Two Soups for These Colder Days

With the colder weather soups, oi course, play an important pirt in your menu. Here are two excellent recipes. The first one takes only - half an hour so you may find it useful.

Quick Vegetable Soup Peel a carrot, a small turnip, three potatoes and an onion and grate them on a coarse grater. Take a pint of stock, meat or vegetable, or even water, add salt and pepper and the vegetables, stir and bring to the boil. Simmer for half an hour, stirring occasionally. A little colouring may be added, if desired, just before serving and a teaspoonful of margarine or butter. Why not a little celery salt as well? Split-pea Soup

Put into a saucepan a cupful of soaked split peas, two onions, two carrots, two snfldl turnips, cut into pieces, a bacon b k, if you can get one, two cloves and a bit of celery or some celery salt. Season with a little pepper and pour in a quart and a-half of hot water. Boil for three or four hours and then rub through a sieve. By. far the best accompaniments to this in my opinion are fried bread croutons and lined, sliced pieces of thick cooked salt bacon.

Hollywood Stars’ Hair Frequently Changes Shade

“All that glitters is not gold ” might well apply to the tresses of many « Hollywood actresses. Rita Hayworth, for one, had coalblack hair before it was tinted led, then strawberry blonde. Like Linda Darnell who plays “Amber” in “Forever Amber.” Rita,’s hair will not take a dye. Rita had to have her redgold hair touched up every, three days while Linda, who was bleached to blonde for the Amber role needed almost daily touch-ups for the shooting of the picture. Olga San Juan is another star who has to have hair colour changes to suit her various roles. She made her debut with black hair, wore red for * l Blue Skies ” and be seen as a golden blonde for “Vanity Girl.” “ Life with Father,” necessitated red hair for Irene Dunne and William Powell and technicolor requires that Cornel Wilde’s slaterblack hair be touched-up to give life to it. But if their work demands dye jobs for many stars sheer' whim accounts for even more changes. Lana Turner wants something new about four times a year but usually decides upon a mere shade variation in . yellow. Deanna Durbin switched from gold to golden brown. Joan Caulfield from blonde to blonder, and Vivian Blane from her natural colour to red, to blonde. Another notable example is that of Sir Laurence Olivier, who has become a glamorous blonde overnight for the title-role in “ Hamlet.”
