BISCUIT RECIPE

WEDDING

fn reply to a request a correspondent has kindly scmt the following biscviit recipe:—lngredients: One cup of (lour, one cup of milk, one egg, for sweet biscuits add quarter-cup of sugar, for chocolate biscuits add one tablespoon of cocoa. Method: To make biscuits, place lib of pure lard in a saucepan or similar vessel, bringing to a smoke boil, then allow to cool slightly. Place mould in the lard, leave for one minute to get thoroughly hot, shake off loose lard from mould, place quickly in batter when batter will instantly cling to mould, then lift out and replace in boiling lard and leave for half a minute, when biscuit will be a crisp brown. To remove biscuit from mould, tap mould slightly and biscuit will readily fall. These may be served as either sweet or savoury biscuits. Note. —When placing the hot mould in batter, do not allow batter to cover the top, as this will prevent the biscuit from being separated from mould when it is cooked.

MUSICIAN ENTERT/ JED

The Pioneer Clubrooms were filled to overflowing recently, when a reception was held in honour of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Grainger by the Music Teachers' Association. The president, Mr. Gordon Short, expressed the great delight felt by musiclovers in having such a distinguished composer and musician as Mr. Grainger in their midst. He emphasised the great zeal shown by their guest for the cultivation of music as a spiritual force in the life of the community. Mr. Grainger's whole personality radiated a love of music in its relationship to community well-being. His voluntary addresses and performances at so many gatherings of school children during his visit to the Dominion were a strong inspiration to the younger generation, arid Mr. Grainger's influence upon the future of music in the country would probably prove to bo Incalculable. Mr. Grainger spoke of the desirability of the nation participating in music-making in groups, thus fostering a general interest in this lovely form of self-expression. He dwelt upon the extent to which music formed part of the national self-expression in the earlier centuries, when sight-singing was considered an essential part of education. Every effort should be made by music-lovers to foster this most important branch of national life. Speaking as a composer, he often felt

like writing music for his exclusive personal satisfaction, but then reflected that music should be of service tc the community. DAILY USE OF MUSIC. Instances were given of the daily use of music in the lives of South See Islanders to the advantage of theh emotional existence. ' Such example could well be followed by more sophisticated nations. Many examples were given of works intended for such group performances in the earlier centuries, the works for string instruments by Purcell being specially mentioned The true sense of musical education should be the grasping of the musical substance of a composition. In his student days there had been an undue worship of virtuosic speed, to the detriment of the higher" qualities of music Prior to the reception a musical programme was given by successful candidates for the Licentiate examinations of the Royal Schools of Music and Trinity College (1934). The performers were Misses Kathleen Sims Dorothy Robson, Rita Lowe, Jeanne McLeod, Nancy Hausmann (accompanist Miss Garrett), Daisy Rait, Josic Bertie (accompanist Mr. Maxwell Fernie), Norm a Pargetter, Patricia Beckett, and Edna Bray.
