FRIDAY NIGHT IN TOWN

"Well, my dear," said the bustling Mrs. Barr to her friend, Mrs. Johnson, "I can't stay very long to-day, as I must lmrry back to see my visitors off before I can get free for our Friday shopping. Of course, we are going to see the big recruiting picture at Shortt's Theatre, after we have finished what we intend to do?" "Tlie 'Peace-at-any-price Man' p By all means. It has caused quite a lot of talk, and the recruiting people here ought to _be very pleased. I see that we are going to have another laugh at Charlie Chaplin next week, starting 011 Monday, We'll 'see him playing cricket this time." "That ought to be funny. By the way, my dear, have you bought your contribution to the Christmas .present we are sending to the sailors 011 the Kew Zealand cruisers?" ' "Two thousand tins of preserved vegetables and fruits. Wellington's share is five hundred." 'Splendid! We shall go along to the Wuirarapa Farmers', 011 the Quay, and get them to-day. They are advertising Heintz's American preserves—soups, pickles, tomatoes, beans, aud other sorts. Oh! Did you notice Stamford's window Street this week?" les. I was just going to tell about .it. •they have quite :a nice display of millinery. I noticed several really attractive modes, chic and artistic, and with one s hair' done to harmonise with the design I should think the result would ba most effective." "l r es. That's the whole point. Of course, Stamford's always attend to that. 7,%, a S ran S e y°ur hair to suit your hat." \V hue we are on the subject of hair, l must make a note to get a'bottle of tralvin s Hairaid for Molly. You remember how thiu her hair used to be, and what a different-looking girl she is now-? Well, it was simply Hairaid, and constant, regular attention that did it, and although wo haYO settled Molly's wfi . u^'e3 > yet I beligve in keeping a bottle in the house as an occasional tonic, toe anybody," ' Did your sister come down from Auckyesterday?" , "^ es ' Such a tiring journey it was, too. She tried to read in the train, but sll e seemed to get quite sick." l( ;Rye trouble, my dear." That's what I was thinking. She complained of a sandy feeling in her eyeadvised her to go to Spear's, the optician, in Willis Street, so she went and had a consultation to-day, and sho is now wearing good glasses, much to her relief. 'Are you still keeping up your Granola breakfast for the family?" "Oh, yes. And I also make delicious puddings and entrees. A list of recipes is enclosed with each bag or packet, you know, which reminds me —I must get a fresh supply at the Sanitarium Health l'ood Cafe in Willis Street to-day." "My husband says he can work hard all day after his Granolo. for breakfasthe 6ays, 'It is the only breakfast food that stays.' By the way, I see Goer's boot sale is still on." _ "Yes, I know. I came past their shop m Majoribanks Street this morning, and had a peep at the window. I saw some very smart white shoes that quite toot my fancy for summer wear. The ladies', shoes which were marked up at ss. lid. looked wonderful' value for the money, and thojo were somo children's Derby 6hoes, sizes seven and eight, at 3a. 6d., which I must keep an eye on before they are. all gone. While wo 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 erf people talking about their 'White Sale.' I was along there the other day, and I was really surprised at the variety of styles in English and French underwear. The bargain prices are fearfully tempting. The very shop for November brides. Oh, by the way, my sister's family arc all going to bo photographed at the Trevor Studios next week." "A lot of soldiers go there, judging by 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 tho Tyrol Tloonis. 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, and clean, and the cooking is excellent. Wo will have a three-course lunch—it is only n. shilling—and I'm quite srare I shall enjoy it." "I had lunch there yesterday, and had a lovely fruit salad, which was perfectly delicious. And I imust take you to tea there some day to try their fried fish, which they serve beautifully."—(Published by arrangement.)
