portant to us, and cut and prepared within an hour, thus keeping their original freshness. The Director, Claire Loewenfeld, will be well known to you as a member of the Vegan Society, and a writer for the journal. She has a most interesting leaflet and price list. These herbs are specially prepared in different bouquets for various dishes, and also sold separately. Some of the attractive names are The Bride's Herb Chest, Dinner Party, The Soup Chest, Herb Bouquet For Everyday. Some are made for vegans. Prices of the chests vary from 14/6d. upwards, and single herbs by weight, 3/6d. to 4/9d. for \ oz. to 1 oz. A special mixture is made for Herb Butter. Millet Meal and Sunflower Seed Meal The former is excellent but although I sifted the latter five times I still find it too spiky for my liking. I have used them only as a sort of " jumbles" biscuit made with Barbados sugar and Tomor, but will make more experiments. If members are finding successful recipes please let us know, so that these products will continue to be stocked by shops. Sunmaid Raisins These are the only dried fruits which I know are dried in the sun, and not by poisonous chemicals. Please support them! If you know of any other fruits dried in the sun please let me know. Carob Flour Can this be obtained in England? I was given the name of a firm but they were unable to supply. It is a fine substitute for cocoa and chocolate and far better for health. It is on sale in U.S.A. Currant Sugar This appears to have disappeared completely. Almond and Soya Milk The former is made in Spain in tins, and the latter in the States. If any overseas members could send me small gifts of any of these, I will gladly send something in exchange. Charles Perry's Pure Cosmetics I expect most of you have sampled Mr. Perry's cosmetics now, and have found them delightful to use and delicious to smell. He is a personal friend of mine, of several years, and recently visited me, as he is bringing out a magazine, " New Beauty ", in March. The subscription is 5/- a year, for four issues, including postage. I would like to remind you of the poisons used in cosmetics and toilet articles and to study Mr. Perry's articles carefully, as men as well as women can be affected ; that is why Mr. Perry is making products for men, too. 19
