You have all been waiting for the winter sales to commence, in order to buy all the warm winter clothes you are needing. This year you are rather fortunate as on account of unseasonable weather, several of the large stores have opened their sales much earlier than in other years. Bargains are bigger and better than ever. George and Doughty announce a special sale of showroom goods. Now you will have the opportunity of securing smart warm frocks at cost price. Exclusive model frocks direct from England are showing in all the wanted shades and new season’s materials. Chic little models in woven materials and featuring the newest styles and trimmings sell at 22s 6d, whilst a shipment of frocks in chevron, beautifully cut and finished are priced as low as 39s 6d. See the new Viyella frocks and blouses, too. They are most reasonable and just the thing for present wear. Of course, as usual George and Doughty have catered for all and these distinctive frocks are in all sizes from S.S.W. to O.S. Everything in the showroom has been marked down to bedrock.

Now that each week holds some dance or ball, it is essential that you are looking at your .best, and to do this you simply must pay regular visits to a good beauty salon. The reason why the discriminating woman prefers the Melbourne Beauty Salon, is that she knows that she may confidently put herself in the hands of the competent staff of trained assistants, who under the personal supervision of Mr. J. A. Pankhurst, are thoroughly expert in all classes of beauty work. The latest equipment has been installed in this up-to-date salon, and permanent waving,- marcelling, tinting and cutting are carried out at most moderate rates. Why not make the “Melbourne” your beauty salon? You will be thrilled with the results. For appointment ring telephone 1188. # # # #

The most looked for events in the Taranaki dance season are taking place shortly. Now is the time to think about that dance frock, and I see that McGruers are carrying a fine stock of frocks. Something just a little different is what every woman wants, and McGruers certainly have the very newest possible. For dinner or bridge wear they are showing gowns in gorgette and lace, and in the new serge a mure, in shades of black, brown and navy, featuring the long sleeved styles so appreciated by the matron. Oh! have you seen the new cocktail frocks? McGruers have several delightful different styles in these. One particularly striking model is in black ring velvet, with a tunic coatee in flame metal-thread lame. A cowled effect is carried out at the neckline and again in the sleeves, which are lined with black velvet. These frocks sell at McGruers at a surprisingly low figure. « •* 4 #

There was a time, and not so very long ago, when real Irish table linen was out of the reach of the average person. Wholesale Sample Rooms have made it possible for everyone to have beautiful linen at wholesale prices. They now announce the arrival of a very fine line of all-linen table sets in all sizes and in many different styles. A pure white set, with six serviettes to match and beautifully hemstitched, costs only 18s 6d. Then for those who prefer coloured bordercloths there are attractive sets complete with serviettes in sizes from 45in. by 45in. to 90in. by 54in. For the home, or for an appreciable gift, these are unbeatable value. See them at Wholesale Sample Rooms, Hookers’ Buildings, Egmont Street, New Plymouth. # <; . * #

Six bibs, four frocks, four tlfiy singlets, four tiny petticoats, six woolly vests, and lots of lovely things! They were all bought recently at C. C. Ward’s Ltd by a very new grandma for a very new baby. She was telling me all about the lovely baby clothes this firm stocks, and I noticed to-day that they have a special window display of everything for

the precious baby. Hand knitted woolly coats and frocks, pilchers, warm cot blankets and the shawls are so soft and Cosy looking. While talking about shawls, C- C. Ward’s Ltd have just the very thing you have been hunting for to make an everyday shawl for baby, beautiful fine quality cream flannel, 46in. wide, which sells at a low price. # # 4

The family will quite forgive you next time you are detained in town and cannot get home in time to cook tea jf you take home something tempting from Harston’s pork and small goods shop. You will find this shop has all kinds of good things to choose from and guaranteed to tempt the appetite. Pressed beef, delicious cooked pork, poultry for Sunday’s dinner. And have you tried their pork sausages? They are the best ever. Take some home next time you are in town and you will never have any other. # # # *

Yesterday I was talking to a lady who told me that a visitor who has been stayingwith her for the show was so taken with the new “Procera” bread, that every time she went to town she bought a and when she left for her home in the country on Monday she took six loaves with her for the kiddies at home. Thoughtful mother! Well, she realised that “Procera” is the ideal loaf for children, for not only does it contain less starch than ordinary bread, but it is higher in food values; it has more flavour and, what is best of all to the growing child, more protein. Be like this other wise mother and change to "Procera.” May ana Sons Ltd. are the sole makers of this new process bread in Taranaki, which is acclaimed by medical authorities for its great energy building powers. “Procera” is the bread which will not go stale. * # # *

See Gracie Fields—see May Robson! See “Marionette the Gipsy” at the Hawera Show, June 25, to 29. Let me

give you a gipsy’s warning. It’s a long lane that has no yearning. Where there is a frill, there’s a fray. A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck, so don’t

let the talkies talk you out of this. Now don’t forget, be sure to see Marionette tlie Gipsy when you visit the forthcoming winter show at Haw.era this month.
