GONG SOUPS 
AT THE FRONT. 
GONG SOUPS are satisfying 
and sustaining— as rich as 
home-made soups and much 
easier to prepare. A few 
tablets are always welcomed 
in the parcel from home: they 
form a delicious warming 
meal. 
On the distant fronts where 
vegetables are difficult to 
obtain, they are specially 
acceptable. 
Extracts from two interesting letters received 
from France : — 
" Many thanks for 
the parcel of GONG 
SOUPS ; they are one of 
the most welcome things 
that can be sent out, and 
are appreciated by all. 
A few should be enclosed 
in every parcel : they are 
so handy, easily made, 
and a welcome addition 
to any rations." 
Twelve Different Varieties: 
Scotch Broth Ox Tail 
Mock Turtle Thick Gravy 
Pea Celery Cream 
Mulligatawny Green Pea 
Lentil Hare 
"T he GONG 
SOUPS you sent are 
excellent, especially in 
wintry weather, and I 
hope you will not by 
any mischance forget to 
put a few of them in 
each time."

Reversible 
Caps 
Nothing so clever in the way of practical 
headgear may be found as some rever- 
sible caps. Besides their practicability, 
they are becoming into the bargain, two results that do not 
;Uways combine. Women war-workers are finding these caps 
particularly well* suited to their needs. 
For one thing they are weather-proof, so that they can 
equally well be worn in wet or fine weather. With a cap like this 
and a raincoat, an umbrella is a superfluity in the worst of 
weather. Then they are reversible, so that it is practically 
two caps in one. One side is velvet, the other silk, and no 
matter wliicli is worn outward the look of finish is the same. 
As a strict matter of fact, most women prefer the velvet outside 
and the silk as a lining, but tliis is a mere matter of taste 
and a question for personal decision. 
In black velvet with the silk either in I lick or in some charm- 
ing contrast of colour they make an instant appeal. Fitting 
closely to the head though they do, immovabiUty in a wind 
is made a still more assured matter by a narrow band of ribbon 
which, passing round the crown, can tie the whole thing so to 
speak on the head. For motoring they are without equal. 
The brim is a soft pliable affair and can be Ijent this way or 
that to best suit the wearer. Indeed, from beginning to end, 
these caps are what the Americans call " a proposition," 
are therefore particularly worthy of our regard. 
A New Storm 
Coat 
For sheer sensible design a new storm- 
coat stands on a pinnacle alone. It is 
made with a special wind shield, this 
being a piece of material in front of the coat going underneath 
in reverse way to the side it buttons. Hence an unusually 
protective garment, and an advance in comfort on the 
customary type of storm-coat. With this wind-screen no rain 
or wind can possibly penetrate. 
Now that women are doing such arduous things and being 
out in all winds and weathers, a coat such as this is nothing 
more nor less than a boon, to be duly acclaimed and appreciated 
as such. It is made by a famous maker with years of reputa- 
tion to his credit, and is in every way a coat that can be 
thoroughly recommended from A. to Z. — material, cut and 
every detail being up to the most exacting requiremejits. 
Numbers of folk nowadays mainlv travel 
An Alarum Travelling ^Q j-^^p important appointments; and to 
"^ all such what could belter appeal than 
a luminous travelling clock, adding an alarum to all its 
other virtues. These clocks are really capital affairs, waking 
one up as they do at any given moment, besides enabling the 
time to be seen perfectly easily in the darkest night. 
For V.A.D. and other war workers a clock like this is an 
inestimable boon, and indeed for the private individual with 
humble but nevertheless important duties at home, its points 
are not to be despised. It is an eight-day clock, and its 
case is in many different colourings. 
The same people also are selling all kinds of less ambitious 
travelling clocks — a luminous eight-day clock in different 
coloured Morocco cases being but £2 los. The main differ- 
ence, indeed, between the two is that the 'after one does not 
boast an alarum and is cheaper in consequence. 
An excellent little travelling clock also of less super-type — 
being non-luminous and without an alarum, costs but thirty 
shillings. This is a one-day clock, and while not pretending 
any particular distinction can nevertheless claim absolute 
reliability, for it is guaranteed, and of lever movement. 
Madame Carlotta Destino's Spanish Toilet Preparations are far too 
valuable a matter for a light dismissal, being absolutely uniiiue. For 
one thing, they are her own private recipes, having been used by 
.Madame Carlotta and her friends for a long time. 
One special point about them is that they are so deliglitfullv cleansing 
as well as being fragrant and pure. La Camtlia Skin Food cleanses the 
skin much more effectually than soap does, and as evervone knows, a 
clean skin is far towards becoming a good one. I'sed during the d,iy it 
protects it from wind and weather, at night it soothes and foods it — it 
being as important to feed the skin as the body. It costs 2S. 6d. 
and 4s. gd. La Camelia powder is perfect to use, and so is the Day 
Cream, this giving the softend fresh look everv woman should possess. 
The first costs 2S. 3d., and 3s. od.. the last 2s. 6d'. and .js. gd.. and all can 
be found in that most fascinating spot Swan and Edgars' scent and pow- 
der department, which is at Pi.cad Uy Circus.
