Austin), Miss Marjorie Bryce; piano solo, “Toccata” (Saint Saens), Miss Ina Currin; vocal solo, “You In a Gondola” (Clarke), Miss Z.

A suggestion that Girl Guides should wear shorts in camp has roused some of the older generation to indignant protest. In a letter to the magazine Guider, one of these, signing herself “Early Victorian,” draws a pathetic picture of somewhat corpulent commissioners doing “chores” and attending public functions in shorts, the argument being that if tho concession is made for camp use it will gradually become the regulation costume On tho other hand, it is contended that in camp shorts would be a much more convenient and tidy attire than the present overall, bulging above and below the belt. On another point of Girl Guide attire it is recorded in the magazine that the Imperial Council of the movement had decided that brown shoes and stockings are henceforth to be the regulation uniform. This question has yet to be discussed by tho New Zealand commissioners.
