OKAIAWA BIRTHDAY PARTY.

MISS AUDREY BETTS HONOURED.

A party in honour of the coming-of-age of Miss Audrey Betts was held recently at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mr% E. J. Betts, Okaiawa. About 60 relatives and friends were present The toast of the evening was proposed by Mr. E. A. Washer, who congratulated Miss Betts on her coming-of-age and expressed good- wishes. A birthday cake decorated with 21 kewpies was cut and distributed. Miss Betts was presented with a large golden key autographed by those present, and she made a fitting reply to the speeches. The toast of “The Parents” was proposed by Mr. O. Crawford and replied to by Mr. E. J. Betts, who expressed pleasure at such a large gathering of friends. A large collection of gifts was presented to Miss Betts, who was wearing a model frock of saffron and brown and carried a posy of maidenhair fern and spring blooms. Songs were contributed by Mr. G. P. Cottrell and a display of conjuring was given by Mr. E. K. Cameron. Flag five hundred and dancing pleasantly occupied the evening.

BRONZE HAIR THE FASHION.

The red-haired woman and the woman with a crowning glory of chestnut hued hair is now on the crest of the wave (states a Paris writer). Bronze-blonde is the correct name for the new hairshade. And if a girl wants to be fashionable her shingle or curls must be bronzeblonde, or nothing. As henna is employed for this purpose, there is no deleterious influence to the hair to be feared; on the contrary, red henna is excellent for the hair, and girls need fear no more to leave their locks in the bottom.' of the basin in which their coiffeur has been dyeing their hair. Makeup is altering to suit the new tone for the hair. There are pale cheeks now, and natural “lip-sticks” are superseding the bright reds. Black eye-lashes, however, are more important than ever.
