THAT are the best sur- roundings for meal- times? We want an en- vironment where our digestion is stimulated and our senses soothed.

The art of eating as apart from merely swallowing food varies in different countries, but talk at the table is always welcomed, whatever the lan- guage.

Talk, if it is pleasant or stimulating, is a piquant sauCO, whereas a dull, prosy monologue is like a heavy coating of white sauce which hides all beneath with its tasteless surfaco.

Just as soup atimulates. the digestive juices so an amusing story gets the party going and creates an сану atmosphere. Light, amusing talk will help on the real busi- ness of enjoy- ing a good din- and of

What should a

GAY GIRL WEAR?

By Mary Grace

AYBE it's the cheery lilt of the Lambeth Walk or

the serious time we have been through that has made everybody feel that at any rate they are going to be gay--and, to my mind, there is no better help towards gaiety for any girl than a pretty frock.

That is why I have had a look round for afternoon pretties--one for the daughter and one for the young married.

Let's describe the colourings. You see how they are made from the illustrations which were accurately sketched at Pontings from the actual garments.

First the Dirndl frock. It's called that because

it has the special wide gauged waist. But the secret

of this one is that it is gauged with Lastex so that it

will stretch and adjust itself to any figure.

onions were fried, and a tablespoon of water. Pour this over the mix- ture, and bake in a moderate hot oven 20 minutes.

Flake up the contents of a tin of salmon. Mix in with It 2 oz. bread- crumbs, grated rind of 14 lemon, 1 trarnoon minced onion, 2 eggs well beaten, 1 gill milk, and seasonings of pepper and salt,

Pour all into a greased bread Un. Bake in a moderate oven. 29-30 minutes. Turn out, and garnish with alices of lemon. Pour pint white sauce round.

Try using finned salmon with mushed potatoes for a Asli ple; or combine it with rice (cooked) for kedgerce. You will find the result is much tastier than using ordinary white fish.
