FANCY

TH

THE annual Fancy Dress Ball of the Australian and New Zealand Associa- tion will be held at the Peninsula Hotel on Friday, April 1. If you're going along it's time now to pre- pare your costume.

You see hero ideas sketched by Shackell which can easily be worked out. The "Butterfly" needs only a full-skirted evening dress to the hem of which can be 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 antenna being of wire covered with the paper.

The tunic worn by "Fashion Nows" is cut out of book muslin covered with cuttings from fashion papers stuck on with glue. The cap and feather might also have a foundation of mus- liu. Those tights are simply long silk stockings with tiny black silk knickers worn above. them.

Moonshine

Just as simple is "Moon- shiue's" outfit, which is com- posed of an evening gown-dark bluc for preference with streamers of mauve and silver falling from her headdress and attached to her wrist, others are tied round her neck and fall to the hem of the frock. These have narrow bands of sequins sewn to them.

Your

Key

IT is always a vexed question

of how soon-or how late- we should hand over a latch key to our growing daughter.

The volco 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 steal an extra half-hour's freedom at 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 reproot there and then.

"Barbara can have a latch key us soon as she has settled down!" the mother decides. "It is foolish to put

there are those who argue quite

differently. "It is unfair to expect young people to tear them- selves away from friends, to be in at a fixed hour. They will only be Inughed at

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 seif. It Is the surest way to avoid dimeulty. For there are those who resent

the humiliation of "being treated like children," as they feel this ban on their liberty to be, Just as there are those who would be

too likely to take advantage of a carly handing over of this symbol of freedom and trust

The best plan is to hang the latch

key on nåll, and sequnint the girl with 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 does not regard the possession of her own latch key OS the open sesame to liberty, but rather

as a token of self-imposed trust which cannot be regarded lightly or costly abused.
