A PAGE FOR WOMEN Tomatoes---Lush and Red are

now at their sun ripened best

Near where I live is a famous Soup kitchen. One morning at this time of year the air is Alled with a sudden all-pervading frag- Tanee The tomato season has be- gun!

For weeks then, converging down every road, come thousands of trucks laden with shining red tomatoes bound for those Soup kettles. They hurry, do the trucks, urged by the desire to capture within a few scant hours the fresh perfection of the tomatoes. For these tomatoes were picked only after Mother Nature had in her fuliness ripened them redly through to their very hearts, and blessed them with rich vitalising juice,

Right now, too, ripe tomatoes abound in Hong Kong markets. At no season are they finer in flavour. Serve them often, while you may, in salads, as a relish. Temates are truly abundant source of Vitamin C. A big glass- ful of tomato juice at breakfast, for instance, gives us our supply of this vitamin for the day.

Another way to enjoy the flav- our and goodness of tomatoes is in cooked dishes. Here canned toina- toes, condensed tomato soup and tomato juice are particularly suit- ed to our purpose. This ham ring contains tomato soup, is easy to make and is a beautiful blending. of meat with tomato flavour,

Baked Ham Ring

11⁄2 pounds raw ham, ground 4 pound fresh pork, ground 11⁄2 cups soft bread crumbs 1 can condensed tomato soup 2 eggs

2 tablespoons chopped onion

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1⁄4 teaspoon pepper

Combine all ingredients and mix

declares Dorothy Greig

A Baked Ham Ring with a glorious tomato flavour is filled

and garnished with carrots,

well.

Pack into a buttered ring mould and bake in a moderate oven i (350 deg.) for 45 minutes. Fill the centre of the ring and garnish the platter with cooked carrots. Ser- ves 8.

And here's an idea for a hot slaw that is quite unusual:

That, my dears, is my text for to- day's beauty lesson! Perhaps you too are a potential beauty with glamour waiting to bloom once you resolve, "I am going to make myself beautiful."

Many experts begin the re- fashioning of a drab woman with an exercise routine. I would be- gin differently. I would take her to an expert hairdresser to have a new coiffure suggested, and ad- : vise daily and weekly treatments for her scalp. Then I would trot her for a facial and manicure, and possibly a complete body massage.

Most compelling beauty is ac- quired. A girl may be born with a prally face, naturally curly hair and a healthy constitution but she may grow into the dowdiest wo- man of her group, unless she de- termines to keep herself attractive.
