A Thirty- Year-Old Idea Over 30 years ago the founder of our business decided that all the furniture produced in our factory would be SOLD DIRECT TO THE PUBLIC at genuine ‘‘factory prices.” By thus eliminating the retailer’s or middleman’s profit we were enabled to create a standard of value which was so great that it naturally resulted in our business developing. Having a 30 years’ start upon other furniture manufacturers who have now opened their factories direct to the public, means that— WARMAN’S FURNITURE VALUES ARE BY FAR THE GREATEST IN AUCKLAND. Before you decide upon your furniture call up and see the numerous examples of high-grade workmanship on display in our showrooms, and then have a tour of inspection through our big factory. OUR VALUES ARE CONVINCING. G. B. Warman & Sons "Manufacturers of High-Grade Furniture,” HOBSON STREET, AUCKLAND, (Straight up from John Court’s Corner.)

JEWELLED COLLARS RETURN

A SHINGLE NEED Amonp the fashions that are paying a return visit is the jewelled “dog” collar. Queen Alexandra was extremely fond of this ornament, and many of the belles of the ’eighties and ’nineties copied her taste. In those days ladies wore t.hei r h a ir brushed up from Vie nape of the neck or shingled even shorter than to-day, and this left a monotonous and trying line between neck .and shoulders. Jewellers and dress makers now work so closely together that it is not surprising the former should revive a fashion that smoothes over a certain trying effect the shingle has with low necks for all but the? youngest. The new collars are made of rows of pearls in size varying from a pin’s head to a pea, and these are held in place’ by exquisitely worked slides of gold or platinum studded with more or less precious stones. Jet beads are sometimes use'd with platinum slides decorated with jet and diamonds. These have the advantage of being extremely light in weight.

TWO-COLOUR SCHEMES Lots of the new hats are made in two colours. The crown, down to halt' an inch from the ribbon which encircles it, may be of Ibeige, and the rest of it and the brim of brown. Two blues, one the pretty soft shade which is the Duchess of York’s favourite colour and is known as ‘Betty’ blue, make a charming combination, and bois do rose, which Seems to be as popular as ever, is used with mushroom fawn. Hats seem to get lighter every season, and the newest felt ones are as near feather-weight as they can possibly be. For an afternoon party, or at the dansant a little satin hat may be worn, and there are some silky straws rather like the stiff tricot work done with four-fold silk and a coarse steel crochet hook. If they stand as much hard wear as tricot they should be very useful. A MOTORING OUTFIT Most women motorists suffer at some time or another from the wellmeaning. but misguided friend, who insists on sending gifts designed to increase the comfort of the car. They are generally superfluous—cushions which take up valuable space, clocks that do not fit into the compartment provided and luncheon baskets that are either too large or too small. At last some ingenious soul has devised an outfit for the car which is calculated to bring joy. It contains all that is necessary for a wash-and - brush-up after a long drive. In the first place there is a vacuum flask lined with steel glass, and large enough to contain sufficient water for a nice, warm wash. Secondly, there is a folding wash basin of rubber, measuring some ten inches in diameter; thirdly, there is a tablet of soap in a light case of aluminium. A tin of grease-solvent is provided for use when the hands have got grimed; there is a nail-brush that will certainly see hard wear, and a stout towel of hand-made linen. The whole fits into a neat steel case, calculated to stand the jars of travel without damage either to itself or its contents. The water in the flask will remain hot for 24 hours so that even after a whole-day trip, one may still get a wash by the roadside. With a little vanity case in addition, you may emerge from the carat the end of the day’s run looking as l'resh as the proverbial new plh.
