LUCKY CHARM NECKLACE.
Swastikas.." Fatima's hand." and other Eastern charms in beaten gold, strung together by lucky blue beads, make the newest necklaces which can be worn with sports clothes. Like most of the modern trinkets these neckinces have, brace- leta and belt buckles to match, so that a complete set can be wore.
ORIGINAL CENTRE PIECE.
Small tortoiseshell sticklebacks and an octopus of brilliant jade green, doating on the surface of the water in a large crystal bowl, are the latest ornaments for table de coration. Small spikes of coral give the appearance of a real under-the- sea picture.
TWO PIECE ENSEMBLE.
The dress of this very attrac site two-piece ensemble is of heavy weight crêpe de chine with the new, shaped flounces. The coat is in satin finisheit face cloth fined with crêpe de thing to match the dress.
FIRESIDE CATS. Realistio cata in soft fur, curled into gracefully feline attitudes of repose, are the newest decorations for the bearthrug.. The beasts are made in black, white, and tabby akins, with the faces cleverly made to suggest the blissful expression of perfect comfort. They should be appreciated by those who like the domestic appearance of the cat, but cannot stand the live variety.

Most of the best woollen coats trimmed with fur, and all but & very few fat and rather hard-look- ing fur coats look their best in the afternoon and evening.
Black or other dark-coloured fur trimmed coats can be used instead of coats made completely of fur for afternoon, and often for evening as well, if they have been chosen with sufficient care.
The points to look out for, and especially when the dress allowance is not very clastic, are fulaess with out bulk, a notably good back, and a touch of the unusual about the cuffs.
One of the best black coats I have seep recently had grey astrachan cuffs shaped so that they formed a semi-circle from the wrist, to the elbow and yet itted closely enough. to keep the hands warm. The long astrachan collar could be rolled high to the neck or turned down in a flat becoming line which showed the neatly folded scarf round the neck. The hem of this coat was straight except for a flare and moderate dip down at the left-hand side, a line which is in complete agreement with many of the current afternoon frocks.
Face cloth of good quality is always a satisfactory choice for a black winter coat. Its close texture makes for warmth, which can always be increased by an inter- lining; ita smooth surface defies dust, and it keeps its shape very well indeed. ..."
There are also some dark tweeds, black, dark brown or very dark blue and flecked with white or grey. Those can be exceedingly smart when they are trimmed with one of the severer furs, and suit the tailor- made woman very well indeed.
DRAGON EMBROIDERIES.
A fearsome, sprawling dragon, embroidered in green and orange silks across the front of the jumper is the only" trimming on a suit of natural coloured wool. Designed with a pleated skirt and square- necked jumper, for sportswear, "the suit has a cardigan coat embroider- ed with a dragon to match.
YOUR HOME AND MINE.
THE MEAT COURSE.
Meat was never exactly a poor maz's food, and the housewife, in order not to make her family un willing vegetarians too often, mist seek means of spreading the flavor over other foods.
For a saving-day luncheon, I suggest Macaroni with ham, which is very good, besides being as ex- cellent way of utilizing bits of left- over cooked ham. You can prepare, the dish as follows:-
Cook two cups of macaroni in plenty of boiling, salted water- Drain through a colander, pour cold water, over it, shake so that all the water runs through, and place in a battered baking dish. Put raw, or left-uver ocoked ham through a meat chopper, heat in a frying pan, and two tablespoons gradually add Bour and two cups of milk. Stir all the while until it boils up thoroughly. Pour the mixture over the macaroni, and add about one- half cup, grated cheese. Bake in a hot oven for fifteen minutes.
If you have the remains of a roast beef that is beyond the alicing stage, and you have not quite made up your mind to have hash again so soon, try the following
Put a layer of hot mashed pota tocs is the bottom of a small greas ed baking dish. Add a thick layer of bits of beef that have been chop ped and seasoned with salt, pepper and a little onion juice Moisten with some of the gravy left over from the rot roast, and cover with -n-shingleyez on mashed potatore -Bake in a hot over until wen teated and browned .on_top.

"I" STANDS FOR INK- STAINS.
Of all the marks on clothing with which the housewife has to deal ink- stains are the most difficult to re- move. If possible, always remove aa ink-stain before sending the article to the laundry. Washing with soap and water tends to fir the colour in the fabric.
Each kind of ink requires special treatment to remove the marks made by it.
