Hay Diet Hints
Why Grapes Are Good For
1
· Invalids
Why is it that grapes are advocat- ed as suitable for invalids?
Grupes contain sugar in the form of glucose. Clucose is "simple stigar" which is readily digested and assimilated. Sugars provide energy and the simpler the form the less is the expenditure of energy on the part of the digestive orgàng.

Is rhubarb permissible if sweet- ened with raisin juice instead of kuyor?
with
Rhubarb contains a large percent- age of oxalic acid, which is difficult to digest and which when mixed with"
other foods hinders their digestion. Dr. Hay says it should never be caten but unless you have reason to be an a very strict diet is doubtful if a little would do much harm. Yet it must be sweetened raisin juice and not with sugar,

A jacket suit of this type buttoned high ta neck in warm tweeds is well suited to the vagaries our climate.
A canary coloured diagonal patterned homespun makes the neat fitting double-breasted coat of the centre costumn by Creed. This designer understands thoroughly the cut re- quired by Englishwomen. It is part- nered by a black velvet skirt.

TRAVEL LIGHT ... says
SHALL never forget a night- marc holiday I spent with a friend who didn't. The hotel table looked more like the counter of a large shop with all the toilet accessories spread out on it, all of which had to be swathed and packed carefully in her huge trunk every time we moved on,
It's not much use taking a holiday from office or shop if we exchango the tyranny of ďally routine for the tyranny of things, and it's not much use leaving work behind if we don't leave worry behind as well.
Of course, we must prepare before- hand, for, ilke everything else, a peace- ful holiday has to be paid for by attention to detuli.
But having done all that can be done, do try to leave day-to-day worries behind in the locked house.
We hear a great deal about holidays away from husbands, wives and chil- dren, but what most of us need mare

than anything is a holiday from our- selves and our besetting sins.
Our habits of meeting trouble half- way, of always thinking the worst, of expecting too much, of finding some- one to blame when things go wrong, of wasting time in useless regrets, of brooding over small injuries, and nursing a grievance,
These are henvy weights to carry away to the sea or country. Bhed them for a time, and put on a sunny out- look on life when you put on the gay bathing suit or nalty shorts.
Tako away your best, self, leave the self you are so often ashamed of in your closed house and travel light.
You'll feel so fit that you may decide. when you return, to scrap your foolish habits altogether, empty them away with the rest of the rubbish into the dustbin, and travel lighter for the rest of your life.

Do you know if veluct can be washed satisfactorily?
Pure silk velvet cannot be washed with success. In England it can be dry-cleaned.
You might try steaming the velvet yourself and then with someone to help you pressing it from the back. Ask someone to hold the material firmly but gently wrong side upper- most and run a warm iron over the back.

Can you tell me how to keep a polished wooden salad bowl in good condition?
The bowl must be washed in cold water after use and dried Imme- diately. Occasionally it should be rubbed with a little linseed oil on a soft cloth. It must be polished until all trace of oil has gone,

What "Kuish" do you recommend for button-holes in knitted gar- ments?
You can either button-hole the slit loosely using only one ply of the wool or you can sew narrow strips of tape round eachi bution-hole. The former suggestion is the neuter. Or you can face behind the button- holes with a strip of bins cut mate- riol. Make the button-holes In the fueing before stitching it on.
Sand At The

A BOWL of very fine silver sand

It is equally good for draining, boards too and other kitchen acces- sories,

The slices are then either sugared or served with jam,
For breakfast, the slices may be covered with small curls of bacon, chopped liver, or kidney, or anything| else you can think of.
If, however, you want to make use of your stale lont for other purposes, then just dip the loat in cold water until the crust is dampened, and then put it in a hot oven for a few minutes when it will seem fresh and new.
