Bright, happy colours-lupin blue, marigold yellow, forest green, tangerine, the flattering pink flower shades such as clover and dablla-these are some of the new shades which will flash by in a durry of swinging skirts, short coats and scarf-end necks.

This dress can be colourful--- mauvey pink, a deep blue, sea green, or old gold.

The sleeves may stop above the elbow, but the little bolero jacket should be in either a patterned material-preferably checked or striped-or in a contrast colour.

FRESHNESS of fruit and vegetables is the secret of concocting a succulent salad.

If you find you cannot use a whole lettuce for one meal, do not leave the re- mainder soaking, but wrap the leaves in a cloth which has been wrung out in cold water, and put them in a cool place until required.

Should a lettuce become ["dead" looking, soak the separated leaves in cold water for five minutes, then place them in a wire basket and shake well.

Cucumber runyonnaise is a change from the more usual kind. To make thia, beat two egg yolks well and add salt and pepper to taste. Beat in some olive oil-a drop at a time -until you consider the mayon- naise is of the right consistency. Lastly, stir in a few drops of vine- gar. Parboil Д medium-sized cucumber, dice it, and stir in two tablespoonfuls. Serve the mayon-, naise icy cold.

You can use up the remaining two egg whites by putting them in a buttered jar which must be fairly small. Stand the jar in bolling water, taking care not to let the liquid come higher than the middle of the container, and continue to bail until the whites are set; they can then be diced and used to de- corale your salad.
