GIRL GUIDE UNIFORM
WEARING OF SHORTS A suggestion that Girl Guides ehould wear shorts in camp has roused some of tho older generation to indignant protest. In a letter to the magazine Guider one of these, signing herself "Early Victorian," draws a pathetic picture of somewhat corpulent commissioners doing "chores" and attending public functions in shorts, tho argument being that if the concession is made for camp use it will gradually become the regulation costume. . On the other hand, it is contended that in camp shorts would be a much more convenient and tidy attire than the present overall, bulging above and below the belt. On another point of Girl Guide .attire it is recorded in tho magazine that the Imperial Council of the movement had decided that brown shoes and stockings are henceforth to be tho regulation uniform. This question has yet to be discussed by tho Now Zealand commissioners.
