TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW

Recherche Race Frocks. Typical of one of the most important silhouettes of the new season, says Mrs. Thomas, of Kirks, is a delightful frock in daffodil georgette.. The interest of this garment ‘lies in the new tucking effect which commences from the slightly raised waist line to the hem in a vertical design-the shorter tucking giving extra fulness at the sides: The long sleeve is finished with tucking and a long frill. The collar is a long turn back with vest in front. An underslip. if silk in the same shade goés with this frock. With this is worn a black picture hat of royal palm silk crinoline -short back and wide front brim. This hat is finished with black crane osprey and gold and silver buckle. Black chiffon hose and black patent pump shoes finish a most delightful race outfit. s s ° A three piece gown of crane grey georgette is most becoming for matrons, race wear. This frock consists of wide panels from the yoke edged with a small scroll design in self material, and has the new full length sleeveless coat in crepe-de-chine cut on perfectly straight lines, the only finishing being the same scroll design. A chic model hat goes with this three piece in the same shade. It has the new droop brim and is. of bakou straw, finished with band and flowers to tone.

The Children's Hour. The organisation of the children’s. sessions is develuping well, and at the beginning of next month will be in full swing at 1YA and 2YA. Mrs. Hall, the company’s organiser, has been very successful in securing aunts and uncles for the work. The children’s sessions at Auckland will be under the control of Miss Ruby Palmer, of Mt. iden, a teacher of elocution, and at Wellington Miss Vautier will be the organiser, Except for the station’s silent night, the children’s session wiil be on the air every evening. a a s * * The uncles at 1YA will include the Rev, Lionel Fletcher, the Rev, Busfield, and Messrs. C. Bell, Hintz, and G. McB., Salt. At Wellington, during the children’s hour, will be heard the Rev. Weeks, Mr. C. Drummond, Mr. Bvron Brown, and Mrs. Chatfield. . It may be mentioned that the work of the uncles and aunts is entirely honorary. There are some special "stunts" in view for the children, one being a "railway excursion’? and the other a visit to Otaki, where Maori entertain. ments will be provided. e FS * Young America. There is a story told of a small boy in Milwaukee who ran away from home "to find Uncle Bob." He got a lift from a car-driver going towards Chis cago by saying that he lived there. When he arrived, he wandered into the park and went to sleep. ‘The police found him, and were puzzled when he told them the object of his visit. Who could Uncle Bob be? ‘The nine-year-old boy scornfully asked them ‘where they lived, anyway," and explained. Before they sent him back to his parents, they kind-heartedly took him to the studio from which Uncle Bob broadcasts, sé he went home quite happy. ‘

ea TE SRS ae Breakfast in Bed. A crisp and tempting breakfast set to decorate the tray for the convalescent’s first meal of the day is made from organdie muslin embroidered in bright wools. Consisting of four pieces, there is the tray-cloth, the napkin, the teacosy, and the egg-cosy, the latter bemg a quaint little square-shaped affair. The tray-cloth and the napkin are buttonholed in pairs round the edge, and are ornamented with basket medallions m a medley of bright colours. The actual cosies ate made of cotton wool with a covering of white sateen, * Gin-gered Up! An Englishman and a Scotsman were having drinks together. The former chose whisky, but the Scot, rather unusually, chose gin. After a few mine utes the Englishman inquired anxious‘ly: "Was your gin all right, Sandy?’ "Aye," was the reply, ‘‘why:do ye ask?" ‘Well, you see," explained the other, "I thought you might have been given petrol by mistake. You’ve said ‘Hoots’ several times within the last few minutes."
