Chic idea from Paris

Handbags shaped like horseshoes with silver studs for nails, liandbags in the design of a huge chestnut Icof with leaf-stem for clasp. A hand- bag in the shape of a ble leather daisy.

Belts in squashy calf, like the binding of prize books, printed with names of classics. A black patent leather belt with three golden keys as clasp, Belts of strings of multi- coloured twisted leather, with can-

buckles embroidered with

owner's initials.

Brooches like a bunch of grapes made of coloured stones with leaves of gilt, Collar-shaped necklaces of multi-coloured glass starfish, and others of bunches of glass grapes. Bracelets from which dangle tiny gilt charms, prams, miners lemps, coffee-grinders, a row of five-cent coins chained through the holes hearts in mousetraps.

Flat powder-cases ilke two dominoes, double-six ond double- blank, in the shape of a padlock, and in the shape of the four aces; rectangular cases with one side for cigarettes and one side for powder. with lipstick and watch-container on the lid; and finally one made entirely of coloured mirror.

Tasty Dishes from Cold Joint

To get the best results from a cold

joint, a few points should be re- membered. One is, that since the meat to be used has already been cooked, it only needs reheating, and not re-cooking.

Frying is an excellent way of do- ing this, provided the meat is pro- tected from direct heat by being encased in batter, potato, &c.

If the meat has to be re-heated in sauce see that the sauce is well cook. ed frst, and either minee the meal or chop it finely, so that it will get hot quickly. Remember, too, that a Jittle hum, tongue or cold bacon added to cold mutton or beef makes all the difference to the savour of a dish.
