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.

CHIFFON CHIC FOR EVENING PROCKS.
With the excitement of all the New Year parties just over, the one object that centres in the mind of the Chinese younger set is to take stock of their wardrobe and to re- plenish it with frocks that are sure to continue chic for spring. It is certainly not an easy task to choose styles that would still be in the fore a few months lator, for it requires a keen eye to defect the slight changes that centuries have already introduced that would be. important in the coming mode.

Miss Louise Yu, one of the most popular and charining members of the Shanghai, set, gives us a few bints in selecting our new costumes. The first item that confes to our mind is the afternoon frock.

trims this unvy crêpe-backed satin costume, as contrast is much de- sired this season. Equally chic is Another distinctive frock dovelop- ed in red crape de chine and black net. The simple lines of the straight silhouette is extremely be- coming and the net border at the hem of the skirt and elbow cuffs adds a noval note. We must in- clude a georgette model in a most delectable shade of pink-called dusty pink which is distinguished by the simple bodice featuring a normal waistline, short sleeves and rows of tiny frills on the full and circular skirt. White georgette, in this case, edges the frills affective- ly,
There is an evening frock of the palest green chiffon a material wisely chosen as it is equally fashionable any time of the year. For the cold senson that is stili with us, separate belero jacket with a circular flare at the hem is decidedly youthful. Kolinsky is very effective on the cuffs, and pin tucks fashion a hip yoke. Giving a flat- are used in an amusing way to light woollen one depends fortering swing to the silhouette is originality on grouped tuckings and the skirt with its two tiers. Worthy pleats that are amazingly pleasing of note also is the exceedingly smart and decorative on the deep slashes flower of self material on the collar at the sides of the skirt of the one that gives a finishing touch to the pices dress. Another, frock that frock. will serve for both formal and in- formal daytime occasions features shirring that moulds the figure in the new manner. Quite in vogue
Have you ever wondered why foulsoap paper should have auch a queer name? Here is how it hap- pened to be so called.
In the days of King Charles I the King was accustomed to grant monopolies to private individuals.
That means taat, he would allow small groups of people to manufac ture various needed articles and sell them at large prices, thus making vast fortunI OM.
One of theas royal grants was for the manufacture of a certain paper, about fourteen by seventeen inches in size.
It was water-marked with the ruyal coat of arms, and was used by the English Parliament for the keeping of its journals.,
When Charles lost favour with the people, and the Parliament finally took away his throne and had him bohonded, tire royal, coat of arms which marked the paper used by Parliament was removed as a means if showing contempt for the King.
In its strud à mark showing a fool's cap, and bolle was substituted and the paper given the name of foolscap as an indignity to the dethroned King.
WHEN BUYING GLOVES.
To detect poor quality suède glores pull the skin widthways. If the leather is poor quality or faulty it will exhibit white cracks and the flaw that was hidden will be revealed by the tension of the material...
Good anede should be smooth and velvety to the touch, and of even thickness throughout.
When choosing chamois, leather gloves always hold them up to the light. Choose a'pair through which the light cannot penetrate.
If your fancy turns to kid gloves don't forget that the best aro always supple and soft, because they aro made from real kid skin. In cheaper grades the skin of lambs and other animals are often used..
Doeskin makes a hard wearing glove. The material should be de liciously soft to the touch, pliable, and the skin must be of the samo thickness throughout, otherwise the thickest parts will pull away from the weaker ones after a few weeks'
wear.
Ben that points on the backs aro finished properly, that all gussets are neatly fitted and well sewn, all buttonholes perfect, . and buttons secure. The seams must not have a twisted appearance, Pull-on gloves with elastic wrists should be inspected to make sure the elastic. has not perished.
REMOVING SHINE: Otherwise perfectly good gar- mente, especially them of navy or black, are frequently ruined by the appearance of shiny patches at the back or on the elbows. Shine can be removed by applying ammonja and methylated spirits to the affect ed.part. Make a lotion by mixing
pint of methylated spirits, and one tablespoonful of ammonia, "Brush the shiny parts lightly and, sing a piece of damp muslia over the surface of the garment, iron gently. This method is quite as effective as having the garment. steaned professionally,
Another very lovely evening frack uses pink and white printed geor gette. The soulloped edges of the tiere aro cut to follow the petals of the large white flowers-a very distinctive effect. The tiers, four in number, acquire a silhouette both becoming and youthful.
Due attention mist also, be given to evening jewellery, important in completing the final touches of the fashionable picture. Miss Yu has matching slips that enhance the coiffure and collar of her frock Exquisite jade set in pearl motifs given rare distinction to the clips. which has a bracelet of the Aéxible, type with motifs blending sue into another that give charming effect.-E.C. in the North-China Daily News..

RE-SETTING A PERMANENT-
WAVE.
To reset a permanent wave in not, as difficult task as is sup posed, and many a girl may be glad to do this for herself,
First steam' the hair till it feels soft and moist. This can either be done by turning on the hot tap in i the bathroom and allowing the atcum to play on the hair or by letting tho stonm from a jug of hot water do the work..
.
If the latter mothod is cohsen,. do not put the hend-too near the rising stent, and place a handker- chief, folded like a bandage, across the eyes, tying it lightly at the back of the head.
Hair-pins Arg Useful, When the hair fools soft and alightly moist pinch it into waves, taking care to place them in the same position as formerly."
A few invisible hair-pina may be inserted here and there as required.
Slip on a shingle cap, and go over the whole head, pinching the waves again.
Put in several wave-setters wher- over the hair appears to be losing some of its wave,
There is a new type of "setter," which grips the wave firmly and keeps it in position more salisfnc- torily than 'n waving comb. Three for four would enable a water-wave to be put into even quite straight hair, provided a good netting lotion were used,
