EASTER EGGS.
FOR THE BUSY HOURS.
For the busy hours, whether the business be work, shopping, sport or just gossip; there is nothing more appropriate during the first warm days than a semi-tailored dress of washing silk.
You can find now in WEITEAWAT, LAIDLAW's a very big selection of j cardboard Easter eggs in all sizes, FROCKS OF WASHING SILK. and very attractivo colourings, i Many people prefer to got a card- board egg and fill it with sweets. of their own choosing or put some other little gift as handkerchiefs, stockings or scent inside. Certain ly when the egg is intended for a child it is wisest to buy the sweets separately for then you can assure yourself that they are fresh and of a sort suitable for children. The egg often becomes a treasurs box for the small person to whom it is given, and the pleasure it gives will last long after the 'contenta have been eaten.
This dress proves that twò fabric ideas are by no means démodé. It is carried out in nary blue crépe, de chine and printed crêpe in tones of blue. grey and burnt orange.
Those which Pamela is now show ing are particularly attractive as by means of beautiful fabric aud clever cut they have a chic which is not alwaye found even in far more pretentious garments.
First a pink frock. This is made with pleated skirt and a simple sleeveless bodice worn with a ker chief at the neck. The skirt and kerchief are plain pink though both are hemmed with the striped mate rial of the bodice. The bodice is atriped in blue, mauve and pink but the different colours are not very prominent being blended by a pink under thread. There are two white frocks both of crêpe de chiar which are interesting, one with sleeves and the other without. The former has A wrap round skirt and a series of machine stitched tucks round the hips give the necessary close fit. A small turn down collar and tie of the material faish the neck. The sleeveless frock has a pleated skirt and a simple turn over collar with

CARE OF THE HANDS.
Keeping the hands soft and smooth is a problem that every woman has to face who has any regard for her appearance.
Even guarding the hands against exposure with gloves does not always protect them sufficiently and it is advisable to keep a bottleTM if. lotion handy so that you may apply it regularly each time you wash your hands. The use of soap and water toads to dry the hands so that they chap and crack readily.
To offset this it is essential to cream or lotion into massage a
them that will soften, whiten and protect them.
There are several such lotions 'an the market and it should not be difficult to find a satisfactory one that also suits your pocketbook with the advice of your manicurist. A hand lotion can be easily made At home by mixing one-third glycerin to two-thirds rose water. Make a sufficient quantity so that you can bottle it and use it as often as necessary each day,
If your hands are unusually dry and sensitive to exposure, use some of your facial skin food to massage into them at night, leaving it on under a pair of loose gloves. Warm olive oil baths now and then will do much to keep the hands in good condition and prevent roughness.
Don't let the children's hands and
wrists got red and raw, either. When they come home from school or in from playing and wash their bands, teach them to use the band lotion as you do...
All this only a part, however, of the beauty culture of the hands. It is the part which you should do yourself, but if you really wish to be the possessor of lovely hands you will do little else except to push down the quicks with your towel as you dry your hands, and rub up the polish lightly with buffer.
