A correspondent kindly sends directions for making a custard tart, in response to an inquiry made in this column recently. The recipe is as follows: To prevent the bottom crust of pies from becoming sodden; prepare the pie to be filled, and then beat the white of one egg, and brush the sides and bottom of the crust with this, and sprinkle with bread crumbs that have been grated. Do not use crust crumbs. Add the filling and put pie in ovep at once. The crumbs will not be noticeable, and the crust will be dry, as' the crumbs absorb all the moisture, and it will be a beautiful brown under the filling. The eaaie correspondent kindly sends directions for coconut maccaroons, which are as follow:—One cup sugar; f spoon cornflour; 3 whites of eggs; % pound coconut; £ teaspon salt; mix sugar, cornflour, and salt together Beat egg,,whites stiff, and add. Heat in double boiler while Btirring in coconut till still enough to mould. Mould into small balls or pyramids and place on buttered pans, and brown in a sow to moderate oven.

One never finds fault with any woman who, not being bountifully treated by Providence in the way of beauty, make's an effort to enhance her charnis, that is., so lonjj as she does not try to achieve good lepks by an overdose of p.aint or anything of that sort, so one feels frightfully sorry for an American actress who could not wear short skirts, because her leas were bandy, gays an exchange Otherwise she was. beautiful, so decided to remedy the leg defect. She pluckily had both legs broken in two places, so that she could have them both straightened. She was months in hospital, and whan she got out—here is where the tragedy occurred—fashions had changed, and everybody was wearing long skirts.

A member of the Ball Committee sends the following pleasant account of the projected Children's Ball in aid of the kindergartens:—Even the thought of the rainbow . dance should be delightful, to all the children of Wellington, and the, actual experience of tins splendid papeV and fancy dress ball will be one of everlasting pleasant memory. The word rainbow is suggestive of almost all conceivable colours which blend in an ecstasy v of brightness, making cheery happiness for all. The paper to make" the dresses can be purchased so reasonably, and such excellent results can be produced, that no one should have to stay at home. Those who have fancy dresses can wear them, and the effect of the whole dance will be enjoyment for the grown-ups who go to watch from the gallery. A balloon will be presented to every child on the floor, so that tha balloon dance should be a, great spectacle. The cause is splendid —Wellington's Free Kindergartens— which have done, and are doing, so much for our littlest citizens, and by going to the dance everyone is helping his or her fellow little citizen in lessons and play. The music is a feature, being supplied by Braund's Orchestra free of charge, and the supper tables have also been donated. There are prizes to be competed for, and a great deal of interest is being taken in the various items of interest. The committee has worked very hard, and now has all arrangements ' completed, so there is no doubt the dance will be the success it deserves to be. Everyone knows the night—Friday, this week; the place, Town Hall; the time, 7to 11 p.m.; the caus«, Free Kindergartens—and a splendid attendance is expected.
