Mrs Bernard Powell, of Hawera, is spending a few days in Wanganui. Mrs H. D. Robertson, Oakland Avenue, St. John’s Hill, has returned after visiting Australia. New uniforms have been designed for Australian women in the services. Changes in the W.A.A.F. uniform include black leather sling shoulder bags, black instead of tan gloves, and nylon as well as lisle stockings. Glengarrie hats will also be worn in place of the wide brimmed felt hats and peaked caps which were similar to those worn by English Waaf’s during the war.
