not very often that a fashion that was popular years ago tries to stage a come-back fails miserably in the attempt and in the end dies out Yet this is precisely MAINLY FOR WOMEN what has happened to the new-old hat fashion the forward-tilting hat which we were told by the experts some time ago was destined for a big return to popularity There is food for thought BRAKES OFF ON BUILDING npo the thousands of people in this country whose dearest wish is to have a home of their own the announcement made by Mr Harold MacMillan Minister of Housing last night will be a message of real hope At last there is to be a real drive to build the homes so desperately needed by so many The Minister made it clear that the brakes are off and it is full speed ahead with the only limitation that imposed by the supply of labour and materials We must learn to build more houses from the same quantity of said the Minister With ingenuity and efficiency that is not impossible As for speed the new slogan for every local authority is Artists vrtto took part in the sketch Olds Village presented in the Burton-on-8tather Parish Hall last night by members of the Crowle Women Own Proeeeds from the evening

Pkinson-monf you will get to u'g acclaimed fashion there has been for years was the advent about six years ago of the off-the-face head-hugging hat a style that ha never lost its popularity YOUNGER LOOKING Many Scunthorpe women tell me and I think this is the chief reason that they look younger in an off-the-face hat Another reason is that the style is infinitely easier to wear than one with a face shading brim and hats stay on much easier on windy days New Spring hats coming into Scunthorpe shops seem all to be of the tiny head-hugging off-the-face style Many of them have no brim at all but are merely little caps and berets PASTELS POPULAR Pastel colours are going to be populai pinks and blues and a pretty new soft shade of mustard Navy and white together and lots of all-white hats are popular too Little Petersham caps covered in soft pastel-coloured feathers are among the Spring collection and there is a good number of casual sports hats Even straw hats coming into the shops and destined for summer wear are all off-the-faee It looks as though the -forward-tilting hat is one fashion of yester-years that women just do not want of the National Bridge Pairs Championship when

You will need two ozs butter four tablespoons plain flour four tablespoons sugar two teaspoons baking powder and two eggs Cream the butter and sugar together fold in the flour add the eggs and lastly the baking powder Divide the mixture and bake in two tins in a moderate oven for 10 to 15 minutes Turn out on to a sugared piece of greaseproof paper and put the two cakes together with jam or mock cream in the centre To this mixture may be added two teaspoons of coffee or two teaspoons cocoa for Guild holds a whist'coffee or chocolate cake If day returns Heavy chunky looking jewellery the more

and more Victorian every day The latest girdle closely modelled on Victorian lines is called the waist cincher and it really does cinch in the waist by the means of bones and tight lacing to produce the Victorian figure silhouette needed for the new tiny waisted frocks in the shops The small waist is going to be a distinct feature of the season's gowns Whist aids Guild funds NIGHTDRESSES 911
