Miss M. Kelly, late manageress of Maeder, has taken over this popular and well-established business and clients are assured tn expert treatment in all branches of beauty culture.*

Spring Delicacies It’s surprising isn’t it, what a difference the spring fruit and vegetables make to the greengrocers’ windows? The delicate green of asparagus anc? new gooseberries make a perfect foil for the rich hue of hot-houie tomatoes. The first strawberries of the season appeared in a Wanganui shop a few days ago. Later will come the cherries, red currants and raspberries to add to the tempting display. Only those with the deenest purges could possibly afford the luscious berries which go so well with cream, or ice cream. Just at present a halfsize chip is four times the cost of the berries which made their first appearance on the market in pre-war days. GIVEiT-SWIFTLY DAY GIRL GUIDES SEEK £4OOO One of the greatest jobs to be tackled by the New Zealand Girl Guides is the raising of £4OOO on G.I.S. Day—November 17. next Saturday. » The sum asked for is to equip and provide the five volunteers from the Dominion with clothing lor the conditions to which they .are going, uniforms and personal and team equipment, and to provide them with pocket money for the full time they may be away. This may be as long as two years. They will not be earning any salaries. One volunteer Guide is going to Greece to act as interpreter with the British Guide team already there, and four to Malaya, to form a kitchen-canteen team. This is the New Zealand Guides’ share of the G.I.S. (Guide International Service) U.N.R.R.A. work.

Work days aia ooDular ways for the children to earn money. Lower Hutt has just had a “work week,” people paying 2s an hour for the Guides’ labours. Wanganui has arranged for a similar campaign on Saturday next, November 17. Any ot the public willing to give employment on these terms are asked to communicate with the following as soon as possible and for residents in the various districts named, to phone the number given: Wanganui r,ast, 4097 (Blake); Gonville. 3939 (Parker); Aramoho, 2837 (Burnett); city. 5042 (Isaac); Durie Hill. 5287 (Bradley); Castlecliff. 3047 (Dempster); or any Guider. The girls undertaking this work are asked to hand in their names to their Guiders immediately. All money so earned will be used for the Guide International Service Fund toward (he necessary £4OOO. Individual companies and Packs are organising various functions in an endeavour to : the objective of £lOO for Wanganui—the amount pro rata for the guide population. Any work offered will be greatly appreciated. Guides in Great Britain recently raised £lOO,OOO to equip the British G.I.S. teams which have done such good work in devastated Europe. Duj ing the war years Guides in the Dominion produced £lOOO towards Tnc| first two R.A.F. air ambulances. £3500 for recreation huts for soldiers.
