ANDERSON-McNAE. Never has the Kirwce Presbyterian Church at Kirwee been more artistically decorated than it was for the evening wedding of Pamela Elizabeth, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs 11. McNae.

IN THE BOUDOIR. HINTS FOR THE TOILET. An eleetric curling-iron with its eveu distribution of heat 13 a great safeguard against scorching the hair. The first cc>3t is the last cost. With it can also be secured an electric hair-drying attachment. An electric heating pad brings almost instant relief from pain caused by cramp, congestion, rheumatism, lumbago, or neuralgia. It makes an ideal bed-warmer, replacing the old-fashioned water bottle. There is nothing in connexion with it to leak or break, and it is safe, sure, and sanitary. Other useful appliances' for the boudoir, including Electric Hair Waver and Comb and Violet Ray outfit, are on view at the showroom of the Municipal Electricity Department, corner Manchester and Armagh streets, and in the showrooms of other electrical contractors. —1

[ TYPE OF MAN. I A WOMAN'S CHOICE. An earnest student of psychology has just succeeded in proving that every woman loves one type of man, and one onlv, throughout her life. According to "the discoverer of this theory, it is all nonsense about a girl falling in love with an Apollo at twenty, a Croesus at thirty, and anybody at fort . v - <C 11 • ~ If at sixteen you tall lor' the Sheik type, marry the Sheik type if vou want your marriage to be a success You may delude yourself into thinking that timid little Mr Smith, live feet nothing, with a stutter and specs, will make you an ideal husband. But he won't, not unless his looks belie him and he beats you regularly twice a dav' Of course, if the theory's true, it will have its uses. When athletic young Jones falls violently in love with Arauu'nta Brown, and she smiles on him oue dav and cuts him dead the next, he need not worry himself into an early grave as to whether she means to accept him in the end. All he will have to do is to make a few searching enquiries into her past. Suppose he discovers that she had a hopeless passion for the music-master at her first school, he'll know right away that he's merely wasting his time, and the sooner he forgets her and looks about for the girl who waited in a queue for an hour to get Hobbs's autograph, the better. In the same way, Aramwta s problems will be simplified. She'll know for certain that she's not going to be happv with anybody who hasn't masses of waw hair and a tendency to burst into a "velvet jacket and one glance at a new young man will tell her whether he's worth taking seriously or not She may still like to encourage a few "impossibles," just to fill up the time until the pick of her type comes along, but she won't allow them to worry her unduly. Of course, some foolish people will •still ignore this marvellous new disyoVerv—there always are folks who 're too clever to learn anything new. But if a girl, who has always been attracted by the apparently insignificant sort of man, with a dangerous gleam in his eves, suddenly decides to launch out and marries a downright Englishman of ait-foot one, with no nonsense about him, she mustn't expect our sympathy when things go wrong. For "o wrong they certainly will, according to modern psyehogist, especially if, after she's married and done for, she meets a peculiarly attractive member of the type she ought to have married. . . „„ On the other hand it's no use pretending that the theory hasn't its disadvantages as well. Think how worrying it will be now for the mother of a precocious small daughter when she sees that young person wildly attracted by ber Nanny's young man, who is also a prize-fighter. She'll know that howeve? much she may hate the idea of fourteen stone odd of brawn for a son-in-law she must face the prospect uniess she wants her child to be unhappy married or a spinster.

GIRL CITIZEN MOVEMENT. On Monday, in the beautiful setting of St Andrew's College, the Girl Citizen Movement of New Zealand commenced their third annual conference. There are 81 delegates assembled in the bSng, representing all the larger towns or *« Zealand from Whangarei iu the north to Dunedin in the south. Miss Leila Bridgman, National Carta Work uMn charge of the com ference, white Miss A. M. Bentham, acting headquarters secretary, has kindly consented to be the. hostess. Miss Law, the general secretary of the Y:W.C.A. in Christchurch, though not able to give full time to the conference, is present as often as she can. In the Girl Citizen Movement, which has been organised by the Y.W.C.A. during the last few years with great success the event of the year is the annual'conference, to which each Community, in spite of financial worries, sends its quota of delegates. At the conference, the girls discuss their various problems, consider alterations to the Constitution, and. plan the work of the coming year. The programme provides for a very full day. The morning begins with an early swim and physical jerks, under the supervision of Mrs Montgomery, the Physical Director in Auckland Y.W.C.A., who has kindly undertaken to supervise the sports and recreation of the conference. After breakfast there is an address from the Rev. Mr Robertson, which is followed by group discussion. After recreation there follows the girls' council hour, during which the practical business of conference is done. The afternoon is occupied with rest and recreation in the beautiful grounds that surround the college. The evenings are devoted to inspirational talks and cup competitions. The theme running through the conference is that all are "explorers," trying to find the best in life through every avenue available.

The Buckett Gymnastic Troupe, which visited Hokitika for the purpose of providing entertainments in aid of All Saints' Memorial Church building fund, returned to Christchurch .by Monday's express. The party had a most enjoyable time, and are loud in their praise of the hospitality of the Hokitika people. Mr Bruce, Commonwealth Prime Minister, and suite are returning to Australia via America and Canada. Their trip across Canada, through Banff, and over the Rockies, will be made on the Canadian Pacific Railway. Incidentally the party will travel on the famous private C.P.E. car "Killarney," so named by the late Lord Shaughnessy, and previously reserved for use by the Prince of Wales during his visits to Canada.
