Ball of the Australian and New Zealand Associa- tion will be held Peninsula Hotel on Friday, April 1. If you're going along it's time now to pre- pare your costume.
You see here idens sketched by Shackell which can easily be worked out. The "Butterfly" needs only a full-skirted evening dreas to the hem of which can bo added in wide ruche of coloured tulle. The wings are made of beads strung on fairly stout wire. These are kept in place by "braces" composed of ribbon or bands of sequins passed round the shoulders and waist. The cap can be fashioned from black crepe paper, the antennæ being of wire covered with the paper.
Fashion News
The tunic worn by "Fashion News" is cut out of book mualin covered with, cuttings from fashion papers stuck on with glue. The cap and feather might also have a foundation of mus- lin. Those tights are simply long silk stockings with tiny black silk knickers worn above them.

These can have narrow bands of sequins sewn to them.

IT is always a vexed question of how soon-or how late--- we should hand over a latch key to our growing daughter.
The voice of discipline urges some to delay that important day as long as possible. There seems so much more safety in opening the door to the knock of the incoming young people. That dangerous temptation to atent an extra holf-hour's freedom at the wrong end of the day is checked, they learn to know the value of time, and any hint of unpunctuality can be nipped in the bud by firm parental reproof there and then.
"Barbara can have a latch key as soon as she has settled down!" the mother decides. "It is foolishi to put temptations In her way!"
there are those who argue quite differently. "It is unfair to expect young people to tear them- selves away from friends to be in
fixed hour. They will only be laughed at. Give them a latch key, and, within reason, let them feel that they are free. After all, in these days of dances and parties, punctuality at night is almost Im- possible. Besides, robbing them of a latch key is only temping them. when they are late, to conjure up! some untrue excuse for their np- parent lapse!"
With so much to say on either side, when, therefore, should we present our girls with a key to the front door?
LET THE DAUGHTER decide
The wise woman will let her daughter solve the problem for her- self, It is the surest way to avoid dimeulty. For there are those who resent the humlllation of "being treated Ikke chlidren," as they feel this ban on their liberty to be, just as there are those who would be likely to take advantage of a too

Freedom and trust.
The best plan is to hang the latch key on a nail, and acquaint the girl Wilt
the fact that it is hers the moment she feels she ought to have
it.
This would give the girl a deeper sense of responsibility than the hand- ing of it over with
ceremonious "lecturing," and heavy philosophy.
The mother who lets her daughter decide will find that the girl

not
regard the possession of her own latch key as the open sesame to liberty, but rather as a token of self-imposed trust which cannot be regarded lightly or easily abused.
