Frying is not so easy as it
looks. There are
rules you must not break If the fish is to be crisp and golden brown and chips to go with it are to be delicious, too.
Some young cooks Imagine that all they need do is put the frying pan on the gas or electric stove. throw in some fat, and when it is melted toss in the food.
That idea is wrong and leads to ruined digestions and spolied food. Follow my instructions and you can emerge from the frying test with flying colours.
Things to remember are that trying ts the quickest mode of cooking, be cause melted fat or oil can be brought to a high temperature, and by contact with it the food is very quickly cooked," All fried food is heated beyond boll- ing point on its surface, therefore frying must not be prolonged, or the ment is overcooked throughout.
This method is not suitable for food that needs slow cooking. When frying. test if the fat is hot enough by drop- ping a low spots of water into the fat. If it bubbles it is ready for use.

F you want to look sophisticated and very smart, then take our Paris artist's tip and follow the white line in fashion. It can be on a proundwork of either black or
navy.
Here are liree sketches of advance models from famous Parts houses for your guidance
Vera Borca contributes the first with broad herringbone efret and much striping round the waist.
The centre dress by Patou Has ver- tical stripes to give the illusion of height, with a horizontal hip poke. Note the white flowerwork on the underbrim the big black hat.
For extreme elegance we could have no better inspiration than from Lucien Lelong's coal dress. Nola the slightly bell-shaped skirt, the edge to edge front opening, and the claver mantpu- lation of the white lines to give a fan- like efect to the skirt. Even tha shoulders are effectively broadened by the addition of criss-cross epaulettes. One touch colour and the amari
becomes banal, with one CI- TCSS ception, the stockings. These are a Cer- deep coppery un-glow colour.
