A mince, of any kind of cooked; meat, htways looks homely. but mixed with suitable sauce and served in scallop shells with a border

With cold meats, salads strike a note of freshness. Do you serve your salads in individu! bowls? This has a pleasant look and alsu ensures

Retting their everybody

favourite "bits" Instead of having to dig to the bottom of a large bowl.

Another alternative would be to use the peel of grape frult or oranges for containers. In this case the salad ingredients should be fairly amul?, so that they cun served without

be difficulty.

When you want a salad to look particularly inviting, cul the top layer into "fancy dress." Try mnk- ing a marguerite from hard bolled, egg. Cut the white into strips the size of the dower petals and arrange them to form a fower. Fill the centro with a round of yolk of egg. and stems and leaves can be cut from strips of cucumber sind.

Another effective

decarution

made of half moons of white of egg arranged scallop fashion round the edge of the dish with a star in the centre.

For this, cut the white of egg into amall rounds, and use the side of the round cutter to stamp off half moons from each side of n round.

This leaves a petal shaped piece in the centre which is useful for making ators.

Cucumber Cues

Perhaps you would prefer cucum- ber to be the high note of your salad? Trent it like this. Remove the green nutside skin, then with a fork, score down the side of the cucumber with the prongs. Go all round the cu- cumber, and then get the cork from the cochineal bottle, and on two sides of the cucumber, run it down."

When cut into alices, each will be prettily, tinted and also scalloped. A powdering of egg yolk makes a second centre.

Cucumber,, of course, is the usual gernish for, salmon. But it can also go gay with tomatoes. Scoop out

Sthe insides of the tomatoes, and

the tomato cups with mayonnalar. A

touch of watercess makes a perfect finish.

Sketches by BENINGTON

IF any lady, as the conjurors say, can think of a new word meaning romantic, if any lady can think of a new word meaning glamour, would she kindly, as the conjurors say, step this way?

The fashion stage has need of her.

Nobody can recall a time when two words were so cruelly worked to the death. Yet can anybody think of words which so aptly describe the spirit of the new evening style?

and

So if glamour and romantic crop up now again in this piece, please bear with me. There is dainty; but, no, that is too revolting. Feminine? Not bad, but itself overworked, Victorian and Edwardian say quite a lot. I'll be using them,

I expect. How else would you describe the dress

Lots of women are discovering that their squarish shoulders are very show- able It used to be thought that off- shoulder dresses only looked good with the sloping shoulders that every woman seem- ed to be born with in Vletarian days. Now we see that a straight shoulder is the line tor an off-shoulder dress.

Practically every Parla and Londos designer has Been showing these naked- top dresses. If you want to see how they look in action, Belle Duvis wears one which is almost exactly in the current style in "Jezebel" at the Curllon Cinema, Only hers in dated 1992. So you see how fashions come and come again.

FOR those women who feel that in the top dresses are too naked there in the Italf-off-the-shoulder style, which I think

is even more fetching, is not so com- fortable in wear, because unless the piece that drops ges tightly across the chest and shoulders you feel the whole thing really drops.

Another version of the naked top you will see in the dress on the seated figure in the small trío (top left), This doesn't took so naked as the Arsi, because the ruched net, frou-from top comes up fairly high on the chest.

This dress, Edwardian, of course, in Inspiration, is made of white bagheera velvet, the finest silkiest velvet imaginable, and is no use to anyone whose shope isn't perfect, because it follows that shape as faithfully as night follows day.

The vivid pink ruched net at the slightly flouncing hemline gives exciting Ardalusian movement, and worn with long black gloves and a piece of not nonsense in the hair, It is definitely a belle-of-the-ball dress, and should make every other woman in the room hate you. All full-skirt dresses don't have to show shoulders. They can be modest as TE anything. For instance, the one on the seated figure in the big sketch.

THERE will always be women

who won't or can't wear full skirts, and for them there is the dress whose line is pencil slim, and whose effect is distinguished and elegant,

In lame, crepe, romaine, cut low front and back, with a little matching, Atted jacket, and the skirt so tight that it has to be slit some- ore, it is the best possible or restaurant outfit. Very full skirts are for big balls and parties. Theatre seats don't accommodate them too happily.

Straight lame or brocade frocks, with knee-length tunles, coming to a point at centro front and back, edged with baroque, rather orlen- tal trimming, are pushing their way into the foreground of the picture. For these you have to have height,

A passe, slim evening frock can look like new if it is velled in contrasting Jace.

Flowers can be massed in small or large bunches and tucked in ut the bosom, or trail anywhere on the skirt, with their stalks on. When you wear these, tell your beaux, No orchids, please.

Ribbon bows and loops and sashes; pallleted tulle thrown over the head, or worn round the shoulders: dowers appliqued at intervals

spreading skirts; froufrou tulle bows on cach shoulder; frills and fans: velvet wrist bands; fichus of old face and other fragrant and alluring womanly whims remind me that the evening mode is feminine and romantic and glamorous.... Oh, dear If any lady...
