, asked him if he knew a man named Bush in Auckland. As it happened, Mr Colmer had frequently played bowls with a Mr Arthur Bush, who proved to be the inquirer’s son. Ladies! You will look much smarter in that little summer frock with a neat little handbag to match. These bags are all the rage in London, and the colourings are brown, grey, red, bluo, black, and green, each trimmed with colours _to match. The bag is envelope shape, size 4iin x 85m, with a strap at the back, arid fitted with mirrors and purses. They are dainty, fashionable, and smart. Price, 4s lid each. Only at Collinson and Son, Ltd., toilet counter, opposite tobacco counter.—Advt.
