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 more or less disfiguring—the needle leaves little sores .which heal and loave tiny scars as all sores will do. Further, Electrolysis, whilst removing hair, from one spot, stimulates growth elsewhere. The same battery current is used as for MAKING HAIR GROW, and as the needle electrifies the face its effect is but logical. But with' my "Rusma" 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.

Numbers ot young girls arriving. in this city from the country districts to find employment in the shops and offices, need suitable, inexpensive accommodation, where they may lind friends, and . home-like surroundings. The Y.W.C.A. has at present room for twenty-oight young women in its hostel, situated at 6 Macdonald Crescent, and in addition to this a second house was secured some months,ago for those girls who do • not require full board,. but need facilities for preparing their own meals. This house will accommodate twenty-three girls; but even with these homes the .demand is so great that the Board of Directors are canvassing the city to find a suitable house to meet the requirements, of the. overflow from the present buildings.
