THIS IS ABOUT SOAP.

Men and women aro reasonably fastidious as to what they eat and. drink; but very few people aro properly scrupulous in tho matter of soap. The average man lathers his face with offensive and in'jurious mineral and animal matter two or three times daily. These cheap and nasty soaps dry up the skin, and in the end completely ruin it. For the delicato sltins of women cheap soaps invariably .spell destruction. Tho thing to use—especially in conjunction with Valazc—is Valaze Herbal Complexion Soap (in cakes 12s. 3d.), lt contains no injurious elements or unwholesome animal fat. It is beyond comparison tho finest skin-soap on tho market. Every woman who uses this soap is frankly delighted with it. Over in Australia, it is coming into dailv increasing use as a shaving-soap. This is, however, primarily the natural soap of the woman of refinement and good taste, for whom Mile. Helena Rubinstein has done so much during recent vcars.

Y.W.C.A. Anniversary.

The anniversary of the Young Women's Christian Association was celebrated 111 tho Town Mali last evening, a large audience being present. Messrs. Jchix Fuller and .Sons had ottered the association their Coronation and Imperial pictures for Ilia evening, and several other very interesting lilms, including "Twelfth Kight," were also presented. The programmo open«l with some, very thrilling views of Hiaiiiitain climbing over ieo and snow, while some of tho scencry dopicted wits very fine. A love story, "Leander and Griselda" (a romance of early days), was next depicted, and then followed samo views from Ihe East Riviera. Glimpses of Subiuca were given—<juite enough to make anyone determino to visit it whenever the happy time came when they were able to set out upon their travels. Ono of the gems of tho evening, however, was the representation of tho historio spots and buildings of London. Quaint old churches, courts, and inns—centuries old, ivy-covered, and half-hidden sometimes by magnificent cnlts—parsed beforo one, and, even by pictures, the irresistible fascination of London, unmatched in f all tho world, made itself felt.

The Coronation pictures were very fino, tho first one being tho carrying of Uio regalia iutoj tho Abbey. Tho next was the King's Coronation procession through London, tho troops lining tho streets through which passed the princes, generals, Indian officers, Life Guards, colonial troops, Beef-caters, and ambassadors, while tho sight of the Royal coach, drawn by its beautiful prancing horses and with glimpses of tho King and Queen inside, was greeted with hearty applauso. Along Piccadilly, Pall Mall, and through tho archways the procession passed, and something of its splendour and impressiveness could bo realised. The desecration of Westminster Abliey—with nil the scaffolding erected for onlookere—was hardly a delightful picture—it seemed such vandalism. "Viivs of Sardinia," pictures from tho piay of "Twelfth' AigJit," "A Trip on Lake Constance," "Kslrcllita," and the . adventures of a precocious cyclist, were aJI cither interesting or amusing.

During the interval Mr. ,T.'G. Aitken mado a brief speech, stating that lie had been asked by the committee of tho association to thank all present for their attendance. Also thc.y wished him to thank Messrs. Fuller for providing the pictures, tho Wellington Gas' Company's Orchestra for their services, the Dresden Company and Mr. Inniss, who had assisted tlicm.
