XTHAT are the best sur- roundings for meal- times? We want an en- vironment where our digestion is stimulated and bur 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 sauce, whereas a dull, prosý monologue is like a heavy coating of white sauce which hides all beneath with its tasteless surface...

Just as soup stimulates the digestive juices so an amusing story gets the party going and creates an easy atmosphere. Light, amusing talk will help on the real busi- ness of enjoy- ing a good din- nor and of digesting it easily.

GAY GIRL WEAR?

By Mary Grace

FAYBE 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 giri 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 Fontings 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.

TRIVIAL repairs, such as sewing
