SLIMMING is only dangerous when you set about in the wrong way. And the wrong way is the way that is too drastic and too sudden: or the way that is not based on common sense.
For our bodies are just as much creatures of habits as our minds. They have become accustomed, for instance, to a certain number of meals each day: and each meal, they have learned. contains some of the foodstuffs they need. In other words, 'they've settled into a routine.

Now it is a curious fact that most people who go in for a course of slimming decke in do so suddenly in a burst of enthusiasm they sel about altering their habits. And I'm afraid they don't always do it wisely --though they often do it too well.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Training Criminals In Hongkong
To the Editor,
Hongkong Telegraph,
Sir,Yesterday two women, one from Un Long, the other a Hong- kong woman, were near the Ko Shing Theatre and two boys snatched the earrings of the Un Long women. The earrings were small gold rings. When the woman chased the boys, a mon stood between her und them. and hindered her, and, the boys got away.
I advised her to report it to the Police, but, she said it would be dimcult to get them back In ипу case, and to-day she is returning to Un Long.
This is the type of boy that ought to be in school, but education does not seem to be provided for them, and so our gaol is overstocked with prisoners. Can nothing be done, or must we continue to have boys trained so that they may fill the gnol?

OMELETS
FOR SUMMER LUNCHES
WHA
WHAT could be more dellelous an a hut summer day than a "ght os air" omelet?
Here are a few suggestions as to the best method of making savoury omelets-plain, dressed, and stuffed: For each person, allow two eggs, one tablespoonful of milk or cream, one ounce of butter, salt and pepper
to taste.
Blend the eggs, add the milk or cream, seasoning and half the but- ter, cut into small pieces. Put the remainder of the butter into the Dinelet pan to melt. When the but- ter is melted, pour in the mixture and stir with a metal spoon, folding over well as it starts to set.
When nearly all the liquid has set draw the omelet half across the pan
to form an oval shape. When just set turn on to a hot dish and serve
at once.
To "dress" the omelet add one of the following before cooking:-One tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a pinch of fine herbs, a tablespoonful of Anely grated cheese or a little minced ham or tongue.
To "stuff" the omelet-make a omelet with the foundation mixture and have ready a small quantity of cooked mushrooms, harm, kidney, or fish, &c., which should be

The butter for cooking the omelet must not be too hot when the mix- ture is poured into the pan.
