She appears in a straight-cut black coat of faced cloth just revealing a glimpse of red at the neck, and with a close-flttingr little black bengaline hat. Later, the coat is removed, and the red discloses itself as a smart jumper frock of chines© toning 1 , fashioned of soft satin striped crepe faille. The short skirt is finely pleated and the jumper fastens high at the neck with a draped tie. In the last act Daisy wears a planted crepe de chine frock of buttercup yellow, patterned in moss green, which is also used for relief. Her baku straw hat of a darker shade of green is adorned with a trailing bunch of giant buttercups, that complete this dainty spring-time ensemble. Mrs Finlayson’s jumper frock of grey kasha is well suited to her part of younger sister. Cut on simple lines, it relies on pleat* and fine tucking for effect, the only colour relief being a jade green belt buckle and a matching posy. Her “going away” frock is of a soft shade of rose crepo de chine with a brilliant buckle, and a little silver thread embroidery. With this she wears a wide-brimmed bangkok hat swathed with rose velvet. Miss Nance Redstone, the only other “modern Miss” in the piece, made a brief appearance, wearing a dainty frock of parchment lace over mignongette green, a softly swathed satin belt of the green falling below the hem to give the fashionable uneven line. Her shady hat was smartly trimmed with green ribbon of the same soft shade. PRESENTATION MADE RETIRING POSTAL WORKER On the occasion of her retirement from the service Miss E. Blandford, of tho Kingsland Post Office yesterday received a presentation from the business people of Kingsland.

In the drawing rooms there were lovely flowers, jonquils, narcissi and very fine freesias, also some early irises. The supper room was most attractively arranged with candles shaded in rose and gold, making a soft light over the flowers and the room generally.
