Ffcom THE sunny comer* rtf' Home Guard Parade on Saturday, our Mr McKeehnie was very full of Molotov Cocktails. Some tar, petrol, and kerosene, with plenty of smoke, which .no" doubt made a very hot mixture. We don’t know whether you take it with water or rub it in! a Glory Box is a Girl’s “Casket of Dreams” and many pleasant hours are filled in planning its contents. It is essential that so important a feature should look lovely and still he serviceable, and that is why a "Walnut Box from our Furnishing Department would be ideal. You will fall in love with the. graining and the tasteful inlaid wood design front panel. * * * * llon Monday night, the Staff assembled for our Annual Meeting and • a new Social Committee was formed, Mr Rees, once more, being appointed Chairman. The Committee of six members are going to have their work cut out this Winter arranging a Staff Dance, Entertainment for Soldiers, Interhouse Drama, Basketball. *"* * * us imagine that you . have bought your Glory Box and now you are on the scout for Needlework to pack into it.

Girls’ Sports Team, who carry the honours of their victory at Levin, last Saturday. •[[Among the select display of Model Ensemble Suits in the Mantle Department a particularly smartly tailored ensemble attracted me. It is the type of outfit that would bo equally smart for Race wear or Town wear. Angora Wool, is the material, but what I love is the shade—Dusky Teal, amply expresses it. Panels pintucked on the frock and introduced into the coat. The Vintage fancy suede belt makes a pleasant contrast. «[We welcome Joyce Veysey to the Staff of the Mantle Department. I am sure we will see her interested in some of the Interhouse Teams very shortly. * * * * is the little things that count, so the wise woman will look to her accessories. Do you need Gloves? If so you must pay our Fancy Department a visit. We can show you hew shades in very smart suede nappa or natural -washing leather. Either lines make a good investment. You have heard the slogan “The Berlei beneath gives the line?” And I can tell you, it is only a Berlei foundation that can give YOTJR frock that line.

Nevertheless the taxis benefit after a parade. *-* * * * «f[A saying that is good to remember: Trying is a Master Ivey, that will unlock any door in the world. Premier Drapery Co. Ltd.
