NEWS AND NOTES
In a certain town in the South Island the young bride of a mature resident decided upon having her hair shingled. Her husband protested, but without avail. As ,a last resort, he issued a warning that if his wife persisted he would allow his hair to grow. The warning had no effect. The young bride had her hair removed. Months have elapsed since the determination was put into execution, and now a quite novel sight may be seen of a husband with ringlets falling over his shoulders, accompanying to church a wife who regularly visits the hairdresser’s saloon.
A Christchurch tennis player has invented a new type of racquet handle which is considered by some of the leading players to be an improvement on the type now in general use. It is claimed by the inventor that his make of handle .completely eliminates the necessity for affixing any tpye of pullover grip, tape, or resin, and is complete as it stands. The invention has been accepted by the British Patents Office, and applications for letters patent have been filed in France, Canada, the United States, India and Australia.
