FASHIONS for RAINY
DAYS..
Monk's Hood Capes
Spotted Silk Scarlet & Green
By MARY GRACE
the polished waterproof surface causes the wet to run off.
Of interest to mothers is that many children's mackintoshes have a warm fleecy inlog, so that they are a complete winter coat in themselves, Cold weather coats for grown-ups, too, have this pro- tection against winter.
Corded or plain proofed vel- veteen coats buttoning high to neck or cul with widespread revers make a dressy outt for town.
Just word on ordinary everyday waterproofs. These are stown in all kinds of checked and plaid designs, and have the senson'a squared and slightly raised shoulder line.
If the main colour of your wardrobe is black, then a hooded cape of shiny olak, lustrated, will meet your needs.
The most useful to my mind, of the new waterproofs are the capen with hoods attached that can enally slip over your best til If you are unlucky enough to be caught out in the rain without an umbrella.

At the first sign of a chiblain the part should be rubbed with a mild, stimulating iniment or painted over with iodine.

HINTS FOR PREVENTION
Prevention is, of course, better than cure. Whenever there is tendency for chiblains to appear— whether on the bands, feet, ears, or nuse-it means, apart from severe spell of sharp winter, that there is a lack of calcium in the blod and a deficiency of certain vituming in the diet.

Becoming Colours

The cherry reds._scarlets_und_ deeper greens are to my mind the most becoming shades.
An outfit of this kind must be chosen by daylight, and any col- ours that throw a yellow or bluish tinge over the tace should be avolded.
For beadgear there are changes. Instead of the ordinary oilskin or mackintosh hat, a head scarf that ties under the chin like that of an Irish colleen is being worn.
GOOD COOKING

Dishes with Onions
ONIONS, so good for us in the cold weather, give a savoury touch
to many small dishes, and it may be worth while to remember
a few of them here, especially those dishes called a la Lyonnaise.
For the first three, the onions must be sliced and lightly fried first of all. They can then be mixed in the frying-pan with freshly-cooked sautes inintate or two, making potatoes, and fried together with them for a Potatoes a la Lyonnaise.

The third with potatoes is to mis some lightly-fried onions with some nirely mashed potatoes, seasoning with salt, pepper and nutmeg, then to put it. well pressed down, into a shallow reproof dish, sprinkle the top with melted butter and brown it in the oven,

Heat half butter and half olive oil in a frying pan, and fry the union until a light gold, then add the beef, seasoning with salt and pepper.
