Eggs

A WELL-KNOWN French

chef says that "eggs are the cement that hold the castles of cookery together." This is the reason why they form the foundation of so many tasty and succulent dishes.

They contain also all the essential vitamins for steady growth, for the making of flesh, bone, and muscle, and for the production of vitality and body ncat.

Here are some tasty dishes suit- able either for lunch or supper:- Hazel Eggs

Four eggs; half pint brend snuce. One ounce butter; two tablespoons grated cheese; seasonings.

Grease a fireproof dish, and pour the bread sauce into it. Break eggs carefully into sauce, sprinkle over the cheese and seasonings, pince small dabs of butter on top, and put in a and set quick oven til eggs brown (about 15 minutes.)

Asparagus Eggs

Four fresh eggs; one large tin as- paragus.

Quarter teaspoon sugar,

Pinch nutmeg and cayenne pepper.

One ounce grated cheese.

Haif ounce hitter.

Quarter pint milk; salt.

Mash the asparagus--add all the

Ingredients except the oggs and

Knockabout

Clothes

Casual, comfortable outfits for wearing

around your house and garden

TT'S a big relazation for a woman to

wear clothes that are really comfort- ahlo, that won't crush or get out of shape, that look nice without any sort of pretence at creating an effect. There are plenty of times when you can wear this sort of out- fit: when you are spending a day at home, doing odd jobs about the house; when you want to potter in the garden; when you come home after a tiring day and want to change into something to relax in.

If you want to do the thing property and take a day off from fussing with make- up as well as from fussing with your

clothes, tie your hair beck,with a ribbon and put nothing on your face except a thin coat of cream; it will reat your skin and start it nicely on the way to a summer tan.

Here are three sorts of knockabout clothes; all casual, comfortable, practical -and attractive too.

1

Shirt and slacks the most prac tical, comfortable outfit of the lot to wear about the house and garden. The slacks are made of light

brown corduroy, plain and tailored, fastening with two short zipps running diagonally up the front. Pockets are set round on the hips. Shirt is wild-cherry red, made of a porous

ture. It fastens up the front with a zipp, has short sleeves and a deep ribbed waist.

A divided skirt is one of the best compromises between feeling comfortable and koking uncon- ventional. Horo is one made of brown wool - firm but fairly light material-with a loose centro panel whitch buttons the front with six buttons and hides the divide.

The skirt is cut to hang full, hold at the waist by a belt which slots underneath the centre panel.

A pinafore suit is cool, comfort- able, young-looking. This

Under it a blouse of spotted tussore- bine spots on a yellow ground. Shoes, cross-over Bandals,
