CHANGE YOUR MAKE-UP

When you have a new dress out- fit, you obviously need to look to your powder and rouge; the same would perhaps not be successful. A very good plan is to have a second box of powder by you." You might have one either slight- ly lighter, or slightly darker in tone to your usual one. Change: your rouge and lipstick, too.

For evenings, and for artificial light, make-up should be rather different, one should emphasise oneself "a" little more. AEttle lighter powder, more of it, and certainly more rouge is required. When the skin gets rough, pow- der looks entirely different; get rid of the rough skin by massage. with warm almond -of-followed by a liberal application of nour Ishing cream for a quick cure this should be done every day."

The many different kinds of potted meat and fish so easily obtainable nowadays are great stand-bys for most of us, utaual- ly only in the form of sand- wiches. But the more adventur- ous will use them, for something more substantial

Stuffed hard-boiled eggs, for instance, can very well be flav- oured with different sorts of meat -or fish. “Cold, in a bed of lettuce, they make an excellent supper dish, while they can be equally pleasantly served hot with an ap- propriate sauce.

A well-known egg-dish, Scotch- Woodcock, can be prepared with anchovy paste, which is either spread on the toast under the scrambled egg, or even sometimes mixed with it. A mixture of chapped, hard-boiled egg, chop- ped fried onion, and anchovy paste heated together makes a good toast spread when well fav- oured with cayenne pepper.

Now that we can no longer have our Angels on Horseback, we can' try stuffing the little bacon, rolls with potted meat or fish mixed" with breadcrumbs and bound with yolk of egg, sardine and to- mato paste being a specially good combination. It is better to bake the rolls than to try them, and serve them on little croutons and sprinkled with a suspicion of parsley or paprika, pepper.

Another hot dish which can be Improvised quickly, is a souffle flavoured with fish paste, say, lobster; and quite good It is in an emergency. Experiments might also be made in mixing potted meat with a good batter, and dropping it in apoonfuls in deep oll, as might be done with a plain cream of rice flavoured with pot- ted fish, formed into little cro- quettes and fried with a covering either of batter or of egg and ine breadcrumbs or crushed vermi- celli,
