Dominion Special Service. London, Sept. .14. Something startling happened recently. An actress was told to put on weight. It was Miss Ursula Jeans, who is to take the part of Fanny in the Fox film version of “Calvacade.” Hollywood told her that before she came out to report for work she was to add five more pounds to her weight. And that from Hollywood, the place that made famous the “Hollywood diet” of three deep breaths of air a day and where actresses go out to banquets and eat two large pieces of lettuce. Miss Jeans instantly threw away her diet charts which she has followed faithfully for two years. Then she went back to meals again, almost forcing herself to eat. The first thing she had was an ice cream sundae. Two years is a long time to wait for that. Tills stipulation in Miss Jeans’s contract is an indication of the back-to-normal-flgures tendency. Doctors and actresses have confirmed the news that dieting Is dying out and the slimming craze is almost over.

When I sell it the price will be high, for it will have to keep me the rest of my life.” (The original is valued at f 100.000.) When the last bit of “touching up” is done to this canvas, and it (sho hopes) is hung in some Art Gallery or Cathedral, this patient painter will move into the next room of the National Gallery. There she will copy a Reubens landscape. “Art is the only thing that makes life livable at all,” mused this woman who seems to have had her own way with life. “Art is the one philosophy of life that never fails. It teaches you to be sensible.” APPLE & ALMOND PUDDING Apple and almond pudding is simple to make, and the combination of flavours is delicious. Peel and core six large cooking apples. Place them in a dish with a little water, and fill in the centre of each with ground almonds, using about an ounce in all. Beat up an egg and mix with it half a cup of fine breadcrumbs, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, and one ounce of ground almonds. Pour this mixture over the top of the apples, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and decorate with blanched almonds. Cook in the oven until the apples are soft and golden brown.
