MILLER—APPLED

At St. James’s Presbyterian Church, Pukekolie, the marriage of Miss M. Appleby, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Appleby, of Mangatawhiri Valley, to Mr. H. A. Miller, only son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Miller, of Green Hane, took place on Wednesday, the Rev. S. Nixon officiating. Escorted to the church by her father, the bride was frocked in white crepe de chine, with silver trimming and wore a tulle veil with a coronet of orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of sweet peas and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaid, Miss I. Appleby, wore a pretty frock of maize-coloured crepe de chine, with autumn tinted relief. Her bouquet was to tone Mr. F. Ferris, of Auckland, was best man. Some 40 guests were subsequently entertained at the Piccadilly tearooms. Some charming little stories of the Duchess of York and her baby daughter are being told. Although Princess Elizabeth did not remember her mother, the Duchess very quickly made friends with her, and now she is so attached to the smiling little lady who has come back into her life that all sorts of strategies have to be resorted to when the Duchess is obliged to leave the nursery to prevent screams of protest from Princess Elizabeth. The King’s grand-daughter has a decided will of her own. Although she can only say “Daddy” and “Mummy’’ distinctly, she lias an imperious way of making her wishes known. She points to things that she wants, shakes her head very decidedly when she is misunderstood, and is a very delightful little tyrant to both her parents and her many uncles and aunts. Nobody seems able to decide whether the King or the Prince of "Wales spoils her the more. Puree Soubise is a good summer vegetable dish. Peel a dozen large onions, cut into rondelles and put into a casserole with butter, salt, pepper and just enough water to cover. Put a buttered paper over them and cover tightly. When the onions are cooked mash into a puree and beat with a wooden spoon. Reduce until it is a little thick. Add a little flour if necessary. When .ready to serve, add a spoonful of white bechamel sauce, thick cream.-and a large piece of butter.
