To Keep you in Voice

Every singer and public speaker knows the necessity for keeping the voice clear and resonant. It is not necessary for, this pur pose to use lozenges and pastilles containing drugs, which must be used with caution, and which are often objectionable in their taste and odour.

The use of black currant juice is one of the good old-fashioned tonics for the voice. The 'Allenburys Glycerine, and Black Currans Pastille is the modern way of bring this invaluable and time-honoured remedy. These pastilles have a delicious flavour and may be taken freely without causing any harmful effect.

CHOKER FUR TIES.

Little choken fur ties of ermine now considered very thie in Pazia when worn with a black coat: they form an attractive contrast to the fashionable coats with deep. wide collars and cuffs of fur which are in vogue. These ermine tics are shown off in an attractive manner on head and shoulder Siegel manne quins with but one eye, coloured red, white, green, and blue.

TWO NEW RECIPES.

MINCED STEAKS.

Take a pound of fillet steak, mince it finely and season it with salt, pepper, and perhaps a dish of grated horse-radish. Then work in bit by bit assiduously and thoroughly a quarter of a pound of butter. On a heavily-floured board divide the meat into seven or eight parts; make flat balls of these and flour each slightly. Then dip into well-beaten egg and breadcrumb them, the breadcrumbs having a alight touch of chopped par Eat these with bread anuce, is nice with many things besides roast bird.

The sauce should be made; thus: Boil a breakfastcupful of milk, or rather make it very hot, in it being a couple of cloves, teaspoonful of chopped Spanish onion and a large pinch of salt. Strain and replace in the pan, then adding two very full tablespoonfuis of soft breadcrumbs, Simmer far about twenty minutes. At the last stir in a dessertspoonful of butter.

CHICKEN COMFORT.

This is a way to make a chicken quite delicious. Half roast, or, if that is impossible, bake it, and then put it in a warm corner while a couple of onions, sliced fairly thinly, are being fried to a delicate brown in the "basting," which. should be dripping. Then cut up the chicken, putting the pieces into a stow pan with the onion, adding a tablespoonful of curry powder, a tablespoonful of butter, and just enough water to cover the whole. Simmer till all of the bird is quite tender, then eat with some squeezes of lemon. A little of the strained liquor can be served as sauce, with the addition of not too much Wor cestershiro noce,

LATTICED VELVET HAT.

Panne velvet in deep beech brown makes an effective decoration for a simple hat of leaf brown velour. The crown of the hat is cut away in small squares, and the velvet introduced to form a lattice pattern across one side. The same material is used to line the, underbrim, and gives a soft and becoming frame for the face.

A GOLDEN DRESS.

This little evening dress one. on quite simple lines depends on the beauty of the material for its effect. It is designed for chiffon brocade velvet with a plain chiffon yoke and hem in a soft old gold color.

A BIRD ON THE SHOULDER.

One big Paris "couturière ""has lauuched the idea of wearing a bird on the shoulder for the evening in stead of a flower; the watchmakers have replied by making a jewelled. watch brooch, so that women can wear their time on their shoulders too. Special watches for sports wear have straps of twisted thongs of leather:

FISH.

SUCH DECORATIVE CREATURES.

The general idea seems to be that fish have only one part to play in home life; filleted, fried, boiled or baked, they rest in parsleyed and lemon-garlanded state on the dinner table. Yet a few minutes in the Zoo aquarium, or by a fishmonger's alab where millet and mackerel lie in silvery heaps and lobsters flaunt their scarlet livery, are quite enough to prove that the creatures poskes a very definite and most sur- prising decorative value.

Take goldfish, for example. These small wisps of orange and amber, silver and broazy black, are suf- ficiently attractive to be welcomed as drawing room pets; why should they invariably be pushed into the background of the nursery! They add points of interest to the colour scheme, and the sinuous measures of their mazy dance never cease to fascinate. With the lights and shadows which lurk within their crystal bowl, they form a thing of beauty which, even the most sophis ticated candot despise.

JEWEL ENSEMBLES.

Instead of wearing several kinds of jewellery on the same occasion, fastidious women are seeking sets of brocches, rings, necklaces, and bracelets to match. These trinkets can be found in several of the Oriental abops here. One fascinat ing set is composed of long Spanish earrings, a necklace and bracelet of square links, and an square ring, all made in amethysta and jade. The amethysts are cut in large squares with small jade stude at the sides, the whole being set in silver. The sets are made in many stones and can be purchased to har
