IN TOWN AND OUT

Jf G9EMS

NOTES

Miss Adamson is a Wellington visitor to Auckland at present. Mr. and Mrs. J. Gorgeon, of Wellington, are visiting Auckland. Miss Kitcat, of Marton, is the guest of Mrs. W. Boyle, of “The Pines,” Epsom. Miss Earle, of Helensville, is at present the guest of Miss J. Mowbray, of Parnell. Miss Gordon is a Wellington visitor to Auckland, and is staying with Mrs. Gordon, of Ellerslie. Mrs. Blyth Macfarhine, who has been staying with Mrs. J. B. Macfarlane, of Gillies Avenue, has left town for a visit to Wanganui. Mrs. Lawrence Taylor, who was staying with her mother, Dame Christina Massey, during the dental conference in Wellington, has returned, with Mr. Taylor, to Auckland. Berets of dark blue are all the rage this year on the Nice courts, and have quite superseded the Lenglen bandeau. Women find them more convenient than the tight band, and worn slightly on one side they are infinitely more becoming than anything invented against wind and dust. Rather a distinguished figure recently on the Parc Imperial courts was that of an Indian player, who affects a blue turban and a green sash. When it comes to two obediences as it does between the Lord Chamberlain’s orders for Court dresses and fashion’s orders, a woman will seem to obey the one, but contrives in reality to obey the other, says a London correspondent. The Queen dislikes very short dresses and bare backs and several devices and fashion orders, and the Lord Chamberlain has the power to turn out anybody who has broken the unwritten rules; but it is impossible cto imagine his doing it, and so women have found a sort of mean—something which is not too dowdy and yet will pass in his man's-eye view. In his office there are hanging, as in every year, pictures of dresses which would please the Queen at the coming Courts and the women and girls, and dressmakers can go and look at them; but obviously they regard them as counsels of perfection or as the over-statement of the other party to a bargain.

Some useful hints come from a London correspondent, as follow: A girl I know who goes out a lot at night and who works hard all day, yet who always looks so sweet and fresh that no one would dream she leads the strenuous life she does, let me into her secret: It is rest! As soon as she reaches home somewhere about 6 p.m. she has a very light meal—sometimes only milk and biscuits (she wisely takes a good mid-day meal). Then she slips off all outer garments, lowers the blind and lies quite inert for just as long as she can. If her eyes are tired she first places a pad of cotton wool saturated with boracic lotion on each closed eye. She has trained herself to lie with even her mind inactive, and relaxes every muscle. To put it in her own way: I just “flop”— which, if inelegant, is expressive! Then she has a tepid bath, followed by a cold sponge. Before doing her hair, which is shingled and receives a vigorous brushing, she thickly powders her lace, afterwards removing all superfluous powder with a piece of cotton wool. Then she slips on shoes and stockings, and her frock, then all little etceteras, and is ready for the fray looking like a freshly-gathered flower.

This year the Ideal Home Exhibition not only displays model, houses, but model estates (says a London writer). Thus there is a fully furnished Tudor mansion, with a model garden, flowerbeds, and even a green-banked stream,

complete with rustic bridges and boat?* Among the household novelties are cork linos., in full -colours, resembling carpets; a method of spraying walls with colour, which enables a home decorator to “spring-clean” and repaint a whole room in an hour; an electric light arrangement ensuring a sun bath in mid-winter; a silent mangle, and a demonstration of 156 ways of cooking the homely potato. The truth is that invention moves so rapidly nowadays that the shops, and even the big stores, cannot keep pace with desirable novelties. It is necessary to cultivate a demand for household knick-knacks before the shops and stores will even consider stocking them. This is the service doaie by the annual Ideal Home Exhibition, with its model bungalows, model bedrooms, and other ingenius methods of displaying the newest devices. The fact that half a million people patronise such a show is evidence enough of its value.

Nothing but a “carriage and pair” of the style popular in the days of Queen Victoria has any interest whatever for the Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos, who spurns the automobile. The Duchess is the only member of the aristocracy who still clings to the carriage and pair which rolls up in front of her Cadogan Square residence every morning at 10.30 o’clock to take the owner a drive through the parks. The Duchess, formerly a great traveller, still devotes part of each afternoon to writing and painting. She is known as “the versatile peeress” because of her interest and enthusiasm in charity work as well as her own affairs. The Duchess’s best-known books are “Glimpses of Four Continents,” “Letters from Egypt,” “Willy Wind” and “Jock and the Cheeses,” and “Wartime Ditties.” The dukedom of Buckingham and Chandos became extinct on the death of the last duke in 1889.

