Turn kina Women’s Institute. The sale of goods and dance arranged for to-day by the Turakina Women’s Institute has been cancelled until further notice.

Air Force Relations. Nori-knitters are reminded to bring needles and black thread to the next meeting of the Air Force Relations to be held next Monday. Khaki Club Dance. This evening in the Union Boat Club Social Hall, the Khaki Club will hold the first of a series of fortnightly dances to entertain officers, n.c.o.’s and men of the New Zealand Scottish Regiment now in camp. Carlton Hall Dance. At the Carlton Hall to-night the weekly dance will take place. Among the attractions offered are good music, Monte Carlos, and a variety of dances. Patrons are assured of a pleasant evening's entertainment at this popular dance rendezvous. A Window Display. Some of the costumes to be worn by the different teams taking part in the girls’ marching display next week are being shown in the corner window at McGruer’s. Displayed on models the costumes, in their military styles and various colourings, look most effective. Banners and trophies accompany the display which is capturing and holding the interest of passers-by. As all the twelve local teams cannot be represented at the one time, other costumes will later take the place of those at present being shown. Sutcliffe School of Radiant Living. “Aspiration," the school motto for 1941, was eloquently and inspiringly lectured upon by the president, Mr. E. R. Prince (A.T.R.L.) at the weekly school meeting. Mrs. Dorothy Sutherland gave a resume of the summer school at Wellington under the title ' Co-operation and Efficiency.” There was a large number of visitors present and quantities of brilliant flowers adorned every available space, which added to the radiant atmosphere together with the gay frocks of the teachers. Miss Dawn Sullivan commenced proceedings with conducting the singing. The weekly message of the founder, was delivered by Miss Al ce Gwynn and Mrs. Myrtle Garrett ably led the school in stating “My Purpose.” The physical exercises were greatly appreciated and were well conducted by Miss Sally Cassells, of Lunedin.

Taller Heroines In Films. We are to see taller heroines in the films, according to the latest news from Hollywood. Tall, willowy beauties are to shine in some of the newest pictures. For a number of years, even back to the silent days, little women have had the best chances, but the taller ones are getting more attention these days, following a few years of discouragement. Several tall stars to be seen in coming films will be about sft. Bin. in height. Leading men are always supposed to be taller than the leading lady and many a film hero has his shoes built up a couple of inches so that he appears to be taller on the screen than the heroine. It would seem that film actors will be chosen in future for their height, or for as long as taste demands tall beauties to play opposite them. Film darlings of the past were decidedly small in statue and many of the screen’s heroines are still the little type. Mothers! Have you planned a career for your daughter? Why not have her taught dressmaking at the "Hollywood School of Dressmaking,” 144 Victoria Ave. (near McGreur’s). Enrolments now being taken.’
