Cut a hole in the middle of your square and put your head through it, straight edge back and front. Arrange the handkerchief in folds round your neck to hang over

your shoulders in the form of sleeves. Pull on a sleeveless jumper, and there you are...

Bottom line

You need an outsize handkerchief for this. Cut a fairly large oval- shaped hote, in the middle, and put your head through it, this time keeping the corners centre front · and back. Belt it in at the waist. Take another - smaller -handker chief,`same colours, and tie it halter fashion round your neck.

Arrange fulness of large handker- chief to give you a blouse effect, and serm it up the sides.

KIPPERS

Jippers at bargain prices. The good The are inexpensive enough. cheapest ones are dear at any price.

If I were judging kippers, I would dis- qualify any which were too larger too dry, too pale, or too hard. Plumpness is desir able, but I have never yet tosted a good kipper above medium size..

If your fishmonger were testing a kip- he would apply slight pressure to the per, nesh on the side where the backbone lies.

He would hope to find a fatty quality about it and a certain amount of "give." If it felt as hard as a board, he would, I hope, write rude letters to the source of origin.

I am not suggesting that you should spend your shopping time in prodding -- kippers. Nor is the fishmonger.

The eye should be able to detect that pleasant fat and olly quality and the rich, dark colour with a Unge 'of gold,

Now for the cooking. Half the charred kippers of this world are caused by people not realleing that a well-cured läpper is

Apart from frying them, which is almost too easy, another way of cooking kippers is to put them in a frying pan, cover them with milk and water in equal parts, Iny a plate or saucepan lid on top of them, and keep them on the fre until they just come to the boll.

This is a good way of cooking them when you want to turn them into kipper toast, or combing them with eggs, as in the following recipe.

When the kippers have got cold take the flesh from the bones and flake it with n fork:

For each kipper beat together an egg and two tablespoonfuls of milk, stir. In the Ash, and season with pepper.

Melt a knob of buiter in a saucepan, pour in the mixture and stir til It thickens.

If the fish is going to be cooked under the grill, let it ie skin side uppermost for a minute or so, then turn it over, put

a dab of butter on it, and finish the cook- ing in three or four minutes.

Squeeze a lttle lemon juice on it just before serving.
