STANDS for. HEADS.

H Fifty strokes of the

hairbrush night and morning will give your head that sleek, ahin- ing look.

And if you brush your hair lightly and dingonally it won't interfere with waves and curls.

Ilinses bring out your hair's highlights-lemon and ctumomile for blondes, vinegar and a few minutes of a vegetable henna pack for brunettes.

If you've an oily senip, ask the hairdresser for a high-frequency treatment. If you've dry, brittle hair, see that it is well oled

over and apply warmed oil- almond oil for blondes, olive oil for brunettes-with soft tooth- brush. Rub the sealp with the Anger-tips in a rotary movemen and leave swathed in a towel for an hour or a night before wash- Ing in tincture of green soap.

STANDS for ICE

These three outfits a suit, a coat, an evening frock-all follow the same idea. And it's a good idea. A backward swing

to your skirt gives you the right line, makes you look slim and graceful.

LEFT: Tomato-red broadcloth three- quarter-length jacket worn over a black brondcloth sutt. Top of the coat is cut to fit tightly, with two scama down the, back. Flared fullness aprings from the waist, stands out over, the tight skirt. Elongated pockets carry out the line.

CENTRE: Evening frock made in black cire satin. All the lines run in the same direction, 30 that the eye is carried from the sweeping V of the bodice down to the flowing fullness of the skirt... flowing to the bark, of course. Fullness starts on the hips, the waistline is moulded tightly. Hood and cope are of black lace.

RIGHT: Overcoat in bleek broadcloth trimmed with Persian lamb. Contrast is made by the lines of the revers, which run crossivar, and lines of the skirt, which are gored out and down from the pockets.

· Milky Household Hints

ALWAYS rinse a milk sauce.

pan out with cold water before pouring in the milk for heating, as this makes it less likely to burn. A large marble placed in the saucepan is another safeguard against the milk "catching."

WHEN milk is heated for coffee or for drinking it should never be boiled, as this spoils the flavour. To prevent a skin forming over the milk the

be saucepan should removed from the fame as soon og it is sufficiently hot, poured into a jug, and the jug stood in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes,

W

WHEN milk has unfortunately boiled over on to the stove the stains can be removed quite casily if salt is sprinkled over them and they are then wiped with a cloth wrung out in warmn water.

MILK is much more effective

than water for sealing the edges of pastry. Pantry will also bake to a most appetising brown If it is lightly brushed over with milk just before It is put into the oven.
