Fabisli, Fulford Street, New Plymouth, and Mr. Albert John Murdoch, of Mosgiel. The ; bride, who was given away by her : father, wore a charming frock of white crepe de chene, jind the usual vail and wreath of orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet or maiden hair fern with white chrysanthemums. The bridesmaid was Miss Grace Fabish, sister of the bride, who wore a dainty dress of pale pink lustre, a black hat trimmed with pink, and carried a pretty bouquet of violets. Mr. Ben. Wisnewski acted afi best man. The bride and bridegroom received some handsome presents and many cheques. The bride's travelling costume was a navy blue gabardine, with hat to match. The happy couple left by the afternoon train en route for the north, where the honeymoon will be spent.. RECIPES. Onions cooked in the following way with bacon for breakfast are very appetising:—Cut a large onion into slices of about a quarter of an inch in thickness, cover with cold milk and soak for ten minutes. Drain, dredge with (lour, and fry in bacon fat for five minutes. They cook through and brown quickly. Apples cut into slices and fried until brown with bacon are very delicious, and especially good for children. If gingerbread or cake is made wth wheaten meal instead of refined flour it is more wholesome and-gives the cake a looser grain.

BABY NOTES. The tallies of New Plymouth are setting us all a good example as far as fashions arc concerned", for tliey refuse to wear frills and furbelows any longer. "Simplicity" is their motto, and Plunket clothes are the reigning fashion amongst them. Some clever little children in New Plymouth intend to help the fund for St. Mary's Peace Memorial by playing "Snow-white" at the Social Workers' Hall on July 10. Women, it is admitted, says an exchange, are playing an important part In the wave of price collapses which is Itprtading over the United States. The;

have presented a solid and united front to the profiteers, and have evidently put as much enthusiasm into saving as formerly into spending. New Zealand women should copy their enthusiasm and cohesion in attacking this very serious problem.
