AT THE Y.AV.C.A. ROOAIS

Tho attractive rooms of the Young Women's Christian Association looked particularly bright and cheerful yesterday, and over eighty members lunched there between the hours of 12 and 2 o’clock. Instead of sitting at small tables grouped about the room. The girls formed one big merry party*and wero thus enabled To fulfil the twofold object of tho “special lunch day.” Firstly, the members became better acquainted with one another, and thus will encourage the “esprit do corps” which is so necessary in all associations; and secondly, they were enabled to discuss the plan for providing funds for furnishing, etc. .The girls are desirous of doing this themselves, so propose to hold a “Market Day” three months hence, so from now on many and varied plans for attracting “marketers” will bo discussed by the various groups, and as tho girls of this association are. particularly enthusiastic about everything they undertake, something very interesting may bo looked forward to. They will be assisted in their efforts by some of the ladies’ committee. It was a charming sight yesterday, tho long tables, arranged “T wise,” wero decorated with scarlet and white flowers, and each “lunchor” received a spray of the same colours to wear, and a printed slip explaining tho object of “market day.” Mrs Kersley and Mrs Ilislop, with willing helpers, took charge of the lunch arrangements. Miss Birch presiding. Music, which was greatly appreciated, was provided by Miss Evans. Miss Shirtcliffe. hud Miss Q. Johnson. Tho senior girls at each lunch sitting expressed thanks on behalf of the others, and at tho same time referred to tho great appreciation they all felt for the institution of the lunch room. There tho girls could spend a quiet hour, and rest or read, chat oy sew according to their wish, and tho fact that they attended in such numbers was sufficient proof that the hour of rest was enjoyed.

BEAUTY WORSHIP. i In all parts of the world, in all shapes and forms, every man admires beauty; whether it is the colouring of a sunset or the break of a-wind-swept wave, it arouses expressions of admiration. But it is generally admitted that the two most beautiful things in the world are flowers and women—the latter receiving probably more homage and admiration than their silent rivals. Therefore it behoves all women to bo ; beautiful or to as nearly approach that happy state as they are able to. It is simply marvellous what tremendous improvements in appearance can be effected with car© and scientific treatment. Madame Hullcn, of Boalcott street, has recently produced a boautifler that acts like a charm, and in the most natural manner bringing the fresh, rejuvenating colour to one's cheeks, and at the same time filling out and building up any tissue that has lost tone. The name of this preparation is “ Rusmarino ’’—the oxygenated and hygienic skin food. And all who have taken Madamo’s advice and used Rusmarino are speaking in terms of the highest praise.—Advt.
