TWO COLOURS.

no pre-occupation is attractive anough to draw women at large from the great, work of home- making. And most men will tell you, if you pin them down to the point, that they welcome women's competition in the labour market because the results of it show how little men have to far on its account.

No, the reason why men dislike what they call 'clever women is because they have a very de- finite picture in their minds of what they mean by the type. They mean the woman who is anxions' to show how clever she is at the expense of any man or all men. who is always parading ber achievements as a sex-advertise- ment, and who feels it her duty to coin sharp sarcasms at the ex- pense of the other sex, and protecti herself from 'reply behind the stout abield of masculite chivalry. Oh, yes The world is full of such women. And they have no patience at all with the happy wives and mothers who rejoice in the slavery of domestic ties, not being claver enough to know that their happiness is only an illusion. |

THIS WEEK'S RECIPE.

Shortbread.

This is really not at all difficult to make, and is universally popular.

Required: Tosach télb, of flour allow 6oz. of butter, 3oz. of caster sugar, and a picoh of salt.

Siave the flour and salt into a basin and rub in the batter, add the sugar, and knead all into perfectly smooth paste. Turn on to a floured board and share into s round about in. thick, pinch it with the fingers round the edges, put it on to a gransed baking tin, prick all over with a {fork, and decorate with strips of citron peel, or sprinkle with comfts. Bake in moderate oven until a pale brown, which will take from 20 to 30 minutes. Do not remove it from the tin until cool.

A plainer shortbread may be made with lase butter, and any favouring essence or the grated rind of a lemon may be added to the mixture where desired.

THE ART OF DRESSING THE HAIR.

No woman should be governed by the dictates of fashion in the matter of her hairdressing- Haiz must be dressed to suit the face. The long, thin face, for instance, does not appear At its best with the hair strained back on to the top of the head. This type requires width at the sides to give the appear- ance of fulness, which is lacking. On the other hand, a somewhat full, round face is often spoilt by full puffs of hair over the ears, Small, boyish faces undoubtedly lead themselves' to the bobbed hair dressing,

the boyish styles, while Madonna types should always see that their hair- dressing is of the classic style. Perfoot classic fea- tures are ruined by fluffy coiffures. These types need a certain severity. The piquant face with merry eyes, tip-tilted rosa and dimples, looks charm- ing with fluffy curls, and should never be without them in some form or another.

Middle partings Are most difficut to wear and should reret be cultivated by any one whose features are rather inclined to hardness. A side parting is much softer..
