The pattern is worked with a very fine crochet cot- ton or silk, and is easily and quickly made.

At the 6th row, begin to work in loops; each loop in the first row of loops consists of 4 chi; entch the loops with a silp stitch. Into every other d. cr. of the preceding row. In the next row make loops of 5 ch., and catch them with a slip stitch into the centre of the preceding loop: work every row in the same way, but increase the size of the loops in each row by one ch. until there are 14 ch. in each loop.

Herrings Fried

in Oatmeal

Remove the heads and tails from the Ash and wipe dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dip in beaten eg and then in coarne oatmeal. Meanwhile, be getting your fat hot, really hot, When a blue smoke is rising, pop in the fish and fry brisky for Ave to ten minutes according to the thickness of the fish, Don't put

more than two fish in the pan at

once or you will reduce the heat of the fat too much. Drain on kilchen paper and serve piping hot.

Herring

If your family is inclined to com- plain of the hones in a herring, try { this method. It is a good plan to prepare the flat overnight in this

case,

Cut off the heads and tails and split the Ash down the underside, Place the cut side down on a board and press gently but Ormly up and down the backbone. Turn the fish over.and you will, find that you can ijft the backbone out quite easily, i bringing most of the small bones with it.

Now season the underside of ench fish with salt and pepper and spread with tomato sauce. Roll up from the tail end and puck to a bullered casserole. Put a tiny shaving of butter on top of each roll.

In the morning all you have to do is to pop the casserole in a moderate oven and bolte for about ten minutes.. Incidentally, there is practically no smell from herrings cooked like this If you cover the casserole with a la or greaseproof paper.
