SOCIAL ARD PERBONAL Mr. and Mrs Fred Nathan, of Palmerston North,_ are visiting Wellington for the races, and are staying with 'Mrs Jacob Joseph in Hobson street. Mr and Mrs Greenwood, of Christchurch, are in Wellington for the • races. < .Miss Rapley, of Wellington; is staying with Mrs J.' L. Bush in Invercargill. Mr and Mrs C. F. Rowe, of Wellington, are spending a few weeks in Christchurch. Miss Peache. Wellington, is the guest of Mrs Bullard, Papanui road. Christchurch. for a few days. Mr and Mrs W. Slattery, of Wellington. have been visiting Thames as 'the guests of Mrs Price. , Mrs Arthur Wigley and Miss Craig (England), who were with Mrs Wigley in Tiinaru have gone to ■ Wellington where they -have taken a house for a month. ~ - . Mr Norman Burton and Mrs Burton, of Auckland;, returned to Wellington by the’ Mahenb from a 12 trip in the, United Kingdom, and the Continent. They visited Italy and France, inspecting the old battlefields and the graveyards. The engagement is. announced in an exchango of Maisie, 1 eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs T. A. Marshall, of Wellington. formerly of; Masterton, to Neil: youngest son of Supt. and Mrs W. H. MacKinnon, of Christchurch. A. 6hingle ball was recently held in Sydney, prizes being given for the best biack shingle, best Monde shingle, best red shingle, best brown, shingle, and best buster haircuts. • A fancy dress, dance was held at the kiosk on Saturday night (states our Otaki correspondent), and quite a number attended. Some pretty and original costumes were in evidence, while the wearers appeared to have a most enjoyable'time'.'. Supper" was an item fully appreciated.

Natural complexions are to come into fashion again, rthe'Parisienne having rebelled against the pomade pot, the powder box. and the lipstick case. Nature. has triumphed over art, and the motive of the new make-up is to‘achieve the effect-W naturalness. though such an achievement on a complexion that has. long been accustomed to varied cosmetics is ‘the' hardest task of all for the beauty-maker. Skin that has been used to cqsmetics. is shy of appearing i unadorned; in. the light of day. If the new complexion, unadorned by the contents of the beauty pots, looks so unnatural that the 1 standard of naturalness is unobtainable, a make-up that has the closest resemblance to nature is Utilised.; This is of a subdued character,, and almost undiscernible. The high lights and deep spots of the modern face whSti made-up, however, are going completely out'of favour. Visitors, are often surprised to ' see woTnen still working in the public services in France, just as they did before the war. On the tramß the conductor is Frequently, a woman, especially in the outlying districts of the big towns (states a writer in an English exchange). Women, may also still be found upon the., railways, and in positions from which in England they would long ago have been ousted; by. the men whose places they temporarily»toek. The Tea bon is, of qoursp, that ip.Franoe there is.not only no unemployment,! but there is a great labour, shortage. There is no. prejudice against women as a work, ef —the .Frenchwoman, indeed, hap long Worked harder than most of the wiprld—an'd'there are no particular comparisons as to the qiirditv of .her work.

GUP BAY FROCKS TRENTHAM AT ITS BEST. BRILLIANT SUNSHADES. , Trentham certainly never looked better than It did yesterday for the opening day of the summer meeting. The lawns were in perfect condition, and the gardens gay with flowers, while cool groves of trees invited the visitors to linger out of ■ the heat of the sun. The new stands are now completed, and a tea room upstairs behind the main stand relieves the congestion below, while there is also a, pretty new tea room on the members’ stand, with ■bright pink curtains to the windows. Here delightful coolness was to be found, very welcome after the glare of the eun without. The frocks worn matched the day, lor rather the sunshades did, for the majority of , the smartest gowns were all in black and white, or black relieved with touches of vivid embroidery. In many cases, however, bright scarlet or floral patterned parasols 'were carried, as well as many of the fashionable Japanese sunshades,, and these made the general effect very gay indeed. ASCENDANCY OF BLACK. Black is certainly fhe fashionable wear, carried out chiefly in marocaini Or georgette finely pleated, the latter style being seen also a great deal in the fashionable fawn shade, which was also seen a good deal as well as lace in ecru shade, of very fine make. It is evident that dresses are growing shorter again, while judging by those who have recently returned from Englandthe “cloche”' hat has not yet had its day over there. VICE-REGAL PARTY. , _ This was the first Wellington meeting since the arrival of Their Excellencies the Governor-General and Lady Alice- Eergusson, who attended and were received by the president of the Racing dub.

