WOMEN’S WORLD

Mrs J. Hutchison, of Palmerston' North, is visiting Wellington. Mrs E. Jameson, of Palmerston North, is visiting Auckland. Mrs L. Christie, of New Plymouth, spent the week-end in Palmerston North. Mrs S. V. Trask, of Palmerston North, leaves Wellington to-morrow by the Ruahino for London. Mrs A. Allen, of Feiiding, and Mrs J. McEwen, of Utuwai, returned home yesterday after spending a holiday in the South island and Wellington. Mrs' Will, who has been president of the Ilongotea Horticultural Society for the past three years, was again unanimously re-elected to that oliice at the annual meeting. At a meeting of the Palmerston North Hospital Women’s Auxiliary yesterday afternoon, it was decided to send a letter of sympathy to Mrs J. Stone, in her illness, wishing her a speedy recovery. Mrs M.-: A itch i son (president) said that Mrs Stone, who is a member of the auxiliary, is journeying, to Wellington at the end of the ■week to undergo an operation. Princess Margaret has just had her pretty golden-brown hair cut into a short fringe, the popular style for little girls nowadays (says an exchange). With her centre parting and soft forehead curls, our youngest Princess makes a delicious miniature of the Duchess of York. Princess Elizabeth’s fair curls are still dressed with the parting'at the right side, and cut into a thick, long bob. The Duchess of York is not attempting to let either of her daughters grow really long hair, though it used to be the inflexible rule for royal children in the past. Both the Princesses brush their hair themselves night and morning, singing as they do so to the accompaniment of the nursery gramophone. This is tho clever, modern way of turning what might l>e regarded as a monotonous task into splendid fun. the children themselves deciding what song they shall brush to and taking turns in the selection Prineo Ernst von Hohenberg, second son of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination at Sarajevo was the beginning of the World War in 1914-18. is to wed an English girl, the daughter of Captain Wood, the explorer, who has just returned from Tanganyika. The prince is the son of a morganatic marriage, otherwise lie would be in the direct succession to the Emperor Franz Joseph.
