NANETTE NOTICES

HERE AND THERE.

(By “Nanette.”)

Homes. Queen Alexandra was not lacking in a sense of humour. When visiting a hospital she asked a little girl “where she lived and received >,the reply, ‘‘ln the Edgeware Road, opposite Garrould’s. Where do you live,.madam P” .“In Buckingham,- Palace -Road, , opposite .Gorringe’s,” answered, the Queen without hesitationIn Spring’s Mood. Bring-your, suit or that always useful odd skirt into the mood, of spring with a.jumper or twin set in one of the new/tpriings. There is a lovely selection at the Scotch AVpol. and Hosiery Shop, the Square. They are in summer weights and tlio jumpers have either short or long, sleeves, . ; *

Parents and Schools. In the United States it is not an uncommon experience to visit a school and to be taken on a tour of inspection by a parent who is as familiar with the layout, educational aims, and methods, of study as the headmaster. Parents' 'pftqn attend classes and their presence';) is taken for granted by both teacher’and. children.A Races Again. ,

Raeeg.are near at hand once more and the great clothes problem must be solved. For a country meeting tailored styles are best whether carried out in classic suits or snug top coats. Slater’s, the Square, excel in this type of wear, in which cut and fit are so important. They have a wide range of sizes and styles in English worsteds and light woollens. *

Kite-Flying. The kite season is evidently looming near once more. Un Sunday an obliging father was noticed in a conveniently large paddock instructing two young hopefuls in the management of a particularly large and splendid kite. It looked as if it might be the product of father’s workmanship as the children were rather young to have made it. Real Economy. A hair, set that comes up fresh and smiling alter being crushed under a liat all day is a blessing when you want to look your best for an evening engagement and here Sylvia Kirk, of Broadway,' can help you. Her sets keep trim and manageable not only for one day but long enough to effect a real economy in time and money on your beauty budget. * Linen Economy.

Don’t store linen—-use it. It is uneconomical to keep it indefinitely in the condition in which it left the manufacturers. Linen should be used in rotation and the manufacturers tell us that cloth, is the better for periodic unfolding. The launderers will tell of the difficulty of banishing that yellowish dirty line in table cloths and sheets, etc., resulting from long folding in non-airtight cupboards. Furs for Distinction.

AVear a fur necklet to top off your suit or plain tailored coat for the races. It will give that extra cachet demanded by a special occasion without the weight or expense of a fur coat. Grey is fashion’s favourite this season and there are delightful grey squirrel necklets at H. H. Blandford’s, Coleman Place. If you prefer darker colours there are skunk and other fu.rs to choose from. *
