KITCHEN EVENING FOR BRIDE-ELECT A delightful party was given to Miss Amy Matuschka, of Carruth Road, Papatoetoe, and Mr. Bert Redshaw, Birdwood Avenue, Papatoetoe, by the Methodist choir, in the Church Hall, Papatoetoe, on Saturday evening, prior to their approaching marriage. Games and competitions were played. Miss Thelma Heald being the winner of the competition. During the evening members of the choir gave the quartet, “Down on the Farm,” which was much appreciated by all. The guests were the recipients of many useful gifts. MAKESHIFTS Here are some ideas gleaned from a woman whose home happens to be miles from any place marked on the map: An especially heavy baking of cakes had appropriated all the available baking tins, and there was still enough mixture left to fill another. A biscuit tin was used for the purpose, and served admirably. On another occasion it was discovered that, in moving from another house, the rolling pin had been left behind. A glass bottle was used instead, and served the purpose equally well. Indeed, glass is better than wood for making light pastry. For the cutting of the pastry into biscuits, and rounds for jam tarts, the lid of a small cocoa tin served just as well as a pastry cutter. Soap-shakers are handy things, but scraps of-soap may be used up equally well if placed in an old mustard tin, with half a dozen holes bored in the lid. Moved about in the washing-up howl by means of a wooden spoon, this will give ail the lather that is needed. If you have no double saucepan in which to cook the porridge, you will do it equally well with a gallipot placed in the saucepan and surrounded with water. And if you have no whisk for the eggs or the cream, you will discover that two forks manipulated in one hand will be quite sufficient.
