MERINGUES

SILHOUETTES may be simple and details discreet in your clothes this winter, but at least you need not hesitate to let yourself go with your hat.

Leaving aside for the moment the velvets and veils, look at what you can pick in the way of furs and feathers. There has always been a nice line in astrakhan cossack caps appearing in one or other of the designers' collections, but this season cossack, caps are only the start of it. You hardly notice them among the flocks of mink or beaver pill boxes, silver for halos, and beaver glengarrics.

AND they are real face-flatterers, these fur hats: nothing is more becoming to the skin. So if you can spare the tail of your silver fox or cut the cuffs off your beaver coat, mount} them on velvet or felt and clap them on your head right away.

1, 2, and 3.of the hats you see here are in fur. 1, a plumy 'length of silver fox circling your face like a halo, built on to a

thick chenille net which holds your hair at the back.

2-A glengarry in close-clipped beaver, worn tilted forwardį and high, with black ribbon streamers down the back and a crim- son cockade perched on top.

3-A dashing, Dietrich sort of hat; a round pill box of mink, held on by a velvet band at the back and trimmed with an emerald green quill.

The Quality

SUNRIPE CIGARETTES

AFTERNOON parties and informal dances are in full swing, and it you provide meringues for one of the "sweets" at these functions your popularity will increase by leaps and bounds. The meringues are quite simple to make at home It grest care I taken with the baking. Allow four whites of eggs to half a pound of caster sugar. Add a pinch of salt to the whites and whisk to a very stiff froth, then whisk in Ute sloved sugar gradually and continue beating until the mixture is very stiff.

Shope the meringues with a wet dessertspoon or tablespoon according to the size required. Take a spoon- ful at a time and smooth it over to form an oval shape, then slip it gently on to a thick baking tray lined with slightly oiled paper......... Take care not to place the shapes too close together. When they ara all ready sprinkle with caster sugar and bake in a cool oven for about two to two and a half hours.

The meringues should be a creamy colour when done. When Arm, carefully remove the meringues from the tin, turn them over gently and press in any soft parts to allow the centres to dry thoroughly.

Leave them in a warm place over- night if possible. When required for use sandwich them together in pairs with stimy whipped cream, flavoured and sweetened to taste.

Fresh or tinned fruit cut into small pieces and adried to the cream makes an interesting change.

The meringue mixture сал her flavoured with coffee, lemon rind, orange rind, essences, 2,, which should be added to the sugar before mixing with the whites of the eggs.

When eggs are dear, a tablespoon- ful of powdered gelatine dissolved in two tablespoonfuls of hot water can be used instead of the white of an SAK. Don't use till it is quite cold.
