in cold water placed over the eyes and eyebrows. The mask takes about 20 minutes to dry and should be washed off with warm water followed by astringent lotion or cold water. This is particularly lovely treatment to have before a night out as it gives the skin a very smooth and clear appearance and is of course very restful if used in this way. Nourishing the skin is one of the most important factors of beauty culture. Skin foods and tissue creams are therefore most important if one wants to avoid those wrinkles which appear in all skins when they are undernourished. Only those with very oily skins can afford to neglect this part of the beauty routine. There are different strengths for different age groups, depending on the make of cream used. Some cosmetic houses don't bother with these variations and have only one range of nourishing creams. The “cold” creams one sometimes sees in the less expensive makes of cosmetics are generally not suitable as nourishing creams but only as cleansing creams. The more glamorous possibilities for gifts are usually produced most beautifully at Christmas time. There are always those lovely bottles of coloured bath crystal and boxes of bath cubes which we all hope will come our way. Bath essence is something which I have always longed for but so far have never been lucky enough to have given to me. A few drops in the bath will haunt one all day, so I am told. Remember to watch perfumes when you are buying talcs and scents. Too many different perfumes can spoil the effect if they are badly mixed. Hand lotions make very attractive gifts too, especially when they are dressed up in those gay coloured papers which are so much a part of the Christmas spirit.

MAORIS TO GIVE ADVICE ON EDUCATION An experiment to determine the needs of Maori school children is being made at four schools by the Auckland Education Board. The selected schools have a high proportion of Maori pupils. The board has established extra facilities at them —special reading materials, an arrangement whereby Maori children may take library books home, extra first-aid and medical supplies, and hot showers. The secretary-manager, Mr G. H. Short-land, said the board is communicating with the Maori Affairs Department on the question of co-opting two representatives of the Maori people to assist its committee on Maori education. One would represent the Maoris north of Auckland, and the other those in the south.
