FISH FOR CHILDREN.

Fish, if fresh and of the right kind, is an excellent food for child- ren. It has great nutritive value, and is less stimulating than meat. Being digested more rapidly, it is necessary to consider this when estimating quantities for a child's dinner. A larger portion should be served than would be given if meat were used. Broths should also be used to supplement a child's dinner when fish is given instead of meat,

The white-fleshed fish are regard ed as best for children, and the Hesh should be firm and hard. It may be boiled, creamed, baked or broiled, but never friend for child- ren. It should be served plain or with sauce made of cream or milk. The well-beaten yolk of an egg may be added to this sauce after remov- ing from the fire.

This dress is intended for plain and printed crêpe de chine. The flared skirt is shirred at the upper edge and placed well below the hip, giving a alender line. The belt, made of the same material as the skirt might be omitted for a full figure.

HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA,

OFTEN USEFUL.

The ordinary bousehold ammonin is one of the most useful com- modities a housewife can have at hand.

When the colours in a carpet look faded, a cloth wrung out in equal parts of ammonia and water and rubbed over the surface will do wonders towarda restoring the colours to their natural hue, besides taking away surface dirt which even the vacuum cleaner cannot remove.

A little ammonia added to water used for cleaning windows will enable them to be cleaned more easily and twice as well.

When soaking table linen and sheets, before wash-day, add a small quantity to the water, and "the dirt will come out twice as easily.

of a tablespoonful ammonia in your bath will answer the purpose quite as well, and make it equally refreshing.

The same solution should be ap plied in the case of ink or other difficult stains on the finger-nails, which will instantly yield to this treatment,

Into a saucepan put an ounce of margarine, melt it and run into it an ounce of flour. Add a little chopped onion, a little chopped parsley, and three-quarters of a pint of milk, salt and pepper to taste. Now cut up cooked potatoes into cubes, and add to the mixture in the pan.
