Franks; senr., of YaJdhurst, who is in her 79th year, has been working' for the Yaldhurst Red Cross bince January, 1915, _ and has completed -100 pairs of socks for the soldiers. Some of the fabrics most desired are denied to us—for the moment, at any says "The Lady." An example of thiß is wool jersey, -which, although freely to be observed "on others" (and also in tho chiefly in the form of a simply-gathered, skirt on j olastic waist, accompanied by, a clinging fur-banded coat or juniper), yet seems hard to obtain. And there is almost as great a dearth of the..silk stockinette likewise. However, just as if with tho idea of coming to our rescue on i that point, at'any rate, one of the bigj gest of our favourite drapery houses the • other day blossomed forth with an exquisitely fine and softly-draping cashmere (woollen) in attractive shades, and well suited to jumper fashions and little dresses 'foy afternoon wear, j Eolienne is another thoroughly useful and satisfactory material for tho purpose. MRS ROLLESTOJI'S Conrse of ; Hair Treatment, at .her charmingly appointed Booms, lias surprised many ladies by the modesty of its cost. The course, however, is very thorough and complete, comprising five separate treatments; cair-cutting, and singeing; massage, with scalp food; shampooing, with friction vibro and hand massage; besides all nccossary preparations used, and also a lesson in hairdressing. Especially beneficial in cases of falling hair, dandruff, and premature greyness.
