100 GUINEA CORSETS FREE.

TO BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG "TIMABU HERALD" READERS. WRITE A POSTCARD AND WIN - ONE. ■ A Guinea pair of Corsets Free to 100 readers, of the "Timaru Herald" is the generous, offer announced by Messrs. WEINGARTEN BROS., ,tlie makers of tlie famous " W. 8.", corsets. The selection of the fortunate 100 is to be decided, by a simple and pleasurable competition, in which every woman in New Zealand, whether she live in a mansion .or in a cottage will have an equal chance of success. The nature of this competition is fully described in a beautifully, printed and illustrated book issued by this well-known firm, entitled "The W. B. Beauty Book." It-is impossible in this space to do more than merely outline the competition, but it may be stated that NO GREATER ABILITY THAN THAT OF WRITING A POSTCARD IS NECESSARY TO-ENTER IT. This alone gives to all classes of women an equal chance of success, but that is rendered still more certain by an ingenious scheme that absolutely prevents unfair competition. New Zealand has been divided into sections according to population so that a lady living in a large city like Auckland is not placed in competition against, a woman living, say, in a small country township. In fact, the competition lias been ,so carefully/ arranged that equality of : opportunity among ; all sorts and conditions of competitors is made absolutely certain. BOOK FOR THE BOUDOIR.

The regulations governing the- competition—which is of a nature that appeals strongly to ladies —are very simple, and are fully set forth in the book already referred to. There is, it may be stated, no entrance fee, and the book giving details of the competition will be sent free to every applicant. It is a dainty and charming production, and altogether a triumph of the printing art. It deals with practically every phase of feminine beauty culture, and explains how EVERY woman ,can improve her figure, carriage, complexion, and general appearance. In.fact, apart altogether from the competition; it is a book; that ought to find a place in every .woman's boudoir, especially as a copy can now be obtained free of all cost. The cover is an artistic introduction to the contents, and the subjects treated are .both varied and interesting. Massage, the use of cosmetics, physical, exercises for improving the figure, the part of the corset plays .in feminine beauty, are some of the matters dealt with, the letterpress being illustrated by beautiful photographs and drawings. VALUABLE BEAUTY HINTS.

Numerous hints are also, given on the management of the hair, the treatment of wrinkles, blackheads, freckles, moles, and other facial blemishes, the care of the hands and nails, and the cure of chilblains. An interesting chapter illustrated by an explanatory'series of photographs, is one dealing with the correct method of lacing and putting on a corset, in which many valuable tips are given. In fact, the book in every way fulfills its title and deals' with the culture of " Woman's Figure, Health and Beauty" in the most thorough manner. - y-'-The competition is now running, so ladies who wish to enter will .enhance their chance of success by writing for a free copy of the book at once.' Applications should be addressed to Messrs Weingarten Bros., Dept. G., . Block Arcade, Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, and every application will be dealt with strictly in the order of its _ arrival. Each day's delay will jeopardise your prospect of winning one of the 100 guinea corsets...
