NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN

The Conference of the National Council of Women continued yesterday. Tho constitution and by-kws for the Dominion were formally adopted. The scheme of organisation provides for the setting up of local branches to which the societies in the centres will affiliate. Prom tho local branches representatives on a membership basis are appointed to the National Council Committee for the whole Dominion. By this means it is hoped to get the whole of tho women's organisations in close touch with each other for combined action. A resolution, was passed by the conference that tho question of the amendment of the electoral law to enable women to be elected to Parliament should be made a prominent activity of all the local branches. It was also resolved that the Auckland branch be a'sked to specialise during the year on the study of.|Jhe question of providing more adequate home assistance for mothers with young children, and that "Wellington co-operate by studying the question in its relation to the home and school life of children. The following officers were elected for the year :—-President, Mrs. Shepherd, of Christchurch; hon. secretary; Miss Henderson; hon. treasurer, Mrs. S. E. Jackson, of Auckland. Four vice-presi-dents are to bo elected by tho local branches rf Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, ami Gisborne. It was decided to hold the next conference in dirisfcchurcb. HOME TltliATililiYr OP.HIE HAIR. ITS MAItVELLOUS SUCCESS. Unprecedented success in restoring the grow til. of tho hair lias recently been manifested by the marvellous results obtained from tho use of Mrs. Kolleston's three months' course of home treatment. This method is in vogue in the Old Country and America, and appeals to tho average woman who is unable to visit the Hair Specialist. Being thoroughly qualified in, her profession, and having had considerable experience both in New Zealand and abroad, the secret, of Mrs. ltolleston's success is readily understood. At her rooms, all Indies undertaking a course of hair treatment, may, if they desire, have an examination of their soalps, also a microscopical examination of their recent combings. Others unable to call may forward a few recent combings, and statu the condition or general appearance of the scalp. Cost of three months' preparations, 16s. 6d. Posted in plain wrapper Is. extra'.
