Hostesses Have No Problem Now

From Fred Dunn in Noumea fAIR heads and dark—there are no red ones among the student hostesses for the South Pacific Games in Noumea in December— have recently been studying their most interesting problem. What to wear? The girls will be clothed by Noumea, shod by Paris, and “millinered” by Sydney.

The dress will be turquoise blue, short-sleeved (it wilt be the hot season), but it will take a bolero if the weather turns chilly.

Special shoes have arrived from Paris and samples shown to the girls brought cries of delight. The caps to be worn are the Qantas hostess caps and will be supplied by Qantas, at no cost to the organisers.

A gesture, by the organising committee, which has immensely pleased the young ladies is a beautiful shoulder-slung, black leather bag.

It is not yet known if the hostesses will retain possession of their uniforms and shoes after the Games, but they will keep the bags. They are of an exquisite design and extremely costly.

Uniform material will be supplied to the girls and they will be free to have it made up by their regular couturiers. The committee will foot the bills.

The design of the uniform, not yet released to the public, is the w.ork of an anonymous craftsman or woman in Noumea.