JUSTICES ASSOCIATION

A SOCIAL EVENING The Justices of the Peace Association met last evening in the Priscilla Tea Rooms, when an enjoyable social evening was held. A wealth of foliage and bright poppies formed the main decoration of the rooms. A large attendance of members and friends were presided over by Mr. A. J. Stratford. Mr. E. C. Cutten gave a carefully considered address on welfare work, paying particular attention to the religious side of the question. Mr. T. Michaels, in tendering a vote of thanks to Mr. Cutten for his address, stressed Auckland’s need of a half-way house. A number of pleasing vocal items were given, and the evening closed with the serving of a dainty supper.

To save frequent cleaning of silver spoons, forks, etc., wrap them in brown paper and place in an air-tight jar. They will keep clean for months, and will show no sign of tarnish.

MUNDANE MUSINGS

A FOOLISH FABLE (Written for THE SUN.) 1. And lo! it came to pass that in the years that were after the Great War 2. A certain man took unto himself a wife. 3. And verily was this damsel one of the lucky ones of this wicked world. 4. She had picked a pippin! 5. Yea, even such a one as maidens’ dreams are made of—the Perfect Husband. 6. His stature was of many cubits; a countenance like unto Adonis; a way with him even as the High Priest of the Exclusive Eating House, and much silver withal—yea, more than seven Patriots who did sell to their country goods that were sore needed during the time of Great Strife. 7. In the morn did this Perfect Husband salute his wife ere he departed for the toil of the day; at dewy eve the Box of Sweetmeats or perchance the Flowers of the Hothouse would remind her that even in the heat of the noonday sun was she ever in his heart.

8. At the Public Feast would he tell her how wonderful were her eyes, till all her friends gnashed their teeth in envy.

9. Her housekeeping allowance was a source of much wealth to her, and many shekels were hers for her adornment.

10. Notwithstanding all these blessings being added unto her, the damsel was sore troubled.

11. For when her friends came for Tea and Tattle on the fifth Friday, had she nothing with which to amuse them, and her tongue did cleave to the roof of her mouth.

12. Her heart became hot within her because her friends did rail loudly at the ways of their Lords, and the divers acts of wickedness they did commit.

13. And lo! there dawned a day when she could hold her peace no more.

14. And she said unto the Perfect Husband:

15. “Thou are not a Man, but a Bunny Rabbit; would that I had never set eyes on thee!”

16. Then said he: “Oh, Star of my Heavens and Light of my Eyes, wherein have I failed to come up to expectations ?”

37. “Tell me where I have erred, and I will heap cinders and ashes upon my head.”

18. Now the mouth of Woman is a deep pit, and she made answer thus:

39. “Thou does not consort with nor befriend other women!”

20. Whereat the Perfect Husband did ponder long, and did lay himself down upon his couch, thinking: “Perchance a little sleep, a little slumber, will enlighten me.” 21. Then bethought he of a Friend of his childhood, a Man About Town. 22. “Thy lips of knowledge are as a precious jewel. Thus and thus spake my wife. Expound unto me from thy bountiful experience the wavs of her kind.” 23. And the Man About Town said:

24. “As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes of a woman is the Too Perfect Husband. 25. “She hath -no cause for complaint, therefore she doth complain. 26. “Go thou and find thee a friend as she desires, but see that she be not too fair, else wilt thou regret it all they days.” 27. And the Perfect Husband saw that the advice was. good, and went out and found himself such a one. 28. For it is not easy to find a virtuous woman whose price is far above rubies, but of the Not Too Virtu..us Kind there is no end. 29. There be many things too wonderful to comprehend. 30. But the greatest of these is the way of a maid with a man. 31. And it came • to pass very shortly that the Wife came to the Perfect Husband, and, casting hersell into his arms, said: —■ 32. “What have I done that thou consortest with a Strange Woman, and with that Cat in particular? 33. “Am I not by thy side to do thy bidding, and to be a joy unto th 34 ’ “But that woman, if she comes hither again, will I surely scratch her eyes out!” „ r ~, ‘35 And the Perfect Husband did bless the Man About Town, because everything in the garden thereafter was of exceeding great beauty. 36 And the moral of all this is, “Remember Thy Childhood.” How, if thou cried for nought, the handmaiden did chastise thee to the end that thou mightest have something as a cause for thy tears.

