NANETTE NOTICES

HERE AND THERE. (By “Nanette.”) Mother’s Forethought. It is not at all uncommon for a baby to protest loudly at its first public appearance—the christening ceremony—but, on a recent occasion, the baby was a model of propriety and accepted the strange experience with complacency. 11 was afterwards explained that the mother, anxious that her child should do her credit, had “practised” on it so that the baby was quite used to having cold water poured on its head. Winter Cheer. One of the delights of winter is getting warm—and there is nothing more delightful than getting warm in front of a glowing fire. You can make your fireside look very attractive witli brassware, such as a handsome brass firescreen. I saw a number of interestng designs in brass firescreens at Hutchins’ Furniture "Warehouse. 493 Alain Street, priced from 19s 6d. * Candle-Light. The Press refers now and then to' “the candle-light vogue.” One of its' followers in England is the Duchess of i Bucclench. She has special deep-ivory. wax candles that burn very slowly and without flickering, placed in a massive silver chandelier with a design of mermaids. In her pale green dining-room in Grosvcnor Place the effect is intriguingly beautiful. Winter Blemishes. No matter what your typo of skin condition it will require its own individual treatment, because you will discover that on cold, wintry days dry skins become sensitive and the lips crack while oily skins will acquire a weather-beaten appearance. Therefore,

prepare your skill for tlie winter months by consulting Sylvia Kirk, of Broadway, on its correct treatment. * Savouries. Small pieces of stale bread may be used for savouries. Cut them into small lingers, dip in melted butter, spread tho tops with meat extract or fish paste, roll in grated cheese, and bake until crisp. Modern Nightwear. Whether you prefer ’nighties or pyjamas for bedtime wear you can look very charming in the dainty modern styles. Even winter garments follow the fashions and, without sacrificing their warmth, are less bulky and more becoming. You should see tho lovely selection of cosv pyjamas and nighties, in the newest tunings, at the Scotch Wool and Hosiery Shop, the Square. ‘ Matrimonial Handicap. At the Scottish Society’s inglcsido the other night, when the programme was arranged on the lines of a race meeting, a rather witty “protest” was lodged against the winners of one event—a husband and wife—on the grounds that they were running in double harness. However, the protest was dismissed by the “stewards” because there was no “single pool totalisator.” An Invitation. Show vistors should avail themselves of tho open invitation extended by Slaters, the Square, to see their stock of fashionable coats, suits, evening frocks, hostess gowns and afternoon frocks all marked at very special prices during June. For the prospective bride the most exquisite bridal gowns will be gladly stripped of their tissue paper wrappings to reveal their full beauty. Sandwiches At Buckingham Palace. The Queen takes a personal interest in the refreshments provided ior guests at Buckingham Palace. At a recent Palace party buffets had been arranged in six rooms, including the Bow Boom, Green Boom, and Boval Vestibule. The sandwich fillings comprised ham, chicken, smoked salmon, sardines, tomatoes, cucumber, tongue, eggs, and cress. Brown toast sandwiches with ham and chicken topped with aspic were served as “sandwiches du palais.”
