Does this phrase sound familiar to you? Perhaps you, too, had a dictator father? The writer of this article
had....
'... So she's grown up with her
own ideas on bringing up children
YOU can't tell me a thing about life under a dictatorship. I lived just that kind of life for seventeen years, Then I got out.
My father was, and is, a dictator. In his business and in his conversation he is all for democracy. Mention Nazi-ism to him and he flares up and goes out to buy another savings certificate. There must be no Hitlers or Stalins in his world scheme. But.
Do you "I'm master in this house. " think I am mudde of money?—You are a child and will do what I tell you-be in at nine--Ex- plain yourself, miss," are sentences that weave in and out of my childhood's memory, I look
back and remember the fury that surrounded breakfast, the grimly silent dinners.
1 remember the terror of porridge. Por- ridge made me feel sick. If I could not serape my outside plate clean at breakfast I got the remains, cold and glutinous, for lunch, with a non-stop lecture thrown in. In desperate. heaving misery I learned, at Inst, to eat it and escape. Porridge still makes me sick.
Look what happens to my sister. She is twenty-eight and lives at home. She is accom- plished, good-looking, dependent on father. Ten years ago she was a gay, vivid girl, wanting to study musie and make it her profession.
Father, to knock the nonsense out of her head, put her into a friend's office. He asked
his friend not 10 tech her too much, to keep her anlory low "for the time being." AL the end of two years she was brought home to housekeep because mother, en- couraged by father, could 10 longer do without her.
HARD-BOILED

Es to see that fresh eggs

are becoming more plentiful in Hongkong.
Good news, because hens epps contain plenty of the sunshine vitamin as well. as calcium and iran. It is, too, an old saying that one fresh egg is equal to a quarter of a pound of meat,
We've all heard it said of a bad cook: "Why, she can't even boll an egg!" But even the very best cook sometimes let themselves down in egg-bolling.
The average egy needs three minutes in fast-bolling water; if Jaid the same day as they're to be eaten, I allow an extra ball mimite to set the white perfectly.
Another good way to soft-boll eggs is to bail the water, pop in the eggs, then, when the water is. bubbling again, remove from heat and leave the eggs in for seven ininutes.
h-toy, with the salad and mal-
season round the corner, I am giving various ways of using hard- bolled cers.

to cook them--without that green rim between yolk and white. Put them into boiling water (don't let it stop bubbllug) for seven minutes, then put them straight under the cold water top and leave it rumming until they ore cold, then sheli theat carefully.

Slice off the rounded ends of the bags so that they will stand up, and place each on a crisp lettuce leaf. If you want to make this snack look more interesting, sur- round each egg with a round of diced beetroot.
For salad meals, it is nicer to Gerve the Sas separately; than they won't crumble up and spoil the look of your carefully prepared bowl. Bealdes which the last per- nort to receive the salad won't go short of egg,

DICTATOR parents are still pretty common. I know many of them. In every case the chlidren are goose-stepped through life to a set of not very good rules ind cinwn by one ar other of their parents.
The obvious rebound from a dictator parent is to raise a family on the sentimental, woolly, do- what-you-like-best principle.. That doesn't work either. Democracy. sealed down to family size, is the
middle way.

To give a present to her home is the urge of neath, for if used unlined the dark wood of the
every woman,
Many useful and dainty things may be made from organdic, a fabric which has much to com- mend it, being easily laundered, of moderate price, and practically endless wear.
Much, of the charm of this material lies in:, Its transparency, and if one colour is laid upon another marvellous shot effects may be obtained, and unusual colour schemes introduced.
Cushlon covers of this fabric, embroidered in simple designs in gay or pastel wools, placed over contrasting slips are charming.
Table mats of two shades simply embroidered look crisp and summery. Bias binding makes a good edging for round mate, or they may be hem- stitched by machine, the material cut away just beyond the sewing, and a narrow crochet edge worked into the resulting holes.
.
Some of the patterned organdies also make attractive mate, the large overchecks, especially fitting in with modern schemes.
Square or oblong of black or dark blue with scarlet or flame- n white over check, having a coloured daisy completely filling one of the corner squares, are particularly gay and Interesting.
The charm of an organdle tea-cloth and cosy Is enhanced if a contrasting cover is placed under-
tea-leble detracts from the colour.

THE ubiquitous artificial slik bedspread is useful and pretty, but has ceased to be very In teresting. Cover it with organdic in another colour, and you will have a thing of rare beauty and charm. If It is finished with a deep frill, additional dalnținess and delightful variations of shade will be the result.
Leaf-green over pale blue is exquisite. Should you have a kidney-shaped or a semi-circulez dressing-table, give it a petticoat of the same, hang curtains of double organdle at your window, and on the hottest day your room will have the coolness and the shimmer of the sea.
If, on the other hand, you like the suggestion of perpetual sunshine, place malze over salmon- pink and you will live in a sunset glow.
Lilac over rose or green over mauve, are de lightful and of course part of the charm iles in the fact that with a different coloured allp you may alter the whole aspect of the affair. And as a bedspread, the large over-check again appeals to the modern eye.

But fashion
docs play svine port in what is most admired, and therefore most desired, at perlod or another. Take, for in- stance, the Hapsburg mouth, with its exaggerated pout. That type of mouth is no longer popular.
Is it not odd how the very short upper lip which used to be con- sidered an infallible sign of beauty, has gone out of fashion? To-day we look more for breadth' and humour in the mouths of those we deem pretty or charming.
One must not forget the part the chin plays in combination with the mouth.
►
A small chin may pass muster if it is well formed, but a moderate- ly-sized one with Arm lines which join the lips and neck; make a per- fect whole of the lower part of the face, and this appeals to one's sense of beauty, 199
There is the much vexed ques- tion--that of the use of lipstick. In France, every woman paints her lips and one fecla somehow, as if women with unpainted Ups have featureless faces, because one sees used, and what is
much not well done.

Then the part which lie volce plays must not be forgotten. If the voice does not "match," the beauty of the mouth is often on- tirely lost when the owner speaks, and vice versa. Have you not known quite plain people with ordinary-looking mouths, quite who, as soon as they spoke, became transformed because of the golden quality of their voices?
