Savouries For Winter Parties

CAVOURIES are always in great demand for supper parties, and here are some useful varieties.

Some people seem to think that minute sausages are the only food which can be served on a cherry stick, but have you tried amalt cubes of cheese with a few capers, or ripe olives?

.

If you must Introduce sausages, slice them, give them a smear of French mustard, and place them on the cherry stick alternately with slices of gherkin.

Button mushrooms (which come out of a bottle) are appetising, if with pellets of they are separated faked white Ash bound with whip- ped cream.

A Way With Chicken Liver

Poultry is usually included in the menu at this time of year, so here is a good way of dealing with chic- ken liver.

and then rub it Cook the liver through a sieve. Heat with a beaten egg yolk, a little cream, lemori julco, and seasoning to taste. Do not allow to boil. When you have hollowed dut several small cubes of bread, fry in butter, and fill with the prepared liver. Serve as hot as possible; a few sprigs of parsley added to the dish make it look most appetising.

Beef rolls are tasly. To make these, halve come French rolls, and after scooping out the centres, fry a golden brown. Take some under- done roast beef, chop this, mix it

"IT'S no use pretending,” a

reader writes, "but I'm frankly outsize. I've got nice hair and a good complexion. Now can you help me with a winter outfit that will slim me down a bit and yet be comfortable?"

"Of course I can," I replied. "It is the problem of half the women in the world after they have reached their fortieth birthday. What you want is a nice well cut coat in a deep colour-not neces- sarily black, but specially design- ed to give you hofght and to bring your figure into a good balanced line.

A soft collar or fur also helps the shoulders and upper part."

You see by the sketches what I recommend. The coat is made in good quality fancy velour cloth with A straight looking back and a good wrap-over in front,

It is lined, throughout with artificial silk and the sleeves have nice shaping at the cuff. Dark Brown Fur

The collar of shunk opossum (you know the fur, it is very like shunk-a nice dark brown shade) can be worn open or wrapped over close to the throat to form a becoming frame for the face. Very cosy and fashion- able as well.

The colours are nigger, navy, bottle, wine and black. Wine is very fashionable this year. It suits

grey and dark-haired women excellently. Brown, and green suit fair and dark women, but are a little cold with grey hair. I find navy and black are becoming to all.

To wear under this coat I select a frock also in a soft all-wool material. which has a good deal of clover simping to give freedom and a long unbroken line.

There is some shirring on the shoulders which gives emple room over the vest, and inverted pleut down the whole length of the front, The bodice is but with

Colour Choice

A back tie indicates the waistline, and the colours can be wine, brown, green, navy, rust and black,

Sparkling Eyes

TAYES need extra care at this sen-

son of biting winds, and smoky almospheres, but it is not difficult to. keep them sparkling if you go about it in the right way-and what wo- mon needs to be told that her eyes are the most important featurs of aer face?

First of all, resolva never to over- strain your eyes. That really is im- portant. It is always surprising that such a large number of people read in vibrating buses and trams one of the surest ways of acquiring eye- strain. And as that, in addition to its obvious discomfort, means crow's feet and frown ines, It really never is worth while.

Close needlework is another men- ace to the sight, while those who spend all day over figures or at a typewriter don't need to be reminded how their eyes feel at the end of it. Rest your eyes after any closo

work. You tan do this by lying for a. while with your eyes closed and an eye-lotion compress over them. or you can focus them for a while on long-distance objects. This focuss- ing on distant objects strengthens the muscles and takes your vision from short to long range, for which, by the way, it was first intended,

H you are in a hurry to go out in the evening, you may feel inclined to lust make up your eyes and leave it at that-however tired they may be. But you always suffer for it. Half-way through the evening you are blinking painfully, and your eyes get that red-rimmed look which quickly polls your whole appear-

ance.

Be strong-minded and give your- self ten minutes for eye-treatment; even if it makes you a bit late for an appointment, it is well worth it.
