with winter following fast on its
heels. At this time we get our
heavier clothes out Of moth balls,
buy supplies for the children's
school life, and settle down to re-
organized existence. We feel q
pickup" in energy when the
weather becomes cooler and like our
change Of pace.
It seems TO me that this is q
splendid time to look ourselves over
carefully and to outline a program
in lovelier and more vibrant living!
With this in mind I am giving q
few days this week to detailed
ANALYSIS of the care essential OF
greatest attractiveness.
First, let us consider the head
and neck. Imagine that you are
behind a screen and only your head
and neck show above 1t. What's
wrong with this part of the pic
ture you present? What can you
do to improve it?
l. Is your hair healthy looking?
Do you have a shampoo and a set
often enough to keep it attractive?
Do you indulge in daily brushing
and scalp massage? Is your hairdo
smart but becoming? Have you gone
"haywire" with new style and
sacrificed becomingness, or do you
20 to the other extreme of fixing
It in the same old-fashioned way?
In other words, is your hair neat,
smart, becoming and well kept?
2. Have you learned to use your
makeup cleverly? Do you. have
the best shade of powder and rouge
and lipstick or did you buy any
thing you saw at the nearest store?
Are your brows well groomed or do
you have struggling hairs and an
unneat line? Do you lubricate your
face regularly, if it is at all dry,
and do you apply an eye cream at
night If you are past 30?
3. Do you remove your makeup
at night and cleanse your face well
at least twice during every "a hours?
If you have blackheads or an ex-
tremely oily skin, are you using
corrective treatment faithfully?
4. What about your teeth? Dc
you brush them scientifically and
regularly. using a tooth powder or
paste and dental floss? Do you
visit your dentist to have them
cleaned every few months?
S. Is your chin line blurred and
your neck unattractive because OF
poor posture and lack Of care? II
so, better indulge In exercises for
improved posture and chin line cor
lrection, and begin those oily creams

world, western Canada raises cattle
for their meat and most Of their
cheese Is manufactured In the
provinces.
For dessert we had our choice of
several kinds Of cake; nut, sponge,
orange, chocolate with marshmal-
low icing, or fruit cake. Then, If
that wasn't enough, there were
cream puts, icebox cookies, fresh
fruit cup and . huge tray Of as
sorted cheeses. Most Of the cheese
Is Canadian made and includes
Swisska, Edam, Roquefort, Camem-
bert, Okla (made by the Trappist
monks ut Okla, Quebec, Canadian
Old, and our regular American
cheese.
During the week they featured an
interesting hors d'oeuvre tray at the
dinner hour. The various tidbits
were arranged on q cart which your
waitress wheeled to your table and
you could have as much or as little
as you liked. Every night there
seemed to be different assortment,
so if you didn't watch yourself, you
found you were sampling far toe
many of these choice viands ano
leaving no room for the main course
which followed. On the tray yol
might see okra in tomato sauce
beet salad, cabbage salad, pate dc
foie gras (Which they make them
selves of ground mushrooms, liver
onions and seaSonings), celery
hearts, smoked fillets Of picked her
ring, salami, sardines, tomatoes mari
mated in oil, vinegar and chopped
parsley, stuffed eggplant, picked
onions and eggs mayonnaise. You
can well imagine from that list how
one might experience q little diff
Guilty in exercising sufficient self
control.
One day when I was chatting
with Gustave, he told me an
amusing story about himself when
he first came to Canada in
1926. He had taken his ap-
premiership in Germany and
worked all over the European con-
tinent in many of the flne old hotels
in Munich, Baden-Baden and
Vienna. However, when he came
to Canada, he was obliged to start
out as an apprentice again. He
went to Calgary. and like so many
do in that section, took job In
the wheat fields at threshing time
In order to learn the English Ian
guage. One Of the things he had
to learn to do was harness horse.
The first night in trying to get the
horse out of the harness (or the
harness off the horse, he didn't
know which,, he finally wound up
by taking the harness apart, piece
by piece and buckle by buckle.
After doing this, he assorted the
pieces and laid them all neatly in
a row and left it. When the farmer
discovered what he had done, he
turned a vivid purple, choked few
times and then told Gustave to get
up at 4 o'clock the next morning
and reassemble it. From then on,
Gustave said he learned how to
harness a0d unharness 8 horse IN
the approved fashion.

Pood Editor.

North, East, South or West,
wherever you 60 these days, buffet
suppers seem to be gaining In popu-
Ilarity. People like the informality
that goes with this type OF meal,
they can pick and choose what they
want and then there's the added
advantage of no one being able to
check on how much food you eat.
This summer, while I was vaca-
tioning at resort in the Laurentian
Mountains, In the Province Of Que
bee, the Sunday night buffet was
one Of the high lights OF the week.
The lavish spread was not all con-
ducive to keeping the waistline
within its normal boundary. and the
temptation to 60 back for seconds"
was stronger than most Of us could
resist.
For our first course we had q
choice of tomato juice or jellied
consomme, which was served at our
individual tables, then we went over
to the buffet to make the rest of our
selections. It was something OF q
problem, too, because, like the little
boy whose eyes were always too big
for his stomach, I was faced with
the same situation.
All the food looked so good it was
difficult to refuse anything, and
when they had something unusual,
of course, I had to sample that, too.
You thought you were having q
small serving of this and a mere
silver of that, but it all added up to
a tremendous plateful Of food. The
chef, Joseph Maillol, made a point
of providing enough variety so that
every one would be happy ;. as you
will see.
Among the assortment of meat
dishes we had jellied tongue, cold
turkey, baked hams, corned beef,
roast veal, roast loin Of pork, roast
leg of lamb, and Drawn. Brawn Is
an English meat loaf made Of
corned beef, veal and pork. The
three meats are cooked together
then cooled; the liquid from the
veal shank contains enough gelatin
so when the meat is finely chopped
and put into q form it will mold
nicely and slice easily. For salads
we had potato salad, huge wooden
bowl of shredded lettuce and
another of picked beets. in
quired of the maitre d'hotel why
they didn't use more Of variety
of green's in their salads and he
told me it was because they weren't
grown in Canada and Canada i'm
ports very little of her food sup
plies. Outside Of citrus fruits and
perhaps a few bananas all the food
is grown in the provinces 1t is a
little far north to raise many OF
the salad greens we enjoy here in
the States such as endive, chicory,
escarole and romaine. Gustave, the
maitre d., told me their lettuce and
onions came from British Colum-
bia; the fruits from the Niagara
peninsula; celery and tomatoes from
ontario. The Great Lakes and the
rivers provide them with some of
the finest and best fish in the

Christmas. After the bloom, it prac-

leaves remained. I repotted 1t and
carefully watered tt-today I have
almost shrub. 1t has branched
out sideways and is profuse in lovely
healthy green leaves. However, to-
night I notice one leaf is turning
yellow. Shall put it in a larger pot
with more earth and is there any
possibility of taking off one or two
slips" for smaller potting? Will it
bloom again? Would moving it
cause it to die? Your advice would
be most helpful.
Rose Petals-During the summer
have saved and dried all my rose
petals and have large tray of
pretty colored slightly scented dried
petals. My mother used to speak
of "potpourri" of rose leaves but I
have forgotten what was added to
the dried petals to make this. Could
any one let me know?
