Mrs. yon Haast had benefited by a stay at Eastbourne. Miss ■ Victoria Drummond, supernumerary on the Auehises, which arrived in Sydney last October, although she avoided every reporter anxious- to interview this first woman ship engineer, was at last "run to earth,'' says a writer in an exchange. Miss Drummond, with her^overalls discarded for a neat blue serg\ suit, worn with a white silk , shirt, blue tie,' and pull-on felt hat, told how she had served her term in the shipyards before going to sea, and that on the Auehises stood her watches the same as the men. -"Yet, much as I am in earnest about engineering," she said, "there's one thing I like even better—and that is darning socks. I could darn socks all day, and never get sick of it. Why did I take up engineering, then? Oh, I'd been in the workshop during the war, and thought I'd like to go through with it. I think I must have a peculiar temperament, because I love 'dancing arid domesticity and. pottering about gardens and farms, yet at the same time as soon as I get into overalls I feel as if the only place worth being in is the engine-room." While in Sydney Miss Drummond was made an honorary member of the Institute of Marine Engineers. Asked if she would continue going to sea, to qualify for a ticket, Miss Drummond said sjie did—-not know. . she •would follow her Australian trip with a to China. But the statement to the secretary of the Marine Workers' Union that she is not likely to go to sea again makes, it seem that Miss Drumjnond may follow her other ambitions. "Perhaps I shall go into Parliament," she said. "I would like to do that, and stumping'the country appeals to me as much as darning socks. And 1 that's saying a lot." There is evidence that some of our lady teachers are not without practical initiative, says the "Star." The inspector reported to the Auckland Education Board that the teacher, Miss .E. M-'Guoid, and pupils had painted the school at Brooklyn. The board decided to write thanking Miss M'Guoid and the pupils for _ their creditable voluntary work. . ■ . • Weddings by wireless, with the clergymen reciting the ritual at San Francisco, and the couples having' their responses broadcasted from the Grand Central Pal-, ace, an exhibition hall in New York, were declared illegal by the AttorneyGeneral of the State, Mr.' Charles D. Newton. Mr. Newton declares that-it is essential to the legality of the marriage contract in New York that the parties shall be within view of each btjier. A message of regret that she was upabje to attend the meeting. in connection with the "Paddy's. Market" effort to assist the- funds of the Community Club was received from the Mayoress, Mrs. ,R. A. Wright, with the promise of the occasional use of her room at the Town Hall for some pi the future committee meetings. Beans are in full season just now, and a recommended recipe for preserving I from sin exchange will, perhaps, be useful. These are two methods :—Goodsized earthenware pans are secured, and at the bottom of these vare spread layers of' salt. vThen the beans, freshly gathered, are placed out and covered in with a little salt. Next day the same processis repeated, and so on throughout the whole season. The preserved beans are eaten from the pans all through the winter. To prevent their being too salt, soak overnight in water. The beans can then be cut up pr cooked whole in the usual manner. Another method is to cleanse and carefully prepare fresh, sound beans. Cut them if necesaary. Pack in bottles or jars as you would fruit. Fill the bottles to overflowing | with cold water, adding two teaspoon- . fuls of salt to each pint of water. Pack the bottles in the pan, witli hay or rag between-them. Now pour i n cola water to come as far up them as possible without risk of it boiling into them.' Cover pan and heat the water very gradually to boiling point. Let it boil gently for "anythin?, up to 60 minutes, according to the hardness of the vegetable. Then lift out the bottles, pour into each bottle enough warmed mutton fat. to mekn-ar inch-deep layer. "Finish as for fruit. Shelled pews may be preserved in the . same way, but should be boiled longer.

The decision of the Mayor's Committee to call in the services of the Navy League Executive was a happy one, for the dance giveD the petty officers and men of the French warship Jules Michelet in the Town Hall on Saturday evening was in every way delightful. The decorations consisted of flags, which were strung from the balconies, while at, each side of the stage was hung the Tricolour of France, the centre being covered by the Union Jack. A little shyness prevailed at first, but when, after playing "La Marseillaise," . the orchestra broke into a lively fox-trot, a language was spoken which all could interpret, and soon the floor presented a very gay appearance. During the evening vocal items were given by Madame Clinton Hunt, Miss Eileen 'Driscoll, MM. L. Jouan, Roger Garrard, and Georges St. Mezere, Mr. F. Bown recited and Misses G. Ward and K. Kirby' delighted the guests with their Dutch dance. M. Jouan is the possessor of a particularly delightful tenor voice, and he was compelled to respond twice with encores. Supper was served underneath the gallery, and special praise is due to Mrs.-Phillips Turner and the committee, who were, responsbile for this .very important feature of the - entertainment. Among those present were the Mayor (Mr. R. A. Wright, M.P.) and Mrs. Wright, Capitane de F. Frigate Heu^ nigue, Commandant en second Ferret, Officer Mecanicien Principal Bruel, Enseigne Jouslin, Commander Siddels and Mrs. Siddels, Mrs. Pow, Monsieur dv Flou, and Madame dv Flou, Mrs. Norton, Mr. Cecil Palmer^ Mr. and Mrs. J. Darling, Mrs. Seville, and several members of the French Club. Miss Ivy Young (daughter of Mr. W. D. Young, of the Tourist Department, Rotorua), who left some months ago to accept an engagement with Miss Ada PLeeve's company in Australia, has, according to private advice received, secured an engagement for a tour of India, China, and Japan. Miss Young, who is professionally known as Miss Ivy Norton, is very, well known in Rotorua, and during tffe war was prominent in various patriotic funds, and the news of j-hsr success is most gratifying to her I many friends. A correspondent has kindly sent a recipe for plum sauce, in response to a request in this column. The recipe is as follows:—6lb plums, 3 pints vinegar, 21b brown sugar, |- teaspoon cayenne perppr, 2 teaspoons whole" black pepper, 2 teaspoons cloves, 2oz whole ginger bruised, 6 dessert spoons of salt. Boil all the ingredients together for one hour and a half and strain. It is advisable to put the ginger, cloves, and pepper in a small muslin bag. This is highly recommended as delicious and appetising. The death of a well-known and respected lady, Mrs. Griffin, wife of. the Rev. T. N. Griffin, occurred at her residence, Papanui road, Christchurch. on 26th January. Mrs. Griffin had many friends in both the North and South Islands. She arrived, as a small child with'her parents, the late Mivand Mrs. de Carteret, by the Norma Hall in 1859. The family belonged to Jersey, Channel Islands. They settled at Papakura Valley, but had to take refuge in Auckland during the Maori War, her father and brothers joining the ranks of the defenders. Mr. and Mrs. Griffin were married in 1884, and. they lived in various parts of the Dominion, Mrs. Griffin winning friends,everywhere, so that there will be widespread regret ,at her death, and sym- j pathy with her husband and four daughters, one of whom is at the Indian Mis-I sion School, Dilkusha, Fiji. i
