The reason she selects a basic suit as the most logical .“one-outfit-budget” selection is that it can be dressed up or down with accessories. You’ll find that the right suit, with correct accessories, is suitable for either day or date wear. You’ll have fun experimenting. Try white pique collar and cuffs for an attractive, neat business outfit. For a formal occasion let yourself go with the unusual scarf, the quaint pin or piece of jewellery. Use your ingenuity and you’ll find that a basic suit—even though it be bought off the rack—will become as individual as your own name. LARMERS’ ROAD W.I.

Each one is perfect when time is short and you want to give your home-made “special” a festive air. Neither recipe requires cooking. Here is Janet Leigh’s favourite : Warm one-half cup honey, then pour it in a thin stream over an egg white, beating continually with a rotary egg beater. Now add one-half teaspoon grated orange peel and pinch of salt and beat until the mixture is thick and fluffy. The actress spreads this icing on 'the cake and sprinkles the top with grated orange peel for decorative effect. Banana Frosting Elizabeth Taylor tells of a wonder ful easy cake-icing which takes only a minute to prepare. Simply crush a large ripe banana in a bowl and stir in. icing sugar until the mixture is smooth. Then acid a pinch of salt and beat until there are no lumps. The icing will spread evenly and looks and tastes as well as the most complicated recipe.
