Card Party and Dance. A delightful party was given by Mr. and Mrs. D. Levin at their home at Evans Bay recently. Shaded Japanese lanterns created a charming effect in the dance room, and dancing to the strains of an excellent orchestra was enjoyed by many guests, while bridge passed the evening for many others. Mrs. D. Levin, wearing a charming frock of pink broiderie Anglaise, received the guests. Supper was served in a large marquee. Violin solos by Mrs. Levin were much appreciated, as also were the . songs rendered by Mf. Short. During the evening a doll was auctioned for the Wellington Philanthropical Society, and a substantial sum was thus raised, the final bidding becoming most keen.

A Gardening Calendar. . One of New Zealand's most charming native flowers—yellow kpwhai—has been chosen by members'of the women's institutes for their annual calendar decoration, and nothing could be more appropriate... The calendar is a "gardening" one, with charming sentiments about gardens, as fellas sensible directions for each month. A quotation from a poem of Fay Inchfawn's will please many women*. It runs thus: "Come out of the kitchen. . . . You. What! Have you been so long the serf of pot and frying pan, Vassal of dinner-goug, slave to the flue? Here in the garden there is balm for you—for You." Buskin is quoted as saying "The path of a good woman is indeed strewn, with flowers, but they rise behind her steps, not before them." The calendar is a particularly charming one. Schools and Winds. Speaking at the Wellington. East Girls' College on Saturday, Sir James Parr recalled the selection of the building site during his term of office as Minister of Education. He said: "Coming back to New Zealand after six years I do not regret that the school

was built here on the windy hillside. All the great new schools of England wcro being built upon hillside sites, because of their health giving winds." A Welcome Planned. The arrival o£ Miss Kelle Seanlan next week is being anticipated with much pleasure by the members of the Women Writers' and Artists' Society. Tho committee has planned a pleasant evening reception to take place at the Reform. Club, when a number of people outside the society who are- interested in literary and artistic work will be present to meet the guest of honour. A Skiing Lodge in Sweden. One of the most acceptable and unusual of the many wedding presents to Prince Gustaf Adolf, eldest son of the Swedish Crown Prince, and Princess Sybilla of Saxe-Coburg,. was that made to them by a Swedish skiing club (states a correspondent). It is a cosy skiing lodge at Storlien in the province of Jaemtland. The Prince is an accomplished ski-runner as well as Sweden's best horseman. Princess Sybilla is also interested in. winter sports, and the couple are likely to spend a good deal of the snowy weather in their new cottage at Storlien, one of the principal Swedish skiing centres, j Sparkling Eye Shadows. ] Eye shadows that sparkle may sound a contradiction in terms, but it is the contribution of a London beauty specialist toward the perfect evening toilet (writes a correspondent). Blue,' gr.°y» green, and violet eye-shadow-pencils are flecked with gold or silver —gold for a brunette and silver for a blonde—and this gives a sparkling effect to the eyes and is guaranteed to be harmless. A liquid mascara is being evolved in the laboratories of one specialist, who will not release- any of her preparations for public sale unitl she is absolutely satisfied of their perfection, and purity, and although two years' work has teen given to this special mascara, it is not yet ready for use. Her eye rollers, to bo used with anti-wrinkle cream round the eyes, and her eye rests in pink silk that hold herbal compresses close to the eyes and enable tired eyes to. rest, will be much in demand when autumn winds scatter London dust.
