MAKING THE MOST OF FOOD

in- E diference between spired chef and an ordinary cook usually lies in subtle additions which nce unknown to the amateur,

Soups in particular ofer endless cook,

scope for the adventurous

Thus, with tomato soup, the addition of two or three alices of orange, just before serving, will give a new and allogether delicious flavour. When making pea soup, try the effect of adding a grated carrot and a pinch of ginger, and the family will treat this homely soup with

the

new respect. With kidney soup, if the skins of onions are included with the stock, no artificial browning will be needed, and the flavour will he greatly !m- proved. Brown soups of any type respond nobly to the addition of a piach of curry powder.

When the family begins to tire of rhubarb, give it a new flavour by un orange squeezing the juice of over i. No water need be added if this is done. And one chef of my acquaintance informs me that to pinnacle of perfection with stawberries, they should be served with orange juice instead of cream. With apple pie, it little orange rind before 19 grated into the sugar sprinkling aver the apples, the flavour will be greatly improved, Tasty Fruit Pics

When making a fruit pic for a plenie, add a tablespoonful of very fine sago which has been previously soaked in water. This will cause the juice to form into a firm felly when cold so that there will be no risk of any quid spilling.

With fruit pies of any type, take a drinking straw, cut it in four, and place these in the ple to form "chim- the postry neys." This prevents from sagging, and thereby keeps it crisp and dry.

When stewing dried fruits, the dish is greatly improved it a spoon- ful of orange marmalade is added along with it little sugar. Prunes in particular are delicious if treated In this fashion.

When stuning a fowl, try the American: plun of adding a spritkle of cinnamon. The Cavour is de- licious, Another American idea is to treat beef to a dash of powdered This imparts a delicious make rump ulty"

flavour, To steak very tender, allow it to lle for an hour or two before cooking in a plate containing one tablespoonful of vinegar and two tablespoonfuls of olive oil.

And, finally, if you wish to create a cheese souffle which will be mira- culously light and, fluffy, and which will leave no after effects on the most daliente digestion, simply add a pinch of blcarbonate of soda.

Bad Beauty Habits

SPECIALLY FOR WOMEN.

MOST bad beauty habits are the result of half-uncon- scious facial mannerisms-a trick of moistening your lips before you speak, a way of knitting your cyc browa whenever you're thinking deeply-but they have a disastrous effect on your beauty.

Described below are some of the commonest of these. Are you guilty of one of them yourself? In that case you must first break the habit, so get a friend to promise to tell you every time you do it." After the habit has gone, it's an easy matter to get rid of all its unflattering effects on your face, with the help of the various treatments I have suggested.

DO YOU Tuck in your chin-when doubtful?

Shall 1 Shan't I? And while you wonder you are giving yourself a couple of double chins as well as a sugging jaw line.

Here's a cure. Sleep without pillows, or with one very flat one. Slap your chin smartly with the back of your hands, using reducing Totion. "A sagging jaw line needs plenty of mas- sage cream smoothed in with the backs of the fingers from jaw to temple, followed by vigorous slapping with a rubber patter wrapped in cotton wool and dipped in astringent.

DO YOU

Rub your eyes-when tired?

Sleepy? But if you rub your eyes to relieve them they only become more irritated. Next time you want to rub your eyes, bathe them with a good eye lotion instead. Smear a little golden ointment on the lids until they are well, and then begin an eyelash grower.

For the wrinkles below use an anti-wrinkle cream, one with an egg content is best and use in occasional pack of sour milk and honey while you rest.

DO YOU

Screw up your eyes-when reading? -

Probably your eyes will ache and smart too after reading, and you should certainly have them tested by an oculist.

Dry fine skins are more liable, to crease than others, but you can improve their condition by increasing the fat content in your food, so long as it agrees with you. Crowsfeet need muscle and anti-wrinkle oils rather than creams; they can be painted on with a camel-hair brush to avoid all chance of dragging the skin and left on all night. A touch of foundation cream will help to disguise the lines until the cure takes effect.

DO YOU Frown-

+

when you concentrate? ·

Thinking hard about the sub- ject in hand-and forgetting that you are putting wrinkles in your forehead-will cause deep lines that in time give you a worried, ageing look.

Give the lines plenty of good massage with nourishing skin food, patting it in if you are not sure of the correct massage movements. And to counteract the relaxing effect of this, re- move it with astringent in the morning. Wrinkle plasters on the offending lines will teach your subconscious self not to frown, besides helping to iron out the wrinkles. Put them on while you are at work, or any time you are somewhere where no one will see you! Long- standing lines need hormone cream instead of ordinary nourishing cream; it's a little more expensive but really helps to restore broken-down tissues.

To laugh at them, nothing is more humiliating or

unfair.

To ask stupid questions. You will find your questions

are invariably personal. Children resent them.

To tell them tales about "bogey men and lions under beds." You will spend many sleepless nights your- self if you do.

To dress them in stupid clothes. Boys especially resent

being made fun of by their playmates.
