WEDDING IN AUCKLAND A naval wedding which attracted considerable interest took place at St. Aldan’s Church, Remuera, Auckland, on Tuesday, when Miss Freda Hellaby, third 4 lu shter of Mrs Hellaby and the late Mr Richard Hellaby, Bramcote, Remuera road, was married to Lieutenant Leslie Richard Homer, R.N., of H.M.S. Chatham, second son of Dr. and Mrs R. L. Romer, of Stanmore, Middlesex, England. The ceremony was performed hy the Rev. W. Beatty in the presence of a large congregation, and the church was beautifully decorated. The bride, who was given away hy her brother, wore a gown of ivory satin de luxe embossed in gold thread with panniers of silk lace and georgette. The veil was caught round the head with a spray of orange blossom, and fell over a inched train of georgette. The bridesmaids, Miss Alya Savage and Miss r'nyllis Sweet, wore dainty frocks of pink georgette and pink tulle veils. Little Joan Hellaby, in pale pink georgette, acted as train-bearer. Lieutenant David Graham H. Bush, R.N., supported the bridegroom as best man, and Lieutenant W. A. Higgins, R.N., as groomsman. On leaving the church the bride and bridegroom passed under an archway formed hy the crossed swords of a guard of honour composed of officers of the squadron. A party of naval men drew the car of the bridal pair to Bramoote, where Mrs Hellaby held a reception, which was attended by Her Excellency Lady Jelliooe and the Hons. Nora and Prudence Jellicoe. The house was beautifully decorated with white and mauve flowers, and the wedding tea was served in the reception room, where, , after the bridal cake was cut by the bride with the sword of the bridegroom, wedding favours were distributed among the guests.

WOMEN’S DOGS “Love me, love my dog” is a quotation that conjures up a vision of pampered pets, pink ribbons, and silk cushions. But nowadays, “the Pom, the Pug, and the Pekinese” look sideways at the more sporting .types that have .usurped their place in'their mistresses’ affections. At the Ladies''Kennel Club Show at Knightsbridge, the prize for the best dog in-the show went to a greyhound (says a London exchange). Some fine exhibits were benched in Old English sheepdogs, Alsatians, and bulldogs, while those game little fellows, Sealyhams and West Highland terriers, were well represented. War-time prejudice against the sad-eyed dachshund is gradually disappearing, and he is Blowly returning, with no questions asked about his ns., tionality or his papers of naturalisation.

CAKES COOKED ON GAS RING HINTS FOR BACHELOR GIRLS. In response to a, request 1 for directions for cooking a cake with only a gas ring instead of an oven, a reader of an exchange has given the following directions, which are the result of her own inventive power and careful trials. She places a sheet of asbestos on the table, or other convenient place; then puts four bricks in a row; and on each of the two end bricks another brick. A benzine tin with one side neatly cut off is half filled with water. Place the gas ring on the four bricks, between the end ones, and the benzine tin on top. Place the food in jars, jugs, tins, or the usual utensils, whatever is convenient. For meat, vegetables, or fruit, put the jars into cold water. For sweets t pudding, cakes, etc., place the jars m the hottest part in boiling water. When cooking meat, vegetables, or fruit, the gas may he burned low, and they can eimmer for hours. Scones, milk bread, etc., can be cooked beautifully Iby the same methods after a little experience. Great care must he taken, if the gas ehould be left alight, to see that there is absolutely no draught which might drive back the flame into the pipe.” The whole thing has heen well thought out, and the lady who has experimented so successfully considers that she has found a comfortable solution for the difficulties of the many who are “roomers,” and only have a gas ring at their disposal. She can turn out nice, dainty little meals, with little expense, and a minimum of trouble. Doubtless there are many who will thank her for placing her inventive power and experience at their disposal.
