At the sale of work conducted by the Takaro Ladies’ Guild yesterday, the vicar (Canon G. Y. Woodward) read a telegram from Mrs E. Ricketts, now of Lower Hutt. who is a past president of the guild, conveying her greetings and good wishes for the success of the bazaar.

At the jubilee fair held by the Takaro Ladies’ Guild, yesterday, the vicar (Canon G. Y. Woodward) expressed regret that Mrs Langridge, who is president of the guild, was unable to attend. Mrs Langridge had forwarded her good wishes for the success of the effort.

Mrs M. Meredith, of Westhaven, Taranaki, a daughter of Mrs H. G. Bryant, of Manakau, is at present a patient in a hospital. She had lighted a benzine lamp in her home and when her attention was distracted she overlooked a billy of benzine nearby. This exploded, in consequence of which she suffered severe burns. It was fortunate that her face, although affected, escaped comparatively lightly.

The funeral, of the late Mrs W. Salmons, of Levin, was attended by a large number of •mourners. Services were conducted at the residence and at the graveside by Rev. W. G. Slade, and the duties of pall-bearers were fulfilled by Messrs R. Williams (Rechabites’ Lodge), T. Johnson and H. Harvey (Foresters), and M. Sutherland, H. Feigler and A. Mudgway (Levin Fire Brigade).

CLEANING IVORY. Ivory may. be cleansed by washing well in warm, soapy water, and placing in the sunlight, keeping it wet with the soapy water. Then wash and dry. It may be rubbed over with a little whitening, moistened with lemon juice. Leave the paste on until it dries and then rub off and polish. Treatment like this should be given at fairly frequent intervals, instead of waiting till the damage is beyond recall.

GLOSSY LINOLEUM. Many people complain that their linoleum always looks smeary, no matter how much time is devoted to polishing it. This is due to the fact that the polishing is done a little at a time instead of all at once. The linoleum polish should be applied to the whole surface before any part is polished. In this way a perfectly glossy “non-smear’' surface will be secured without effort.

MANAWATU WOMEN’S CLUB. The hostesses at the monthly meeting to-morrow, will be Mesdames S. J. Parkes, W. B. Cameron, and F. Gatley. Miss Wilkins will speak on “The Modern Outlook on Physical Development” ; Miss Cranston will contribute elocutionary items, and Mr E. G. Spraggon will be the vocalist.
