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 Allek with a sudden all-pervading frag- ranice. The tomalo season has be- gum!

For werks then, converging down every road, come thousands of trucks laden with shing red tornatoes bound for those soup kettles They hurry, do the trucks. rged by the desire to capture within a few seant hours the fresh perfection of the tomatoes. For these tomatoes were picked only after Mother Nature had in her fullness 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 Pason are they finer in flavour. Serve them often, while you may, in saluds, as a relish, Tomatoes are a 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 cunned toma- 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.

pound fresh pork, ground 11⁄2 cups soft bread crumbs 1 can condensed tomato soup

2 eggs

2 tablespoons chopped onion

11⁄2 teaspoon salt

Are You A Potential

Beauty?

Few of the screen stars ever ex- pected to be considered glamour girls and certainly none of their friends thought it would happen. 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.”

The Making Over 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 pretty 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.
