COAT FROCK
& BOLERO -for Spring
OLOUR is so much a matter of ̧ ̧ personal tasto and expression that a change in seasonal fashions ia Inanitely more noticeable when longth, type of material and actual shape arc affected.
Our artist this week has drawn two models from a recent London dress parade which give a very clear lead.

as to what the 1030 silhouette will be. First, note the alispelt-in short, all those intricate elements on ness of the bodice part, the smooth shoulderline; the bell sleeve and the "up-to-the-throatness" in both models.
One, you will remark, has the Httle' upright collar of Chinese inspiration. A future popular detall, I am convinced. One model has a bolero top. That also is the return of a favourite fashian, and the other, with its heat belted waist. has a youthful athletic look, which accords well with the much shortened skirt of the future.
Live-Long Fashions
There are no fussy detalls or " bittiness" about these two spring outfits to detract from their simplicity.
They are designs which will retain their new look for a long time-n point, which is too often overlooked by the busy woman in search of a fashion.
The actual materials are dark patterned in the weave, with a light tracery of lines or checks. These, again, are practical front the wearer's point of view, as they do not show dust and. marks as a perfectly plain material docs,

There are Going To Be More Quadruplets
IN the last few months. quadruplets have been .born in London, St. Neots,
Texas, and New Zealand.
In the past few years their arrival has been reported from Leeds, Algeria, Russia, America, Canada and Birmingham, while a Turkish woman produced a second set not so very long ago. The Dionne quintuplets are world-famous, and yet another set of "quins" arrived two weeks ago in Nicaragua.
Look in any encyclopaedia and you will see that the birth of more than two children at a time is rare. Tri- plets, oven, are on unusual

Then why this sudden appearance
of multiple birtha?

A famous scientist was recently asked,
"It is Nature's reply to family limitation," he said,
"Young couples to-day pur- ponely limit the xizo of their families. They choose whent fo have a baby. But that is where . Nature stepa in.
"Naiure declares: 'You will not have Just one baby, as you expect
but two, three, four, or even five at a time,"
laid down that population tended to Malthus, famous English oconomist. increase beyond the means of sub--
sistence.
Then would come war, famine, or pestilence to keep the numbers down. After which birth would increase more than ever before.
Britain's and other nations' populations have been decimated by war. War clouds are again in the air. Nature, left to herself, has to see the birthrate go up to stem the wastage.
And that is why quadruplets are becoming so common.

Why
not try
a Sweet Supper?
NEW and economical way of entertaining is to invite your friends to a meal of sweets. It can either be used as a sub- stitute, for a cocktail party or to replace the usual fork supper, ›
· A fork supper is useful because it enables you to Invite many more guests than you could ever have to dinner in a small flat. But it is expensive. The meal of sweets is far cheaper because it , works out at about $5 to $10 per dozen prople, and it takes ab-
aolutely no preparing.
Superficially the thought of eating a whole meal of sweets might seem rather rich and overpowering. But there is nothing sickly about it when you come to view the various courses, and even the non-sweet-tooths will be contented.
The first course consists of sweets that are really made for. eating with cocktails They are very ornamental-little round caramel balls stuck on sticks. Inside they are stuffed with either
cheese, ham or olives,
Instead of fish you have a prawn, coated with thin trans- parent caramel glace and resting on a little caramel base. When you are enting it you hold it by its whiskers to avoid getting sticky.
.
Then come cutlets, måde of real chopped ham inside a fon- dant that is coloured to look like a piece of ham. There is a sprinkling of brown sugar on top to look like brendcrumbs.
The "sweet" course is a chocolate bomb made of meringue stuffed with truffle and dipped in chocolate.
These courses are all cold, but the savoury can be served hot
as it is nougat "on horseback." In other words that nougat is wrapped in a tiny thin slice of fried bacon. To finish you can have a choles of brandy cherries or a strong coffee aweet,
