Unusual in New Zealand, several long trailing dresses with accompanying picture hats were worn by race-goers, contrasting with the frocks of the neat tailor-made variety which generally were favoured.

Mrs. Eilwen Murphy, at a commcr•lal conference in Rotherham recently, said that if all young architects had odo a spell as domestic servants there I would be a wonderful improvement in I the planning of houses.
