A stern war on the price of washing is being waged by the French Undersecretary of Food (states the Paris correspondent of the “Manchester Guardian”). He demands that 20 per cent, be immediately taken off all washing bills, and threatens the corporation of washerwomen with a lawsuit if it fails to comply. Every night heated meetings are held o-f the leading houses to discuss the situation, but as yet no move has been taken. The price of “blanchissage” to-day is more than four time© what it was before the war. Most of the increase is put down to the exorbitant price of coal. To-day coal prices have fallen greatly, but the washerwomen and their companies seem satisfied with the present price of a shilling for shirts, three shillings for a sheet, etc.- Exasperated! by tins profiteering, a company is being formed of society ladies on the co-operative principle, to compete with the present union. Artificial eyelashes, a distracting do vice for the augmentation of feminine charm, which originated in America, have become popular for evening wear m Paris. After a quarter of an hour’s careful work, they are guaranteed to put soulfulness and a- trusting expression into the most lack-lustre orbs. Tiny strips, of flesh-coloured adhesive tape are usod to gum the sweeping lashes to the lids. Another method of attachment involves the use of white of egg, but as the artificial hairs are brittle, and must subsequently be removed, the process of unfastening is paipful. The old Australian favourite, Miss : Grace Palotta, intends trying her luok with the “movies” in TT.S.A. Some time ago she went to Colombo to visit her old friend, Rose Musgrove, who Is married'to a rich tea-planter. From there she goes op. to Europe, and then Los Angeles. A number of ladies of the' Carterton Red Cross Society paid a. visit to the, Repatriation Earm, Tauhereniikau, on Sunday, and distributed various comforts to trainees. Mrs T-. W. Porter, .organiser of the Women's National Reserve, is visiting i Featherston to-day. One of the ob- | jeets of her visit is the organisation | of a,, committee to take oare of the; soldiers’ graves in the cemetery. The Mayoress,- Miss Card, has been advised by the Internal Affairs Department; that. aIV the new crosses will be erected before. Anzae Day. Lady Macready, wife of General Sir Nevil Macready, has left the Royal Hospital, . which is the Government House of Dublin, for Egypt. Her sister, Miss Susie Atkin,., who showed ■such kindness to bur “boys” when they were in Egypt, lives in Alexandria. . . Do you never look at yourself when you abuse another ? To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. ' Growing thought' makes growing revelation. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. WOMEN CANDIDATES. ' At the Baptist Hall, Brooklyn, last night, Mrs K. Preston and Miss N. If. Goad addressed the electors and were listened to most attentively by a large number of. their . supporters. .. Crabtree was in' tliel'cliair. Mi's Presston first touched about the housing question. On this matter she holds very strong views, and said- that a decided improvement must he made; also it is the duty of the City CoUhcil to see the smaller, houses in .our city areas are made hfebitable. , Mrs Preston pointed out various improvements that could with advantage be made in the tramway seirvice by linking up various areas. Street cleaning was also dealt until, swimming baths at - Thorndon were- also advocated. ; Playing . areas for the children and' the laying out of the city were, touched upon. Miss Goad then addressed the electors, and said wfiat a suitable place Brooklyn was to have baths built,' that the water could be quit© easily taken from the reservoii, and they were, a much-felt want. The grJbuihd opposite thje school could be used as a playing area for the young people out of school hours, properly supervised.. Miss Coad also advocated more rest rooms? and conveniences for women, and saicL it . was imperative that a town like Wellington should have up-to-date markets, and that if the women candidates were elected to the council they would require all the help possible from their supporters, so that gradually thev might gain the much-improved needs of this town. A vote of thanks to the candidates for their able addresses was given. THE SAILORS' FRIEND SOCIETY.
