SUMMER lasts eleven months of the year in Hollywood. This makes the local citizenry pretty expert in choosing and wearing slacks and play- suits.

You're certain to be smart if you go,in for Hollywood ideas when getting together

your holiday things.

Not that Hollywood stacks are averybody's cup of tea. They cut them now in thin materials, and fit them snugly over the chassis. So unless you're pretty trimly built around the "going- away-view" parts, stay out of long pants.

If in doubt take along your most candid "best friend when you try some on.

Ture Hollywood girls have gone off mannish lines its year. Trousers are cut to fall full and straight from behind the hips. Jackets nre neatly waisted, with houlders and short sleeves cut on feminine Unes. They are subtly figure-emphasising. For # change they sometimes put Jumper instead of the jacket.

Salad Sense

Don't leave ratad stuffs to soak in water as this makes them Hmp and soggy. Water should be used to wash and freshen them, but never to soak them.

Add a few drops of vinegar to the water instead of salt when-washing greens. Vinegar is more efficient in destroying those in insects and gruba which lurk among the leaves,

Use a wire basket to wash salads in. Swiss the leaves in the water until clean and shake of the surplus water or dry with a soft cloth.

Store greens in a lidded boz in a refrigerator or rolled up in auen towel. When you have to keep watercress for any length of time, stand in a jam jar with the stalks, not the leaves, in cold water.

Remember to remove the un- earable parts before washing greens. The wet remains wil not then make such a mess of the sink and parbage pail. PHPT||||||||

Choosing Exchange At Material

COME prople seem to be born with the gift of buying material. No matter how casually they choose, or how little they pay, they always seein to make a successful choice,

For the majority of women, how- aver, a few tips on how to choose material wilt be useful, and should be borne in mind the next time you go shopping.

When choosing cottons, ginghams

or volles, see that the pattern goes right through, that is, the colours should be as bright on the wrong alde as on the right side. This is usually a good Indication or fast

colours.

Never forget to ask the width, the standard being 30 ins. Often, in the cast of cheaper material, this will be only. 27 ins, or 29 ins., so that any saving is offact

by the greater yardage to be purchased, Remember, too, that a garment cuts much better out of a wide material, and that although a 54 Ins, light weight woollen material will be more expensive, it will go further than one which is only 36 ins. wide. Testing Linen

When buying linen test it for weight, by draping a plece over one arm. A heavy weight will not crease eaally, and will hang far bet ter. Irish linen can be judged usual ly by its somewhat coarse (when of dress weight), and is par- weave ticularly suitable for suits and sum- mer coals. Choose a closer weave linen for frocks where plents are to be introduced.

Japanese Propaganda?

London, July 22.* News from exclusively Japanese sources that an agreement has been reached between Sir Robert Craigle and Mr. Arita was accompanied by tendentious Japanese comment, says the diplomatic correspondent of the Observer.

This comment suggested, and dļd not state, that an agreement was reached upon Japan's tänas and that the result will be disappointing to China. Although no message has been received from Sir Robert Craigle, it goes without saying that an agreement can have been reached only in conformity with instructions which Sir Robert has been negotiating.

The correspondent recalls that only last Monday Mr. Chamberlain, in the Touse of Commons, suld that Britain would not and could not raverse her policy at the demand of another Power.

The correspondent declares that it In regarded in London as important that opinion in Chungking should not be misled by the Japanese re- port, designed preckely for such a purpose.

The Japanese verslon must be regarded partly as the normal mani- festation of the modern diplomatic method familiar both in the practice of Berlin and Tokyo, whereby pro- pagandist objects are regarded as of grent importance and accuracy of fact as of slight importance, and
