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 hen hair combed down and under in the form of her favourite page boy bob, with two curls taken back above the ears.

She has been wearing the Edwar-

Haddock Such A Useful Fish

DRIED 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- the skin and slice them Jover the fsh.

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.

CUT

On Toast

UT 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 oven, 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 ings of butter should be put on the fish before-serving. Great care is needed in the feeding mered in water for a few min- The fish may also be sim- sutterers from gosiric and duodenal ulcers and Inflammation of utes, and then put in a greased the stomach.
