Please Come in Fancy Dress
HIS is the season of the
THIS
year when we all go mad and try to pretend we are someone other than our everyday, humdrum selves. Invitations to parties and dances end with a posteript "Please come in fancy dress.
The big fancy dress function of the year will-be the Austra- lian and New Zealand Associa- tion Ball, which will be held at the Peninsula Hotel on April 1.

fish
is a little difficult sometimes to know how to be original over the fish course-either in the way of serving fish or to find something "different."
Scallops are good just now and while in season it is worth serving this delicate and tasty shell fish occasionally.
They should be cooked for no longer than five minutes in milk and water. Make a thick cheese-favoured sauce with the quor in which they were bolled; add the fish broken in pieces, return to the deep shell, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, put a small piece of butter on top, and brown in the oven.
FISH curry made with cod is improved with a few pickled walnuts and some shredded pincapple added to the ingredients. Serve
with lemon.

A SIMPLE but delicious way to treat cold fish is to flake it, and mix it with white sauce. Stir in the yolk of an egg, season well, and finally fold in the stiffly-beaten egg white.
Divido the mixture into small individual fire-proof dishes or scallop shells, and bake in the oven till slightly browned.

Does YOUR BABY Cry?
Your baby does not cry for fun. It is his only way of telling you that something is wrong. Colic, indiges. tion, sour stomach, diarrhea and constipation are a few of the minor ailments that may upset your child's system and spoil his disposition. Castoria is the medi- cine prepared especially for these simple children's ailments, so do not experiment with strong, harsh remedies intended for adults. Use only Cas- toria. Your child will love its pleasant taste and there are no harmful after-effects.
