Chic idea from Paris

Handbags shaped like horseshoes with silver studa for nails, handbags in the design of a huge chestnut leaf with leaf-stem for clasp. A hand- bag in the shape of a big leather daisy.

Leits

in squashy calf, like the binding of prize books, printed with names of classics. A black patent leather belt with three golden keys Da clasp. Belts of strings of multi- coloured twisted leather, with can- YAF buckica embroidered with owner's initials.

Brooches like a bunch of grapes made of coloured stones with leaves of gilt. Collar-shaped necklaces of multi-coloured glass starfish. and others of bunches of glass grupes. Bracelets from which dangle tiny gilt charms, prams, miners' lamps, coffee-grinders, a row of Ave-cent coins chained through the holes. hearis in mousetraps.

two

powder-cases like Flat dominoes, double-six and double- blank, in the shape of a padlock, and in the shape of the four acts; rectangular cases with one side for cigarettes and one side for powder, with lipstick and watch-container on the lid; and finally one made entirely of coloured mirror.

Tasty Dishes from Cold Joint

To get the best results from a cold

Tjort, a few points should be re-

membered. One is, that since the meat to be used has alrendy been cooked, it only needs reheating, and not re-cooking.

Frying is an excellent way of do- Ing this, provided the meat is pro- from direct heat by being enrased in batter, potato, &c.

tected

If the meat has to be re-heated in sauce see that the sauce is well cook- ed Orst, and

either mince the meat or chop it finely, so that it will get hot quickly. Remember, too, that a little ham, tongue or cold bacon added to cold mutton or beef makes all the difference to the savour of u dish.

Pepper and salt,

Yolk, of one egg

Apple chutney:

Slices of cold meat;

Add sufficient beaten yolk of CRE

then add a little seasoning,

Spread the slices of cold meat on both sides with a little apple chut- with them over ney, then cover potato mixture, smoothing it with a info. Try the cutlets in hot, deep fat, till a golden brown. Drain well, and garnish with parsley.

FLATULENCE

Although Flatulence is such an un- pleasant and painful forn of Indigestion, it is one that can be made to yield to suitable treatment in quite a short time. Usually the distension (fullness of the stomach is produced by gas or "wind." This, in turn, is the direct resalt of un excess of acidity in the stomach. You wili realise, therefore, how essential it becomes to avoid the formation of excessive nclility. Alkali is the norinal neutralises of acid: that is why alkaline treatment is usually prescribed to deal with acidity.

Maclean Brand Stomach Powder is the safest and most effective alkaline powder. As soon as it reaches the stomacli, exCESS acidity is neutralised immediately. You feel the soothing effect inside you at once. The blown-out senzation of flatulence passes away, and comfort la the waistilna is restored as if by magic.

Sufferers from flatulence should take Afaclean Brand Stomach Powder regularly --not only because of the instant relief it brings, but for a much more important reason. A neglected acid condition paves the way for the most serious forms of stomach trouble-ths dreaded gastric and duodenal ulcer. The flatulent subject must avoki' that danger at any cost. MACLEAN BRAND Stomach Powiler keeps the stomach clean and acid-free, so that ulcers never get a footing. Take it regularly, but be sure you get the gennine Maclean Brand with the signature "ALEX. C. MACLEAN " on bosile and carton. Naver sold loose-only in cartons (powder or tableta). If you have any difficulty in obtaining it from your local chemist or store, write ( Banker & Co, P.O Box 530, Ilong Kong.
