NEW ZEALAND GIRL'S SUCCESS

ON ENGLISH STAGE A former student under the wellknown Lohse Trust of Christchurch for aiding the daughters of New Zealand clergy of the Church of England*, has been scoring a big success in London. The “Daily Sketch” of February says: Sent to England with a grant from a New Zealand association to enable her to pursue her dramafe studies, a sudden chance has come to Winifred Wayne, who stepped last night into the principal role of “ElHa Comes to Stay,” at the Regent Theatre, London. Eva Moore was so much impressed by Miss Wayne’s acting as Dale Ogden in “The Bat,” that when her husband's comedy was revived she suggested Miss Wayne for Eliza. Only 23 and the daughter of a clergyman, it may be a case of “Winnie Comes to Stay.” Miss Wayne is a daughter of the Rev. Oliver Dean, of Napier. A TASTY DISH Required: 6 apples, 2 to 3 oz. of butter, 6 croutons of bread, 2oz. of castor sugar, apricot jam. Peel and core tlie apples withou breaking them. Cut some slices of bread into rounds just large enough for the apples to stand on. Place the bread on a well-buttered fireproof dish and put an apple on each. Fill the holes of the apples with butter and sugar, and bake them in slow oven for about 30 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Put a little apricot jam on the top of each apple, and sieve castor sugar over them. Serve at once. There is always an element of danger in using petrol for cleaning purposes. For that reason it is difficult to understand why greater use is not made of carbon tetrachloride, which is the best of all cleansing agents. It is quite safe in use, will not injure colours or delicate fabrics, and is a sure solvent for grease. A pad of thick, clean blotting paper should be placed under the part to be treated, and a pad of clean linen should be used with a gentle circular movement. Silver should not be allowed to become very tarnished because of the excessive friction needed to remove the marks. But a mixture that acts on the most stubborn spots, and needs less rubbing than most agents, may be made with whiting mixed to a thin paste with olive oil. Why is boiled fish hard and “woolly”? Because it has been cooked too fast. If boiling fish, put it into hot, not boiling, water, then simmer gently until the fish is cooked—from eight to ten minutes to the pound, according to the thickness of the fish. m ! * Do not boil small cuts of fish, fillets or small fish, but steam them, either in a steamer or, in the case of fillets, between two greased plates placed over a pan of boiling water. Poaching and baking are also good methods of cooking small fish or fillets, but in both cases the cooking must be slow, or the fish becomes hard.
