DINING

fa tinned foods have! brought to the world's table all | the delicacies of the Empire. We can have the most luscious of summor 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 compoles. They are more juley it boiling water is poured over them and they are left in it for a few minutes before taking off the outside skin,

and

Remove all the eyes enrefully, cut inlo small pieces, sprinkle with

Canadian maple sugar,

then cqueeze with lemon juice. Chill before, serving. The pineapple can be mixed with a few shelled South African lychees or some halved and stoned black grapes, or the addition of irranadilla pulp gives an unusual flavour.

Clam Cream Soup

Canada supplies excellent tinned clams, and these can be made into a good cream soup. Drain the juice from the clams, and put in a double saucepan with as much milk as will All the empty tin. Thicken

with butter and cornflour, add the Brely chopped clams, and cook gently for about 15 minutes. The soup can be rubbed through a sieve if preferred.

THIS name expresses the rare gift of sympathy. You should win the love that is more valuable than admiration or conventional regard.

Monday is your lucky day, and the hour after sunrise and the hour after sunset are the richest in blessings. The 10th day of the month is the best for all personal affairs.

White, silvery grey, and turquoise blue are the colours that tone best with your personality,"

Your lucky gem is the moonstone, your flower is the marguerite, and your lucky number is 7..

Give your jewels a face-clean

EMERALDS, onyx, Jade, diamonds, cornelians, sapphires, rubles-all

hard, sparkling stones-should be bathed in hot soapouds to which

a little ammonia has been added. Use a wooden or China bowl. Scrub briskly with a small soft brush in and around the setting. Dry with slik, soft linen or a scrap of blotting paper rolled into a point. Shaking in jeweller's sawdust gives these alanes an extra twinkle and dries them thoroughly.

Soft, delicate gems, such as opals, lapis lazuli, turquoise and pearls, need lukewarm water. Pearls should have a twice-pearly professional cleaning and re-stringing. Artificial pearls which have lost their lustre should be dipped in French chalk or powdered magnesia, and dusted with slik after a day or two,

Soup and water washes crystal, which should then be dropped in cold water containing washing blue. Clean translucent mother of peart with a soft cloth dipped in salad oil, polishing gently with silke.

Putty powder mixed with olive oil makes silver jewellery glisten after polishing. Sifted whiting and ammonia ir efective on badly tarnished antiques. Let it dry.

A thin coating of jeweller's powder or paste left to dry and removed with a soft brush is good for marcasite. Use this dry-clean, too, for arti ficially, coloured ponis, such as rhinestones. Water cracks the metal coating at the back.

FOR THE

TEA-TIME HOUR

HERE is something particularly femi- nine about blouses.. However BOVETO your tailor-made, you can give your outat a pleasing womanly look when choosing blouses to go with it.

Organdie, so easy to launder, is going to be a favourite. In the illustration you sco a blouse designed in this material that carries all before it, 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 flowers.

*

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

It is in the evening when tong satin or crepe skirts are donned that one sees lace blouses in their beauty. 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 estimable merit of always bob- bing up again looking as fresh as can be. It will go triumphantly through the evening without a elense and come up again quite cheerfully for several other parties. A tip ulted hat is required to go with our third blouse in soft red chiffon) 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 inunty low. crowned hats that are a feature of the hat brim edge of a flat boater shape, or is polsed on a toque just as if a feathered songster had alighted for one short moment.

A few dowers stretched on a net foundation make a pretty cap- shaped hat. Here, too, you can let your fancy run riot. You can be as colourful as an herbaceous border. A'narrow band of flowers instend of elastic will keep your" "Wique bataneed at the right angle.

Soft, red chiffon with drapeu sleeves and bow finish makes

a'charming alternoon blouse. Herboator is lower-trimmed.
