She advocated the inclusion of small tins of mustard in parcels for soldiers abroad as. she said, she had learnt that the men liked to mix mustard with jam to make chutney. Spring Thoughts.

With plum and wattle bursting into bloom our thoughts are definitely turned to spring arid a visit to Slater’s, the Square, will make them even more definite. Go there and you will immediately decide that you simply must have one of their entrancing new spring suits or coats with a felt hat to tone. Sizes are from petite upwards.* After the Dishes.

The hands’ greatest enemy is wash-ing-up water. The hot soapincss will soon make the skin rough and red. This can be prevented by rubbing olive oil well into the skin before washingup. and then on the completion of the task massage the hands with a little honey and almond lotion. At night, after you have treated your face, massage a little cold cream well into the fingers and the backs' of your hands.

All-Purpose Wear. Have you ever noticed the way a plain little frock can he stepped up with the addition of a fur cape?

Some people believe that tea taken just before going to bed keeps one from sleep. It seems that the Scots have never heard of this. Wherever you go in Scotland tea is the last drink at night, and Queen Elizabeth has imported the custom to Buckingham Palace, where tea is always served to the Royal party before they retire. Exceptionally Low Price. Can you think of anything more amazing in these days of rising prices than the announcement that the Scotch Wool and Hosiery Shop, the. Square, has stocks of the well-known lustre bloomers priced at only 2s lid a pair ? There’s bound to be a rush for these! Tho Scotch Wool Shop has other wellknown makes priced from 4s lid to Ss lid. Social Service Register. Americans are accustomed to doing things in a big way, but even so it is scarcely likely that, when private charity agencies in New York decided about 50 years ago to establish a central case index to avoid overlapping in social welfare work, they foresaw the possibility that there would come a time when that index would include two and a-quarter million names, as it does now.
