When boking a savoury pie, the oven should be hot for the first half- hour or so. As soon as the crust is dark enough, reduce the heat or move the pla to a cooler place and cover the crust with a double pleco of greaseproof paper. Then continue cooking until the meat is tender.

To test the meat, run a skewer through the hole in the top of the ple." When the ple is done, it is a good plan to pour a little hot gravy through the holo in the crust, os there's always a tendency for a ple to be on the dry side. Mixed Grill

For a really satisfying meal you can't do better than a raised plo packed with bacon, sausago, cég, tomato, onion, and a little sliced potato. For this kind of pie you should use a hot-water crust, made

Belts are usually narrow, and often there is no belt. Some times the waist line is marked by trucks or very well controlled horizontal draping. Occasion- ally one sees belts that are wide in front and tapor away to a mere inch or so at the back.

Waists are either normal or low. There would seem to be a desperate effort going on to get the waist down. Both coats and dresses are often made with long bodices which seem to end almost on top of the hips.

Buttons are important-some- times fancy, of silver or gilt metal, and sometimes of bone. For dresses, especially. after noon and evening dresses, there are jewelled buttons, and Anny Blatt makes good use of coloured buttons on her chic hand-knitted sults and frocka.

Materials

Face cloths, plain smooth woollens, or sometimes rough surfaced woollens, are smartest, but sometimes there is a self stripe or other novelty weave. The plainer the better for town wear seems to be the motto for materials for full length winter coats.

Add a squeeze of lemon falee, a good sprinkling of powdered parsley, a grato of nutmeg, and lemon rind. Pour over it this delectable sauce: Two teespoonfuls made mustard, 1 teaspoonful sugar, nearly a gill of vegetable stock or water, and 1 table- spoonfu tomato pulp, well mixed together.

Cover with pantry, decorato edges and brush benten egg. Bake in a moderate oven for 30 to 35 minutes, according to size of pie. Bloaters, prepared as herring and well washed can be used instead of the fresh fish; in which case no salt is needed.

For the potato pastry you will need a 028 flour, 4 oz sleved cooked potatoes, 4 czs margarine, and half teaspoonful salt. Rub the margarine into the flour, add sieved potatoes and salt and enough cold water to make into a stim dough. Roll out and use as short pastry.
