Your Breakfast Coffee will be a real joy-if
you prepare half-and-half with hot, rich Glaxo -the milk with the real English flavour,
Glaxo is the rich milk of British-bred dairy cows from which the water has been removed by the Glaxo Process. This process presents the nourishing solids of the milk in the form of a dry powder, which, packed in a parchment bag inside an airtight sealed tin. comes to you across the seas with all its freshness and Ravour unimpaired. All you have to do is to add boiling water only (a half- pint to three dessertspoonfuls of Glaxo). Mix as much as you require when you require it--the rest will keep for a considerable period, if the tin be kept tightly closed and in a cool place,

BEAUTIFYING THE ARMS.

pretty arms.

When the arms are too thin for Treal beauty regular massage with pure olive oil will, in a few weeks, work wonders in rounding them out. Firat sponge the arms with warm water, dry lightly, then apply the oil, which should be warmed by placing the bottle or jar containing it in a bowl of bot water. Arms that are too plump can be reduced by firm massage with a lotion made by mixing: equal parts of spirits of camphor and rosewater. And, whether the arms be too thin or too plump, they will be greatly improved in shape by exercise with a pair of dumb-bells weighing about 1lb.. each.
Should the arms appear coarse and red, apply an oatmeal lotion every night and sponge in the morning with a little rose water,
to which simple tincture of ben- tzoin has been added in the pro- portion of 20 drops of benzoin to (an ounce of rose water.
To make the oatmeal lotion put | two tablespoonfuls of best coarse oatmeal in three pints of water and boil, very slowly, for two hours, then allow to cool and strain. Add the strained juice of a large lemon and a tablespoonful of eau de Cologus. Bottle, sad apply to the arms at night with a pad of cotton-wool, allowing the lotion to dry on the skin.

The third frock has an elusive. ly Andalusian audacity-a cir- cular skirt and a wide, tight belt | that circles the hips are the simple means to that end. It is sleeveless, since all gowns tbis season are made either in this style or with sleeves that cover the hand to the finger joints.

The other frock has a new cuff, too, made of full ruffles, covering the hand. The wide-flounced skirt and yoke are other spring features,

This may be made in one monid {if desired. Peach purse is made by rubbing tinned peaches through a hair sieve,
A Feature of the modern cushion is that it is rarely made of one piece of material, but is neatly.. always a mixture of two or three, combined so that the top piece harmonises with the bottom, and at side ruching links both together. A pretty ex- ample of this can be made. by having the top side of your cushion in silvar lame shot with purple, the under-side of mauve, coloured silk, and the wide side rucbing and tassels, of mauve in a deeper shade. This idea may of course be carried out in any shade, or else the silver lame may be replaced by a strip of embroidered or figured material, the two dominant. colours of which "are re peated in the under-side and the side ruchings.
