So, in order to be able to give you first hand news of what will-be worn afloat this summer, the other day I snt and watched suntanned models parade in the latest cruis- ing clothes against a canvas back- ground of blue sea and a sky barked with Deocy clouds.

How do you like the idea of rust lineg slacks and bolero? With this outfit, which is illustrated here, is worn

Uime green shirt and a soft yellow baat. These colours are as amort as paint worn togelber,

Blacks are rather Wider this season, so that they give a more graceful line. Many models in navy havo olther a wide stripe of bruld or two narrow vaes down either side, which has a "height making." as well as nautical, effect Blacks rather mannish in cut are worn with n scarlet dopbio-breasted jacket.

Bright Sashes

Shorts dresses are trying to ount the popular sun-bathing tập from favour, " but they have taken on a difficult task, as with a pair of ercam tussore or linen shorts, alternate coloured tops give an easy change of costume.

White dannet shorts, well tailored. are the latest craze.

A novelly of the season is a short clrcular skirt with a Lightning Fastener at the side, which, on occa« sions, can be worn as a cape to protect one's back from the sun; a practical idea this.

Brightly coloured braid sashes with fringed ends give a tropicat note to a light hued outfit,, but these are added. of course, to one's costume after the daily dozen have been performed.

ACIDITY

Stomach Acidity is one of the penalties of modern Wo. It'arises from a variety of causes-Irregular meals, imperfect 'diges. tion setting up food fermentation, wrong diot, mental anxiety, etc. Whatever the cause may be, one thing is certain and simple, and that is the cure. To correct acidity you must tako’an alkali or what is called an “ant-acid.". The most widely used alkaline powder, increasingly taken because of its never-failing benefit, is MACLEAN BRAND Stomach Powder, sold in bottles in cartons, both clearly distinguished by the signaturo, ALEX. C. MACLEAN." A spoonful of this powder in water, takon after meals, when the deadly effects of acidity are most virulent, is a certain corrective, The sensation soumets disappears and is replaced by a feeling of wholesome clean- じます。 You feel and know that your digestion is working normally again and that food fermentation has ended.

You should always correct acidity immediately, as otherwise you are laying the foundation of the very painful and dangerous condition known as gastric or duodenal ulcer. So effective is Maclean Brand Stomach Powder that it lins actually saved many a stomach sufferer an operation for ulcers, but surely it is far better to dispose of the trouble in its early stages by taking a regular doso of Maclean Brand Stomach Powder. your own interests, beware of worthless imitations Genuitis Maclean Brand la nover sold loose--only in bottles in cartons (powder or tablets).

Different Sweets

HERE are three recipes for

special-occasion sweets.

To make ginger cream, boil three-quarters of a pint of milk and pour over two eggs well beaten and mixed with three

Ounces of caster sugar and a teaspoonful of ground ginger. Mix up together and add half- an-ounce of gelatine and a few drops of essence of lemon. Stir over the fire, without boiling, till mixture is thick.

When cold, add three ounces of ginger pieces cut up small and a small tin of cream whipped up, or quarter of a pint or more of tresh cream whipped. Fill into a mould lightly oiled with salad oll. The oil makes it unneces- sary to dip the mould in hot water before turning on to a dish.

Decorate with sweetened whipped cream on top and round the edge, and sprinkle with u- little chopped or grated pistachio nut, or sugar coloured pink or green. To colour granulated augar, put some in a saucer and mix in a little colouring. Store the surplus in a small corked bottle or covered jar until re- quired again. PEAR SPONGE

Make or buy a.aponge sandwich and put together with apricot jam and pastry custard, Spread the top also with jam and spread thickly with custard, then arrange. some tinned pears on It, tops converging at the centro and the outer side of the pears uppermost. Lay a few halved glace cherries down the centre of each pear and, preferably with a large rose pipe and bag, fill in the spaces with sweetened whip- ped cream, and again add a little pistachio nut.

For the pastry custard, put two ounces each of butter, sugar, and flour and two yolks of eggs in a pan and mix in half a pint of warm milk by degrees. Stir over the fire till thick without bolling. Leave to cool. Mix in two tablespoonfuls of cream or tinned milk and a little essence of vanilla or lemon. BANANA BARQUES
