PIHAMA

(From Our Own Correspondent.) The Pihama School fancy dress ball held on Friday night was a great success from every point of view. The children had a rollicking time. During the evening a presentation was made to Neilson by Mis; Owen Holmes on behalf of the children as an appreciation of her services at the child ren's dances. Miss Neilson suitably responded. The supper arrangements were in the capable hands of Mesdames Allan, Butler, Faulkner, Jolley, Julian, Richards, Riley and Bheat. The judges, Misses Polletti and Henderson had a very hard task in awarding the prizes as all the dresses were excellent. The awards were finally made as follow;?: Juniors.—lst prize, "Flit" (Reggie Riley). 2nd prize, "Witch" ('Alice Williams); special, "Bathroom" (Maureen Conaglen). Seniors.—lst prize, "Chinaman" (Don Forsyth); 2nd prize "Cigarette" (Agnea Forsyth); special "Bowser" (Margaret Allan).

The other afternoon a well-dres-sed dame entered the "smoker" of an Auckland tram. The only vacant seat was next to a working man who was puffing clouds of smoke from a foul briar. He chanced to be the only smoker present. The lady glanced with disgust at her neighbour. "My good man," said she, at last, "do vou know pipe smoking always makes me ill?" "Do it, now, mum?" queried 'the good man', "then you take my tip an 'knock it orf!" Everybody laughed—bar the lady. Well, the smoke of some tobaccos would make I I__ 1 ril II « l>

anvbody feel ill." Excess of nicotine in the leaf. Bad stuff to smoke. Play* up with heart and nerves. National Tobacco Company's goods don't do that. They are all toasted. That destroys the nicotine and renders them harmless. The Company are the pioneers of the tobacco industry in N.Z. Ask for their "Riverhead Gold" (mild) "Navy Cut" or "Cavendish" (medium), or "Cut Plug No. 10" (full strength). These pure tobaccos are procurable from tobacconists everywhere."
