COLOUR AND

The chiffon frock shown only re- veals its fullness when the wearer is dancing.

Colours have taken on a rosy huc, as this design is in a sultry pink with a three-toned sash of wild rose pink, a deeper tone and a wine red.

A star in her hair and others scattered on the skirt of the dress give a scintillating, look to the

Lack of fresh air is one of the main things the business woman has to contend with. When you spend hours crouched over desks, and sit ting down, you are apt to forget to breathe properly, and this leads to bronchial troubles. You breathe! stale air in the upper part of your lungs.

Adequate Diet-A Necessity

The brainworker does not need a heavy meal at mid-day. but care should be taken in the choice of food. Fruit and vegetables should be included in the diet, as these are rich in vitamins,

Make some short-crust pastry, roll it out thinly, and cut into rounds large enough to enclose the tomatoes. Fut a tomalo on each round, moisten the edges of the pastry, and cover the tomalo over neatly. Put the dump- lings on a greased tin, and bake in

There is nothing so utterly frus- trating to beauty as a cold in the head. Tired eyes, cracked 11ps, and red noses What a trio to battle against So why not take a vow to this season battle cold and chills and to become the superior sort of person whom germs leave in splendid Isolation?

To start your campaign against chilis, try to get a certain amount of walking daily in the fresh air. It is so good for you and definitely tones up the system.

If you collaborate with the clock and get up half an hour earlier, a walk to the office, or at least part of the way, will leave you not only feeling virtuous but tremendously fit as well. After a week or so you will acquire that "glad to be alive" feel- ing which is a sign of good health.

Shop gazing does not count much as a health walk, for standing about ono on a cold day, dodging from window to another, often leads to a chill. So if you have shopping to do, get it done as quickly and com- fortably as possible, and then put in twenty minutes hard walking. will repay you.

Watch your diet too. Go in for good nourishing meals, but do not overent. Sketchy meals and snacks may see you through the summer, but as the weather gets colder, the. body demands more fuel in the way of nourishing food.

An increase in the amount of meat eaten in autumn and winter is not essential, though there is a natural tendency with most people in this direction. What is essential is your daily raid on the fruit basket in the cause of good health. The virtues of vegetables should not be over-looked. Warmth Essential at Night

A Modern Curc

If in spite of all your efforts you find yourself landed with a cold, try tea. relieving it with

grape frult This is a splendid modern cold cure. Cut a grape fruit still in its skin, into neat pieces. Pour over it a quart of bolling water, and leave for half an hour. The dose is four ounces of the tea every half hour. Grape fruit skin has a certain proportion of quinine in its make up, so that helps to make it a valuable remedy.

If you favour inhaling methods, try peppermint. Into an old tea- spoon put four or five drops of all of peppermint, then strike a molch and hold the spoon over the flame until a vapour arises. Inhale this.

When you get that "stuffed up" feeling in the nose, dip a sponge in hot water, wring it out, and place it as hot as can be borne on the bridge of the nose. This will give you a feeling of relief.
