A pleasant afternoon was spent in Abe’s Hall, Opoutama, when members and friends of the Opoutama Women’s Institute gathered for the December meeting. Proceedings opened with the ode, which was followed by the motto :

“And now, with purpose full and clear, we turn to meet another year.” Beautiful bouquets in the institute colors were presented to the president, vice-president, and secretary by Mcsdames Jobson and Johnstone. The rollcall, “Your birthplace,” brought forth a good response. Enjoyable songs were rendered by Mrs. Faram, Misses Nola Gibson, Freesia Rarere, and some little school children. A memory test competition was won bv Mrs. James, and a mystery parcel by Miss Donna Scott. A dainty afternoon tea was dispensed, after which everyone received a Christmas gift from the institute.

More changeable than the weather are the changes that take place in the styles and fashions of women’s hairdressing. To be modern, the dictates must be followed out to the last curl, and no matter how much care and attention you may spend on your dress, unless your hair is equally up-to-date. all your efforts will be in vain. A woman herself does not always know' which particular style of hairdressing will best suit her, and this is where the advice of an expert is so essential. There is no one more qualified to give you sound and helpful advice than Miss Alice Ryan, recently arrived here from one of the leading beauty parlors in New Zealand, to take over the direction of Maison Owen. Next time you’re passing drop in and see her and have a chat about your hair, or phone 100 for an appointment. Consultations fpee,*
