ENO
When Food Makes No Appeal
A failing appetite is one of Nature's danger signals. It is a warning that all is not well. with your digestion-that your system is not freeing itself punctually and thorough- ly of its daily waste. It is this condition" which Eno's "Fruit Salt" corrects.
Eno simply flushes and effectively cleanses the whole intestinal tract and so prevents the inner sluggishness which leads to poor appetite and indigestion. That is why Eno first thing every morning will stimulate your keenness for meal times and enable you to enjoy every morsel of your food.

READING THE MENU.
The practice of writing menus in French is on the increase, and it is not always easy for the diner to recognise the various dishes. Unless the waiter is asked for a more detailed explanation the dish ordered may prove different from that expected.
A dish may take its name from its particular method of prepara tion, its chief ingredient, the sauce or garnish used, a town, a person, or a dynasty. There are a num- ber of these dishes which are easy to recognise. Unfortunately, some times, the character and name of the dish are altered by the chef who prepares in and "even the most sophisticated liner is at a loss to recognise what is set before her.
Individuality and that indefinable charm so coveted by every woman are most adequately ex- pressed in dresses de-. signed by
MAISON MARNAC
How, then, can the diner read the menu intelligently There is no infallible rule License in the aning of dishes is inevitable. If, however, a few general descrip- tions can be recognised, the diner will not feel so completely at sea when the meau is handed to her.
Here are a few of the descrip- tions frequently to be seen in mo- dern day restaurant menus
Noisettes de Mouton.
Noisettes, according to Escoffier; the celebrated French maitre chief, make one of the most choice en- "trécs. They differ from cutlets bei cause they comprise the eye, or lean part of the cutlet only, and are invariably served" on a croute of fried bread.

it.
A la Napolitaine or à la Mil- anaiso generally indicates that the lish thus described contains speg hetti or macaroni, possibly pre- pared with cheese sauce,
A la Morny shows that cheese sauce and cheese cream have been used in the preparation of the dish..
Au Gratin describes a dish in which breadcrumbs are used, the surface being browned with but- ter melted over the crumbs..
A la Julienne is a recognised term for describing the addition
of
mixed, shredded vegetables,
Consomme à la Julienne is a clear soup to which mixed vegetables are added immediately before serving. A la Reforme denotes a garnish ef cooked carrots, traffe, ham, and the white part of hard-boiled egg Frequently served with cutlets, it was nained after the famous London Reform Club.
Au Beurre Noir indicates that a black butter sauce accompanies the dish.

BECOMING
SUITS
FOR EVERYONE.
This is to be a year of suits. There is no more practical or adapt- anie garment in the whole range of inshion oferings. For the woman who lives in the city or the one who merely comes to town to shop or go to the theatre, there is othing more useful than the suit in one of its many forins.
There are styles and many choices af material for everyone. The ictine le can have her, suit with the short jacket nipped in at the waist, or the bolero, or the short cape, whereas the young matron prefers a type slightly more con- servative, with the jacket a little longer and the waistling indicated There rather than closely fitted. are chic styles also for the woman with a mature figure, in the three- quarters and seven-eighths-length coat, which shows a very restrained princess line.
This year brings an unprecedent- led choice of materials. The mana- facturers of cotton, wool, rayon, and silk bave used their skill and art to produce a range that fairly dakzles one in its beauty and variety. From the new cotton-liste mesh, a lightweight material open in weave but so firm that it will not stretch, to the heaviest wool tweed, is presented an enormous ranue of materials which tailor most satisfactorily. This. variety allows each shopper to choose a type auitable to her own style and
use.

Discretion in Blouses.
The blouse, which is a most im portant part of every suit, requires special consideratios. It may be leither the waistcoat type or n dainty feminine style made of print- ed georgette or chiffon., The pos sibilities for a variety of blouses with one suit makes the suit a particularly practical fashion The mistake maet not be committed, however, of thinking that any style of blouse will go with any suit, for that is far from true.
For the strictly tailored suit a blouse of a simple type is best. This blouse aced not be severe, for it is not only possible but even.. smarter to have one with a feminine feeling. The choice of material is wide in this case. There is piqué in cotton, rayon or silk (which is especially suitable for the waist Mushroom and geranium are
coat type of blouse), dainty band- favourite tinta for shoes at the mochise, the heavier répes, the antios kerchief lines, batiste, crêpe-de- ment. But there are smart excep- tions. Rather unusual are shoes of Lido blue or crimson printed silk covered with a design of tiny putty-coloured spots.
As to material, moiré silk is is much to the fore as crepe de Chine.

Cottons for Town Wear.
This year the wotton manufac turers have developed their fabrics so that there are cotton materials in weaves and colours suitable for city wear. Linens and cottors, in- cluding the euperfine sudanette, ara already available for suits which will be needed when the weather is warm and wool, seems a burden. These new materials are practical, for they launder and tailor perfect ly. With a suit of such material a blouse in a fabric of a lighter weight is desirable and it may be fairly elaborate if the suit tends towards the dressmaker type.
