FASHION,

The cool weather will soon be here and already the stores are beginning to ex hibit pretty outpits suitable for the I should imagine autumn and winter. finely knitted woollen sweaters, with and without sleeves, will be popular during the coming season. I have also seen many pretty long coats in fine knit-work, some of the colour schemes of which are Collars of brush-wool very attractive. are still fashionable. Mackintoshs.

At Lane, Crawford's is to be seen a selection of mackintoshs, in different colours, calculated to suit all tastes. Many of them have pretty designs work- ed into the colour scheme as well and one that caught my fancy was a "Jazz design. Jazz" mackintoshs will give a touch of brightness to dull wet days.

Hats.

Small bets are still the most favoured and there are little black models, so small, that one wonders now they can possibly it any woman's head. The re sular trimming is similar to thas used on evening gowns-flowers made of very small braid.

Things You Can Dọ at Home,

Balore going to bed at night is the best time to apply most preparations, and a brief routine will become mechanical after it has been followed for a few nights. Begin with the care of the hair. If you give your scalp a gentle massage every aight your hair-troubles will soon be at an end. The massage should be given with the tips of the angers in a rotary motion, and care must be taken to move the scalp itself and not merely the hair.

Wash your hands in warm water and rinse there in cold water with a few drops of benzoin sprinkled into it. This takes

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Bathe your jewellery 1 Certainly. Many women are very particular in this mattor. Some of them send their best pieces hack to the shop from which they came to have them cleaned Every woman, however, can attend to the matter herself.

Put your jewellery in a glass of hot water into which you put soap and dash of ammonia. Do not clean pearls like that. Pearls are an exception. If the knots between the pearls on your string get very dingy the only thing to do is to have them restrung. If the dirty. ing process has not proceeded very far, try burying the whole string in a box of French chalk for a day or two, and after that brush it with a very fine brush. Alcohol Rubs.

Alcohol rubs are a wonderful remedy against colds. But, many people cannot stand the shock. Therefore put the alcohol into a bottle with a sprinkler top and wet it in a dish with hot water. Then sprinkle is on the skin while it is still warm and rub it immediately. You will experience a very soothing effect. In addition, put a few drops of rose-water into the alcohol to take away the unplea- sant odour.

An old tubber sponge is excellent for cleaning the porcelain in the bathroo and the tubs. It retains the scouring powder, produces a good amount of fric tion and does not became stringy as cloth. does. It easily rinsed after use. Monding a Tear in a Mackintosh.

COOKING RECIPE.

Braised Tongue.

Casseroles should be used for the pre paration of this dish. Let "a medium- sized tongue soak in salt and water for two hours. Rinse it, put it into a pan with cold water to cover it and bring it slowly to the boil. Then take it out peel off the skin and trim the root. In rather a deep casserole put a bed of mixed vegetables. Put the tongue on the top and add a little salt and enough stock to cover the vegetables,

Cover Arst with greased paper, and then with the lid of the casserole and cook slowly for nearly three hours until the tongue is tender, basting the meat from time to time with the stock. Serve the tongue either in the casserole or on s hot dish with the grayy round. Spinach, plainly boiled, makes a good accompani ment to this dish.

It is wisdem, of course, to make subtle use of fine vailet secemaries to enhance and accent the features and the natural colouring. But it is tragio to try to hide blemishes with cosmetics, for each year you will grow mars dependent on these artificial means of concealing the ravages of your unwisdom.
