I entled on a

friend the other evening about half-pust nine, feeling rather guilty, because I knew she was working very hard during the day just then and would probe- bly not welcome a visitor at that hour of the evening.

Much to my surprise, however, I received a most refreshing welcome. found my hostess arrayed in a most becoming house coat and shoes to match, with hair immaculate und make-up charmingly fresh and per- fumed. She explained, 45 she ushered me into her sitting-room. that she had been lounging on her couch, drinking coffee and ronding,

"I thought I'd find you tired out or just going to bed, instead of which you look as fresh as if you were about to start the day," I told her.

"I was red' when I came in," she admitted, "but if I had Bopped right down here at once, I should have been finished and you would have found me looking haggard and drawn, bad-tempered,

peevish and positively dewdy. I've had a long, trying day but when I came in I changed my office clothes for my bright house coat, buther, and put fresh make-up on."

It is often said that a woman guins her poise and confidence in knowing that she is looking her best. It is not easy to retain control over physi cal and mental inssitude when a feeling exists that one's nase wants powdering, and one's hair is not as tidy as it should be,

For the family breakfast and sup- per table your foral decorations should be simple. Even the after- noon tea table only requires one modest vase or bowl of flowers in season to give the right note.

Add a pinch of salt and sugar to milk that is slightly burnt, while still hot, and the unpleasant taste will not be noticed. To make gruel and also milk more

digestible, add pinch of salt before serving,

Custard will be greatly improved with the addition of h little salt to the milk while being made, and just a pinch gives a mellow taste to tea, a more piquant taste to coffee, and makes cocoa appear richer.

Potatoes boiled In their jackets can be given the delicious flavour of baked ones by first adding half a cupful of salt to one quart of wa- ter. Then boil them in this for ich minutes before placing in the oven, where they will bake rapidly and require less heat.

When slicing a large ham, rub the cut side and bone with salt to keep It wholesome.

Add a pinch of salt to the whito of an cig and it will beat to a stiff froth more quickly.