EPSOM ANGLICANS

ANNUAL MEETING ADJOURNED

A meeting of parishioners of St. Andrew’s Church, Epsom, was held last evening to receive the report and balance sheet for the past financial year. The Ven. Archdeacon G. MacMurray presided over a large attendance.

The resignation of the vicar, the Rev. E. Lionel Harvie, who has gone to Cambridge as vicar, was referred to with regret. Since 1919, when Mr. Harvie took charge of the parish, the congregation has nearly doubled as a result of the late vicar’s energetic endeavours.

As Mr. Harvie’s successor has not yet been appointed the meeting was adjourned until a future date. The present vestry will continue to hold office until an election is held after the induction of a new vicar. J DO YOUf When you bow to someone on the other side of the road —do you say anything? It isn’t a riddle. Just a curious fact. Hardly a woman among us can bow without muttering “good-morning” or the evening equivalent under her breath. Have you noticed this? Don’t ask me the whyfore—l can’t tell you. I only know that I myself am one of the mutterers! Much time can be saved in sewing snap-fasteners if the snaps are stitched to one side of the opening in the material, then chalked and pressed against the other side. The mark shows clearly and does away with pinning and measuring.

WOMEN’S WEEK

N.Z. PREFERENCE LEAGUE The Mayoress, Mrs. A. D. Campbell, presided over a meeting held yesterday afternoon under the auspices of the “New Zealand - made Preference League,” when a good number of women were present representing the National Council of Women and the many women’s organisations which are affiliated to it, and delegates from other bodies were also present. It was decided, in connection with the Women’s Week, which is to be held during June, in an effort to bring before women the many household requisites that are made in the Dominion, to have a big display of New Zealandmade goods in the Town Hall on June 15, 16 and 17. In addition to the displays of clothing, food, household necessities, etc., there will be about 30 attractive ballets staged at the Town Hall, when New Zealand products will be presented in a variety of novel forms. Mdlle. Valeska has promised to arrange the ballets, which should prove exceptionally attractive. There will also be a mannequin parade, a number of beautiful girls having been engaged to wear a charming selection of apparel entirely made in New Zealand. Preference League badges will be sold at the Town Hall at the nominal charge of one shilling. These badges will entitle the purchaser to honorary membership of the league, which has for its object the making of New Zealand prosperous and self-reliant through the fullest development of its primary and secondary industries. The members are of course all expected to give preference to New Zealand-made goods, and by so doing the league believes that it can in great measure abolish the unemployment that exists to-day. The badges will admit wearers to the gallery seats at the Town Hall, while admission to the ground floor will be free of charge. It was arranged that the proceedings at the Town Hall would be generally supervised by the Mayoress, Mrs. A. D. Campbell, and that each day should be divided into two sections and a different committee of women would be responsible for the badgeselling, sale of refreshments and such other duties as attached to the convention each afternoon and evening.

On Wednesday, June 15, the afternoon arrangements will be in the hands of the Northcote Women’s Association and Civic League; on Wednesday evening the Navy League will manage affairs, while on Thursday afternoon and evening the helpers will be supplied by the 1.0.0. F. and the Mutual Club respectively. The W.C.T.U. have promised to Organise Friday afternoon’s function, and the final evening of the convention will be attended to by the National Council of Women.

SCHOOL DEFICIENCY

NO CHARACTER TRAINING MR. CUTTEN’S OPINION An interesting address on the subject of “Welfare Work” was given last evening by Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., at a gathering of Justices of the Peace and their wives. The president of the Justices of the Peace Association, Mr. Albert J. Stratford, occupied the chair. Introducing his subject, Mr. Cutten gave a fine definition of character. “Character is the ability of a man to control his actions according to the dictates of the spiritual side of his nature and to resist the temptation to follow his natural inclinations.” Welfare societies are endeavouring to undo the mischief caused by the wrong conduct of individuals, and are striving to prevent wrong-doing insofar as it is in their power to do so. The one great weakness common to all societies engaged in the relief of suffering and the betterment of mankind is that they reach but a small percentage of the community and, in consequence, seem unable to stem the tide of evil-doing. The Schools and Ethics The system of secular education operating in New Zealand and America is responsible for the omission of the teaching of the true meaning of character. “The mere teaching of ethics in the schools serves only to instruct the children that certain things are inadvisable when there is a policeman about,” continued Mr. Cutten, “and insufficient attention is given to the training of character, with the result that there are many welfare institutions trying to fill the deficiency.”

