Add the juice of a lemon to eigiit ounces of eUlerflower water. Sponge with this when you go to bed, and leave it on all night. If you do this for a lew nights you will bo delighted with the result. But don’t begin the treatment until you have passed the peeling and sore stage, remember. i MEG EVAL IN NAME ONLY I The still ro an, where the great la- ! dies of tile past held sway over their households, is being revived by well known women. Several interesting hoi,tosses -,t Home-, we are told, are now rebelling at tiie modern system by which they are kept out of their own kitchens and expected to take no .interest in c Joking, however great their own ai>- ] titude may he. Their solution lias been to equip model .fill room* for themselves. There is nothing medieval about those room, except the name and many of the reeoipes tried out in them. The equipment is essentially twentieth century. FASHION A BLE FAILLE I*ARM V VIOLET AND YELLOW The very heavy taffeta, called fa.illo, which one usually ooniiiders a summer material, is very fashionable this winter at Home, for evening (Irenes writes an authority. One of tile prettiest young girl’s dance frocks 1 have seen for some time i.s made of yellow faille istriped with grey and black. It lias a little tight bodice, very full skirt, rather a high-waisted lino, and a great but-terfly-bow of the material. Another lovely faille evening gown is made in the parnia violet shade, | with a. skirt of long petal-like panel’ j that provide a scalloped liem line. , These two colours- -parm a violet and I yellow are extremely fashionable ~usl now. There are any number of smart dav dresses made of. violet, cloth or fancy woollen materials, and a shop that is well known for its sport 3 clothes lias a window filled with yellow goods. SEASONABLE BFCIPES Tomato Scallops : Tomato scallops are unusual and appealing. Take some largo sound, tomatoes and cut in halves. Scoop out a. little of the centres and strain off tile juice and L.eeus. Mash the remainder up with two wcCI beaten raw eggs, to which a little pepper, salt and sugar have been added for flavouring. Replace the mixture in the, halved tomato cups and strew ever with. breadcnmili, and grated cheese. Smear tiie tops with butter and gently cook in a baking disli or casserole until done. Butter or grease the bottom of the dish to prevent burning. Tomato Piquante; Peel and quarter some tomatoes, and chop up roughly with a few gherkins, vinegar, pickles and chopped celery. Pepper and salt to taste, and drain olf any surplus liquor. Havediamond pieces of buttered toast ready, and place a thick smearing of mixture on lop of each. Serve with cold meats or tinned fish. A NEW YORK CRAZE In New York the latest craze among smart women is a little cloth cravat cravat tied olocely around the throat to match the liat.

These cravats may b*; of line twee! or kraslia cloth, and arc mostly blanket stitched all round m & #oars<* contrasting wool, the end s being adorned with “oat’s-tceth” cross in tiie sain*. wool.

There is a gritty feeling and in tense smarting, and pain i$ likely to follow if til coo-ndition is left untreated. 1 rritatiotfi of the /rims is common. Conjunctivitis tends to get well on its own, hut treatment may cut short an attack and sav e unnecessary suffering. The best solution to us© is boraoio lotion. Dissolve in warm water a* much boracie powder as it will take and leave to cool. Bathe the e}'© 3 1 roquently. Tliere is no neoessatj r to cover them up, but do not read and avoid exposure. DISCOVERY OF A METHOD TO KEEP EXT Miss .Margaret Bannerman lias » discovered a method -'of keeping lit and slim which almost obviates any need to diet. She carries a skipping rope about with lier and she lia<s even been known u> beguile a, solitary .journey from the country by skipping in the railway carriage. Every morning when she gets up she puts on a thick sweater and .ships for five minutes j during tfie da* she takes at least an - other equally long spell. Ten minutes a day is her minimum. But she advises beginners to start with two minutes only and gradually increase. Just Indore a bath is the ideal time to skip. BLACK AND PINK PEARLS The most striking of the new necklaces l have seen, writes a London correspondent, is composed of several strands of black and pink pearls. It i> designed to go with y. dark afternoon gown. There are many necklaces of smalt pearls in several strands, three, lour five and often more, graduated of course, and with oilo ■strand a little longer than the one before it. It is considered smart now to hav the clasp of a necklace at the loft side of the- neck instead of at the back. Often a- correspondincr ornament balances the right side of the neck as wcfll. Usually they arc in rhinestones —sometimes alone, some timer? combined with rod stones. The most amusing clasp 1 have seen is a. big hook and eye in. rhinestones? As you may imagine, .it had an original charm all of its own. ORANGE AND LEMON FILLING One orange or more, a lemon, gratv I rind juice into saucepan with one cupful of water, a cupful of sugar.
