FRIDAY NIGHT IN TOWN

''Well, my clear," said Mrs. Barr to her friend Mrs. Johnson, by way of opening the weekly discussion on their' Friday Shopping arrangements, "we have had something to think about this week with that great speech of Mr. Asquith's about the war. It seems to mo that the need for more men will become more and nioro urgent.

"I'm afraid so," replied Mrs. Johnson. I see that there is going to be a special war recruiting film at Shortt's Theatre next week, called 'The Peace-at-any-price Man.' The idea is to stir up patriotism in the slackers, and it is a good idea, too. What aro they showing this week? "Another of Charlio Chaplin's funny comedies—'Charlie's New Job,' it is called."

By the way, my dear, have yon bought your contribution to the Christmas present we are sending to the sailors on the i\'ew Zealand cruisera?" "Two thousand tins of preserved vegetables and fruits. Wellington's share is five hundred." 'Splendid! Wo shall go along to the Hairarapa Farmers', on the Quay, and get them to-day. They are advertising iteintz s American preserves—soups, ni x lts ' » mato *Si beans, and other sores. ■ U yon not;i< * Stamford's window in Cuba Street this week?" Tes, I was just going to tell about it. Iney have quite a nice display of millinery.' I noticed several really attractive modes, chic and artistic, and with ones hair done to harmonise with the desip I should think the result would be most effective."

lea. That's the whole point. Of course, Stamford's always attend to that. H 1 , 6 ,?. arrange your hair to suit your hat." While we are on the subject of hair, X must make a note to get a bottle of tialvins Hairaid for Molly. You remember how thin her hair used to be, and _what a different-looking girl she is bow? WeU, it was simply Hairaid,"and constant regular attention that did it, and although we haro settled Molly's haw troubles yet I believe in keeping a Dottle in tho house as an occasional tonic, for anybody," "Did your sister come down from Auekyesterday?" 1 " ? u - ch , f tirin » Jo«rney it wa s, too. bhe tried to read in the train, but she seemed to get quite sick." ( '-Eye trouble, my dear." "That's what 1 was thinking. She complained of a sandy feelins in her eyelids. I advised her to go to Spear's, tho optician, in Willis Street, so she went and had a consultation to-day, and she 18 .?°w wearing good glasses, much to her relief.

I must remember to get a supply of faranoso biscuits for the children when we are passing the Sanatorium Health Food Cafe m Willis Street to-day." For the children! Why, my dear, we grown-ups eat them at home. I thin* they are splendid food for old and young alike, lhey are so light and crisp and delicious, and so easy to preparo for the table. Father has found them just the thing for easy digestion. And to Is granola and grainut. Bv the way, I see Goer s boot sale is still" on." , "Yes, I know. I came past their shop in Majoribanks Street this morning, and had a peep at the window. I saw some very smart white 6hoes that quite took my fancy for summer wear. The ladies' shoes which were marked up at ss. lid. looked wonderful value for the money, and there were some children's Derby shoes, sizes seven and eight, at 3s. Gd., which I must keep an eye on before they are all gone. While we are on the subject of sales, we must not forget Lees and Church's, in Cuba Street."

"Just what I was going to say. I hear quite a lot of people talking about their 'White Sale.' It started last Tuesday, you know. I was along there the other day, and I was really surprised at the variety of styles in English and French underwear. The baiyain prices are fearfully tempting. The very shop for November brides. Oh, by "the way, my sister's family are all going to be photographed- at tho Trevor Studios nest week." "A lot of 6oldiers go there, judging bj their framed exhibits. You know; there is a big difference between a photograph which aims at making the most of your good looks, and a photograph that catches your .natural exnression—your personality'' -and that is where I think the Trevor Studio is so successful. 'By the way, I want you to lunch with mo at the lyrol Rooms, in Manners Street, to-day." "I will look forward to having lunch with you my dear. It's such a nice place, too, isn't it?"

"Very. The service is very good, clean, and the cooking is excellent. We will have a three-course lunch—it is only a shilling—and I'm quite sure L shall enjoy it."

"I had lunch there yesterday, and had a lovely fruit salad, which was perfectly delicious. And I must take you to tea there some day to try their-fried fish,

which they serve beautifully."—(Published by arrangement.)
