REFLECTED LIGHT If there is only one light in your bedroom and that is over the dress-ing-table and. yea want a better light—— perhaps, to read in bed by—tip up the mirror to an angle of about 75 degrees. The mirror will throw all the reflected light back on to the ceiling and noticeably improve the brightness of the room. ' The lighter the walls and. the ceiling are, the greater will he the reflected light. »

Y.W.C.A. HONOURS MISS N. MONCRIEFF LEAVING FOR CHINA A farewell reception was held at the Domain Kiosk yesterday afternoon by members of the Auckland Y.W.C.A. in honour of Miss Nessie Monerleff, who left by the Marama today en route to China, where she will represent the New Zealand Y.W.C.A. About 60 guests were present, the gathering being representative of all. the branches of the association. ‘ 311‘s. Bradstreet. president of the

YIVV.C.A., in introducing Bliss Mien—crieff, assured her of the support and friendship of every member of the association in the great Work which would be hers in China. In reply, llrliss Mioncrieff said it was imperative that, in regard to her future work, wherever relationships between countries were difficult, a friendly gesture should be made. Strained rclatonships still existed between Britain and China, but it seemed that New Zealanders and Australians got on very well with the Chinese usually. “In these days there is nothing quite so thrilling as being a member of a world organisation,” remarked Miss Moncrieff. “We can share ideas and ideals with women of ever so many other countries, and the more real we can make them, the more interesting we will find life. The one thing which made the Y.W.C.A. such a tremendous force in New Zealand life was because it was such a busy international organisation.” The speaker further stated that she had been endeavouring to specialise in New Zealand in work with girls from the ages of 14 to 20, so that she might carry this particular kind of work on in China. In Miss Moncrieff’s eight years’ absence from China, the country had made good progress. It had a board of governors consisting entirely of men and women of the Chinese race, and had taken full control of its affairs. ' , On behalf of the Y.W.C.A. members, Mrs. Bradstreet presented Miss Mon.criefif with a handsome necklace. Inlcluded among the large gathering‘ ) there were present:— l Mrs. Bradstreet, president; Mrs. C., IH. VVilson and Mrs. J. C. Dickinson,‘ ‘vice—presidents: Mrs. Daniels, Mrs.. Whitley, Miss Quayle, Mrs. J. W. Wise— ‘ man, IVlrs. French, Mirs. Todd Smith, Miss Jean Begg and Miss Bentham, members of the Board of Governors. A special welcome was also extended to Mrs. Bridgman, president of the Dunedin Y.W.C.A., and Mrs. Sutherland Ross, of Dunedin, the New Zealand representative to the world ofiice. - Mrs. Enoch Wood, the oldest mem-v ber of the Auckland Y.W.C.A., and the: mother of Mrs. Bradstreet, the present president, also attended the gathering.

VEAL SERVED WITH FRUIT— Is a favourite dish on the Continent and makes such an appetising change from vegetables. Cherries with, veal may sound rather alarming. But have you tried them? Bottled cherries will do, but fresh ones in their season are better still. Stone them and cook without sugar and serve in place of vegetables. Bananas are also excellent served with veal —like this: Rub the peeled bananas through a sieve, shape into balls with two spoons, and fry in deep fat. Arrange round the dish of veal, and the result is most appetising and tasty.
