Williamson Musical Comedy Company, at present playing at Auckland, missed tho steamer Waiotahi, which took the members of the company t'3 Cotves Bay, where thev held a picnic. A seaplane was secured from the New Zealand Trying School at Kohimarnma, and the lady arrived at her destination at tho same time as the steamer, much to tho astonishment of the others. •'You must know," said a lddy delegate to the Teachers' Conference at Wellington last week, "that smoking is greatly on tho increase among g»rls and women, and that drinking is on the increase. I believe that this is nartly due to the fact that many girls in the upper classes of our prij mary schools are not influenced by a 1 womanly woman." Tho statement | brought to his feet a male dclogato, ' who said that lie did not think tho r-lmrge should go forth that th© worlc-ing-class girls, the girls trained in tho primary schools, were doing tho smoking. It was the girls whoso parents were very wealthy and wore able to send them to eolleges taught by women. "The statement should not go down,' he said, "that the girls trained by men in the public schools are the sinners in this respect." "That sewing shall count as a handwork subject for girls," was a remit intrcduced at the New Zealand Educational Institute Conference on iSntur<lay. by Miss J. A. Finlayson (Wellington). One reason advanced by Miss Finlayson was that nt present the girls had to find their own material—quite a serious enough consideration to many parents, whereas were sewinp made a I hand-work subject tho materials would i bo provided by the Government. Miss M. Smith (Christchurch) seconded the motion, and expressed the opinion that, as conditions were now, sewing was being starved out—no apparatus, material, or conveniences whatever were provided. Mr A. C. Blake (Wellington) said that it had struck him quite a time ago that sewing had not been made a hand-work subject on account of tho e'xnense to the Government. He considered sewing and cooking admirable subjects for girls. The remit was carried unanimously. TOUR COMPLEXION. > The coming of warm weather ii often trying to dclicato skins. At this time tha com- - plcxion requires particular attention. A course in faco massage soon soften* and invigorates the skin, prevents tho formation of wrinkles, and a!so removes all impurities from tho skin.' Before going out doors in '.varm weather it is advisable to use Mrs Rolleston's Special Face Cream. This guaranteed preparation is an admirable protection for the complexion: moreover, its regular use whitens and softens tho skin to a wonderful degree, and is a real skin food. It costs 3s 6d and 5s 6d per pot. Call or write to-day. Mrs Rolleston, Dominion Buildings. Cathedral square, Christchurch. BBSM F TJ R S GOOD ADVICE FROM COLWILL, > THE FURRIER.
