Woman's World.

ITEMS OF INTEREST Mr. and Airs. R. AL'. Stevens ami Muster Barry Stevens leave to-day on a visit to Havvkes Bay. Like everyone else in Britain, I lie Queen must present her ration card every time she fancies for a meal a bit of meat, lard, dripping or kitchen fat. Because she moves about so much, the Queen is recorded for rationing purposes as a traveller. She was in evening dress and he in neat navy. They boarded a tram, he carrying a bottle very carelessly wraplied up. One thin elderly woman could not keep her scorn to herself. “Disgusting 1 call it,” snapped she loudly. “Young people going to dunces and taking drink with them.” The young man blushed, but the girl (his wife), grabbed the bottle, unwrapped it, pulled out the cork and thrust it undcrlhe nose of Airs. Buttiusky. “It’s what I imagine you live on, ” snapped the youthful wife, “vinegar. And ;we are taking it to my aunt for her to dress salads with for to-night, which is a church social.” Armed with her vinegar in one hand and clutching her husband with the other, the girl bounced off the tram, leaving an amused crowd and very red faced and foolish-looking the woman who had spoken too soon. RECIPES QUICKLY- At ADD ORANGE CAKE Put in a bowl .1 cup hour, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 eggs, 4 tablespoons orange juice, grated rind of 1 orange 2 tablespoons milk, ;]■ cup sugar. Beat ■o minutes, sift in i teaspoon bicarb, soda and 1 teaspoon cream of tartar. Blend well, pour into well-greased sandwich-tins and. bake 20 minutes in moderate oven. LEVER RISSOLES - . One pound of liver (with skin removed), 1 onioii, 1 cup breadcrumbs, i cup flour, h nutmeg, 2 eggs. Chop or mince liver fine, cut onion into .small pieces, place all in a basin and mix. Have ready a pan with hot butter, drop iu mixture by spoonfuls, fry brown and servo with a little gravy. DO NOT WASTE DRIPPING/ By adding to every jib. of dripping, 1 tablespoon of lemon-juice and a pinch of bicarb, soda the dripping will be equal to butter and suitable for cakemaking. Fat used for frying fish can be made usable again if it is put into a saucepan with potato peelings, brought to the boil, strained and cooled. This removes all taint. If dripping is past using for cooking it is still useful. A little on a rag rubbed over the stove while the stove is hot keeps it in good condition and free from rust. The rags used are good for starting a fire; a little fat dropped among the chips is much safer and less expensive than kerosene r.nd may also be used for the bath-heater. After dirty work a little dripping and sugar rubbed into warm hands before they are washed in warm water will remove all trace of grime. Good for Sore Throats. Woods’ Groat Peppermint Cure.

THE PRINCESSES IN WARTIME Princess Elizabeth and her sister are making their country’s war eflort. They each bought with their own m, >jy, u Inch they had saved themselves, a number of National Savings Certificates. When at Deeside their nurse, in consultation with the Queen, started a work parly, on the same lines as Her Majesty ’s at Buckingham Palace. Alostly knitting of all sorts was umierlakcii, as the wives tenants and farmers on the estate liked to be able to do this in odd moments in their own homes. Lhe collections of finished articles were then sent to a Central Red Cross Depot iu Aberdeen. Alone and unaided the Princesses finished several pairs of long white woollen bed socks, and they still .continue to work diligently for this Group. From time to time they choose rut themselves clothing which they no longer need, pack it, and send it away ' for the use of children who have been evacuated from, the poorer districts. For a long time now the Princesses have been keen Guides, and in Scotland they got the children who had been sent up north to join the Balmoral Company of Girl Guides, to • which they belonged. Rationing is carefully followed in, the Princesses’ household, both as regards school room menus, and 1 n heating and lighting, in which strict econoinv is exercised. The children too now only need simple schoolroom frocks, for there are no more parties, and even their dancing class Iras been discontinued. They go up to London sometimes for the day, on special occasions like Queen Alary’s birthday, but down in the country they need fewer clothes, and here,'in winter, cear woollen jumpers in soft colours with hills or tweed skirts, and in summer shortsleeved washing print frocks. the Princesses are still nearly always dtesscd alike. FUN The (Sunday School teacher was explaining to the children how Sunday came to be instituted. “The Lord worked for six days,” she said, “and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day and hallowed it. Now, has any child any question to ask?” Willie put up his hand. “Willie wishes to ask a question. What is it, Willie?” “Why did the Lord pick such a dead day as Sunday for a holiday?” asked Willie. The teacher couldn’t explain. THRILLER In the kitchen the boy evacuee stood watching the lady of the house try out her new recipe. Picking up her cookery book, she read intently for some time," then, placing it buck on the table, proceeded to mix the ingredients. Stirring the mixture for some time, she hesitated, and then, picking up the book read again. This process of mixing and reading was watched with mixed feelings from the doorway, and at last the boyblurted out: “Gosh, missie, that must be an exciting story-!’’ LAZY GUMS M'-dern soft foods arc delicious, but for wani, of exercise the gums become tender, bleeding and diseased.
