Fabric gloves, by the way, you may want a quarter size larger than suede or kid. Never put your gloves away wet or warm. Air them, pat into shape, and lay them away flat in wrappings of tissue paper—blue is good for white ones. When washing chamois or other washable gloves, rinse them in warm, clean lather. Just squeezed out of the soap water they are washed in, they’ll never look nice. Dry away from fire and sun. If they get yellowish, bleach them out of doors in the sun after they are dry. Frequent washing, it is worth noting, is better for gloves than letting the dirt get well set in. Never pull on a stocking. Roll it down to the heel, holding it with both hands, then slip the foot in and gently draw the stocking on, gradually unrolling the leg part after the foot is in position. Take the stocking off in a similar way. Do not fasten your suspenders too tightly, and attach them only to the band provided for the purpose at the top of the stocking. Stockings should be carefully washed in warm water with good soap. Silk ones require frequent washing, and must be dried without the aid of artificial heat, and away from a strong light, to avoid fading. Use only a very cool iron to press your stockings. ROYAL PRINCESSES TRAVEL THIRD CLASS Some amazement seems 10 have been caused by the voyage of the Princess of Schwarzenberg of Bohemia to America in the “tourist third” class of the White Star liner Cedric. The princess and a friend, Miss Craven, booked their passages apparently without any apprehensions of discomfort, says “Time and Tide.” But the brother of the princess, hearing of her arrangements, took alarm, and asked the White Star Company to arrange a transfer to the first class. But all berths had been engaged. The arrangements could not be changed. And, in spite of the requests of princes, the ladies travelled third. The arrangements for teachers’ trips across the Atlantic by tourist third have robbed the classes of their social distinction. To-day, anyone travels anywhere that he or she may choose, and since the general improvement of sailing conditions on the large .boats, many voyagers prefer to save money -J on the journey, and spend it in other ways. Snobbery dies hard, and we have not yet reached the stage "adopted in Russia of preferring to say “travelling hard” or “travelling soft” instead of “travelling first” or “travelling third”, but the one-class boats to America, Australia and South Africa are breaking down the barriers which tried to turn life into a fairy story in which princesses and swineherds were people of different flesh and blood.

SEWING BEES CONCLUDE The sewing bees for the poor of Auckland, which have been held throughout the winter, were concluded for this year on Tuesday. The articles made were distributed by the Rev. Jasper Calder, Sister ITannah, the Salvation Army, Canon Grant Cowen, Sister Esther and the Richmond Road Home Ladies’ Benevolent Society. Help was also given to the Unemployed Bureau, besides the individual cases that were handed in. The members wish to thank all who assisted in donations of money and materials.

I-lardley; B grade, Mrs. Hosking: 2nd session A grade, Mrs. Davey; B grade, Mrs. Edwards; 3rd session A Grade, Mrs. Edwards; B grade, Mrs. Buckle. A dainty afternoon tea was provided by the members. SALE OF WORK HUNTLY CHURCH GUILD Headed by Mrs. George Shaw and Mrs. Hugh Gavin, the members of the Ladies’ Guild of the Knox Church held a sale of work yesterday afternoon in aid of the church funds. The success of the function was slightly marred by a very unpleasant wind, and the display was consequently transferred to the vestibule of the church instead of the grounds. Nevertheless good business was done under the circumstances.

A small-tooth comb used every night (gently) will remove all dust from the hair, make it very glossy, and also, cause it to fluff out from the head.

CEREMONIAL SASH NOVEL DECORATION FOR EVENING GOWNS The latest sash is a mixture of the broad ribbon worn by diplomats for ceremonial occasions, arid the taffeta bunch that is so fashionable at the side of a frock. A broad striped ribbon is crossed over the left shoulder from the back of the waist to the left hip, where it is twisted into an enormous bow with long ends that reach to the hem or below it. The ribbon is woven in two or three colours in broad stripes an ijich or more wide, and forms a vivid contrast to the frock. On a cream tulle and lace evening gown is draped a sash of black, green and gold stripes; on a black tulle frock with a gold underskirt is a yellow, red and blue striped ribbon. This may be arranged so as to cover the left shoulder, or it may, with equal grace, appear to have slipped off the shoulder and cover the upper arm. It is only suitable for evening gown decorations, for those of very flimsy materials, or very magnificent brocades, simply made and sleeveless. ROUGE AND LIPSTICK

200 DIFFERENT VARIETIES “We have about 200 different varieties of rouge and lipstick,” said a buyer at a London store. "Each manufacturer has a range of at least a dozen shades in both, and each one is given a different name. Although many of the colours appear the same, there is, in fact, a slight difference in the rouges made by different firms. The tints of lipstick range from a colourless shade to a deep vermilion and pomegranate. “We find compact powder rouge is used by business women because it can be applied quickly, whereas a cream rouge, although giving a delightfully soft effect, needs more care when applying it.” “Compact powders have become so popular that manufacturers are always designing new styles. The newest have almost flat boxes, as slim as the watch a man wears with evening clothes. “A variation of the compact powder is a small box designed for women who prefer to use a special brand of loose powder. The boxes are fitted with a sifter so that too much powder does not get on to the puff, and a mirror is fitted in the lid. “Americans buy large numbers of small painted suede vanity cases which are fitted with a patent powder puff that is made on the bag principle. The powder is put in the bag and percolates the puff so that only a sufficient quantity comes from the puff as required. “Alabaster powder bowls are selling in hundreds at the moment, so many provincial visitors are buying them. A popular design is one I have, specially painted by an artist in Montmartre.”
