Smart Coats. So trim and smart in style are the new season’s spring coats at “Rosie Lee’s’’ Frock (Salon, Avenue. In this shipment- is a nice selection of black coats for matrons’ wear, made of wool georgette. Wool rib and smart tweeds arc the materials for other coats. There are some flattering styles among the floral frocks and ensembles. All are inexpensively priced.* Domestic Service Training,

The suggestion that greater attention should be paid to the training of young girls for domestic service was made by a deputation which waited on the board of managers of the tteddon Memorial Technical College, Auckland, this week. It was suggested that the girls might be trained at the college. There had been difficulty in placing girls in positions due to lack ot training. Alany unemployed girls had applied to the Women’s Unemployment Committee, but they failed .to secure positions because they had not the qualifications for domestic service. It was considered that a short-course school was absolutely imperative. Birthday Party.
