DAUGHTER HONOURED

A delightful party was given by Mrs. J. M. Mackenzie at her home in Oriental Bay recently, in honour of. her infant daughter, Mary Claire. Two big rooms • overlooking . the harbour were tastefully decorated with! Iceland poppies and sol dors. A recitation by Mrs. G. Castle, which was- greatly appreciated, and competitions helped to make a most enjoyableafternoon. A delicious afternoon tea was served in the dining-room. The guests, who were received by Mrs. Mackenzie (wearing a frock of wine marocain) included:—Mesdames A. E. Budd, F. Cooper, j. Cromb, C. M. Banks, E. B. Vance, W. T. Richards, T. Wilson, A. Warden,; p. ■R. Richmond, C. V. Sutherland, H. Hanson, J; Dalgleish, A. Marsden, J. McCarthy, J. Griffiths, W. B. Reilly, G. Castle, J. Lauchlan, G. S: Hill, J. Barclay, M. J. . Quirke, and R. Rodger, and Misses M. Cummings, H. Taylor, J. Sutherland, S. Banks, N. Hill, and K. Woolley. If linen, after ironing, is placed in the sun, it will be much stiffer than if dried slowly. To keep linen white, wash well and blue in very blue water, then put away rough dry. This will bleach it. , To clean real lace, baste it carefully on to muslin, lay it on a table, and, with a fine brush or sponge, cleanse it with soap and water. When clean, roll up in the muslin and rinse well. Squeeze it,.but don't wring. Shake out and, when nearly dry, dron on a wellpadded table (still on.the" muslin).
