Victoria was quite unofficial and private, tho High Commissioner aud Mr. Wray Palliser were urosene to bid thorn farewell. One interesting fact may be noted: As a rule, all nurses serving under the War Ojrce wear a similar uniform, and no badges are allowed. In the case of the New Zealand nurses this rule was partially waived, and they had the letters "N.Z." worked in scarlet silk on their dresses. This departure in their favour was much appreciated by the New Zealand ladies Nurse M'Leod, it will be n-coHectod. was in Brussels in the very, early days of tho war. with the Red Cross.

ELECTROLYSIS MUST LEAVE ITS MARK UPON THE SKIN. Mrs. Hullen once practised Electrolysis for the removal of superfluous hair because there was nothing better at the time. But the treatment is mora or Übs disfiguring—the needle loaves little sores which heal and leave tiny scars as all sores will do. Further, Electrolysis, whilst removing hair from one spot, stimulates growth elsewhere. The same battery current is used ns for MAKING HAIR GROW, and as the needle electrifies the face its effect is but logical. But with my "Husma" Treatment no needle and no electric current is used. The treatment is the sure, safe, easy method, and I GUARANTEE A CURE. Call or write. Mrs. Hullen, Boulcott Street, Dept. 3, Wellington. 'Phone 1047.—Advt.
