DINING

within the

EMPIRE

QUICK transport and perfec

tion in tinned, foods have brought to the world's table all. the dollencles of the Empire. We can have the most luscious of summer fruits in the middle of the winter, and the most unusual products of different parts of the world at our own dinner tables.

Empire dinners will be fashionable during Coronation celebrations, and with so many good things to choose from these are easy to evolve. Here are some suggestion for dishes:

Pineapple Cocktails

The small pineapples from South Africa make excellent-fruit cocktails and compgies. They are more Juley if boiling water is poured over them and they are left in it for a few minutes before taking off the outside skin..

Remove all the eyes carefully, cuf Into small pieces, sprinkle with

Canadian maple sugar,

and then

equeeze with lemon juice. Chili before serving. The pineapple con be mixed with a few shelled South African lychees .or some halved and stoned bluck grapes, or the addition of granadilla pulp gives an unusual flavour.

Clam Cream Soup

Canada supplies excellent inned clams, and these can be made into a Lood cream soup. Drain the juice from the clams, and put in a double saucepan with as much mit as will 1 the empty tin. Thicken with butter and cornflour, add the finely- chopped clams, and cook gently for about 15 minutes. The soup can be rubbed through a sleve if preferred.

Baked Salmon

Choose thick stlers of Canadien salmon, wash and dry them and put in a buttered balting tin. Chop half a small onion finely, mix with some salt, pepper, and a little grated nutmeg, sprinkle over the fish and put a lump of butter on each slice. Bake in a hot oven, basting frequent- ly. Drain before serving, and cont

FOR THE

TEA-TIME HOUR

HERE is something particularly femi- nine about blouses, However severe. your' tailor-made, you can give your outfit a pleasing womanly look when Choosing blouses to go with it.

Organdio, so easy to launder, is going to be a favourite. In the Illustration you see a blouse designed in this material that carries all before 16, so wide and large are the frills that have been intro- duced down the front.

For wear later on in the day, blouses in this at- tractive material are cut bolero shape and bordered with vividly coloured nowers.

ACE, too, has a front place in Corenaiton fashions. Both day and evening blouses are being made of this good wearing texture material. For day wear, styics are neat looking with long. tight-fitting sleeves, with just a hint of fullness at the shoulder.

It is in the evening when long satin or crepe skirid are donned that one sees lace blouses in their beauly. Enormous sleeves, slashed backs, frilly and straight basques. short bolero effects, each indi- vidual note of fashion gives something to that most useful item of the wardrobe-the lace blouse.

Lace has the inestimable merit of always bob- bing up again looking as fresh as can be. It wil to triumphantly through the evening without crease and come up again quite cheerfully for several other parties. A tip tilted hat is required to go with our third blouse ( soft red cliffon) from the Paris shows, Cleverly draped sleeves give a high look to the shoulders without making them square.

LL these blouse fashions are absolutely in keeping with the Jaunty low crowned hats that are a fenture, of the hat

A few flowers stretched on a net foundation make. a pretty cap- simped hat. Here, too, you can let your fancy run riot. You can be an colourful as an herbaceous border. A narrow band of flowers instead -st gluelic will keep your toque balanced at the right angle.

Soft, red chiffon with dropou

sloovas and bow finish makes

a charming afternoon blouse.
