NANETTE NOTICES

HERE AND THERE. (By “Nanette.”) Cheering Thought.

Perhaps that Centennial winter garden lias some points in its favour if we will be able to see a blaze of colourful flowers there on bleak days like t. esc. Economical Smartness

I noticed, yesterday, that the windows of Slaters, the Square, were looking particularly attractive. One was done in rust shades and the other in blues with some really delightful suits, coats, frocks and hats, quite a number of them being useful garments to carry one into the spring besides being ideal for present wear. The special prices are ridiculously low. * Return to Tennis Dresses. A number of tennis stars have decided against shorts, certainly they l ad reached such a pitch of abbreviation that they played havoc with a perfect figure. Not all tennis enthusiasts have a perfect figure, so a return to a tennis dress with matching shorts beneath will make for more attractive tennis outfits.

A Home Necessity Even if you have a vacuum cleaner a carpet-sweeper is useful when you are tidying up in a hurry. If you haven’t a vacuum its an absolute necessity!

Here is a tale from one of Daniel Vare’s delightful books. —A surgeon thinks he has done an excellent job of work when he sets the two broken f:ont legs of a dachshund. But imagine his dismay when, on removing tho plaster, he discovers that he has forgotten to make the legs bandy to match I he back ones. And the result is something even odder than a dachshund should be! Neglected Legs In these days of knee length skirts smartness is often achieved at the expense of our poor legs, which are left shivering in silk. There’s no need to abandon smartness when you can be cosy in all wool or silk and wool stockings from the Scotch Wool and Hosiery Shop, the Square. They have a lovely range at keen prices. New Zealand Mascot.

Miss Gladys Allan, who is now the public relations officer for Airlines ol Australia, Ltd., has a greenstone “tiki” from New Zealand that has travelled 500.000 miles with her. That is equal to eighteen times around the world. The “tiki” which hangs on a gold chain has been on every major air route in the Commonwealth, and has more than 2500 flying hours *o l.is credit, all of them nart of a 1 appv three years he and Miss Allan : hared together when she was an active air hostess for Australian National Airways. First Aid for Hair

There’s an awful sinking feeing when you realise your new permanent wave is not a success and you have to wait weary months for it to grow out. Take precautions next time by having a reconditioning treatment from Sylvia Kirk, of Broadway. It restores natural vitality to the hair after over-baking or scalp troubles have harmed it. * Defeating Jack Frost. If you live in a district which is frosty, and which plays havoc with your skin, the best first-aid method is to warm the fingertips, apply a little cold cream, and massage it well into the frost-bitten area. Allow the cream to remain on the skin lor about 10 minutes, and then wipe it off and apply a light touch of tinted powder. If you use a powder which is a perfect match for your complexion, the frostbitten mark will not be noticeable, and usu.nllv by morning it will have disappeared.
