Chilblain Time

CHILBLAINS are likely to attack

the under-nourished or dell- cute and annemie young girl. There are few people, however, even to- day, with our wilder winters, who have not at some time "fell the pinch," and also the hot flush and "cold burn" of the chilblain, whe- ther it affects the hands, feet, cars,

or nose.

HINTS FOR PREVENTION

Prevention is, of course, better than cure. Whenever there la 11 tendency for chiblains to appear--- whether on the funds, feet, curs, or nose-it means, apart from a severe spell of sharp winter, that there is a lack of calcium in the blood and a deficiency of certain vitamins in the diet.

There is some form of malnutri- tion, and, somehow, even with a full diet, the system is not getting all it should for that particular organism wih its personal weak poluta.

BEAUTY CHOPPE

Feeling rather frivolous, how- ever, I was in the mood for brighter things, and I found a

delightful red oilsilk waterproof decorated with white spots.

These oliskins in self tones ate particularly cheery, and nothing pleases my eye more than to see a pretty girl step- plug along in a gay colourful oilskin, the reflection DI ber matching umbrella casting a pleasant glow over her face.

Becoming Colours

The cherry reds, scaricts"and" deeper greens are to my mind the most becoming shades.

An outfit of this kind must be chosen by daylight, and any col- ours that throw a yellow or bluish Linge over the face should be avolded.

For headgear there are changes. Instead of the ordinary oilskin or mackintosh hat, a head scarf that ties under the chin like that of an Irish colleen is being worn.

Footwear for bad weather always interests me, and I noticed some Kolosh bootees with turn-over tops. They were quite inexpensive, and

GOOD COOKING

BY AMBROSE HEATH

Dishes with Onions

ONIONS,

so good for us in the cold weather, give a savoury touch to many small dishes, and it may be worth while to remember

a few of them here, especially those dishes called a la Lyonnaise."

For the first three, the onions must be sliced and lightly fried first of all. They can then be mixed in the frying-pan with freshly-cooked sauter potatoes, and fried together with them for a minute or two, making Potatoes a la Lyonnaise. Or they can be mixed with hot haricot beans or cooked brussels sprouts, and similarly tossed in the pan so that the cooking is Binished with the two together.

Another

Blond

Lyonnaise dish is made with cold tripe. Cut the tripe in thin strips, finish as above with an equal amount of fried onions, just swill the pan with vinegar, which is poured over the tripe and onions, and sprinkle chopped parsley on the top. This, by the way, should also com- plete the potato dish.

The third with potatoes is to mix some lightly-fried unions with some nicely mashed potatoes, seasoning with salt, pepper and nutmeg, then to put it, well pressed down, into a shallow fireproof dish, sprinkle the top with melted butter and brown it in the oven.

EGGS

EGGS A LA LYONNAISE

in Lyonnaise are made by frying some sliced onions without colouring them, sprinkling them with flour and then making a sauce of them with hat milk-really an unlun sauce.

the beef in thin slices and mince the onlons very finely. Heat half butter and half olive oil in a frying pan, and try the onion until a light, gold, then add the beef, seasoning with salt and pepper.
