« Valazc Powder Js splendid, a delicious •cent. It is quite the nicest preparation of its kind that I have so far come upon.” This is a candid word on Face Powders. There are all sorts in the shops. - To start with, there is the fact that all are sold indiscriminately for all softs of skins, which 'is absurd.' Some skins are dry, and some are moist, and oily. Impossible to have a poivder to suit both.. Mile. Helena Rubinstein, the famous Viennese Complexion Special#;te, has introduced two perfect face powders. NO VENA POUDRE is a “fatty” powder, for dry and normal skins., This has another curioufe quality : it is the only powder on earth which is also a skinfood. Then there is the VALAZE COMPLEXION POWDER, for greasy skins. • To dust a fat powder over a greasy skin would be as though one should attempt to quench a fire with petroleum ; while to put. an absorbent powder on a dry skin would be the merest waste of time. It would not adhere, and if it did, it would aggravate the dryness. This is one of those matters in regard to which womeh have been long astray. Powder, yes—but only the powder that suits you. Both those mentioned above are sold in boxes, 2s fid. Mile. Rubinstein’s other specialities are: NOV ENA lIAIR DESTROYER, which instantly removes superfluous hairs from the face neck and arms, without 1 detriment to the skin, 5s fid. NO VENA SUNPROOF AND WINDPROOF CREME, safeguards the complexion from'the ill-effects of the sun as well as of cold and biting winds. In jars, 2s and 3s fid.

Mr E. C. Brown, Christchurch manager of the D.1.C.. expressed the opinion, at the meeting of the Board of Governors of the Christchurch Technical College, that they were commencing to impart technical education to the young people too late in life. For one individual that they were teaching a trade they were turning out a hundred j. clerks. They were training tbo heads too rquch and the hands insufficiently. He had no doubt that, in the fuure, the Government would adopt a system of technical education that would train the young people at an earlier age than was now the practice. Good progress is being made with the new Government House. It is being erected by Government workmen, and is likelv to cost about £25,000. A considerable sum will also have to he spent in opening up a new street to-the main entrance. The house will. probably be June. - The Corriedale breed founded in Canterbury is making, headway.

North Canterbury The,first prize rams at the Canterbury A. and P. Show, bred by Mr Ensor, were ©old to a Tasmanian purchaser.
