HOUSE-WARMING

FIVE O'CLOCK PARTY

ENGINEERS RELAX

Leaving behind the making of roads, building of bridges, draining of swamps, and the worries, intricacies, and problems of electricity and mechanics, Wellington engineers foregathered last night at the new home of the New Zealand Institution of Engineers, No. 8 The Terrace. The function, which took the form of a five o'clock party, was held as a house-warming of the institution's headquarters. Held under the auspices of the newly-formed Professional Engineers' Entertainment Association, the number present eclipsed all previous functions of a similar nature. The ladies and members were welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Baker. In addressing the gathering, Mr. Baker, as president of the New Zealand Institution, extended a hearty welcome to the new rooms, and expressed the hope that this, and succeeding celebrations, would assist in making the present quarters a live centre for engineering activities in the Dominion. Savoury refreshments were prepared by Mesdames L. B. Hutton, J. H. Lee, A. J. Baker, H. E. Toogood, W. L. Newnham, J. G. Lancaster, and G. W. Wyles, while .the other refreshments were catered for by an energetic committee. The new rooms, while adequate for immediate needs, are to be extended in sufficient time for the Centennial Engineering Congress in February. 1910, when Dominion engineers will be hcsts to distinguished members of the profession from all parts of the world. It is evident from the success of the party that engineers in the Capital City are prepared to forget their more serious pursuits, and can be relied upon to px-ovide fitting social amenities, necessary as a relief to the more serious work of the congress. The perforated materials of artificial silk or cotton which are used for "heat-wave" blouses and frocks are apt to lose their shape in washing unless they are carefully handled. They should be squeezed, not wrung, and then laid flat on the ground, after being well pulled into shape, for dry ing. They should be nearly dry for ironing, and only a warm iron should be used.
