A doctor was equally emphatic that tennis does not cause any undue strain either to the eyesight or to the muscles. "Any game naturally imposes an extra strain which will soon discover latent weaknesses," he said. "but there ia no reason that I can see why a sound-bodied man or woman should not play the most strenuous tennis year in and year out without any harm, always provided reasonable care is taken to relax in between games."

THE WOMAN'S CORNER.

A HOME BEAUTY COURSE.

In the first place, any kind of treatment which takes in the face alone is worse than useless. It is pathetic, when you come to think of it, this way we have of trying to alter the whole course of nature with the application of a few creams and lotions.

Eat "all kinds of plainly cooked fresh vegetables, lean meats, salads, wholemeal bread, and fresh fruits. Drink, instead of the early morning cup of tea, a glass of fresh orange juice, and instead of endless cups of coffee, water, fresh milk, or lemonade.

Have your windows wide open always, and do ten minutes, exer- eipses every night before you go to bed and every morning when you get up.

Finally, walk. Walking is almost a complete beauty treatment in itself; walk as often and as far as

you can.

Now for the surface treatment For eradicating the lines and hun- dred-and-one blemishes marring the satiny smoothness of your skin you cannot do better than " pack but you must do it carefully.

HOT. SANDWICHES.

The evolution of the sandwich is interesting a well as handy for the housewife. Formerly it was merely a piece of meat between two slices of bread intended to take. the edge off one's appetite. Now" it varies in size from the tiny tit bit for afternoon tea to the "club" sandwiches, which are composed of layers of bread or toast and con- stitute a full meal.

Toast, scones or sautéd bread form the base for these latter. On dull, cool days in summer or winter the hot sandwich is very satisfying. Below are a few recipes which" are simple to make:-

Concordia Sandwiches.

Mince one half pound of cold beef-preferably roast-and add tomato sauce to moisten it. Spread liberally on bread and cover with another slice to form sandwiches. Dip in egg beaten with a little milk and seasoned. Fry them in hot fat. Arrange on a hot platter with a border of bot, diced cooked carrots. These are delicious with tomato tomato sauce poured over them.

Sorrento Sandwiches. Toast lightly on one side the re- quired slices of bread, and butter them. On the tonated side of half of the number of the pieces of bread lay a thick slice of tomato, season- ed, and sprinkle with grated cheese. Top these with thin slices of cooked bacon and cover with the remainder of the pieces of bread with the toasted side down. Brown the sandwiches on both sides in hot fat. Serve at once.

A Dish for all climes. This is a Lenten dish, the recipe" for which is 170 years old:
