Woman’s World

Fully one-third of the female popu lation of Prance are labourers on farms. Some of England's elementary school buildings are said to be less hygienic than the average prison. Miss K. McCormick, of the Foxton State School teaching staff, has been appointed to the staff of the Waipukurau School. A cable says the ex-Kaiser’s marriage has been ollicially announced and fixed for November. Monarchist objections to the marriage are denied.

No wonder that cretonnes are being - daily diverted from their home furnishing - mission to furnish Instead frocks, aprons, overalls, handbagd and parasols for the fashionable. And stockings are by no means modest in colour or pattern—taken all in all, it’s a gay world. VOGUES AND VAGARIES. The modistes are achieving some particularly lovely effects for evening wear, with under-frocks of one pale tint, and over-dresses of another. Delphinium blue with palest grey overslip is an exquisite example. Other favourite themes are pale lilac over rose and larkspur blue over cyclamen pink. The beauty of these frocks is in their extreme simplicity, and the opportunities they afford the home dressmaker to achieve distinction with economy. NEW BELTS. A distinct indication of the return of the waist is the broad buckled belt of wide velvet, either in black or in the hue onosen for the frock, in a deeper shade. Mother-o’-pearl is much in demand for the buckle aforesaid, as its iridescent reflective qualities are just right for a gown of delicate hues. The fashionable steel, jet, and ivory are all too heavy for these gossamer toilettes. SHOE SAGACITY, Light grey suede snoes are almost an essential item of the shoe cupboard, as they are so very accommodating, fitting - into costume and frock schemes alike with equal "flair.” For town wear they have tne great advantage of looking well in all sorts of weather. Dusty streets soon obscure the immaculate gleam of the popular mack patent. The new heel of medium height is the happiest possible solution of the problem—how to achieve walking comfort with a sense of ease and security. BULGAR-AMERICAN MARRIAGE.

The Bulgarian Prime Minister declares that King Boris wishes to marry a young, beautiful and rich American, The Bulgarians have lost faith in Royal alliances and believe an American bride for the King would be a greater asset to Bulgaria than a European. The law permits the King to marry in such circumstances, and the marriage therefore would not be a morganatic one. His wife would actually be Queen. Two incomparable values at Collinson and Cunninghame’s. Ladles silk ankle stockings, white of black, 3/11 pair.
