Leach, of Masterton, and Miss Elflie Evelyn Smith, youngeßt daughter of Mr and Mrs J. Smith, also o£ Ma'sterton. The Rev. G. T. Brown, M.A., officiated. \ The bride, who was given away by her father, looked very pretty in a cream costume with hat to mfttch, and carried a shower - bouquet of white dahlias and roses. The bridegroom's sister, Miss Winfred Davis, acted as bridesmaid, and wore a_ heliotrope dress and black ha-t, trimmed with heliotrope, with touches of pink. She also carried a bouquet of heliotrope sweet peas, pink roses, and maidenhair fern. The duties of best man were carried out by Mr S. Smith, brother of the bride. The bridegroome's presents to *-he bride and bridesmaid were gold brooches. A reception was, afterwards held at the Wenvoe Tea Rooms, where the customary toasts were honoured. The happy couple left later in the day for New Plymouth, the bride's travelling costume bo : ng of riavy blue serge, with pan velvet hat. Mr and Mrs Davis's future residence will be in Masterton.

Mr and Mrs 0. J. Bennett, of Master ton, are at present staying at Muratai, Wellington. In France, they are now taking nulk and robbing it first of its fat. Then it is converted into curds by means of rennet. After the curds have been parboiled, exposed to the air and treated with acetone, u substance is obtained as plast.c as putty, aa tranlucent as alabaster; a substance which can be moulded or rolled. The product can be made bo soft that it can be used as a substitute for silk in the manufacture of fine underwear; or it may be made solid enough to serve as. a good imitation of ivory. The essentials of a good soap are that it should be well made from clean fresh fats, be freß from an excess of alkali, and that it should lather freely. Therefore, as all these things are necessary, it is usless to buy soap by an unknown maker. Choose one made by a . well-known manufacturer, and you will be safe. Cheap soaps are made from cheap fats, and prove a bad bargain Jn the end.
