The garden party organised by the district W.C.T.U., which wajs held in Mr. Keane's fine gTounds at XMand Bay on Saturday afternoon, was a jjreat success. There was a good attendance of members and their friends, andl itlie funds of the organisation are likely to be satisfactorily assisted by the ey.ent. As the "year's work promises fo be a strenuous one with regard to -propaganda and work, members are anxkkis to increase tneir financial resources. Stalls for the sale of flowers, vegetalries, ices, soft drinksj etc., had been erecibed, and the afternoon tea was in the cdiarge of the executive of the -union. Mrs. Brierly was, in charge .of the. soft drinls; Mt. Brooks, pot plants, vegetables.,; Mrs. Horton, tennis, the "V" brar.wh; ice cream, Mrs. Clark. The gardenl party was opened by the Mayoress, Mr Si R. A. Wright, who; is president of the qtnion. | A well-arranged garden fete, winch was a great credit to the organisexa, the. Seatoun and Bays' Progressive Association, took place at Mr. H. P. Raiwson's garden on Saturday afternoon, th:4i having been kindly placed at the, disp (real of the association for a special effort. It is hoped to attain a really up-to-date, playground for children, and: the people themselves are making every effort tosvsards providing a fine and healthful placp for the young ones. The fete was opemsd by His Worship the. Mayor (Mr. 8,.. A. AVright, M.P.), who was introduced by the president, Mr. Parton, and who •congratulated the district on its progreseiveness. Nowadays everyone was ap* to run to the Government or municipality for help, forgetting that such help is given at the expense of the commuiaity. The help of such -associations as this was welcomed by the City Council, and '.the money raised was subsidised £1 for £1. Mi. Wright congratulated the committee, and wished them every success. Tftx. Wright was accompanied by the Mayoress, and they were received by Mr.' arid Mrs. Rawson and Mr. and Mrs. Parton. j Mrs. Davison, of Canterbury, and Mia* Davison were also present; also Dr. antl Mrs. Valintine, Captain Chudley, atul many Seatoun residents. There were> many attractions provided. Aunt Sally' found favour with the children, ai' character-reader in the old windmill ha*. many customers, while the punt on the» I pond was full of small boys enjoying; themselves in a more or less safe manner..': Ice creams were served in the summer-' j housej and afternoon tea was set-out« near the house at small tables, while. Braund's orchestra played on the veranyl hah. The ladies' cdfnmittee was in charge of the tea, consisting of Mesdames Parton, Gardiner, S. Myers, Wyatt, Taylor, -Murie, Inglis, North, Rawson, A.

Wyatt, Inglis, Murie, Richmond, Bennett, Beard, Campbell, Lavelle, Captain Chudley, Captain Hull, and Mr. H. W. Pilcber (hou. secretary). Two tomato recipes will probably be welcome, as the fruit—or vegetablesis plentiful just now:—To Bottle Tomatoes.—Preserve in the same way as fruitis done, using salt instead of sugar. Select good, firm tomatoes) scald them in boiling water, and remove the skins. Put them into jars, pressing them well down, shaking a little salt over each layer of tomatoes till the bottle is quite''•full. Just a pinch of salt is enough for each layer. It will be found that the tomato juice has mounted up and covered/ or nearly covered, the tomatoes, so that no water is needed. Put on the rings and screw down as when' preserving, fruit, and proceed exactly as for bottled fruit. These tomatoes turn out deliriously for winter use as a vegetable for soup, and,/ as they can be pressed down well without fear of bruising, a quart Mason jar holds a large quantity when well packed. Tomato Sauce.—Take 12lb tomatoes, 21b onions, two or three cloves or garlic, one level tablespoon mustard seed, one level dessertspoon salt, one teaspoon cayenne pepper, half-teaspoon cloves, half-tea-spoon allspice, £lb sugar, £lb raisins, one quart vinegar. Slice the tomatoes, j and slice the onions, put them into a preI serving pan with the raisins an 3 garlic, and cool gently until the, onions are soft. If the tomatoes are dry a little water should be added- Rub through a colander. Add the other, ingredients, tho cloves, allspice, and mustard seed bein" tied in a muslin bag. Boil quickly for about tin hour, then remove the spices. Bottle when cold. Cork the bottles tightly, ami after corking dip the tops in melted sealing wax or paraffin. Store i in a cool, airy place.

| An open evening for members and friends will be held-on 'Wednesday by the E.O.W. circle of the Pioneer Club. Mrs. Martin will give a paper on "Life On An Ostrich Farm," an. interesting subject that no doubt will, attract many, hearers. Hostesses for the week at the Community Club, Buckle-street, are the following:—This evening, Met. Tringham ;' Tuesday, Mrs. Herbert; Wednesday, Mrs. Spear; Thursday, Mil's Maitland; Friday. Miss Yon Dadelzeivsi ; Saturday, Mrs. Didabury; Sunday. REiss'' Cable. Under the auspices ,of t&e New Zealand Field Committee of the, Y.W.'C.A., a four weeks' cour^ for. volunteer workers and secretaries will commence in Auckland on Ist May. Mifiss Jean Stevenson, national industrial secretary of Australasia, will be in cftarge, and lectures will be given on dz^anieation and administration, Bible stuffy, current movements, and recreation. Many women will be muchr interested in the cabled news that Lady 'Bhondda's. petition to establish, her right -fco a seat in the House of Lords as a peereiw in her own rights has been granted. Tihis will mean that about nineteen other peeresses j will obtain the same privilege, aiifl. many will look for the last of these and their qualifications to make useful members of the legislature. Lady Rhondda's practical interest in the struggling, hard-work-ing, and living world around her, is well known, and much that is helpful may be looked; for front her courage %ndr clear common sense. Lady Aster andi Mrs, Whitringham will not feel quite so alone in the legislative world when they realise the moral support to them in the entrance of the peeresses to the governing body. . . - ■ As for the New Year fashions, -writes a London coi'respondent to the Australasian, there are several sources of inspiration. On the stage, Miss Iris Hqey is actually appearing in the garb of the ideal 1922 girl. After consultation with Lady Duff Gordon (the well-known Lucille,, of Hanover-square), MissHoey decided upon a gown with loose, wide sleeves, and a loose, long skirt. Her hat is composed of aigrettes; dyed to a wonderful shade of blue, which form a soft turquoise halo around the head, as they shimmer with the wearer's movements. As for her hair, Miss Hoey decided" that the 1922 girl will roll it in single curls, which are scarcely visible under the hot. The use of clay as an medium in schools is rapidly developing in Canada, stated Mt. J. Keele, Canadian Govern- I ment ceramic engineer, in a lecture at the Dominion Museum last week. He considered, that the training thus obtained was far better than that resulting from drawing or painting. The pupils were requiredl to make tiles and vases from their own designs, and these were fired and exhibited. The standard of design good, andi was steadily improving, because an "atmosphere" for this sort of work was being created. Moreover, the fact that the pupils' parents "weTe interested, and discussed the designs, developed the artistic sense in them as well; and the children's work, was often useful in supplying designs for commercial work. Mr. Keele aroused no little interest by displaying a tile made by Mr. J. M'Donald, acting Director of the Museum, out of Milton clay, from-a plaster cast of a Maori carving. It was an excellent example of the suit- j ability of some of tho Maori designs for repetition work, and would do very well, he said, for tiling fireplaces.
