WEDDING BELLS

MITCHELL- HERBERT St. Barnabas' Church, Makarak;i, Gisborno., was the .scene of a pretty wedding on the evening of Thursday, February 6, when Florence Maud, only daughter of Mr and Mrs J. T.

Eade presided at the organ. The bride, who was escorted by her father, wore a lovely gown of ivory cobweb laee mounted on matching satin. The bodice, showing a V-shaped neckline outline with scalloped georgette and finished with a spray of orange blossom, was gauged into a pointed waistband. The long sleeves terminated

in a point over the hand and were accented from the elbow to the wrist with tiny georgette buttons and loops. Fan-shaped insets of pin-

tucked georgette; ornamented the skirt, which swept, into a graceful

train, and a narrow belt defined the waistline. Her veil of embroidered Brussels net was held in place with a coronet of orange; blossom, and a bouquet of cactus dahlias and roses, intermingled with gypsophilia and maidenhair fern was carried. A string of pearls, the gift of the bridegroom, completed the ensemble.

Miss Cameron's frock of pale gold georgette was made with large puff sleeves, closely pin-tucked, and a flowing skirt.

THE CHOICE IS EASY EVENING FOUNDATIONS How difficult it always was to make up one's mind whether to choose a one-piece or a two-piccc foundation. Evening foundations never presented this problem—the controlette has always been a 'must.' Daytime frocks often left the decision in doubt. But the question is more easily settled to-day. When in doubt,, make itipi one-piece, is a pretty good motto to follow. For the one-piece

controlette, with its smooth, flowing and unbroken lines right through the waist, has no rival for the young, rib-moulding silhouette that is the thing to-day. The new "long torso," beltless and fitted from bust to thigh, and the "pierette" silhouette, with the same spotlighting of the waist area, call definitely for the unbroken line —a noticeable division at the waist beneath either would entirely ruin the whole charming effect.

Of course, sc-called difficult figures are sometimes more efficiently and comfortably controlled with a lacing corset or wrap-on worn with h deep-fitting brassiere, and must therefore give preference to the onepiece control. But even this does not hold true as widely as before. The introduction of skintex and its fabric boning has solved a great many of the difficult figure, problems, as by means of flatjmvoven bands it gives all the control of bones without any of their discomfort.

HOUSEHOLD PROBLEMS N.Z. WOMEN TELL AUSTRALIANS SHORTAGE OF CLOTHES PEGS Afternoon lea was served by the New Zealand women at present in Sydney describe difficulties which are frequently encountered in tht:ir country at present in obtaining certain household necessities, says an article in the women's supplement of the Sydney, Morning Herald. Problems of housekeeping on a large scale are described by Miss Rena Sonter, matron and teacher at the Seventh Day Advent is t Missionary College it Longburn, in the North Island, who has arrived in Sydney for a holiday,, says the article.

"Some household necessities are almost impossible to obtain in large quantities, as well as being very expensive, " said Miss Sonter. "If 1

put in an order for 28 pounds

cornflour, I would bei told I couhl only have two."

On another occasion, she ordered a gross of clothes pegs, and was only allowed two dozen. The problem was solved by sending a number of students to different shops and buying a small number of pegs

at each

The Stocking Question

Stockings also provide a problem. The cheapest chat Miss Sonter could find suitable for house wear were 7/11. Another New Zealander, Miss Bettina Edwards, failed to get silk stockings cheaper than 11/6 at the end of December.

Miss Edwards tells a story of a shipment of stockings from Canada which arrived in New Zealand just before Christmas. There was ouch a rush on them that women were standing five deep at the counters in the big stores. I went to one of the chain stores, and, after looking for the stocking counter, asked where it was. "We haven't got one now." she was told, "as we can't buy

anv stockings."
