Hair At Home
Hair dyeing should be perform- ed by those who are experienced - In the work and who are reason- ably clever at it. it is not a home job. But the touching up' of the small grey patches which make their appearance just about the temples can be managed at home by the judicious use of a little henna, which is, not a dye in the usually accepted sense:
When henna in the form of a paste is used to darken the hair. It approaches the nature of a dye- and it gives the hair an auburn colour. But Henna Com- pounds are obtainable at all good. hairdressers' shops the henna be- ing mixed with other substances so that the combination may give the hair any tones from dark brown to black. The directiona should be carefully read and fol- lowed.
SHAMPOO FIRST
"The hair should be thoroughly · cleansed before tinting is at tempted, and all dust, grease and all dust, grease and soap must be removed. Shampoo it three times, rinse well with warm wa- ter to remove all traces of soap and dry with a warm" towel. Ir he hair is wet when the henna paste is applied. uneven or pat chy colouring will be the result.
Pure henna powder may be bought in bulk, and three ounces "will be required to do a whole head. Euy the very best quality "--cheap stuff will prove poor economy. In a small china basin place' the powdered henna, pour hot water over it, and stir con- stantly until a thick paste is formed. Henna paste should not be allowed to come into contact with any metallic substance, so a bone or wooden spoon must be used for mixing. Keep the paste hot for ten or twelve minutes, be- fore using it, and see that it is warm all the time it is being ap- plied. A porridge-pan with an Inner chiria pot is the best recep- tacle for the purpose.

Time is important, and 'good judgment is required to stop at the right moment and when the right tone has been reached. No general rules can be given, for it depends upon the percentage of grey hair present and the extent of this greyness. Again, the acti- vities of prepared hennas differ a good deal, but the fact need cause ho concern for the correct times are given in the directions.
and beat it with a large wooden spoon until light and creamy. Sleve the sugar on the top' and
beat again for a few minutes. Add
the grated orange and lemon rind and the water, then the eggs and sieved flour by degrees. Beat well for five or ten minutes, and stir in the fruit and baking powder last of all. Pat the mixture into a strong cake-tin lined with two folds of white paper. Bake in a moderate oven for two hours or longer. until the cake is well risen and feels firm to the touch, pro- tecting the top with paper necessary.
This cake should not be cut for
a week. It will keep well, and it
is useful to have one in the house ready for the unexpected visitor. Chocolate Rocks Ingredients: 30z, four, 3oz. rice flour, a pinch of salt, 3oz, bitter, 3oz. castor sugar, 2oz. chocolate powder,

Pancake Variations

If we were to restrict ourselves to pancakes once & year should be denying ourselves one. of the most delicious of confec- tions, one too that is capable of " endless variations.
Plain Pancakes The ordinary English pancake is made from a better mixed as follows:---
18. flour

2 eggs 1 pint of milk
Put the flour in a basin, add a pinch of sals". Make a hole in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into this. Mix and ac a little milk. Beat till the mix-... ture Is quite free from lumps, then gradually add all the milk. The same batter can be used for Yorkshire pudding or toad-in-the hole.. A richer batter can be made by using more eggs and a amount correspondingly smaller will

Stale Bread Pancakes These can be made by: Dipping thin slices
of white or brown bread and butter into some flavoured, sweetened milk- but not long enough to make the bread soft then dipping into batter, and frying in shallow fat." Making slices of stale bread in- to a sandwich with a sweet or savoury Alling in between pres- sing the

A little butter is put in the pan and when this is melted enough of the pancake mixture is poured.. in to coat just the surface of the pan. When cooked on one side the pancake his to be turned and this is often done by deftly
tossing" the pancake and" catching it on the reverse side. But as this requires practice novices should employ a flexible kitchen knife. These pancakes are eaten hot with lemon juice and castor auget
Dipping Batter
Before describing other pan- cakes, I should mention that tha. batter "described is not the best. for dipping, fish, meat, plantains. etc., before frying, as it is not sufficiently adhesive. The ideal
dipping batter is four ounces of flour, two eggs and a tablespoon- ful of salad oil. Fish fried in this mixture comes up crisp and puffy. Try it and see. M.
Indian pancakes are made by substituting coconut milk for. cow's milk in the earlier recipe and serving rolled up with jaggery syrup.
