ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT Constant Reader.—Recipe for Neapolitan Creams. First make a French cream by mixing the white of one egg, t'iblespoonful of thick cream and icing to make a thick paste. Divide into three parts. Add coffee or cocoa to one part to make it brown; leave one part white, and flavour with almond, lemon, or vanilla, and colour the third part pink with carmine or cochineal, and flavour with essence of roses or any other flavour if preferred. Put on a board dusted lightly with icing sugar and roll each part into a strip about half an inch thick. Slightly moisten surfaces and put one strip on top of the other. Cut into squares with a sharp knife, roll in crystallised sugar, and leave a little while to harden slightly.

WOMEN'S DIVISION OF FARMERS' UNION

NORTH CANTERBURY PROVINCIAL EXECUTIVE A well-attended meeting of the North Canterbury Provincial Executive of the Women's Division of the New Zealand Farmers;' Union was held yesterday morning, most of the branches being represented. Mrs H. A. Nutt presided. Motions of sympathy were passed with Mrs Colin Mcintosh in the death of her mother, and with the relatives of the late Mrs E. R. McCombs. Mrs H. Ellen was congratulated on being elected to the North Canterbury Power Board. Matters concerning the Winter Show, at which the division will have a space, and in connexion with Hay's competition, were discussed. It was announced that Mr Hay had agreed to remove the restriction that at least nine members must compete from a branch otherwise no prize would be awarded thut branch. As the country girls' educational course had proved such an unqualified success last year, it was decided to hold a course again this year in the spring. Mrs J. D. Hall was recommended as organiser of the women's division for the North Canterbury provincial district. Remits for the Dominion conference to be held in July were discussed. It was interesting to note that most remits were of a practical nature, and showed that branches and members were taking ;< keen interest in all matters affecting women and children not only on the land, but throughout the Dominion. Mrs Forrest, who was for many years organising secretary for the Birmingham Hospital for Cripples, told members how they could help crippled children mentally, physically and socially. She explained that this hospital had been started by a poor man, and lor the first, year its income was only £36 per annum, and had grown from that to £59,000. The speaker pointed out that many who could not help financially were able to help by visiting homes, teaching the children handcraft, and seeing that alt crippled children received treatment. As Mrs Nutt, and the secretary (Miss Cooper; represented the Women's Division at a meeting of the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Crippled Children's Society, recently called by the Mayor, this talk made u great impression on her audience. It was decided to send £2 2s to the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Crippled Children's Society as a gesture of goodwill, and to assure the society of the co-operation of the Women's Division in this great and necessary work. Delegates were also asked to speak to their respective branches on this matter, and .to ask members to show their practical sympathy by becoming members. Appreciation was expressed of the service given to the division by the "Sun" and "Times" newspapers, that will cease publication this week, and it was decided to send letters of thanks to the lady editors and lady reporters.

PIGEON HAY BRANCH Mrs Goodwin presided at the monthly meeting of the Pigeon Bay brcnch of the Women's Division of the Farmers' Union. The roll-call was "Antiques." Members have been very busy sewing and knitting this month for Nurse Maude, and as a result of their efforts two cases of clothing, one of new goods and one of used garments, were packed and sent away. It was announced that the branch would hold its first "500" tournament at the beginning of next month, when there will be a food drive for the Salvation Army Men's' Rest House. Competition results for June were:—Shortbread: Miss L. M. Kay 1, Mrs D. N. Waghorn 2. Junior section- —Sultana and nut loaf: Miss E. McKay 1, Miss V. Reynish 2. THE DANSANT The committee in charge of the arrangements for the the cUmsant which takes place from 5.30 p.m. to 7.H0 p.m. on Friday at the Winter Garden reports that much interest has been evinced and that the sales of tickets have been exceedingly satisfactory, and ensure that the dance will be most successful in every way. As in the case of similar dances held two years ago, all proceeds will go to the Plunket Society.

INFORMAL (iATIIERINf; Mrs T. D. Kendall earned the gratitude of members of the Canterbury Women's Club by aivanging a very enjoyable programme which was given at an informal party held at the club yesterday afternoon.

ADDINGTON CATHOLIC PARISH SECOND ANNUAL BALL Of the many parish dances held during the year, that of the Catholic parish, Addington, is always one of the most popular. This year's dance, held last night in the parish hall, Spencer street, was perhaps even more successful and enjoyable than its predecessors. The effective decorations to the hall and the excellent hospitality to the guests showed the good work of the ball committee, the members of which had spent much time in making arrangements.
