WOMEN’S WORLD.

Miss E., Sutton, Foxton, and Miss M. Perry, Eketahuna, are the guests of Mr and Mrs E. Gardner, of Church Street.

Mr and Mrs J. Mouqsey, of Palmerston North, are at present in Dunedin, and will later visit the Cold Lakes (Queenstown).

The firm of Messrs P. Robert and Co., entertained their, staff at Foxton Beach over the week-end. Mr and Mrs C. Roberts being host and hostess, Messrs J. Daly and A. Bruce accompanying them. The funeral of the late Mrs M. Sharman, M.A., one of Pahiatua’s oldest residents, took place at Mangatainoka and was largely attended. Deceased for some years conducted a private school in Pahiatua. Teachers of ballroom dancing, in Berlin, have now decided that there will be only one dance introduced each year. Last gear’s novelty was the “Six Eight,” consisting of a walk, chasse step, reverse turn, and side step.

The team from the St. Jospeh’s Tennis Club (Hastings), which visited St. Patrick’s Club over the week-end, were entertained at a social and dance on Saturday evening, the function proving most enjoyable. Dance music was played by Miss D. Raleigh, Misses G. o’Brien, M. Wilson, M. Stonehouse, D. Wischnewsky, and Messrs J. Trehey and T. Rodgers rendered items. A pleasant function took place at the office of Barraud and Abraham, Ltd., Rangitikei Street, Palmerston North, when the principals and staff entertained Miss E. McKee at afternoon tea on the eve of her leaving to take up nursing duties at the Palmerston North Hospital. Miss McKee was presented with a solid leather attache case, suitably engraved, and a cheque.

A good deal has been heard of the expenses of a Prime Minister, but one doubts if Mr MacDonald has to spend anything like as much in entertainment as some of his predecessors, remarks a writer overseas. Fifty years ago, for instance, it was considered proper for a Prime Minister to dine in relays, all his supporters in both Houses. It is true that any attempt to revive that old custom might be a little inconvenient just now. There would be rich humour in a dinner party at No. 10 for the revolting wing of the Government party. The afterdinner speeches would be worth hearing, especially as many of the revolters are stern teetotallers and would not have even the mellowing influence of a glass or so of champagne. I . | FOUR WALLS. It may be just four walls And nothing more. It may be just four walls, I An open door — A window where a light Burns cheerily— Your presence makes it right 1 Its home to me I We live in just four walls, It matters not If riches gild our halls, Or poor our lot. Wtih love to keep and bless, As each day falls, Well find true happiness In just four walls. It may be just four walls, A dreary scene. It may be just four walls, No stretch of green, No honeysuckle vine, No maple tree 1 If you’re there, heart of mine, Its home to me ! • —Anne Campbell. GALANTINE OF VEAL. A galantine makes a very successful luncheon dish and is also attractive for supper. You will need ljlb veal (when minced), slb bacon, four hardboiled eggs, 2 raw eggs, 4ozs breadcrumbs, 2 teaspoons chopped parsley, powdered mace, pepper and salt, I pint stock, meat glaze, butter, 1. carrot and two small onions. For galatine you will need a piece of the middle of the shoulder, or the meaty end of tho knuckle of veal. Do not get it too near the knuckle, or it will be gristly. If you buy from one and ahalf to one and three-quarter pounds of veal, this wjll allow for the bone ; or you can use veal cutlet, which is more expensive but has less bone. Remove the bone, skin the veal, and put it through a mincer. Then make some stock with the bone, if any, adding an onion and a little mace to flavour. Remove the rind arid then mince the bacon. Mix it with the veal, adding the bread crumbs, parsley,' salt, pepper -and mace to taste. Beat up the eggs and stir them in with tho stock. Have the four eggs ready hard-boiled. Remove the shells and let them cool. Arrange the prepared veal- mixture on the pastry board and form a fat roll about the desired length of'the galantine. Make a hollow down the centre of it and press the eggs into'it. Next draw the veal mixture over them, so as to cover them completely, and form a roll again. Roll it tightly in a scalded pudding cloth and tie it securely at each end like a roly poly. Put the roll into a pan with sufficient boiling stock or water-to cover it, adding the veal bone and prepared carrot and onion to flavour. Let the roll simmer gently for about an hour and a-lxalf. . Lift .the roll , out. carefully,

(By “GERMAINE.”)

and drain it. Unroll the cloth and let out the steam. Then roll the galantine in a clean dry cloth and tie it as before. Place a board or dish and two 21b weights on top of it iust to press it slightly. Leave the galantine till quite cold. Remove the pudding cloth and put the roll on a rack over a meat dish. Brush the galatine with glaze and leave till set, then decorate with butter beaten till creamy and forced through an icing pump. Trim off a slico at each end ana serve salad with it. The glaze can be obtained from most stores in small jars. CORNS. Some people dread to visit a chiropodist almost as much as to visit a dentist. Well, try applying alO per cent solution of salicylic acid (which any chemist will make, up for you) two or three times a day. This will soften the corns so that you- can dislodge them. In the meantime, wear soft felt corn rings to protect the corns. ELUSIVE SPOONS. No more hunting feverishly about the kitchen for your wooden spoons 1 Have a set to hang up. A shaped piece of wood attached to the wall, holds a little shelf with slots cut in it into which are slipped the handles of your spoons, etc., and oven your po-tato-masher will fit in. Underneath are cut two wooden hooks which hold the rolling , pin by its handles. BULBS FOR AN INVALID. If you have an invalid friend, think of her interest and joy in watching the unfolding and blooming of bulbs grown in fibre or earth in an attractive bowl which harmonises with her bedroom. Try to give the bulbs when they are nearly duo to bloom so that the waiting will not be too long. FASHIONS IN CAIRO. Writing from Cairo a lady tourist from the Southern Hemisphere states: “When I first arrived here I thought all tho women smart and marvellous; but after a time grew tired of their made-up faces. With the exception of the English women, they all make up a great deal. People of all nationalities arrive at the hotel where we are staying by hundreds every day. Some of the women are ever so smart, and, as usual, it is the English who are the best dressed. The women all look so neat about the head, with the new fantail shaped hats —slightly off the eyebrows. and spreading outward on the neck. The latest in jewellery seems to be wide cable chains of brilliants or thick many-stranded necklaces to match shoes.. .These necklets nearly always hang down the back. By the way, I have seen no smart women with hair growing down the neck arid turned up. All tne best groomed ones wore it fairly short, into the head, and sleek.” WEDDING. DONNELLY—STEWART. The -wedding was solemnised on Tuesday, February lltli, at All Saints’ Anglican Cliuech, Pplmerston North, of Vida Alice, only daughter of Mr and Mrs Stewart, Randwick Road, Lower Hutt, to Francis, son of Mr and the late Mrs Donnelly, Havelock .North.
