Preliminary arrangements were considered. and Mrs W. A. Ryder kindly offered 1o make the cake, and Mrs Reg. Hickmott to ice it. Invitations, it was decided, would be sent to the Brooklyn, . Umukuri and Motueka branches.'

Mrs Cochrane, of Riwaka. who was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, celebrated her 89th birthday yesterday. The roll call—“My oldest pres session” —resulted in some very old and very interesting articles being exhibited. The social competition arranged by Mrs Lcs. Drummond was won by Mrs R. Bate, and the delegates* prize, donated by Mrs Bate, went to Mrs D. Bradley. For the points competition, an article made from two skeins of wool, there was a record number of entries, fourteen articles having to be judged. Results were as follows: Mrs Silke 1, Mrs R. Cook 2. and Mrs D. Bradley 3. The toy dog worked in crochet, placed first, was very much admired, also the doll’s cutfit, which took second place, and the child’s garment coming next.

The president announced that at the August meeting a demonstration would be given, the points competition would be a jardiniere made from a tin, Mrs Lyell Drummond would arrange the competition for the delegate’s prize, and Mesdames F. Silke. S. Barnett and E. Sparks would be the hostesses.

the natural boundaries of the lips for daytime wear.

You can make full lips a trifle thinner or thin lips a trifle fuller by keeping the lip rouge a hairline’s distance inside or outside of the natural line of your lips. The least bit more will be obvious and unattractive.

Rouge and eyeshadow, too. must leave clean lines. In this case, however, the lines are not sharply defined, but blended deftly from the centre of deepest shading into the natural skin tones. Any irregularity in this shading, any smudges, streaks or blotches mar the clearness and artistry of the make-up job.

There are “lines” to be avoided, too, if you want that clean look. Be sure that your neck receives the same makeup treatment as your face —the same foundation, if possible—and always the same complexion powder. Sometimes a woman prefers a liquid make-up base for her neck because she feels that it it more permanent than a cream base. If you feel this way about it, be sure that the cream and liquid are the same shade.

Blend your make-up continuously from the forehead to the base of the neck. Nothing is quite so unattractive as a heavy powder line along the jaw, or a neck that is several shades darker than the face. Watch the back of your neck, too. It needs at least two cleansings during the day to keep it free from dark streaks that come from winter’s soot and dust and the constant rubbing of scarves and collars.

By the way. one of the magnifying j mirrors will help you in creating perfectly blended make-up effects or sharply etched lines. It will also be useful calling your attention to minor blemishes or skin defects that you ; might otherwise overlook.