JAZZ REVEL .. . . ■ ' ; A great many people have expressed a desire to dance to the music of the Havana Band which is appearing at the Opera. House just now, and in response,to many requests the J.

WOMAN’S VOICE; IN LAWMAKING In regard to those essential matters which affect via all equally as British citizens, an absolute community of interest exists between men ail'd women.. They want the same things, notably security of employment, cheap lood, de- , *1 ■ * Tl-.l nf '

i cent houses. But in respect of those J questions where women are ,still at, a 1 disadvantage as compared with men, that community of interest disappears. In addition to the things women want as'members of the-human family there are- the things they wan,t as women. Briefly stated, they are ■ Equality of status and opportunity: . ■ ■ . > ‘Nothing but legislation can deliver women from this double] disability.. So the non-party feminist organisation? demafid • from whatever Government may be in power the formulation of new-laws and‘the'.modification of old ones, to redress,-these grievance^. To-day the chief points upon the woman’s programme qre Equal Eranchise. Equal Rights, of Guardianship, - over Children, - Equal Pay for Equal Work in the Civil Service, and Peneions for Destitute .Widows. . -Secondary items include the right of married women to choose their nationality. and a rectification of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) .Ant, which. ( will enable peeresses in their own right to take their seats in the House of Lords. . It, is obvious that these demands concern 1 only ■ special categories of women. Even the agitation for equal franchise, refers only, to women' ‘between -the ages of ' 21 ad 30, while the question of equal guardianship interests mothers alone. But the underlying principle is of universal'application. These passionate, advocates of equality without regard to sex’ maintain that the redress of the injustice, under which certain classes; of- womOn suffer must ultitaately bene-, fit womanhood as a whole. i ; The girl who is content to. wait far , the vote until she is 30 and the mother who-finds no-inoonvenience in the fact that she baa no legal rights, oyer, her. own children would .scarcely , deny the theoretical value' of this: claim. ' Aua those, men who oppose the woman’s !programme do. so-not on the grounds.or principle,-hut on the grounds of ex- ; pediency, . . How. then, do the leaders of • the woman s movement propose to secure the -legislation they desire ? That is the question- It is, moreover, a .question’upon, which sharp differences of opinion' exist among women to-day. Hitherto they have been- content. t,o, urge, their claims Upon ea<&. ; suqcqsgjKe Government in the hope that the ;jiis-\ tice •of their: demands wqubjiead.to th% .introduction-in Parliament oT/the necessary ■ measures. .So far, however, boeir patience has gone unrewarded'. - a more dynamic spirit is beginning to animate the • -women’s organisations., Whv. as one of their leaders recently, asked, Should we go on tamely waiting and hoping when “like all minorities in the political field women will get only .as much as they organise for and demand effectually as a separate political force?’’ ' . > ‘ Tins separate political force -can mean nothing "hut the formation of a Women’s Party, prepared to support only those candidates for Parliament who'are'pledged' to fight for' their programme. ■ • Of course, , political reforms are always the work of an energetic minority .which refuses to take “no” for. bn ansfwOr. At the same time one sinrie manifest, injustice must lip. at the heart of such a campaign, if success is to he achieved. Desirable as the items (on the Woman’s Programme are. -there is. fn my opinion, no latent, inarticulate drive behind them, as there was in the case of the agitation for the suffrage. On the other hand, there,. is a far ■wider solidarity among women than there Was before the war. Considerable ‘ numbers of women might ioin _n a 'Carcittaifiti to secure things they do. not individually want if tliov a re,*-con-vinced* that Others are handicapped in their lives or in their ivork v*'o*it them.—Re- Devereux, in the’ “D.aily Chronicle.”

COOL BUMMER ORINKB How ref resiling -it is ton :a sultry summer evening to hear the cnink- of ice in a tall glass, and to taste the grateful coolness of a well-made cold drink-1 Experience may in tfttoe convince us of the greater efficiency of the more 'prosaic hot tea or coffee, but meanwhile we fall ready victims to the tempting fruit _drink in ,-its crystal jug.
