"HULA” CLUB ENTERTAINS BRIDE-TO-BE A stores evening was given on Wednesday in the Parish Hall, Papakura, to Aliss Alma Dryland, who is shortly to be married, by the girls'of the Huia Club.

A very dainty supper was served by the members of the club during the evening. Excellent dance music was supplied. RUST ON THE GAS STOVE When the steel part of the gasstove is so badly rusted that emerypaper fails to “do the trick,” apply a mixture of vinegar and brickdust with a piece of flannel. Rub well into the steel. This will remove the actual rust, and the emery-paper will accomplish the subsequent polishing without further trouble.
