WHITING FOR SUPPER

If you are looking for something different for supper... whiitng will provide just the change you want. It is very nourishing too.

The most popular way to serve whiting is to try it.

Choose small fish and, after well washing it, dry with a cloth, skin it and curl it by fastening the tali to the mouth by means of " skewer. Season some four with salt and pepper, and rub well into the fish.

Brush the whiting with beaten egg. sprinkle with breadcrumbs, then press the crumbs into the fish with the hands. Fry in plenty of hot fat until browned both sides, with the hot egg slices, and serve with fried parsley.

FOR THE CATERER

The Real Fruit

Compote

I am frequently asked: "What is the difference between a Compote

of Fruit and ordinary Stewed Fruit."

There is a big difference. The compote is delicately and carefully -made so that both the flavour and the shape of the fruit are retained. whereas both are lost in the 'Stew." For the Compote. the sugar is.. made into a syrup"and" the fruit is cooked in this until it is tender, but it is not allowed to break. The fruit must be ripe, and carefully selected. Inferior frült, may serve for a Stew, but it certainly will not do for a Compote.

Make the syrup by boiling to gether half a pound of lump sugar and half a pint of water, and drop into it the fruit to be cooked. Ap- ples should be peeled and cored. sprinkled with lime juice, and cooked in the syrup until tender but still whole. When the apples Green colouring for sauces, dried are taken up, reduce the quantity

When celery is not obtainable, and you want the flavour for some dish, put a teaspoonful of bruised celery seed into a muslin bag and and took it with the sauce, soup, or ragout you are making Remove the bag, of course, before dishing up. The seed will impart as much favour as two heads of celery.

Some facts about Baby's milk that 'every mother should know

THE purity of the dairy milk used in

Baby's diet is of vital importance- but consistent quality is important too Dairy milk varies in composition according to the district in which it is produced and milk that varies is not good for Baby's digestion. Devonshire milk is richest in the nourishing elements that Baby needs.

(

That is why "Ambrosia” is suchTM blessing. It is Devonshire milk 'exclusively, purified and dried in Devonshire itself as soon as it comes from the cows, by a unique process that retains the important vitamins. The quality of "Ambrosia” never varies and it is many times. purer and more digestible than any liquid milk you "can buy. For these reasons "Ambrosia" is "extensively used and recommended by Hospitals, Clinice and Doctors. It is the ideal Milk Food for Expectant Mothers, Nursing Mothers and Infant feeding.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR CARPET

With spring cleaning now in full swing carpets come in for special overhaul.

."

A new pile carpet should be swept with brushes as little as pos sible; hard brushing tends to rough- ness and looss throads. Any loos ends may be cut off with scissors, not pulled out.

The pile of the carpet should be brushed one day only, in the direc tion of the pile, not up and down, and never across. A mechanical sweeper or vacuum is all that is necessary, and they should be lightly handled

A very important point to remem. ber is that carpets should always be kept dry. It is a mistaken idea to use tea leaves, salt, or various pow. ders for laying the dust. Dampness tends to destroy the colour. Ben zine or some other spirit will clean & carpet effectively and quickly.

If your carpet is of a light colour it may appear to be faded, but it is more probaby due to dust. If a plain -coloured carpet appears to be shading," reverse the position of the carpot to distribute the wear.

When laying a plain, carpet it iš always advisable to add brown paper to the underfelt.

This is an opportune time of the year to have your carpet thoroughly cleaned. If you will call up the Steam Laundry their driver will call and pick it up.

For Furrows Under the Eyes

For the furrows under your eyes, warm some olive oil by standing the bottle in hot water, after first removing the cork. Then paint it on very gently at night. Do not rub it in as the skin is so tender at this part it would stretch.

For whitening the skin, make a lotion of equal parts lemon-juice and rose-water.
