Give as much thought to the colour of the ceilings as you do to the walls.

Setting her Persian-style hat at the angle-and setting_the fashion as well is this attractive damsel. She's leaving Lord Der- by's London House after attending a display of British fabrics ar- ranged to assist Lancashire's cotton and other British industries.

Colour, of course, is the main so- lution. If you don't want to be too bold, try a pasted tone on your ceil- ing. One of the pleasantest rooms we know has white walls and aqua- marine ceilings. Another attractive room has white walls and pale green ceilings. But you needn't be timid about deeper colours. . . a pine panelled room with mellow brick toned ceiling is very success- Britain's most dressed-up little ful. So is a brown or gunmetal girl, blonde, blue-eyed, Rosemary wall with a brilliant emerald green Baker, aged nine, of the Shelley- ceiling.

Fish salad is very good. Remove

the backbone, put the fish in a deep dish, moisten with plenty of lemon

juice and let it stand all night. The

object of soaking the fish in lemon

juice is that it softens the small

bones, so that they can be removed

easily, otherwise they are very troublesome. Drain, grill the fish,

then tear it into pieces with two

forks and put it into a salad bowl

with plenty of crisp lettuce leaves.

eggs, and when the sauce is made.

stir in equal proportions of finely- minced tarragon, chervil, chives,

and burnet leaves. Pour this dress- ing over the salad.

So many people like the tradi-

tional accompaniments to roast ducks and ducklings that I have given them in the menu, but I would suggest to those who are not conservative that gooseberry

sauce is as good as apple sauce with ducks and geese, and young mashed turnips make a nice change from peas.

These solid syllabubs should al- ways be made the day before they are to be served. If this is done there should be, a clear liquid at the bottom of each glass topped by a thick blanket of cream.
