BUILD YOUR COSTUME AROUND A JEWEL

Perhaps the most striking aspect ot the modern mode is the tendency to build a costume around a single, noteworthy jewel. In consequence, the brooch is receiving more attention today than at any time in its thirty centuries of history. Its significance in the strategy of dress can scarcely be overestimated. The reason for this is not hard to find. Even the most skilfully designed costume falls short of perfection unless it has some centre of interest, some touch of light and brilliance, to give it emphasis. And this is supplied most effectively by a jewelled ornament upon the gown itself. In an ornament so conspicuous as this it is obvious that the character of the design is all-important. It need not be of overwhelming value, but it must be marked with beauty and good taste. TWO BISCUIT RECIPES CINNAMON BISCUITS Half a pound of butter, 51b sugar beaten together; add Jib ‘flour, Jib ground rice and two eggs. Mix "together, dissolve 1 teaspoonful soda in half-teacup of milk; stir into mixture and add one grated nutmeg, spice and cinnamon. Roll out very thin and cut in rounds. Bake till brown in moderate oven. Remove from tray and leave to cool; then ice one side and place jam between. PEANUT BISCUITS Mix 11b butter, 11b sugar, halfteaspoonful salt, one cup of flour, one egg (beaten), two teaspoonfuls cocoa and Jib peanuts to a stiff paste. Place on cold tray and bake till light brown.

PRETTY WEDDING

Parker, of Happy Valley, to Harry, second son of Mr. and the late Mrs. Payne, of Port Albert, took place in St. James's Presbyterian Church, Pukekohe, on Wednesday last. The Rev. J. Pattison officiated and Mrs. J. Bland Parker presided at the organ. The bride, who was given away by her eldest brother, wore a graceful frock of ivory lace and crepe de chine over pale pink, with a hat to tone. She carried a bouquet of pale pink asters and maidenhair fern. The bridesmaid, Miss Elsie Luke, a niece of the bride, wore a frock of pale green cclanose with a hat to tone, and carried a bouqut of mauve asters and maidenhair fern.

The bride travelled in a fawn crepe j de chine frock with a fawn coat and a fox fur to tone.

THE TURKISH MODE OF MAKING COFFEE

The Turkish way of making coffee produces a very different result from that to which we are accustomed. A small conical saucepan something like the English beer-warmer, with a long handle, and calculated to hold about two tablespoonfuls of water, is the vessel used. The fresh roasted berry is pounded, not ground, and about a dessertspoonful is put into the minute boiler; it is then nearly filled with water, and thrust among the embers. A few seconds sufficie to make it boil, and the decoction, grounds and all, is poured into a small cup, which fits into a brass socket, much like the cup of an acorn, and holding the. china cup as that does the acorn itself. The Turks seem to drink this decoction boiling, and swallow the grounds with the liquid. We allow it to remain a minute, in order to leave the sediment at the bottom. It is always taken plain, sugar or cream would be thought to spoil it, and Europeans, after a little practice, are said to prefer it to the clear infusion drunk in France. In every hut these coffee boilers may be seen suspended, and the means for pounding the roasted berry are always at hand.

OBSTETRICAL APPEAL

louring the week-end an attempt was made to interest the residents of the Waikato district in the “Save the Mothers’’ appeal. Mrs. Alfred Kidd and Hr. Buckley Turkington visited several centres where extreme interest I was shown in the appeal. At Huntly, Dr. and Mrs. McDermott, jun., have undertaken to form a committee in their district. At Ngaruavahia Dr. and Mrs. Martin, with the Mayor, have promised that their quota shall foe £7O, and have formed an enthusiastic committee. At Te Awamutu, the Mayor and Mayoress, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Downes, have already started the good work, and are forming a committee. They will probably include a fete among their activities to raise money. At Kihikihi. Mrs. Wynyard has promised to help in the work in her district. At Cambridge the appeal has been started by Mrs. Symons, Mrs. Neely, and Mrs. Grummitt. This centre promises to be extremely active, and great interest is being shown. Hamilton formed its committee some weeks ago, and its president, Dr. Sophia de la Mare, feels that it will definitely raise a quota of £SOO. It has an active committee, which has already started to divide its district into blocks. Several people aged more than 90 received the King’s Christmas gift of coal at W indsor. Douglas Fairbanks is seeking a retund of £.,10,000, which he says he has overpaid in income tax.

1 WHANGAREI WEDDING

RHUBARB WINE

A BRISK BEVERAGE LIKE CHAMPAGNE Take fifty pounds of rhubarb and thirty-seven pounds of fine moist sugar. Provide a tub that will hold from fifteen to twenty gallons, taking care that it has a hole for a tap near the bottom.

In this tub bruise the rhubarbji when done, add four gallons of water, let the whole be well stirred together; cover the tub with a cloth or blanket and let the materials stand for twentyfour hours; then draw off the liquoi; through the tap; add one or two more gallons of w’ater to the pulp, let it be well stirred, and then allowed to remain an hour or two to settle, then draw; mix the two liquors together and in it dissolve the sugar. Let the tub be made clean, and return the liquor to it, cover it with *. blanket, and place it in a room the temperature of which is not below 60 degrees Fahr. Here it is to remain for twenty-four, forty-eight, or more hours until there is an appearance of fermentation having begun, when it should be drawn off into the tengallon cask, as fine as possible, which cask must be filled up to the bunghole with water if there is not liquor enough. Let the tub lean to one side a little that it may discharge itself; if there Is any liquor left in the tj’b not quite fine, pass it through flannel, and All up with that instead of water. As the fermentation proceeds, it must be filled up daily, to encourage the fermentation, for ten or twelve days. It then becomes more moderate, when the bung should be put in, and gimlet-hole made at the side of it fitted with a spile; this spile should be taken out every two or three days, according to the state of the fermentation to allow some of the carbonic acid gas to escape. Wheu this slate is passed, the cask may be kept full by pouring a little liquor iu at the vent-hole once a week or ten days, for three or four weeks.

This* operation is performed at long intervals of a month or more, till the end of June, when on a fine frosty day it should be drawn off from the lees as fine as possible, and the turbid part passed through flannel. Make the cask clean, return the liquor to it with one drachm of isinglass (pure), dissolved in a little water; stir the whole together and put the bung iu firmly. Choose a clear, dry day in September for bottling. The bottles should be champagne bottles—common wine bottles are not strong enough; secure the corks in a proper manner with tvire, etc. The liquor is generally made up to two or three pints over the ten gallons, which is bottled for the purpose of filling the cask as it is wanted. The wine contains spirit enough without the addition of bjandy, which spoils all wines; a proper fermentation producing spirit enough. Tlle way to obtain a dry wine from these materials is to keep the cask constantly filled up to the bung-hole, daily or every other day, as long as any fermentation is perceptible, by applying the ear near to the hole; the bung may then be put in lightly for a time, before finally fixing it. It may be racked off on a fine day in JuDe, and fined with isinglass as above directed, and bottled in September. AN ECONOMY HINT Should you want to use fewer eggs in any recipe, allow half-teaspoonful more baking powder and two tablespoonfuls more liquid for each egg left out. At least one egg, however, must be used.
