ENTERTAINMENT ✓ VICTORIA LEAGUE GIRLS’ COMMITTEE Members of the Victoria League Girls’ Committee have been working very hard the last few weeks, rehearsing for the entertainment they are holding in the Lewis Eady* Hall tomorrow evening in aid of the Returned Soldiers’ Association and committee funds.

If you want to utilise the floor space ot’ your wardrobe for hat-boxes, etc.. then don’t cram the bottom of the wardrobe with shoes, but hang them in little bags. They will take up next ♦«* no room —half a dozen or so hanging from one branching hanger The bags will keep the lighter tinted of your shoes from becoming dust-soiled, and silver shoes from tarnishing. For travelling these small bags are much more protective than tissueI paper wrapping methods Any odd pieces of material about 12 | inches by 10 will make one shoe bag. I Such a good idea!
