Bellringer, Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Amodeo, Mrs. R. Dickinson (Auckland), Mrs. C. Jensen, Miss D. Brown, and Messrs. W. Hall, C. M. Shadbolt, and G. Cashmore. When making a voile frock, take a straight piece of the material and pull out enough threads to hem up the bottom of the skirt. When making scones, add a tablespoon of cornflour to the usual mixture. Turn potatoes well over in the hot fat. before baking them. They will brown nicely, and will not shrivel.
