An artful dodger, a somewhat ragged girl, aged almost five, took up a stand alongside an Indian hawker’s cart in Lamb ton Quay, (says the “New Zealand Times”). Another enterprising juvenile was there in her workday clothes, and to show •several passers-by they were really possessed of the soul of some of Dickens’s characters they set about annexing oranges from the unsuspecting Indian. One little miss held her skirt at an angle that 'would have done justice to a nineteen-year-old flapper, and effectively screened a nearby box of oranges, engaging the while the hawker in t an absorbing conversation. Her skirt was useful, and her companion carried on, the thieving on the other side. Then, before anyone had time to act,' they had vanished. /,

Large velvet-shaded flowers, or masses of osprey mounts, compose the trimmings on models intended for more imporotant dress wear. Many organdi hats are seen; these may have organdi flowers with kid centres, camellias or elaborate nosegays, often repeated to grace the frock it accompanies.

The tendency is clearly.for all cosmetics to be used in a liquid form, as thus they are more readily absorbed and loss likely to be damaged by wind or weather. Liquid rouge, which is generally of any colour but red, is often applied to match a hat or dress. The eyebrow pencil has given way to the paint brush, and powder is nearly always- in a liquid form. It is chiefly used for the eyelids in green and mauve shades.
