She was definitely a rheumatic sub- Ject and was recommended for a special Rheumatism Clinic.

The speciallit there may possibly advise that Jean should go to a con. valescent. home for a time," she ex- plained gently to the mother, "and I do hope that you will agree to this for your gille's sake."

She went on to explain that only rest would lead to a complete cure, and that In these special homes, Jean would still be able to have lessons from a gOV ernes who taught the children in the wards.

I noticed that she was wearing heal less sandshoes, and apparently she had chosen this footwear herself with the idea that it would rest her feet.

Reheating Hints

ISHES like shepherd's ple that are made with cooked meat, are apt to grow dry in the oven. This is avoided if the meat is well-

moistened with gravy or stock and a bowl of water is placed at the bottom of the oven.

A fairly hot oven is best, since the dish is more quickly heated and less moisture lost in the process.
