THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1937.

Shop Critic says that 80% of men leave the buying of shirts, socks, ties, etc., to their wives. So here's something new

for your Husband

DON'T know why-knowing wo- men's love of shopping-I felt so surprised the other day when the managers of two big men's shops told me that quite 80 per cent. of the purchases of men's shirts, socks, ties, undies and so on are made by women!

Mere man, apparently, still regards shop- ping expeditions, except at Christmas, with disfavour. Or is it perhaps that he hasn't the time, or that he chivalrously relies on woman's superior judgment in all matters of fashion?

Even when he orders a new suit is usually his womenfolk who choore the pattern and colour- ing, though this service they execute from patterns he brings hime for them to choose from, for he still rules his tailor "out of bounds,”

So here's some news for women who like their menfolk to look smart.

Do you know that sports shirts, slip-overs and cardigans made from the same yarn as socks are the latest rogue? I've just been handling some of these; they're delight- fully soft, elastic and light weight, and in most attractive colours and designs.

Angrave is so taken with them that he's sketched a number here, and, what's more, he's done his own shirt and sock buying this time-quite- confident of his wife's approval of his purchases:

These shirts are knit on ribbed stacking machines by Wolsey of Leices

And not all British manufacturers, apparently, ban claim this success abroad. I was most interested to hear Senor Martinez de Hoz's friendly and very frank hint to British manufacturers at the British Industries!

He described himself as a producer from the Argentine, which country has adopted as their slogan: "Buy from those who buy from us." The most Argentine sells raw material to Britain and therefore, he said, is anxious to buy manufactured goods in return. But they cannot always get the goods suitable for their country.

"British goods always means fine quality," he said. "If your fums the markets and local conditions, the good will is there."

Its bottom is perfectly flat so that it cannot reel about on the gas-ring or over whatever hot flame the omelette is going to be cooked. The flame must be hot and the pan must be hot, because speed is the essence of good omelette-making.

Slow cooking means toughness. For this reason, do not put more eggs into the pan than will form a thinnish layer on the

SINCE the plain omelette is the basis of a thousand others,

we will make one.

Put up the pan to get hot, and put into it a piece of butter, which, when melted, will do no more than just cover the bottom of the pan. Three eggs is a handy number to start practice on." Break them into a basin, and beat them just enough to mix the yolks and the whites, adding a seasoning of pepper and salt.
