Bridal Veils.

A new fashion in wearing the bridal veil has been seen this season—the filmy folds of net are swathed right round the head and chin, completely covering the neck in a nun-like manner.

A prettier fashion is a lace cape to match the veil or train lined with chiffon and collared with white fur for the bride to wear on her way to church.

Personal.

I suppose every girl in Head Office envies Miss Jean Daniel, who sailed by the “Niagara,” 12th April, on a six months tour of Canada and U.S.A. Miss Daniel was recently entertained at a farewell party arranged by Head Office girls, and was the recipient of various useful gifts. All those associated with this popular young lady wish her a pleasant holiday and a safe return to New Zealand.

Miss S. E. Brough has returned from her annual vacation which she spent in Auckland.

Mrs. Haslam has resumed duty after a pleasant holiday spent at Auckland and Waitomo Caves.

The engagement is announced of Miss T. R. Beck to Mr. L. D. Phelan of Oriental Bay, Wellington.

A Smart Frock

The frock illustrated would look well carried out in Kasha, flannel or jersey cloth, while the handbag and buttonhole should be of felt to match the hat. To have your handbag made of felt to match your hat is a new idea much favoured in Paris.

Have You Ever
Tried This?

To clean white felt hats, make a paste of calcined magnesia and cold water and brush well over the hat. When perfectly dry, brush with a clean brush.

A few drops of vinegar on the live coals of the fire will remove all cooking odor from the kitchen.

If cake, bread or toast is too brown, grate it with a small grater. In this manner, all of the burnt surface is removed without tearing the under surface.

When pegging out clothes that are thin or fine, place a piece of white paper under the peg. There will then be no mark and the garment will not tear.

On windy days the starch is often blown out of clothes; this can be remedied by adding some salt when mixing the starch.

“I want a frock to put on around the house”—What size is the house, madame!”
