INNER at eight. It's just a small flick' party. Do come." Thousands of invitations something like this are being given, and will be given right through the winter.

Automatically, every woman asks herself "What shall I wear?"

No need to put on a decollete evening frock, yet one of the short-skirted afternoon dresses, even in a metal brocade or velvet, hardly meets the case-unless, of course, "don't dress" is a postscript to the invitation.

KTERE are three ideas from three of the winter I collections of well-known designers which are sure to grace many a flick party this season.

Big sketch first. This is a Lachasse design in knitted woollen. It's easy to wear; it's warm; and it's flattering to the figure. Colour: black bordered in orange, white, royal, emerald, yellow--a real rainbow of stripes. The border is used on the bodice to form a sort of loose over-blouse, with the stripes running perpendicularly and quite detached from the bodice.

Small sketches: 1 and 2 make an ensemble. This is a Heim creation. The dress in purple and white stripe lame, very beauti- fully fitting, and the coat in purple velvet, the lapels, hat and muff strewn with violets,

The third small sketch shows a Worth dinner dress in tomato pink close-clipped velvet-a lovely night shade.

It is made figure-fitting to the hips and fastens down the front with a concealed zipp. A special feature of this otherwise very simple frock is the necklace of rows of gilt chains threaded with pearls at intervals of about an inch, and the matching brace- lets on each wrist.

WINTER SALADS

IN winter, when the ordinary salad vegetables are expensive and scarce, the housewife is apt to omit salads from her menu, not realising that many tasty dishes may be made with the help of cold cooked vege- tables,

These are not only delightful in themselves, but health-giving and left- economical, many mali overn which would otherwise be thrown out may be utilised for the salad. Here are a few suggestions:-

Boiled rice, chopped celery (un- cooked), mixed with a Bitle mayon- naise, garnished with small balla of cream cheese, favoured and coloured with tomato sauce, and the whole

lightly sprinkled with chopped ley; haricot beans, finely cho onlons, and beetroot, sprinkled with chopped paraley, and served with a boiled French dressing: potatoes, carrol, turnip, and beetroot, all neatly diced, French beans or linned pena, mixed lightly with cream or mayonnaise dressing. Dleed potato, celery, pens, and hard-boiled egg. If the hollow atalk of the celery is Alled with cream, the salad is doubly delicious,

Any of these salads may be served without meat as a salad course or a supper dish.
