A' very enjoyable euchre party and dance was held in tho Dalefield Town Hall on Tuesday night. Mr Ticehurst was in charge of the euchre room, and Mr L. Tunnicliffe was M.C. for the dancing. Mrs Lee won tho first prize for ladies in the euchre games, Mr F. Hercock gaining first in the gentlemen’s section, the consolation prizes falling to Mrs Hercock and Mr R. Zillwood respectively. Mr A. Hooper played the dance music, extras being given by Misses J. Knowles and H. Jensen, and Mr. F. Hooper. Tho supper arrangements were in charge of Mesdames Meyrick and Tunnicliffe and Miss Henderson.

The latest expression "tingling,” is a suggestion of very light curls, tho effect being produced not with long hair, but with growing hair that has been bobbed and left rather longer than usual. Tho ends arc very cleverly curled into ringlets and bunched by means of a small ornament set just below the curve of the head. -

Boudoir suits aro growing in popularity and some arc really beautiful. Though they are simple in design they .-.re of very lovely material. For instance, a rose satin pyjama suit would have to go with it a very charming boudoir coat of rose satin quilted by hand in an elaborate floral design.

What jewels can one wear with sports clothes? (asks a London writer). This is a question all the smartest women are puzzling their brains to decide. I saw a delicious necklet the other day, at an exclusive Mayfair shop, that seemed exactly the thing to accompany our beloved woollies. Lying flatly round the base of the throat, and set in gold, this fascinating ornament consisted of large opaque semiprecious stones, each one a different hue. Rose-quartz, lapis-lazuli, jade cornelian, and amber were some of tho stones used.

Silver belts are worn with stockinette jumper suits. These belts are often very novel and amusing. Ono consists of a series of flat square plaqms, on each one of which is traced tho figure of an animal. The buckle is formed by two elephants with their trunks crossed to make the actual fastener. Another is simply a rather wide tteel chain fastened by a miniature padlock. Then there is the guild of golden sovereigns (false alas, but very companionable). Inspired by these belts, silver and metal brooches are making a reappearance, solving happily the problem of what to wear on a jumper suit.

A good word is said for short =kirts by Mr H. L. Kenworthy, who has just retired from the service of the London Metropolitan Electric Tramways after driving for 47 years, says an exchange. He says they help to solve the traffic [Toblem! In an interview he remarked: "Women and girls jump on the cars quicker now than ever they did. They never tread on their oetticoats—because they couldn’t if they tried! There are none of the old delays caused by women wrestling with their trailing skirts and gathering them up or tripping over them when getting on a car, and this means a great saving of time to traffic. Girls, in fact, are far speedier than men now in climbing on and off trams and buses," he said. Mr Kenworthy has driven horse, steam and electric trams about 1,184,400 miles, and carried some 33,840,000 people.
