A Hanover-square dressmaker says that he has had the surprise of his life this autumn. It is the elderly women who still insist on having short skirts, and the young girls who clamour for those that are touching the floor. “A skirt can’t be too long to please a girl,” he added. Miss Edith Onians, secretary of the Melbourne Newsboys’ Society, who recently returned from an extended tour of the U.S. and Europe, told an interviewer that the U.S.A. has without doubt the finest child-guidance clinics in the world. “The American people," she said, “treat the young delinquent as such, not as a criminal. I attribute the success of welfare work there to the fact that all welfare workers are trained in sociology.” VISITORS’ LISTS. Mr and Mrs J. W. Franklin (Christchurch I, Mrs H. T.
