A bottle of glycerine is useful for many purposes in the home. It is helpful in removing stains, especially those made by tea or coffee, from fragile materials. Dab the stains with glycerine, sponge with tepid water and press on the wrong side. If windows or mirrows, or the windscreen of the car. are smeared with a little glycerine after polishing, the glass will not smudge again so quickly. As a beauty accessory for hands and face it is almost indispensable, and it may not be generally known that a spoonful of glycerine W’ill often cure an attack of indigestion.

The last social in honour of Miss Shepherd, who has recently retired from Orangapai to take charge of the private hospital in Gore, was given by the combined domestic and male staffs recently. In making the presentation, Dr Hamilton, assistant medical superintendent of the Waipiata Sanatorium, spoke very highly of Miss Shepherd’s high principles and consideration to her staff. On their behalf he had much pleasure in presenting her with a cheque, with a hope that she would be very happy and successful in her new sphere. Miss Shepherd was also presented with a finely-carved and upholstered footstool from the women patients of the sanatorium.