Mr. R. T. Michaels, J.P., spoke briefly on the need for “half-way” institutions.

Vocal items and supper concluded an enjoyable evening.

METHODIST SYNOD

MEETING HELD YESTERDAY About 50 members of the Auckland District Synod of the Methodist Church met in the Pitt Street Methodist Church yesterday. The Rev. Dr. H. Ranston presided. Reports were made on the work in various circuits and home mission stations, and a lengthy discussion arose on matters concerning the efficiency of the pastoral and preaching office. In the evening a service was held in the Grafton Road Collegiate Church, commencing with the ministration of the Holy Communion. A post-communion address was given by the Rev. E. W. Harris, of Dargaville, and other speakers discussed various aspects of church life.

A good knife-polish can be made by grinding bath-brick to a powder and adding an equal quantity of bicarbonate of soda.

VICTORIA LEAGUE BALL

A BRILLIANT FUNCTION. Flaming poppies lent their vivid beauty to the charming scene of decorations that had been arranged at the Scots Hall last evening, when the Victoria League held its annual Empire ball. Flags were hung from end to end of the ballroom, while around the gallery appeared more flags and a wealth of greenery and bright flowers. In unexpected corners graceful palms had been placed, and the stage itself was massed with palms, foliage and red poppies, and then more poppies . . . every spot possible being transformed into a veritable blaze of colour. Miss J. Mowbray, the president ofthe league, received the guests on arrival. Miss Mowbray wore a gown of black satin veiled in delightful cream and black embossed lace.

During the evening two charming items were given by Miss Nancye Hanna, who sang “Land of Hope and Glory,” and Mr. De Montalk, who chose “Ye 'Gallants of England.” Among the many present at this delightful ball were, the following; Lady Lockhart, wearing a black satin gown exquisitely embroidered in gold.

A MAY WEDDING

DAY—REID A pretty wedding took place on May 18 at St. Benedict’s, when Esma, eldest daughter of Air. and Airs. J. Reid, Valley Road, Mount Eden, was married to Selwyn, second son of Air. and Mrs. A. W. Day, Otqhuhu. The officiating clergy were the Rt. Rev. Dr. Liston, assisted by Rt. Rev. Alonsignor Ormond. Miss N. Ormond played suitable music at the organ. The bridal gown was a charming creation fashioned of pale pink satin, with a handsome sequined overdress. The veil, of tulle, fell from a coronet of pink and silver. The bridesmaid, Aliss Maisie Reid, had a dainty gown of apricot lace over crepe de chine and wore a rope of pearls, the gift of the bridegroom. The bride’s mother wore a jade green frock and fawn hat.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the Domain Kiosk.

The bride.’s going-away cape frock was of apple green repp, and she wore a smart hat of white felt. She also wore a handsome fox fur, the gift of the bridegroom.

After the honeymoon Air. and Airs. Day intend taking up their residence at Hamilton.

DRESSED CARROTS

Crisp young carrots, freshly dug and cooked in such a way as to retain all their flavour, are without a doubt one of the most delicious of the spring vegetables. Surely they are worthy of more attention on the cook’s part than to be merely served as an accompaniment to roast or boiled meat? Why not “dress” them as do our French neighbours and serve them as a course in themselves?

One of the simplest ways of preparing them is to boil them in salted water till tender, drain and toss them lightly in some butter, and seasoning, a little chopped parsley, and a gooc squeeze of lemon-juice, and just before sending to table put in a good teaspoonful of meat extract. Curried, too, they are delicious. Half cook them, then finish off in a good curry sauce, and serve in a border of boiled rice; or another way—place them in a well-greased fireproof dish, sprinkle with chopped onion, add seasoning. a very little water, and put plenty of dripping on the top. Cook in quite a moderate oven, and when almost done, sprinkle liberallywith grated cheese and browned crumbs, and return to the oven to finish.

If strong brine is used in the bottom pan of a double saucepan instead of ordinary water, greater heat is produced, as brine boils at a temperature of 14deg. higher than water.

