There'are those who will tell you that this pudding is no longer to bo p. roly poly, as it is so much nicer cooked in layers in an ordinary pndding basin. Sticking to the pud-ding-cloth 6eems to be a common characterise ' tic of some people's roly poly. To prevent it doing this tlio pudding-cloth should be dipped into boiling water and then well floured. Next be careful in tying the cloth round the pudding that there is'plenty of room left in it for the pudding "to swell: The cloth, should be tied tightly at each end, but left loose in the middle.' A safety pin or piece of string will make the middle of the cloth secure. Mix a roly poly intoi a': stiff dough, using for the crust the .foliowing ingredients:—!lb. ;of -.flour. J teaspoonful baking powder, 3 or 4oz. of suet, ' salt, and, cold water. Jam or golden syrup mixed with" the juice'and grated rind of a lemon 'and. a . few breadcrumbs ' may be, used. Sometimes roly polies are made with bacon or minced meat. Keep the pudding well: cohered 'with boiling water all the time it is cooking, which should be at' least ,two v hours. ; FOR TO-MORROW. Crumbed ' mutton,' onion sauce, potatoes, pumpkin, bananas, 1 lemon, if liked, 1J pints of milk, 1 or 2 eggs, fat for frying, celery, vegetables .for soup. WOMEN ARTISTS IN THE EXHIBITION. After looking at the Academy pictures for a time it was borne in upon "Dominica's" mind .that' the women ; artists represented had good reason to be very proud of themselves, so largo a proportion of the whole did their work form, and so excellent .was it in quality. Taking a ; catalogue, and: keeping her eyes strictly upon , feminine, names, she began to maiko a lour of . the room with a view to getting an idea of their ,woi|k as a whole, arid she came out at the other end, rather dazed, but very much impressed. Of all the women exhibiting, Miss Baldwin AYarn-.is \ easily: first* with her picture of "The Braes of; Balquihidder," a delightful Btudy of a red-roofed mill, and stream, and trees. This was exhibited some time ago at the Royal; Academy, where it won the-hon-our-of being hung on the line. Besides this Miss Warn has some excellent portraits and two minatures. Two of the portraits are of one, lady, who_is 'a sister of Judge Richmond's, and a very early settler in New Zealand. They give an excellent idea of the strength and sweetness that characterise the subject, one of the- noblest women in the Dominion. ' Miss . Sybil Johnson's two best pictures, are charming in colouring, and the picture of the two. children with a parrot is' delightful. Miss Holriies • has > two or three • charming little sketches in water colour of characteristic New Zealand scenes, bush, and purple distances. Miss Stoddart's flower studies are charming, but she gives them somehow a- touch of unreality, or fairy-likeriess, that docs not appear in her landscapes. A new exhibitor is Miss Estelle Beere, who has several' very successful flower studies.: Miss Mabel Hill, who usedi to be a frequent exhibitor, but who .has'not sent anything to the Academy for 'some years,'has several pictures in. this time, aud her friends, hope that shtiiwilLcontinue to exhibit at thej annual .shows./ _. Some of Miss D. K. Ricfiiribrid , than ■ anything she has hitherto shown. Her. "Enchanted Grove," a.picture of-trees and curiously twisted bramble,'is full of feeling, and the ''Black;-Birch"- is-;a-~ charming-little bit: of woodland. Miss Eila- AVilliams- exhibits two very attractive pictures, one of which "La Place Verte Montreuil Sur Mer," was exhibited a year ago in the Paris Salon. Miss Richardson' shows several careful portrait,'" one a" very curious study in browns and a charming little sketch of violets. Miss 'May -Lingard, who returned a few months ago from a course of study abroad; has some interesting work, one of the most attractive being a picture of a young. girl picking water lilies .and moonlight solitude, and the "Italian Boy," are excellent pieces of work. Mrs. Al B. God- . den shows a variety-of charming pictures, landscape and portraits, in oils, and two large portraits ii pastel, with richly-coloured robes.; .. " f
