Wear Your

WINGS

T

HE winged Mercury, a figure of grace and beauty, has in- spired a hat for spring. Corn- flower blue wings on a cap of navy felt.

All shades di bluc, both bright and pastel, will appear in the spring hats.

Crowne must be low, but brims are a matter of choice. Wide and shady, cartwheel, narrow and tip- tilled, the "shovel" (hard to wear) or no brim at all. Stif veils also do duty for brims.

Berets and cup grow even more varied and attractive. A dressy ver sion of the Scol's bonnet is worn at afternoon parties. Then there is the awathed turban type, also for forminl accasions. Tu borrow a fashion from great-grandfather, "smoking caps." worn at the back of the head, are de- signed for youthful biondes.

Chin straps are one of the up-to-the- minute fashions. A ribbon of pillar- box red circles the crown of a straw sailor. A narrower ribbon in the same colour is led under the clin, keeping the hat on. A pretty, schoolgirlish fashion. Two colour schemes for hals are planned to tone with outfits worn.

that it is so simply and speedily made. One just pours a pint of hot milk on to the contents of a 4d. packet of powder and stirs over a low heat for a few minutes, with the result that one is sure to pet a perfectly blended cream which will set firmly and evenly:

Caramel Cream THE caramel version of the same aweet, which, by the way, is quite nutri- tious as it contains the finest ; powdered arrowroot among its ingredients, it equally good. The secret of the unusually strong flavours of these awcets lies in the fact that they are seated in special cones which are supplied with the powder and which only release their full flavour when they come into contact with the hot liquid.

Chocolate Malt ANOTHER dessert sweet on similar lines, which

is produced and sent over to us from Canada, has a choco- late matted favour. Set in In- dividual glasses, topped with whipped cream and a place cherry, this makes a must'nour- ishing dish, especially for chil- dren.

Cocktail Marmalade AND you must try some of the new fruit cock-

tail marmalade, which has a most intriguing flavour and makes delicious zandwiches or tart fillings. It contains bananas, Toranges, pineapple, cherries and fruit juice, and is sold in most attractive pagoda-shaped glass jara. A pound of this unusual preserve cosis is.