THE MACARONI FAMILY MADE INTERESTING

HOW TO BOIL MACARONI Have a large kettle on the stove containing 2 quarts of boiling water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and slowly add S cup macaroni broken in very small pieces, or 5 cup of any of the small shapes, or 1-3 pound noodles or other flat shapes broken or not as preferred, or 1-3 pound of spaghetti or vermicelli not broken and held in the hand until the other end softens and coils down into the kettle. A small onion stuck with 2 cloves is sometimes cooked with the paste. Boil rapidly 12 to 2o minutes or until tender. It should cut easily with a fork and taste cooked. These pastes will increase in bulk from 2 to 2$ times. Pour into a colander or sieve, saving the water to be used instead of plain water in the next soup you make. Hold the sieve under the faucet and rinse with hot or cold water to keep pieces from sticking together. Use any of ,’the pastes in any way suggested' below. It is a good plan to have three times as much sauce as of macaroni before cooking. Season with the thing that is at hand. A combination of several flavours is often better than one alone. For instance, Worcestershire sauce with the eggs, mustard with the ham, or pimiento with the beans. CHEESE SAUCE 4 tablespoons fat 3 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups scalded milk 1-3 to 1 cup cheese. Few grains cayenne. For fat use butter, butter substitute, bacon or sausage fat. Melt fat in saucepan, add flour and salt, stir until smooth, add milk heated in double boiler and stir until sauce boils. Add cheese to suit the family taste, grated or put through the food chopper (or omit entirely if preferred) and a few grains cayenne, and place over hot water until cheese melts. Chicken stock may be used if on hand in place of all or part of the milk. TOMATO SAUCE 4 tablespoons fat. 1 slice onion. Bit of bay leaf. 4 tablespoons flour. 2 cups hot canned tomato. Cook fat (see cheese sauce) with onion, bay leaf and flour until flour is brown. Add tomatoes and sitr and cook until sauce boils. Rub through a strainer before using. You may use in place of 1 cup tomato, 1 cup stock from beef, lamb, pork or chicken bones, or from mushroom skins and stems or l cup boiling water with 1 bo* 'Hon cube or 1 teaspoon beef extract. Left-over gravy may be added to tl sauce. BUTTERED CRUi- -S Put i cup unsweetened crackers or very dry bread or biscuits through food chopper. Add 2 tablespoons melted butter or butter substitute and stir with a fork until well mixed. VARIATIONS WITH CHEESE SAUCE J Add cooked macaroni or noodles to cheese sauce, keep hot over hot water and serve sprinkled with paprika. Sauce may be seasoned with: 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or 1 teaspoon anchovy paste, or £ teaspoon to 1 teaspoon mustard, Few drops onion juice, or h cup chopped cooked ham. or 1 cup shrimp or lobster (omit cheese), or 1 cup celery cut fine, or 1 pimiento cut in dice, or 1 green pepper chopped or shredded, or

1 cup mushrooms, peeled, sliced, and sauted in 1 tablespoon butter, or 1-3 to 1 cup chicken (bits from wings and back chopped with the giblets may be used), or 1 cup dried beef, pulled apart into small pieces, or 2 to 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped or cut in slices, or \ to 1 cup cooked or canned salmon (omit cheese), or & pint oysters, with or without cheese, or 1 cup cooked lima or kidney beans, with or without cheese, or 1 cup cooked asparagus cut in inch pieces, or 2 cooked frankfurters or sausages sliced or Tomato, raw or canned. VARIATIONS WITH TOMATO SAUCE Add cooked macaroni or spaghetti to tomato sauce and keep hot over hot water. For variety add: 1 green pepper chopped or shredded, or 1 cup mushrooms, peeled, sliced and sauted in 1 tablespoon butter, or 1 cup olives sliced, or 1 cup cooked lamb, or £ to 1 cup chopped cooked beef, or hamburg steak, or |.to 1 cup grated cheese. BAKED MACARONI Put into a baking dish macaroni and cheese sauce or macaroni and tomato sauce with or without one or more of the suggested seasonings. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake in a moderate oven or at 350 degree F. until mixture is hot and crumbs are brown. Macaroni, sauce and meat or other addition may be put in, in layers. Bacon slices cut in squares the width of the slice may be put on top of the crumbs and the whole baked until bacon is crisp. Grated cheese may be sprinkled on top of the crumbs. MACARONI CROQUETTES Use any left-over macaroni and sauce mixture. Chop, season if required, shape in balls or cylinders, roll in crumbs, dip in egg beaten slightly with 2 tablespoons water, then in crumbs again. Frjr 1 minute in deep hot fat (390 degrees F.) and drain on brown paper. Serve with catsup or with white or brown sauce.
