HITHER AND HITHER

NV.D.F.V. Girls’ T>ip to Exhibition. The North Canterbury executive of the Women’s Division of the Farmers’ Union are taking about 60 country girls —memoers of tha W.D., or daughters of members, on a threc-days educational trip to the Centennial Exhibition at the end of this month. The girls will be accompanied by four chaperones. Make Your Own Faxie Masks. In case you like to make sour own face masks, here are two for you to try: Separate the yolk and the white of one egg. Beat the white slightly and apply thickly with a small brush. When this is dry, give a second application. You should now have used ail the egg-white. Then, when this second application is dry, paint on the beaten yolk and allow this to dry. Leave on for an hour then wash oil with hot water. Follow with a few minutes’ massage with a nourishing cream. Before applying this masK the skin should be thoroughly cleansed with cream and w'iped over with skin tonic. If you paid many guineas you could not have a better treatment than this. And here is another mask that does the skin a world of good: Two tablespoonsful of cooked oatmeai, four tablespoonsful of glycerine, two tablespoonsful of rose water. Mix these ingredients 1o a thin paste. When this mask has hardened, as soon as it is thoroughly dry, rinse off with tepid water. Things Are* Not What They Seem. In many countries scientific research has been at work io create ! synthetic substances that will take I the place of raw materials which are difficult to obtain in times of national stress. That things are not what they seem may be 4 self-evident fact in tne future, when we look at sneer stockings and discover that they are not made of silk, but of nylon, a product of coal. Or for further disillusionment, we may discover that frocks are not of silk, wool, or cotton, but are made from glass, grass, soya beans, bamboo, or skim milk. It doesn't seem possible that these things could come to pass, but it has been stated that the processes by which

I -- I these materials are produced have already been perfected. Glass, winch k> a discovery that is almost as old as time itself, has been put tu new uses |of universal magnitude. First dis- ; covered by the Phoenicians thousands I of .years ago, the way in which glass {has been adapted to modern invention is one of the greatest scientific achievements of our time..
