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 wọ- 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 it is usually his womenfolk who choose the pattern and colour- ing, though this service they execute from patterns he brings home for them to choose from, for he

Un rules his taller "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 vogun? of these; they're delight- I've just been handling some 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 purchasent.

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 bottom.
