HITHER AND THITHER
Dance at Wanganui East. Another of the Wanganui East popular dances will be held to-night in the Town Hall, when excellent prizes are promised for the novelty dances and Monte Carlos. There’s also a competition Bob Dance. The Charm of Candles. Candles have come back into their own, states a London writer. Their becoming light adds to charm as well as to a scheme of decoration. Unlighted candles are still attractive. The latest pottery bowls are made with four candle-sockets round the rim. Short stemmed anemones massed look lovely with green or primrose candles. These bowls can also be used for fruit. Stack one with oranges, add peacock blue candles, and see how it cheers a dark corner. The posy ring has also taken to candleholders. It can be suspended, chandelier fashion, by its four cords from a convenient hook. This would make a charming decoration with scarlet candles and white chrysanthemum heads. Evergreen circles set with dwarf candles are another idea for a festive table. They can also be had in sprays and single stars. A suggestion for a children's party is to flank the good things with tiny painted figures ’ such as Santa Claus or a starry angel, each bearing a lighted candle.
Piled Hair Needs Decoration. Jewellery is all over the place this season, but especially in the hair. The most fetching gadgets are little comb's of pearls which serve the double purpose of keeping your curls in place atop your well-dressed head, and also as a decoration. All sorts of feathers may be perched in your hair this year —especially ostrich feathers and other soft, bright coloured feathers. One seen recently was a plume cleverly caught around from the back of the left ear, up through the top curls and forming a little spray in the front. I he feather, of course, was curled.
And if you wish to hide :.h it kittenish a'r of yours, and attempt '.o assume a rather more dignified manner, the very latest in hair ornaments is the Senorita’s comb, really big ones, too, and they’ll lend you a little necessary height so important for dignity. And pray, don't sniff at the big bows of your early childhood. They’re coming back again in force —little black velvet bows, or rustling taffeta ones are caught up in just the right curl, and will work wonders.
