The marriage took place in London last Thursday of Lieutenant R. H. A. Kidston, formerly attached to the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy, serving in the Diomede, and Lady Georgina Curzon, daughter of Earl and Countess Howe. A wedding of New Zealand interest, to take place at a London synagogue on January 8, is that between Miss Joan Annette Tuck, a daughter of Sir Reginald Tuck, Bart., and Lady Tuck, and Mr Alwyn Eric Bolton, only son of Mr and Mrs Eugene Bolton, of Gill Wood End, Wadhurst, Sussex, wrote a London correspondent on November 9. Sir Reginald and Lady Tuck now have a beautiful country home in Sussex, but they have so many friends in London that the wedding will take place. Women will soon be wearing “horsehair” shirts for cocktail hour suits. The vogue originated in a small white dress salon off Bond Street, where a clever young English dress designer is trying out new ideas for those, who desire something unusual in the way of personality clothes. Fine horsehair Is woven into a canvaslike net, supple yet crisp, and not unpleasant to wear. It is mounted on soft silk chiffon, in black, to match a smart tunic shirt. A skirt of black slipper satin, also Victorian in Its “stand-alone” qualities, cut on the new slim line, completes this suit. Try brushing your hair the wrong’ way when strands look lank and lifeless. Work from the nape of the neck upwards with a swift short stroke. Many an unsuspected curl can be coaxed in by this method. When giving a special lotion or ointment to the scalp, it should always be rubbed in with an up and down movement, not from side to side. Lift the scalp up with the fingers and push it down again. This movement invigorates the hair roots better than anything else. Polish the hair with a silk handkerchief; it will give an attractive gloss. Fashions to Follow.—Braid on winter coats. You can buy ready-made the fashionable drum-major frogs and sew them on last year’s winter coat. . . . Also cheer up a despondent-looking day dress with braid. White braid worked cleverly on neck and cuff figures on ,he smartest models in .e new collections. Velvet on Everything. On your day dresses velvet collars, on your heads velvet caps, on your hands ruched vel. et muffs. Round your throats velvet scarves. Fashions to Avoid.—Halo hats for those who are not-so-young. Clinging draperies for those who are not-so-slim. Swagger coats for those who are very tall—for the extra fullness makes a statuesque girl look like the Chrysler Building. Too ornate embroidery on day d-'sses. Hard metallic colours in the evening.
