The Duchess of Kent has evolved this practical way of solving the hair problem.

Set all over in tiny curls, you can see how Edwardian is her evening coiffure of piled curls, adorned with jewelled stars. It is an arrangement which gives the head height and small- ness and recalls Queen Alexandra at her loveliest.

Because, however, the Duchess is both a practical and a busy woman, and because these high piled curls do not "sit" well under all hats, she very often has her hair combed down and under in the form of her favourite nage boy bob, with two curls taken back above the cars.

She has been wearing the Edwar dian style at several evening functions recently and the page boy by day, giving reporters quite à headache. The fact is, however, that it is the same set under two guises.

Haddock Such A Useful Fish

DRIEU haddock is a useful fish.

There are many different ways of cooking it in order to vary what might otherwise be rather a monotonous dish.

With Tomatoes TRIM and skin a thick, medium sized dried haddock, cut it into portions and simmer it very gently in milk until tender. Then drain it well, and place it in a well-buttered fireproof dish. Put some tomatoes in boiling water for a few seconds, so that they can easily be skinned. Re- move the skin and slice them over the fish.

Thicken the milk in which the fish was cooked by adding balls of four and butter mixed to- gether using about one ounce of butter. Then add some grated cheese and stir over the stove for about two minutes before pouring the sauce over the fish.. Sprinkle a little more grated cheese over the top and brown for a few minutes in the oven.

On Toast

CUT the dried haddock in two and put the halves in the oven for a minute, so that you can skin it easily. Then remove the bone, and cut the fish into small pieces, and fry them in butter to which has been added a little pepper and finely chop- ped parsley. Put the pieces of fish on lightly buttered toast, adding a sprinkling of grated cheese, if liked. Hot up in the joven, and add, if you wish, a few drops of Worcester sauce.

Grilled

THE simplest way of cooking a

haddock is to lay it open upon the gridiron and grill it. A moderate sized fish takes about six or ten minutes, the time varying according to the thick- ness. The gridiron should be greased before-hand and shav- SAFE DIET FOR GASTRIC
