times? We want an vironment where our digestion is stimulated and our senses soothed.

The art of cating 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 sauce, whercas a dull, prosy monologue is like a heavy coating of white sauce which hides all beneath with its tasteless surface.

Just as soup stimulates the digestive julces so an amusing atory gets the party going and creates an engy atmosphere. Light, amusing talk will help on the real busi- ness of enjoy- ing a good din- and of

GAY GIRL WEAR?

M

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 galety for any girl than a pretty frock.

That is why I have had a look round for afternoon prelties 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.

A lovely slimmer and so graceful with its gathered skirt in plain rayon marocain with a gay, printed crepe bodice to tone. You see the fashionable puffed sleeve.
