ÞOBB went to Paris recently and had a look at the hats they're designing now. First he went to Madame Suzy, Duchess of Kent's milliner, who designed 1, 2 and 3 of the hats he has drawn here. Tilgh hats are out, she says. New shape follows a moulded · "berek line (sketch 2). For the mornings tendency is for hats to yo tip and off the face; for afternoons line poc's flat and down; for `sports, sweeping cavalier lines. Vells fused sparingly) are long and loosely draped. New materials: "Velours, antelope (sketch 2), flat furs such as horserkin (sketch 3).
From Suzy Robb went on to Erik's studio, found him working
on his spring collection (pletures 4, 5, 6 and 7). Following the new trend of hairdressing, which makes for a short shingle at the back of women's heads, his hats are built up at the back with clusters of flowers (aketek 6) or birds' wings.
mincemeat
it will keep for a year
THERE are several reasons why your mincemeat.for Christmas
should be made without delay.
The chlet reason is the mincemeat itself, so we will walve nit the others and get straight to the points.
For a good mincemeat only the best ingredients will do, Plump blue-black currants, plump golden sultanas, and so forth.. Dried fruit should never have that wizened look.
Like the laundry, it must be thoroughly washed and dried. All ironing, however, is best omitted.
་་
Have you ever had the misfortune to bite into one of those dull-coloured, gritty cakes which are the result of unwashed fruit? Sparo your mincement that.
Give it all this instead:-1 lb. raisins, lb, sultanas,. 134lbs currants, 2lbs shredded beet suet, 1lbs Demerara, sugar, b mixed candied peel, half a small nutmeg, lb apples, half a ten- spoonful of salt, the rind of one lemon and the juice of half a lemon; a gill, or more, of brandy.
Chop finely the remains, mixed peel, lemon rind, and the apples peeled and cored. Grate the nutmeg.
Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly together in a basin before adding the brandy, then slir thoroughly again.
Cover the mixture with a cloth and leave it in a cool place until next day.
Give another good stir before packing the mincemeat into Jars. Cover closely.
If you can spare that "or moro" of brandy, please do so. This mincement will keep for a year or more. It must have a drink on the way.

Two chairs are placed in the centre of the room and the guests alt round on the floor. The hostess calls out a number (each heart having a num-. ber written on It) and the lady of the pair alls on the chair and her partner has to propose to her, and she has to respond.
Acting ability, wil, and a modern or old-fashioned type of proposal make this a most entertaining game, and good efforts will be applauded.
