ART OF DRESSING THE HAIR No woman should be governed by the dictates of fashion in the matter •of her hair-dressing. Hair must be dressed to suit the face. The long, thin face, for instance, does not appear at its best with the hair strained back on the top of the head. This type requires width at the sides .-° give the appearance of fulness, which is lacking. On the other _ hand, a somewhat full round fkoe is often spoilt by full puffs of hair over the ears. Small, boyish faces undoubtedly lend theillselves to the bobbed hair dressing, or the boyish styles, while Madonna types should always see that their hairdressing is of the classic style. Perfect classic, features are ruined by fluffy coiffures. These types need a certain severity. The piquant face with merry eyes, tip. tilted nose and dimples, Ipoks charming with fluffy curls, and should never be withut them in some form or another. ! Middle partings are most diffiouit to wear and should never be cultivated |b(y anyone whose features are rather inclined to hardness. A side parting is much softer. WEEKEND HOLIDAYS If only more people would realise the beneficial effect of the week-end holiday! It is worth dozens of bottles of tonics. It has often been argued that.a man gets through more hard work than a “woman without feeling any' ill-effecte. In nine oases out of 10, this will ho found to be due to the fact that near.* ly every man who is working at high pressure finds* time to put in a weak-/ end occasionally at the seaside or in the country. This keeps him fit, aijd prevents •“nerves” from over-strain And-/he re is another difference bo, tween the butffness man and the business woman, The man on holiday usually leaves his work behind him. When he goes on holiday work not enter bis head until he returns ■on Monday morning, to the office. Women on holiday are 1 fax too prone to talk “isbjop,” with the result that actually their work never leaves thqm This js a great mistake. The best sort of change for anyone who is wording, bard is to get right' away from the atmosphere of work; let the interests be entirely fresh and the surroundings healthful. The ideal week-end is the one that is taken without trouble or fuss. Longdistance journeys and any place which requires a quantity of toilettes should be avoided, Otherwise the week-end is going- to be a labour instead of are si;. A simple change of raiment ought to he all that is necessary for any ordinary week-end. RULES FOR JAM MAKING As the jam-making season is fast approaching it is well to remember certain rules if perfect results are to be obtained. 1. Gather the fruit on a dry day, and choose sound and just ripe fruit. If buying it do npt purchase very watery-look-ing, bruised fruit. 2. Use absolutely clean ' enamelled, aluminium or brass pans,._and rub the bottom over with a little butter, margarine; ior sweet oil, to prevent the jam sticking.' 3. Use wooden or silver spoons for stirring, as inferior metal ones discolour the jam, 4. Preserving, loaf or granulated eugar should be chosen for jam-making, inferior sugars throw up so much scum that no saving is effected by using them. 5 Keep the jam well skimmed. 6. Fruit should be simmered gently until soft, but after the sugar is added, stir until it dissolves, then boil fast. Jam should bubble really hard all over. 7. To test when jam is boiled enough put a spoonful on a pl,ate, and leave it in a cool place. If it sets or a thin film forms on it, the jam is ready. Draw the pan to one side of the fire while testing the jam, as if it is ready the jam becomes over-boiled.

8. The jars must be perfectly clean and dry. After wiping them, leave them on the rack over the fire, or in a cool oven, so theft they are hot when the jam is put into them, and therefore not liable to crack.

9. To cover the jam.—After filling the jars quite full, cut some rounds of wax or tissue paper, to fit the inside of the jars. Dip these in some spirit, such as brandy, whisky, or gin, and place them over the jam. Cover the top and partly down the sides of the jars with parchment or gummed papers. A double round of newspaper brushed over with a paste made of flour and water may be used for the outer cover if preferred. 10. Fix a label on each jar, inscribed with the name of the jam and the date on,.which it was made. IT. Store the jam in a cool, dry place. 12. To prepare the fruit.—Wipe or wash it; remove all stalks. Apples, pears and -quince should be peeled, cored, and cut. in quarters. Stone fruit is either stoned before making it into jam, or ’a slit is made in the fruit, and the stones bejcome loosened while boiling, and rise to the top of the jam, when they may be skimmed off. -

Peaches, apricots, nectarines are peeled, cut in halves, and the stones removed. Some of these are cracked,'and the kernels added to the jam. Soft berries, such as currants, raspberries, and so on, should be put into a colander and held under a running tap. Turn the fruit over so that it ij, washed thoroughly.

Reference was made' to- speed-limits at the'meeting of the executive of the South Island (N.Z.) Motor Union at Christchurch. The chairman (Mr J. S. Hawkes) stated that an American judge had imprisoned everyone exceeding a certain speed-limit. Mr N. M. Orbell expressed the opinion that there should be no speed-lfmits, but the question should rest as to whether a man was driving in a manner dangerous to the public or npt. The secretary! (Mr P. R. Hafman) said that in Sydney, Melbourne, and New York, no speed-limits were fixed.
