OFFICE GIRLS’ UNIFORM
A NEW DEPARTURE The typists and office girls employed at the Wanganui City Council's headquarters have instituted uniforms for wear during working hours. The garments chosen are light over-dresses, of black material, with white buttons, and the lettering "W.C.C.” on the pocket. The revolutionary idea is said to have started when one girl’s frock was ruined by red ink, and it undoubtedly has much to commend it. The uniforms were made, in one gross order, by a local dressmaking firm, and they deprive the charming wearers of none of their girlish bloom.
