The Tawa Flat branch of the Pluuket Society held a very successful “Shopping Day” and social afternoon' recently at the residence of Mrs. P. Wickham.

Cook and an enjoyable afternoon tea was served indoors by Mesdames C. Mexted, E. Hoare, M. Mexted, and F. de Clifford. A hearty vote of thanks was z accorded to Mrs. Wickham.

"To Be Addressed As Mrs."

Al] women workers in Czechoslovakia post offices will, in future, be addressed as “Mrs.,” whether they are married or not. This rule, enforced by official decree, will bring to an end a confusion which has been causing serious trouble to Post Office officials for many years. In the past the women workers could be called either “Miss” or “Mrs.” Many of them, especially those in high positions, preferred to be called “Mrs.,” maintaining that it entitled them to more respect. Now all the women will be called “Mrs.,” at least until the end of the year, when the question will be considered again.

Miss Valerie Corliss, A.R.A.M., has left for Palmerston North, where she will inaugurate a branch of the British Music Society. She will give a short recital of pianoforte music.

When making pancakes, add half a cup of water to the milk. They will be much lighter and nicer than if all milk is used.
