I visited a friend recently who was busy going through a trunk in which she had stored last summer's clothes for her children.

She washes all their cotton frocks and blouses in the autumn, and then rough-dries them. after which they are rolled away until the following

She has discovered that col- ton garments that are put away ironed and perhaps starched all require re-doing, and are also very likely to wear badly at the folds in which they have lain for so many months.

White garments are wrapped in blue paper, which prevents their gotor yellow.

Children grow very rapidly it they are healthy, and it is always a good idea to plan their garments on lines which will allow for ler- ting out and letting down.

SANDALS would be excellent pro-

There is one sture in London which sells excellent sandals with this built- up arch which prevents flat-fool and I can recommend this type of sandal to all mothers who value a well developed arch and a good earringe In their children.

Salmon Can Be Made More Varied

ONE wonders what the menu-

makers would do throughout the spring and summer months if salmon vanished from the marketa.

There is no more popular fish in the formal menu, and with its well- selected accompaniments in the way of slices of delicately pale green cucumber, the darker green of fresh lettuce leaves and the rich young golden hue of mayonnaise or possi- bly the lighter salad cream, salmon looks as good as it tastes.

Here in a recipe for

TERRINE OF SALMON
