Sand

ecrets

here are some tips for those of you who are busy. experimenting with sandwiches.

Very new bread is never satisfactory. If you are giv- ing a party, order your sandwich loaf from the baker the Most day before and have it cut the thickness you want. hakers will give you this service free, or for a very small charge and it will save you such a lot of work.

"In cold weather, rather than melling the butter, which is never quite the same, use a sharp knife dipped frequently in boiling water. You can keep a small sancepan of water boiling by your side.

In hot weather, lay the sandwiches immediately they are made on your marble pastry slab (if you are lucky enough to have one) or on a porcelain-topped table. Cover with greaseproof paper and with a clean cloth well rung out in cold water. They will keep fresh for some hours this

tea..

Let's have Something Cold

Pineapple Salad

One tin of pineapple chunks. One round lettuce heart. One apple, grated, a few grapes or seculesa raisins. One hard-boiled eng. A little cucumber or beetroot, diced. Two tablespoons of chopped nuts. The strained juice of one orange and one amalt lemon. Salt, pepper, mayonnaise, sugar to taste.

Shred the lettuce, prepare all the rest in the usual way, then arrange the mixture in the salad bowl. At the last minute, pour the 'mayonnaiss dressing over it, sprinkling the nuts on top last.

Avocado Pear Mousse

Scoop out the pulp of the pear, and mash this well. All the stifly beaten white of an egg, and fold it in with lemon and sugar to taste. Serve piled up in sundae glasses.

Jelly Meringues

Get eight meringue cases and a half pint packet of any jelly you like. Dissolve the jelly in hot water. Allow this to set very firmly, then chop finely and fill each meringue case with the jelly.

Whisk up three pennyworth of cream till stiff enough, then place some on cach meringue filled with jelly. Decorate with either a glace cherry or a little green coconut.

Salad Secrets

Simple

TRUTH lurks at the bottom of a salad bowl. Inspect it after it has been emptied of salad, and you should be able to tell whether the salad was well or poorly made.

The presence of water will betray the fact that watery lettuce has 2 major been used, and that is offence.

A dappled pool of oil and vinegar shows

ingredients that these two were carelessly mixed, so that they slid off the vegetables instead of clinging to them.

A fragment of black-edged lettuce

is a sign that it was divided by means

of a knife instead of being pulled apart with the flagers.

How to Dry Lettuce THERE is a remedy for each of

these faults.

The obvious way to avoid wet lettuce is to dry it properly after 11 has been washed. This is best done A cloth, by putting the leaves In gathering the corners of the clou to- gether, and swinging it gently to and tro.

The all and vinegar problem is casily folved if you remember that these two will not mix properly together, and that vinegar will not stick to an oiled surface.

You therefore, mix together a best vinegar

Then take

tablespoonfuls (or less, if you like) of olive oil, and pour this in its turn over the lettuce, turning gently until cach leat has its .coating of oil overlaying the vinegar dressing.

Sp

OME women say they can't see any point about this craze for slacks for beach and holiday wear.

They say

that a thin, short-sleeved frock is much cooler and ever so much prettier.

Well, I'm not going to attempt to explain exactly why slacks have become such a vogue. I suppose it's partly the vanity which anys we must wear something new as often as possible, and to show that it really in new it must be as different as possible from the garment we wore for the samo purpose last time.

In Just the same way, we send our hot crowns up and down and maite their brims wide or non-existent even though the last season's fashion was the one that sulted us absolutely best of all.

B

UT that's not all there is to this slacks-for- playtime business. With their wide legs they really are much cooler than they often look. You need wear nothing but the very briefest panties underneath.

If there's a gale blowing they will stay put-no need to grasp suddenly at skirts flying fimmodestly above knees, You can stride along in comfort. And it your knees and legs aren't your beauty spots you will look much more elegant in slacks than in the equally popular shorts.

I wouldn't, of course, advise a really fat woman to wear them. But if they are well-fitting and well-made they look equally smart on the 16-year-old or the slim 46, The pattern which Angrave has illustrated here, is n good design to choose.

The slacks are easy to make, are shaped nicely to the waist, are wide-legged without being sloppily baggy, and there's a useful hip pucket ut the right back.

They fasten at the side, either with three buttons or with a stick zipper. In short, they look trim and tailored and therefore hail-marked.

The shirt is also included in this pattern-a real sports shirt with its cumfortably full back gathered to the yoke at each side and Bnished with a centre Inverted box pleat. You can make it with short sleeves or long, button the front fastening high up or leave it open.

WOOL stockinette, light-weight flannel, Viyella or heavy

weight linen are all good fabrics for the slacks.

If you don't want them to look solled quickly, make them in navy blue

ur dark green, and make your shirts of clear pastel colours or of vivid striped, checked or oddity designs. But if frequent laundering doesn't bother you white linen slacks with durk shirts look the absolute tops on a sunny beach or on the decks of a cruising steamer.

And for sun-bathing you can leave off the shirt and wear a cotton halter instead-you've no doubt got a few in your holiday wardrobe.

DON'T WASTE YOUR EARS

THIS IS HOW TO SHOW THEM OFF

T may seem absurd to attach much importance to ears, because they are so often hidden. But if yours are at- tractive, don't waste them by drawing your hair for ward. Make them noticeable.

Ears should be small, white, well-shaped, with narrow lobes, and should lie close to your head. Show them as much as possible.

☆

This means you can do your hair in the newest, most attractive hair styles, drawn up and off your face, rolled behind and above your ears. These styles are particularly good for profile views.

When you are making up your face, powder lightly over your cars, and put a touch of rouge in the centre of the lobe, to narrow

it.

Show off your ears by weuring earrings—but be sure you choose! the kind that suits your face. If you have a round or square face, with rather broad cheekbones, wear long, heavy, dangling earrings; they will give length to your face.

If you have small, thin features, or if your face is at all long. slick to short, single earrings-clips to match your solitaire stones.

Should you have well-shaped cars that are spoiled by a tendency to stick out, sleep at night in one of those caps shaped like a baby's sleeping cap. It will hold your cars firmly close to your head, and keep them there.
