FRIDAY WIGHT IN TOWN

'□a.ve you ever read any of Augusta. Evans-Wilson's books, my dear?" The iinestion was directed at .Mrs. liarr, over

tile edge of the newspaper in which lira. Joimson was absorbed.

"No; 1 can't say 1 have," said Mi's. Barr, sitting down, and drawing off her gloves.

Airs. Johnson looked up in some surprise. "Dear me!" said she, "I thought everybody read 'St. Elmo,' 'At the Mercy of '.liberals,' ami 'lnt'elice.' Well, you must come with me to Sliortt's l'icturecs to-night, and see 'Infelice' played on the tilm—everybody is talking aDou't it." "Very well, my dear. By the way, I took an old school iriend to see the pictures last week. She had never been before, as she lias always been so short-sighted. 1 simply compelled her to get a pair of glasses. We went along to Si>ear, tue optician, 111 Willis Street, and she got a very nicu pair of Fit-U glasses. Then we went to the pictures, and you never saw such a change in a woman. Slie was just like a child at its !irst pantomime."

"Have you seon the lovely underwear that Lees and (JUurcli have on view just now?"

"No. I haven't been up Cuba Street this week."

" i'ou must come with me to-day. I have | some shopping to do there, and you can P see lor yourself—most dainty designs in E. camisoles, vests, and nightdresses, f They have quite a reputation for f ladic-s' wear—the quality is always good. f Oh! before I forget—l,must cash my dis- R count tickets at the Wairarapa Farmers." Bj "Five Per cent, is good discount," said F Jli-s. Barr. "My big family uses up | a big order every week from the Waira- K rapa 'Farmers, and my discount tickets K run up to £2 in no time. It's very nice | to feel that by paying cash you can get » 2s. back every time you spend up to £2. I often wonder why more peoplo do not fc go in lor cash buying instead of ruimin« $ up bills." ['

".Are you still keeping up yourGranola breakfast for the family?" . Oh, yes. And 1 al<-x> make delicious puddings and entrees. A iist of recipes is enclosed with each bag or packet, .you know, whcli reminds me—l must get a fresh supply at the Sanitarium Health Food Cale in Willis Street to-dav."

"My husband says he can work hard all day after his Granola for breakfasthe says, 'It is tho only breakfast food that stays.' " 'Have you seon tho new Postillion Hat in Stamford's window this week? and tho Tamo' Shanter? And tha Welsh Eat?"

not yet." "lon want to see them to appreciate them. I thought they were awfully smart. 1 must get you to try on the 'Postillion.' They havo'been getting in a fine stock of English hair, too, the very best. _ In fact, I saw quite a big change in their showroom—all new seaBon's goods."

"Wiiilo wo arc on tho subject of hnir, I must make a noto to get a bottlo of Galvin's Hairaid for Molly. Xou remember how tliin her hair used to bo, and what a different-looking girl she is now? "Well, it was simply Hairaid, and constant, regular attention that did it, und although W9 have settled Molly's hair troubles, yet I believe in keeping a bottlo in the house as an occasional tonic, for anybody." "Oh, by tho way, my sister's family are all going to bo photographed at the Trevor Studios next week."

"A lot of soldiers go there, judging by their framed exhibits. Now that the bright days are here I must got mine photographed, too. The Trevor Studios excel in thild studies."

"Another item. I want to get a pair of shoes for my eldest girl, as a present, A. nice pair of Goer's single-baT white buck shoes at 17s. Gd.. Of course I know her size awl foot. I happened to look in Goer's window as I was coming down Majoribanks Street this morning, and the thought struck me. I saw such a nice pair of white button boots at 12s. Oil."

"Oh, I want you to have lunch with mo at the Tyrol Rooms, in Manners Street to-day."

"Delighted! I took my husband along there tho other day. They have a smoking room there for gentlemen, and 1 think that must have been tho last littlo touch that captured him. We had such a nice lunch, too—three courses i'or a shilling."

"My husband took me to supper thero tho other eveniii'.;, and wo quite enjoyed ourselves."—(Published by. arrangement.')
