NANETTE NOTICES

HERE AND THERE. (By “Nanette.”) Dry Skin Problem. Lanoline or nourishing creams are the best remedies for this type of skin condition. Last thing at night, after you have thoroughly cleansed the skin, spread a thin film of the cream all over the face and allow it to remain on until morning. Many women are frightened to use these creams on the skin under the impression that they encourage the growth of hair. This lias yet to be proved, and, as there arc many bald-headed men who are willing to spend hundreds ol pounds on curing their baldness, these creams, if they would grow hair, would lie sold at a much higher price for that specific purpose. For the Holiday Trunk. Quite a number of the frocks this season come in a silk and wool mixture that is very useful under a coat in cold weather. In plain colours, warm and light, they are dressy for any little party in the Easter holidays. Slaters, the Square, have them and also perfect little suits for travelling and glamorous wear for formal evenings. * Edwardian Style. The Edwardian type of upswept hairdressing is slowly making its appearance in Palmerston North. AA’iih 1 the right features it can be very smart and there were one or two quite becoming examples at the _ races last week. One attractive version seen was arranged in soft curls behind the ears and from the ton of the head to the nape of the neck. Cyclamen Stockings. Have you seen the new cyclamen stockings specially designed to go with the lovely new autumn colours? In a sheer weight they are exactly riglil for smart afternoon wear and will add the final touch to a new ensemble. The Scotch AVool and Hosiery Shop, the Square, have them in all sizes at 10s lid pair. 1 Better Dress.

New Zealand men—particularly tin North Islanders—are often being accused of slovenly dressing, but, as someone remarked to me, they vindicated themselves at the Maninvatii races. Perhaps it was the inspiration ol brighter colours for their sex, but the male patrons were for the most part very smartly turned out. AVomcn's clothes also showed better taste and discrimination. A Home Safeguard.

Health authorities often warn us that more dangers lurk in the home tiian anywhere else and the efficient housewife tries to take precautions. Now Hutchins’ Furniture AVarehouse 493 Alain Street, comes to her aid with a line of germ-proof mattresses. The ticking is specially treated to repel germs and vermin and safeguard your home and family. Wcmen Artists' Work. Two women artists have loft their mark on the Dominion Monarch, which arrived at AVellington on Saturday.

The striking decorative feature in the enormous restaurant, which can seat 280 passengers, was designed by a well-known artist, Mrs Pinder-Davis. The whole of the wall surface between the windows of the palm court, at the after end, is decorated with murals depicting tropical scenery by Miss Yeoman.

Quality Sheet!. It’s very difficult to got linen sheets of really sound quality these days, so you will appreciate those specially imported from Ireland, by “Trousseau Trove,” Majestic Hotel Buildings. Study the fibre through a magnifying glass to compare them and see the close, even weave, and you will soon

realise why these sheets outlast all others. Inventor of Hand-Clap. hTero was a sports-lover as well as a. sports enthusiast. He raced in the arena ,driving his own horses, and it j was ltccause he did not think the ap- j pJause was sufficient for His Majesty j that he himself invented the open • hand-clap which makes so much more j noise than the genteel closed hand- j clap. History is apt to mislead us into j Ivelieving that nobody cared when he j d'od. and he left no memory l>ehiiid I him. He did to this day in the now j universal hand-clap. Shining Hair. j Bare heads are the rule these days j and it is interesting to study varying I types in a crowd. At one of last j week’s festivities someone remarked i to me: “Yon can always tell the wo- j men who go to Sylvia Kirk, of Broad- \ way. They have such a lovely sheen on j their hair. It must be because she uses such a good shampoo.” * Canape Blanc. Mix four parts cream cheese to one part caviare, season with lemon juice, spread on oblong pieces of toast ami garnish with strips of pimento.
