house during their canvass.

Land Service Outfit.
“Huh, no gum boots,” soliloquized a young woman evidently of rural experience, after a cursory glance at the uniform and equipment provided by the authorities for Land Service women on
display in a shop in New Plymouth. As n substitute there was a pair of woodensoled clogs, with solos thick enough to keep foot dry in most Taranaki eowyards.
And, to keep to the strictly business part of tiie outfit, there is a working hat, a sou’-wester, three overalls, a pair of leggings, three pairs of socks, three khaki shirts, a leather, jerkin—a stout but supple protection from even a southerly wind —and two pairs of boots. So much for the land girl's working hours. The leisure time had not been overlooked. For these she is provided with a felt hat and a box to keep it in, an attractive costume, a beret, a pair of shoes, two pairs of stockings, two blouses, a tie, a pair of gloves and a great coat. On the shirts
the words “Land Service” are shown, and there are four sets of insignia, a badge find a brooch by which the wearer can indicate her association with an important service on the home front.
