Among the nine women appointed last year to the London Women Police Force was one New Zealander, said Mrs. Chatfleld,- in an address at the annual meeting of the Protection Society last evening. The New Zealander, shr said, was very enthusiastic about her work, of which she told her many interesting details. The only thing she did not like about her work was having to wear policeman's boots. To Wash an Organdie Frock. Many people are afraid to wash organdie at homo and send it away to be cleaned (states N a correspondent). As organdie soils quickly, this is rather an expensive procedure, and it will be found that if it is washed carefully in the following manner at home the results will be equally good. Squeeze- the organdie'up'and. down in warm, soapy water until' quite clean, but do not rub. Rinse, in lukewarm water, and then immerse tho*; frock in a bowl of lukewarm water to which: has been added a good pinch of borax., Leave for a few minutes, squeeze out as much water as possiblo: without wringing, and roll up ml a thick towel for an hour before ironing. If ironed damp the organdie will come up as crisp and fresh as when new. ' '
