WOMEN'S WORLD

Mrs Alfred Crooke, of Alarton, lias been visiting relatives in Auckland. Mrs W. L. Fitzherbert, of Palmerston North, is at present on holiday in Auckland, where she intends to stay for about ten days. She has been away since Wednesday of'last week. The friends of Nurse Dougherty will regret to learn that she recently underwent an operation, and will wish her a speedy recovery. Mrs J. M. Earle and Miss Marjorie Earle, of Lyall Bay, who have been visiting Palmerston North, have returned home. Mrs J. G. Coates, -wife of ltt. Hon. J. G. Coates, arrived in Palmerston North yesterday-and was met at the station by Mr J. A. Nash, M.P., and Mrs Nash, Sirs S. Trask and Mr A. J. Graham. Mrs W. F. Field, J.P.. and Mr F. L. Cubitt, two members of Mr Nash’s committee, saw Mrs Coates off by this morning’s train, and presented her with a bouquet. Mrs Coates will join her husband in Hastings this afternoon.

Miss C. Anderson, a home science teacher on the staff of the Dunedin Technical College, visited Palmerston North on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Yesterday, she was a visitor to the Palmerston North Technical School, and was very impressed with the high standard of home science work at the school, and the training given in school houses. Mr and Mrs I. It. Sherwood, who are at present on a honeymoon tour of the South Island, will shortly make their home in Palmerston North. Mrs Sherwood was formerly Miss D. E. Paulger, of Tikorangi, Mr Sherwood’s former home having been at Henderson, Auckland. They were married at Tikorangi last week.

“Ye can’t educate women as men. They’re elemental creatures; and ye can no more change their natures than ye can stop fire from burning.” —Hugh Pitcairn speaking in “Nancy Sair,” by Elinor Macartney Lane. Madame F. Marsi, who is accompanying the Viennese Boys’ Choir from the Institute of the Singing Boys of Austria, which recently visited Palmerston North, is a delightfully vivacious personality, small, slender and beautifully dressed. She has lived part of the year in Australia for several years, but this is her first visit to New. Zealand. Every year Madame Marsi visits Vienna, where she has considerable property, and she has travelled extensively throughout the world. Miss Winifred Holtby, the novelist, warned that she had only a brief time to live, set to finish two works. Her task done, her death has taken place in a London nursing home where she had been seriously ill for two weeks. ■She was 37, and had attained distinction among the younger generation of writers. In addition to a number of novels, she had written pamphlets on political and social subjects. She had travelled extensively in Europe and South Africa as a regular lecturer for the League of Nations Union, and, from 1920, was a director of Time and Tide. The Duchess of Kent has accepted the office of Lady Superintendant-in-Chief for the St. John Ambulance Association in Wales. In this capacity Her Royal Highness has indicated her willingness to l>e associated with the work of the order within the Principality. The office was formerly held by the Dowager Countess of Plymouth, who shared the deep interest taken by. the late Earl of Plymouth in the work of the Priory for Wales, of which he was the first Sub-Prior, in addition to holding the office of Sub-Prior of the Grand Priory.

NANETTE NOTICES. (By “Nanette.”) “PINING FOR AN AIRING.” If anyone inquired of Nanette who were the busiest people in Palmerston North at the jiresent- time, she would be tempted to reply, not the election candidates, but the dressmakers. Summer wardrobes are being fitted out, and needles and scissors are in many cases working overturn. It is disappointing that the AA r eather Clerk has been of so uncertain a temperament lately, since there are many summer frocks and ensembles which, as a lady expressed it to Nanette, are simply “pining for an airing.” SPRING-CLEANING. “Have you done your spring-clean-ing yet?” Airs Palmerston North asks the lady next door over the fence. If the answer is “Yes” it is accompanied by a sigh of profound relief and a smile which breaks like summer sunshine over her face; if a negative reply must be given, however, there is a weary note about the voice. It is surprising how many women postpone spring-cleaning until well into summer, and contemplating the task before them for so long makes it appear a more-to-be-dreaded task than it really is. “Have you done your spring-clea'iing yet?” If you are one of the women referred to in the previous sentence, make a New A’ear resolution in advance to do it now !

AVEDDING

AIOSES—KATZ

Aluch interest was aroused by the marriage at the Synagogue, The Terrace, Wellington, last evening, of Dorothy Norma, daughter of Rev. Solomon Katz, Rabbi of AA’ellington, and Mrs Katz, to Sidney L., son of Air and Airs C. IL. Aloses, Auckland. The beautiful Jewish ceremony was performed by the bride’s father, assisted by Rev. S. Kantor.. The bride entered the Synagogue with her brother, Air David Katz. She wore a beautiful gown of off-white satin, with a plain, sleekly-cut skirt finishing in a long panel train. The neck was slightly cowled and the sleeves were wide, starting from the waistline and tapering to the elbow, from where they were tight to the wrist. She carried a bouquet of white azaleas trailing to the hem of her frock and her veil of beautiful old brussels lace was in the same off-white tint. The bride was attended by Airs Charles Robinson as matron of honour, and Aliss Rosetta Aloses, as bridesmaid. Both' are sisters of the bridegroom. Air Kenneth Aloses, brother of the bridegroom, was the best man, and the bride’s other brother, Air Alfred Katz-- was groomsman. After the ceremony a small reception at which only relatives were present', was held at 128 The Terrace, the home of the bride’s parents. Airs Katz has just recovered from a long illness, and it was for this reason that there was not a large reception.

CHOICE OF PERFUAIE. In spite of the almost bewildering choice of perfumes that look so tempting on the beauty counters, it is often difficult to choose one that is suitable for hot evenings. Nothing heavy should be used, but a light, refreshing fragrance that will charm away fatigue. <r Le Nouveau Gardenia” is an exquisite summery perfume as suitable for the under-twenties as for the older woman. Try it when you want to get into a dancing mood. Delicate flower scents are as popular as ever. Lilac, jasmine or violet are all elusivelv fragant which is what perfume should be.
