Savouries For Winter Parties
CAVOURIES are always in great demand for supper parties, and here are, some useful varieties.
Some people seen to think that minute sausages are the only food which con be served on a cherry atick, but have you tried small cubes of, cheese with a few capers, or ripe olivca?
If you must introduce sausages. slice them, give them smear of French mustard, and place them on with the cherry stick alternately

Button mushrooms (which come out of a bottic) are appetizing, if they are separated with pellets of naked white fish bound with whip- ped cream.

"IT'S no use pretending," a
reader writes, "but I'm frankly outsize. I've got nice. hair and a good complexion. Now can you help me with a winter outfit that will allm me down a bit and yet be comfortable?".
"Of course I can," I replied. "It is the problem of half the women in the world after they have reached their' fortieth birthday. What you want is a nice well cut cout in a deep colour-not neces- sarily black, but specially design. ed to give you height and to bring your figure into a good balanced line.
A soft collar or fur also helpa. the shoulders and upper part."
You see by the sketches what I recommend. The coat is mado in good quality, fancy velour cloth with a straight looking back and a good wrap-over in front.
It is lined throughout with artificial silk and the sleeves have nice shaping at the cuff. Dark Brown Fur
The collar of shunk opossum (you know the fur, it is very like shunk-n nice dark brown shade) can be worn open
or.
· wrapped over close to the throat to form a becoming frame for the face. Very cosy and fashion- able, as well.
The colours are nigger, navy, bottle, wine and bluck. Wine is very fashionable this year. It suits grey and dark-haired wonten excellently. Brown and green suit fair and dark women, but are a little cold with grey hair. I find navy and black are becoming to all,
To wour under this coat I select a frock also in a soft all-wool material which has a good deal of clever chaping to give freedom and a long unbroken line.
There is some shirring on the shoulders which gives omple room over the vest, and an inverted pleat down the whole length of the front. The bodice is out with a deep scalloped V. with a neat vestec in ̈à pale contrasting colour. Colour Choice
A back tie indicates the waistline, and the colours can be wine, brown, green, navy, rust and black.

Is Your Kitchen
Efficient?
A PSYCHOLOGICAL expert tells
US that kitchens are too fre- quently centres of annoyance, fall- que and danger. Most housewives will agree when they think of the number of times a day they are ex- asperated by awkwardly-arranged cookers, cupboards, tables, and the general lack of facilities.
We cannot all have ultra-modern kitchens,
ens, but it is not a very dif- neult task to bring any kitchen up-
