MILITARY WEDDING BUCKINGHAM—WHITE St. Audmv’s Anglican Church was the scene of a pretty wedding when Joy Pauline, daughter of Mr and Mrs Wilfred White, was married to Raeburn George Buckingham, son of Mrs Gunn, of Cambridge. The Rev. Canon C. W. Chandler officiated and' Mr R. Boyce presided at the organ. The bride, who entered the church with her father, looked charming in a model two-piece frock of dusty pink. An effective contrast was achieved with a navy model hat and accessories, and she carried a bouquet of pale pink asters, delphiniums, and maidenhair fern.

She was attended by Miss Laura Macintosh who wore a model frock of mauve figured silk crepe, and carried a bouquet of mauve asters and asparagus fern. A model hat of navy blue completed the ensemble. Mr Allen Buckingham carried out the duties of best man, with Mr Lies Buckingham as usher. After the ceremony a reception was held at thle home of the bride’s parents in Victoria Road, and the guests were received by Mrs White, assisted by Mrs Gunn. Mrs White chose an appliqued model frock of navy and white, with matching hat, while Mrs Gunn was attired in a model frock of black, ainid wore a black hat. Shoulder sprays were worn by both ladies. For her travelling suit, the bride chose a costume of egg-shell blue with white accessories were worn.

Two Recipes. The following recipes are sent by Mrs G. Austin, of Fencourt:— Lemon Pudding.— Bring to boil 1. pint milk, l teaspoon lemon essence (or lemon juice), i cup sugar and one (or if available two) eggs. Beat these first before putting on stove. Thicken with one good tablespoon cornflour. Stir all the time after adding thickening. Shortcake Pudding. Beat 2oz. butter and 1-3 cup sugar. Add 1 egg, then 1 good cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. A. little milk may be necessary. Grease well a flat dish and gently work mixture into it making top level. Spread on thin layer of jam. Beat till thick 1 egg and 1 cup sugar (if coconut available, i cup sugar and l cup coconut). Spread this evenly on top jam and bake in moderate oven. Hot oven will quickly burn meringue top. Giving my family cornflakes for lunch recently, nearly five-year-old daughter picks up a spoonful and says: “Here goes the shavings.”—“A Reader.”

Mock Cream. The following recipe is sent in by “M.T.” and is a good substitute for the now unobtainable cream:— 1 good teaspoon cornflour 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespon castor sugar Vanilla essence.

Mix cornflour with cold water and then with boiling- water to thick jelly as for starch. Let it stand till barely cold. Mix butter and sugar to a cream, then add made cornflour and beat well. When thick add a few drops of vanilla essence.
