To dish the padding, If the main from the saucepan and allow to stand for two minutes, then remove the paper. loosen the top of the pudding with a knife, then shake carefully to free it from the basin.

In these days; with a beauty par- lour round every other corner, and inexpensive copies of model ments turned out by the millon, with the latest mode showing on screen. and stage, it is almost too easy for the average woman to attain beauty of a kind. But the beauty that arrests by its very individuality requires more than Imitative power; It has brains behind It.
As I watches the women pass one attracted my attention.
Her dress was unremarkable except for its simplicity and perfection of eut. It seemed to me the keynote of her attraction was simplicity, the simplicity that embodies perfect taste.

Cinderella
of the Office
THE Cinderella of Victor- ian times worked in a kitchen for a family of un- grateful brothers and sis- ters. The Cinderella of to- day, however, may work in an office like many of us. In fact, almost any office which employs three or more typists has its Cin- derella.
She is the girl who stays be- hind every time someone is wanted to put in an extra hour. She is expected to tako on the tiresome, disagreeable tasks, and she is always tho first victim of the chronic borrower. Borrowers, in fact, seem to turn to her instinctively.
Yet there is no need to waste much sympathy on this Cin- dorella, for the unsatisfactory state of affairs is almost invari- ably her own fault.
The trouble begins. because she is apparently the only member of the staff who never has an evening en- gagement. She is never in a hurry to leave the office promptly, so when one of the partners requires the

Veal Birds
THESE really look like little birds if made properly. In a popular dish with men, as it is dry and tasty. Take some thin slices_of_flict of veal, about 21405, each, and beat them well. Make a forcement with brown breadcrumbs, chopped fat bacon, seasonings and herbs, a suspicion of grated lemon peet, and a beaten cas, spread on the pieces of veat generously and roll them up. Fasten, if necessary, with small cherry sticks. Put in a baking tin with plenty of fat and bake in a fairly hot oven (Regulo Mark 5) for half an hour, basting frequently.

is something wrong, he thinks, about a girl who appears to have no private life of her own.
He will be even less favourably Impressed if he suspects that she is incapable of upholding her own rights and has allowed herself to be victimised by the others. She is obviously not fitted to hold a respon. sible position and he makes a mental note not to recommend her for pro- motion.
He may say and do nothing, for he rightly considers that his staff should be able to settle such matters among themselves and to share out the less disagreeable, duties. fairly and squarely between them. And so they would, if it were not for the Cinderellas who are so busy muking life hard for themselves and easy for everybody else.
DEAL FIRMLY WITH
BORROWERS
As for the question of borrowers, you can divide the staff of any oflice into those from whom you can bor- row with impunity, with or without first asking their permission, and those whose possessions you would not dare to touch. Cinderella must deal firmly with borrowers from the beginning. She must insist, politely but significantly, on getting her possessions returned, even if they are no more than poncils and erasers or coppers for bus fares.
She must make the borrower sec that she is conferring 1 favour, otherwise if she lends too engily, she chattels will find her goods and mysteriously, vanishing into thin air. Then when her chief rings and she keeps him waiting while she searches for a pencil, la she going to make the excuse that "someone borrowed it"? No, of course she can't do any thing so foolish.
It is time these Cinderellas of the business world woke up and realised that their mistaken sense of self- sacrifice can do no good, only a great deal of harm both to themselves and to the people whose lives they make too easy at their own expense.
