NANETTE NOTICES

I:Kill. AND THERE. (Bv “Nanette.”) < Keeping Parsley. Parsley can be kept fresh for several weeks if.it is put into a dampened glass jar and covered with a small, round piece of moistened sponge. The sponge should be squeezed out of-.fresh water every day until the parsley is required. Special Values. We will never again see such wonderful values as those offered at Slater’s, the Square, during Show week and throughout June. Even the imported models are reduced and all garments are marked in plain figures. There’s an unusually large selection of afternoon, dinner, cocktail, and evening frocks in a variety of colours and materials with short or long sleeves. * 2000 Unseen Pupils. ' Fifty teachers attend a big Western Australia State school daily at Claremont, but do not sefe their 2000 pupils. It is tlie correspondence school of the Education Department. Twenty-one years ago the school opened with 58 pupils and two teachers, its postage bill is now about £7OO a year. Twenty thousand pupils have passed through the school, the scope of which is from the infants’ class to the junior certificate standard.

Preparation. -. It’s worth while making some preparation before your new permanent wave. If your hair has grown dull and lifeless, for instance, you should have a Jew reconditioning treatments, such as those given by Sylvia'Kirk, Broadway. You will then find that your hair responds beautifully to the waving process, resulting in lustrous naturallooking curls. * New Zealander Returns. Aliss Noeline Baker, of Stewart Island, who was county secretary of the Women’s Land 1 Army in Surrey, England, during the first four months of the war, has returned to New Zealand. She held the same .position during the Great War. Aliss Baker says in all departments of voluntary | service in England, the enrolments far outnumber the requirements. Of 20,000 women who volunteered for the land army, only 2000 could be equipped , and given suitable employment. I Modern Simplicity. | The simple elegant lines of modern design are exemplified in an occasional oak coffee table which, would make an admirable present for a June bride. It is round with plain supports and a low shelf and is priced 39s Cd at Hutchins’ Furniture Warehouse. 493 Alain Street. There is a wonderful selection of suitable wedding gifts at Hutchins’. * i Nurses’ Dilemma.

The fifty young army nurses selected to go overseas with the Second Australian Imperial Force felt selfconscious about their appearance when they were entertained at dinner by the council of the Australian Trained Nurses’ Association in Sydney a short time ago. They had given away most of their civilian clothes and at that time uniforms were not available for everybody, tlie result being that the girls had to wear the best dresses thev could find. The uniform of Second A.I.F. nurses includes grey washing frocks, grey coats and skirts, and grey silk “mess” dresses. Trousseau Lingerie. Alost original and dainty and altogether enchanting is the new range of bridal sets just opened up at (he Scotch Wool and Hosiery Shop, the Square. In durable materials, beautifully cut and exquisitely trimmed, they consist of three or four pieces and are so right for the trousseau that any bride will be thrilled with them. * Woman .Commissar. The wife of the Soviet Premier and Foreign . Commissar, Madame Alolotov, who lias been Commissar of the fishing industry for some years, has been removed from her post and transferred to a new one. She is known in Russia as Paulina Zhemchishina and is the only woman in Russia with the rank of full Commissar. ■
