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.

LTERE are three ideas from three of the winter

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.

WINTER SALADS

TN winter, when the ordinary salad vegetables are expensivo and scarce, the housewife la apt to omit salads from her menu, not reallsing that many tasty dishes miny be made with the help of rold cooked vege- inbica.

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

Boiled rice, chopped celery (un- coolted), mixed with a little mayon- naise, garnished with small balls of cream cheese, flavoured and coloured with tomato sauce, and the whole lightly sprinkled with chopped pars- ley: haricot beans, finely chopped onions, and beetroot, sprinkled with French dressing: pocetroot, all chopped parsley, and served with a bolled carrot turn

neatly diced, French beans or tinned peas, mixed lightly with cream or mayonnaise dressing. Diced potato, celery, peas, and hard-boiled egg. It the hollow stalk of the celery is filled with cream, the salad is doubly delicious.

Tinned peas, sprigs of broccoli, un- cooked celery, and tomato; I liked. Grated cheese may be sprinkled over this.

Celery, tomato, apple, and walnuts make a tasty salad, or potato, celery, tomato, and hard-boiled eg and I some good sweet chutney; cucumber, chutney, macaroni, and peast rice and sweet corn. garnished with tomalo and walnuts.

Any of these sainds may be served without meat as a salad course or a supper dish. In this ense an at-

tractive method of serving is to arrange on individual plates, piling ench portion on a crisp, curied ict- tuce leaf-If such a thing procur-

loy, and hard-boiled egg, or, if liked, It may be liberally sprinkled with grated cheese.

Unusual Dressings

The ordinary dressings may be made more interesting by the addi- ton of some other ingredient to the usual base.

To vary mayonnaise add either one

tablespoonful of tomato sauce to every gill of dressing, or one table- apoonful finely chopped onion, or the same amount of chopped gherkins or finely chopped olives.

Tomato sauce should not be used in any dressing that is served with colours will not blend. For the same
