THE HAWERA SHOW.

THE HOME INDUSTRIES DEPARTMENT. Probably no greater interest is taken in any section of the show than that displayed each year in the home industries department. This section since the show of 1906, has risen above all expectations, and year by year the entries get bigger, and the prospect of this year’s event seem brighter than all. The classes all through have been caerfully studied and the \Vorthy housewife or spinster can have ample variety of choice from the broad, scones and cakes to the more intricate fancy work. The variety of classes is most numerous and the prize money especially- commends itself to all and sundry. Provision is made for every class of cooking, including shortbread, sausage rolls, sandwiches, cream puffs, family cakes, iced apd ornamental cakes, jam rolls, plum puddings, pikelets, biscuits, home-made sweets, and every known delicacy. Then there are more substantial classes. One fowl (dressed aiid ready for cooking), collection of home-made sauces, jams, jellies, and bottled fruits. For -the benefit of those deft with the needle, come the classes of every description, of plain and fancy sewing, form the familiar crochet to the exquisite point lace. The prize money is well and evenly allocated and competitors have ample encouragement in the matter of prize awards. Guinea prizes are given in bread, scones, 'family cake, Madeira cake, jellies, fruits, and in fancy worked smocked child’s frock, cotton dress, muslin frock, table centre, and also coverings.
