The usual method of making lemon sauce for chicken is to make a white sauce with butter, flour and milk and flavour it with lemon juice. This snuce would not be permissible on the Hay Dlet because of the mix- ture of proteins, carbohydrates and ncid,

than anything in a holiday from our selves and our besetting sins,
Our habits of meeting trouble half- way, of alwaye Uinking the worst, at expecting too much, of finding same- one to blame when things go wrong. of wasting time in useless regrets, of brooding over small injuries, and nursing a grievance.
These are heavy weights to carry away to the sea or country, shed them for a time, and put on a sunny out- look on life when you put on the gay bathing suit or natty shorts.
Take away your best self, leave the self you are to often nahamed of in your closed tiouse and travel light.
You'll feel so fit that you may decide, when you return, to scrap your foolish habits altogether, empty them away with the rest of the rubbish into tho dustbin, and travel lighter for the rest of your life.
