CHEESE BALLS

HOP up a head of celery and nimmer it very slowly indeed

with a handful of rice in

water to keep it from burning. Then add a pint and a half of white stock, bring to the boil, pass through a sieve, heat through and serve with fried croutons.

--For-a-change-add some mixed herbs to your Yorkshire_ pudding with the beef.

For the cheese balls, whip as stiffly as possible four whites of eggs, and add by degrees, whipping well all the time, six ounces of finely-grated, rather dry cheese. Shape lightly into little balls, roll in fine breadcrumbs, and fry quickly in deep fat.

When

about balf an inch thick. cold, cut it into squares, dip them in batter, and fry in smoking fat. Serve with hot jam

Rice and Jam

SPREAD out the cream of rice as before, and cut it into rounds about three and a half inches across. Put a spoonful of thickish jam or fruit puree in the middle of each round, roll the rico over it to make a little ball with the filling in the middle, dip in batter and fry in deep smoking fat

FLA

Haddock

LAKE up finely some cooked smoked haddock, and mix

it with some fairly thick whilte Bauce. Let the mixture 'get cold, then shape into corks or little rounds, dip in batter and fry in smoking fot.

A little chopped parsley can be and spread it out to cool, added to the mixture, and a season-

of

buttered rounds of brown bread, about an inch and a half in diameter, as well as half that number of rounds of lean cooked ham or bacon, the same size, Make sandwiches with bread, bacon, little chutney and bread; dip these into your batter, and fry them in smoking fat.

Meat

R

COLD beet, mutton, lamb or

pork will make very pleasant' fritters for luncheon or supper. Chop up finely a quarter a pound of the meat and add it to a batter made with six ounces of flour, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and a gill of tepid water, with a teaspoon- ful of mixed herbs, the grated rind of half a lemon, sait, black pepper, nutmeg and finally a stify whisked white of egg.

Drop In spoonfuls into smoking fat and save with fried parsley. The addition of a very little finely chopped onion is liked by some.

Meat (2)

NOTHER way of - making meat fritters is to cut the cold meat into thin rounds about on Inch and a half in diameter. Spread. these on both sides with mashed potato, dip them in batter and fry them in hot fat.

These fritters can be varied by seasoning: the meat in different ways, or by adding herbs to the potato, or by the use of varlous sauces which can be lightly sprinkled, on the meat before it is encased in the potato.

Make-up Rules

Tis possible to work wonders with your face if you understand the technique of applying make-up. You should, however, be on familiar terms with the correct routine.

Here are the nine rules you should remember. Cut them out and paste them on a cardboard for reference.

1

It is essential. that she skin is freshly cleaned. If the skin is normal wash with complexion soap, lukewarm water and a rubber sponge,

If the skin is dry clean with cleansing milk on a pad of colton wool. Sponge off thoroughly with cool water.

If the skin is olly rinse with cool water, and apply a skin freshener on u pad of cotton wool.

2

Apply smasi dab of powder foundation cream to forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Blend away from centre of face with the Angertips until the cream seems to disappear. For oily complexions apply foundation lotion. Dub small portion with cotton wool on forehead, cheeks, chin and nose." Blend lightly with fingertips. Wipe off surplus with cleaning tissue,

3

Apply eye shadow to upper lid only, blending very lightly with' Ongertips up towards cycbrow, out towards the corner of the eye.

4

If cream rouge is used apply this with the fingertips before powdering. Place three or four little dots over the part of the check you' wish to rouge, then blend lightly with your fingertips until the edges fade into 'the natural colour of your cheeks. Be careful to apply exactly the same quantity on each cheek, and in exactly the same position on each ' check,

✓

Start by powdering the chin, then the checks, nose, and last the fore- head. Take a clean piece of cheese cloth, a soft tissue or powder brush, and wipe off all surplus powder. Dip cheese cloth in clean water and wipe powder off cyclashes and eyebrows.

6

If eyebrow pencil is used, sketch eyebrows in with small, light strokes. If cycbrow pencil. is not used the eyebrows should be brushed with a special brush kept for this purpose.
