FRIDAY NIGHT IN TOWN.

'I think, dear, that I will shop early on Friday evening," said' Mrs. Johnson to lie.- friend, Mrs. Barr. "I should like very much to spend an hour or so at Shcrtts*_ Picture Theatre, in Willis -Street. ■I here is a very Rood programme this week, and I like to keep in touch with these interesting pictorial views of the wav. By the way,- I hoar that that screamingly funny Charles Chaplin is appearing next week as "Charlie, the I ramp." Will you come with me on Friday ?" , "Certainly, I will," said Mrs. Barr. Do you know, I really meant to go in any case, as I wanted to try those n«w glasses that I got at Spear's, the opticians, in Willi s Street. He was recommended to nic some years ago. I was also tempted with a lovely pair of field glasses, ti 11 ' arc a perfect treasure for tho theatre as well as for outdoors. By tho lva y> I must get some gloves. . Will you come with 'me as far as Cuba Street, to Lees and Church's?" "yes—shall we. walk? Very well. I was looking through Lees and Church's the other day; I was getting some things there—gloves and stockings. Their hosiery coJours are perfectly fast, I'm told, and ™ not injure, even tho .most tender "of ' I ? ome there last week —very -smart, I tnbught. And they have, too, quite a nice display of the new 'season's goods in other wear. She has just had her photo, taken, uasnt she?" "Yes: sho went to the Trevor Studios. *r i- ev * * s Writes a u(j poses are very effective, especially of children. - .Ella's type, yon know, is always rather a trial to a photographer. Well, she was delighted. with this last one, particularly so Qs she had reserved one for her soldier boy at Gallipoli. She had her hair speciiX- d , one at Mts - Stamford's." Indeed?" I was .in Mrs. Stamford's showroom the other day. Her art millinery 19 most effective. I bought my new bat there. Th. final touch was my hair—hat and hair must merge, you know. Mrs. ocamlord did mine' for the occasion—sho dresses it free—and I was quite surprised to see (he difference it made. Now, what about some lunch? Shall we go to the Vegetarian Cafe? What! never been ~o lr' of <»urse, you must come." it I , ineans. Of course, I've heard all about jt. ■ I use their Granola food at home; it is so good for the children, ana their Fincerea essence—no boiling. Its a, cereal coffee." Oh, yes!

These only cost 13s. Gd—aren't they neat? That reminds me—l must call in at Lindberg's, in Cuba ■Street.'' "Lindberg's? I wanted, to go there, too. Lindberg's drapery and other stock is very good, and very reliable. Besides, one can buy cheaply there, and that is something, to think about these days. He's been here so long that he's almost an institution." ' ' • "The test of time, one might almost say? "Yes, and now we had better decide' about somo tea.
