Look out for those

PERHAPS you're one of those lucky ones who have no facial mannerisms-but if you're not, then this advice by Lettice Edwards will certainly be of use

to you.

Small Things Count MAKING THE MOST OF FOOD TUE fference between

Soups in particular after endless for the adventurous cool. scope Thus, with tomato soup, the addition of two or three slices of orange, just

new and before serving, will give

With kidney soup, if the king of the onions are included with the stock, no artificial browning will be needed, and the flavour will be greatly m proved. Brown soups of any type respond nobly to the addition of a pinch of curry powder.

When the family begins to tire of new favour by rhubarb, give it n

When making a fruit pic for a plenie, add a tablespoonful of very fine ungo which has been previously soaked in water. This will cause the Juice to form into a frm jelly when cold so that there will be no risk of uny liquid spilling.

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

When stewing dried frulis, the dish is greatly improved if a spoon- ful of orange marmalade is added along with a little suger. Pranes In particular are delicious treated In this fashion.

When stuffing a fowl, try the American plan of adding a sprinkle of cinnamon. The flavour is de- Kelous. Another American iden is to treat beef to a dash of powdered ginger. This imparts

And, finally, if you wish to create a cheese souffle which will be mira- culously light and furry, and which will leave no after effects on the most delicate 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 eye- browa whenever you're thinking deeply-but they have a disastrous effect on your beauty.

Described below are some of the commoncat 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 flattering effects on your face, with the help of the various treatments I have suggested.

DO YOU Tuck in your chin-ivken doubtful?

Shall I? Shan't I? And while you wonder you are giving yourself a couple of double chins as well as a sagging 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 Jotion. 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 Smear a them with a good eye lotion instead. 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 an 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.

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 one will see you! Long- standing lines need hormone of ordinary cream instead

nourishing cream; it's a little more expensive but really helps

to restore broken-down tissues.
