The acres of native busli that adjoins the gardens were thrown open to the guests, who were enthusiastic in their admiraton of the wonderful place, where from a dense tangle of undergrowth one comes unexpectedly on a clearing where stands a marvellously carved and ornamented Maori house; or again a carpet of gay flowers appear, relieving the green darkness of the heavier-wooded places. Afterwards a dainty tea was served, and the guests expressed their appreciation of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan’s kindness. PAPATOETOE ANGLICANS SUCCESSFUL GARDEN FETE The spacious grounds of Mr. and Mrs. F.

EVERYDAY ECONOMIES THE WITS-END CLUB A new novel to be selected by the winner each week as a prize for the most original household hint or recipe that has been tested and found to save time, labour or money. Manv folk might be glad to have the benefit of your experience, so send in your suggestions, addressed to The Homecrafts Editor, Womens Page, THE SUN, Auckland. This week the prize has been given to Mrs. N. Gibson, Herne Bay, for the following suggestions: GOOD WASH-LEATHERS A really fine-first-clas Quality washleather is not a cheap thing to buy, and merits proper treatment. Every time it has been used it should be washed in warm soapy water, then when most of the moisture has been squeezed out, the leather should be placed loosely in a glass jar until next needed. A simple plan: but to follow it regularly means that you will infinitely prolong the life of the chamois-leather, and keep it beautifully soft as long as it lasts. VEAL AND HAM LOAF Excellent as a cold luncheon dish, or for picnics, is veal and ham loaf, a good recipe for which is as follows: Butter a good-sized basin and line it with thin slices of hard-boiled eggs. Cut very thin slices of veal and ham; put in the basin a layer of veal, season with salt and pepper; add a layer of ham, season with pepper but no salt, and continue adding layers of veal and ham alternately until the basin is full. Now make a plain stiff paste of flour and water, cover the top of the basin with this, and tie over all a double pudding cloth. Place the basin in a saucepan with boiling water up to the rim, and boil gently for three hours. Take up, remove cloth and paste, leave in a cold larder until next day, when the loaf may be. turned out and served as required. N.G. A REAL SAVING When you have only a small joint, a cake, or a steak to cook, put it in a turbine oven, or, failihg this, in a large biscuit tin. Make a few holes in the lid to leb out the steam from the food; place an asbestos mat over the gas-ring, put the turbine oven or biscuit tin on top, and inside it, in the usual baking tin, your, small joint or cake. No water should be put in the turbine oven. It acts exactly as does an ordinary oven. C.A. HOUSEHOLD HINTS A few "dont's”:— Don’t put pepper into anything that has to be fried. Its presence causes rissoles or croquettes to break in the frying pan. Don’t add flour to boiling milk when making a sauce. Blend the flour with cold milk, or the sauce will not bo free from lumps. Don’t fry onions in fat that is merely bubbling. Wait till the surface is still and a thin line of blue smoke arises from it. Don't let macaroni, or rice, boil longer than 20 minutes. And don’t forget to add salt when the water boils. Don’t put milk puddings in a hot oven, or pastry in a cold one. CLEANING TIPS Polish new copper and brass once a month, by using a little good furniture cream instead of a gritty metal polish. Thus the lacquer will not wear off. If straw 'matting needs refreshing, sponge it with strong salt and water. If it is very faded and stained, make it as good as new by giving it a couple of coats of good paint. Before applying the paint, scrub the matting well with soda and water and let it dry. To remove disfiguring smoke marks from the ceding, cover the soiled parts with a thick paste of starch and cold water, using a piece of clean white flannel to spread the mixture over the spots. Let the paste become quite dry; then brush it away with a soft brush. You will find that with the starch you have also brushed away the black marks. You can make use of many things you might be inclined to threw away! Starch, for instance, after it has performed its first duty, can be used instead of water for whitening doorsteps. and with much better results. Wood ash is the best of all metal polishers. Steel, brass and even aluminium can all be cleaned and polished with the flaky white ash that comes from burnt wood. SWEET CORN FRITTERS Drain half the contents of a tin of sweet corn; chop the corn and add a quarter of a pint of milk, the yolks of two eggs. salt, pepper and half a cupful of flour. Beat well together. Now beat up the whites of the two o"gs and add them also, with half a teaspoonful of baking powder. Have
